I get that breathalyzers give you a nice simple, relatively objective number to point at, but shouldn't we be testing for actual impairment rather than the presence of chemicals which may or may not be an indicator of impairment?

Yeah, this is just a list of favorite apps among the indie Apple developer crowd. I'm surprised Daring Fireball didn't end up on there somehow :)

Not sure how I feel about the product itself. Giving "karma" to your coworkers and having a leaderboard feels a bit Black Mirror Nosedive-esque https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive_(Black_Mirror) Are these

Eh, they were very different. From a technical perspective I'm not sure which bug is worse (FWIW the Bitcoin one happened 1 year after it launched and 5 years before Ethereum launched), but the justification for forking Ethereum was we

If enforcing property rights and laws that protect public health and safety is "dehumanizing" then I don't know what to tell you.

What are the chances all of the negative press the F-35 has gotten is disinformation designed to mislead adversaries?

That's different than putting homeless on busses to another city.

Sorry, where did I say that? I'm talking about not creating incentives for homeless to concentrate in one city. I'm pretty sure it's better for society overall for the homeless population to be widely distributed than concent

It seems obvious to me: if laws against behaviors that are common among homeless were actually enforced then some subset of the homeless population would try harder to not be homeless, or move to another location.

Did you read the article or even the headline? The ADL literally says it's a trolling gesture, not a white supremacist sign. You can argue that this type of trolling is bad because helps normalize white supremacy, but that doesn't

I think it’s important to separate the actions and intents of the company from their users. Any platform that has free speech as a core value will tend to attract objectionable people and content. That wiki page is mostly about the horrible

I’m not saying I disagree, since I haven’t seen any evidence one way or the other, but maybe you or jtr1 could provide some evidence for those who haven’t been following Gab?

Facebook and Google didn't even exist when CDA and DMCA were passed.

I completely agree when it comes to small to medium-sized websites, but Facebook is effectively a monopoly. At a minimum they should have clearly defined rules and transparent processes for censoring content and banning users.

A bit ironic coming from Kara, who jumped on social media to condemn the Covington Catholic students before the whole story was out, but at least she admitted her mistake https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1087

It seems like wishful thinking to expect the majority of consumers of illicit drugs to know or care about the origin of their drugs. Pushing for US government to legalize and regulate these drugs is probably the most effective action.

"Adversity Score" sounds a bit like something you'd find at the "Oppression Olympics", which is a term often used to criticize exactly this type of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppressio

Yeah I have to agree. It would be one thing if the poster were a known member of the HN community, or any adjacent community, but it's a brand new account. I don't think this kind of posting is sustainable.

I think we need to accept that from this point forward some subset of the internet will be outraged about literally everything, and try not to let it have a disproportionate effect on our actions.

I think it's possible, but I'm not sure what DockerHub does. GitHubs OAuth tokens can't be restricted to be read-only or to specific repos ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26372417/github-oauth2-

Good point. I probably assumed it due to the "brief period" language, but you're right, that's highly ambiguous. I've edited my comment.

Oh, and if anyone with write access to your repositories had their GH/BB account linked to their DockerHub account , your source code could be compromised. AFAIK the only way to check is to ask every person who has write access and

I've found Docker's communication about this incident to be pretty poor. 1. The email they sent out didn't specify whether your account was included in the 5% of compromised users, or whether you had linked GitHub or BitBucke

The craziest thing to me is a lot of people have been claiming Tether was a fraud for years , but according to this it may not have actually had any issues until ~6 months ago. So they decided to prop up Bitfinex with Tether funds long aft

My main issue with things like this is security. I don't particularly want to be responsible for running Internet-facing services as a hobby. I would only consider it if they had a good track record and really solid story around securi
