Speaking of lost bets: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6703467 I just lost a 5-year bet for $10 to Keyframe ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Keyframe ) It would be mildly interesting to have an HN-

Why can't there be automated test suites that catch unauthorized access issues before ship (if not before merge commit)? Usually the search space is too large.

In other words, a Xapo depositor would eat the loss in the event of a successful attack on the cold storage system. The same is true of Coinbase. Somehow they've been fine.

Isn't it a little hyperbolic to imply that an offhanded joke is suppressing a marginalized subset of people? Or that it was discriminatory? Here's his full reply in context: https://lwn.net/Articles/753654&#x2

So? Policing humor is a trope in dystopian novels for a reason. If someone wants to make unsightly jokes, you're free to be offended. But implying that it's not acceptable to act that way is probably a bit far.

I do care that someone who is a role model and a public figure acts like this. Why? It's fine to be offended. It's his project. Just fork and move on, if necessary.

I respect that, but... I don't know. It's been a mistake in the past to let other peoples' perceptions define who I am. I was just hoping to convince you it's not worth it. As a closing point, it wasn't until minori

If it's who you are, there's no way to change it. Why go through life being ashamed or treating it with a cold distance? pg's "Keep your identity small" comes to mind. But when it's a description of your mental

Why? I'm proud of being an introvert. It's a source of strength. Most of my best ideas come from solitude. I think this is a case of haters gonna hate. The defining characteristic of an introvert is that you feel drained being in

Start writing about it. Five or so years later, if you gain a following, it can have an effect.

I'd love this and use it regularly if it supported Chrome and markdown syntax. I know it wouldn't be 200 bytes, but this is a pretty great idea.

Are you feeling ok? I didn't expect such a hostile reaction for what appears to be no reason. If you want to ruin six years of pseudonymity, you're free to do so of course. In the context of the original thread, the claim was that

There's no reason to get personal. We're all on the same side here.

Your argument would carry more weight if you weren't hung up solely on the weed angle. There are far more injustices than selective enforcement of weed offenses. That said, it's hard to equate incarceration with slavery unless the

I think generating money for you counts as working together. Maybe your guess is mistaken, or you're trying to get me to reveal more about myself.

Not quite. The point of a startup is to get rich and then not think about money. It's why people endure the pain. (It wasn't till I tried starting one that I realized just how painful it is.) A bootstrapped startup that you stop p

Smearing someone's reputation is probably ok, but only with substantive sources. Otherwise it's far too easy to just throw out a half-truth.

Super Mario Maker did. It would be a shadow of its current self without Twitch + Reddit. Dota became a cultural phenomenon, and has stayed a cultural phenomenon, solely through the internet. No internet, no dota. It's simply mistaken.

This ignores franchises. Fortnite 2 is surely on the horizon. EDIT: To phrase it more bluntly: "The only game to ever become a lasting cultural phenomena via internet virality is Minecraft." ... is mistaken. Mario is the most ob

I didn’t mean to sound like I was rubbing anything in. It felt helpful to point out that security is sometimes a concern, and why.

I've worked with you, and it was false for me. I concealed it because of social stigma. (Adderall, not modafanil.) Perhaps you're referring to founders specifically though, rather than people you've worked with. There's

Yeah, I'll break ranks and admit that yes, I do, and yes, it's necessary. This is partly due to compensate for a medical condition. Part of the reason it's dangerous, however, is because no one goes in prepared what to expect

I don't think that will work. For example, I just admitted that this happened to me in a sibling comment, and immediately my reflex was to delete it. Then I thought better of it. We are all human, and we're all pressed for time. W

Yes. One of my worst and most shameful memories is nearly falling asleep at the wheel. That was the first and last time. It's way too easy to think it can't happen to you. You just have to take it seriously. Self-driving tech can&

Devs like you were some of our favorite targets in the pentest world. What I wouldn't give for your ~/.bash_history file... I bet I could pivot to three different servers in under an hour. This is an exaggeration, but only slightl

Note that there is a censorship angle worth thinking about as well. None of us see the scores. That means the mods can and do rearrange the comments however they want. My comments, for example, have been rearranged to start and stay at the

Unfortunately it's not far fetched. I wish it were. It's just an unpleasant thought we've decided not to think about. LE are a US corp, subject to US laws, and at the whim of US court orders. The implications of that are wort
