Customer: I need my internet. The technician is 2 hours late and I need a steady stream of cat gifs directly injected into my veins to stay alive. Response: Our field technicians report that all their trucks were stolen by a low-level drug

I disagree, I think avatars/signatures added a lot of noise to the conversation and made it harder to follow. I like HN's approach where if you want to check someone's profile, it exists, but it requires a small amount of eff

I don't like the reliance on emacs. I do a lot of writing on my phone and tablet, which have limited emacs support. That adds some overhead for my writing, which would distract from the main point (writing). Instead of org mode, I boug

handbrake is a fantastic piece of open source software, I think it's worth reposting every now and then.

I think it's important because it sounds incorrect, but in reality it works out like that. In my experience most people think that if you give a poor person money they are just going to spend it on things which make their life worse, l

I’ve done this a few times. Usually it works out but once I lost like $400 because I kept doubling up. Was it worth risking $400 to potentially win $20? I don’t think so. Freaking house always wins.

That’s a good point. The potential for destroying yourself financially may be a meaningful part of the addiction. At least at a casino you may be more restricted, you can’t use credit cards for example, while margin trading on Robinhood le

I understand gambling at Casinos as a fun novelty with your friends. But as a legitimate way of making money? Seems so risky. Especially when gambling online seems pretty straightforward. Or even better, gambling a percentage of your income

I like this attitude: "I let him know I'm here as a resource, I'm not an activist, I'm not trying to be a pain in his ass," Petersen added. "I think it's a feature that government moves slowly; you don&#x2

You’re being sarcastic, right? You’re aware of which country started the last two WORLD WARS, right????!??!

What does it mean to host a personal cloud vs hosting a server? I thought the point of using cloud services was so you didn’t have to host it yourself.

"The Amish don’t always reject a technology, but they have very specific rules about how it is to be used." Maybe they determined a way to use their iphones without them being harmful? I.e. using specific apps or only in certain c

Interesting article. How do people usually name their keys in their i18n data files? For example, do you name based on the 'what' or the 'where'? The what: greeting: "Hello" or the where: dashboard.header: &quo

Incredibly touching too: "I’ve had many clients that I remember fondly and who mean a lot to me. One client I would regularly hold in close skin-to-skin contact as he cried, and I cried with him; another was young and vibrant and too b
