What do you do? Walk up and place him under arrest. He might have a bomb. He might have a trigger for it, or he might have a dead-man's switch. It might detonate and kill you along with bystanders. That's a risk you take. Un

Nearly everyone on HN would be aware of the great seal of the United States? That thing I see on podiums and backdrops? That all formal diplomatic letters are still sealed with to this very day, without exception. Why would anyone here

Only the rich can afford to own nothing/exert effort to have empty space without consequence. Reminds me of the reason that grass yards exist: to show the world that one can afford land for the sake of owning it, rather than for gro

I can't speak to GP's intention, but I've personally witnessed a guy on my team who was trying to position himself as the go-to technical dude. He was jockeying for a management role. When QA or customer support had questio

Years ago, an article in MCN said that something like 3/4 of all single vehicle motorcyclist fatalities involved alcohol. They also mentioned that Harley cruiser culture was wildly overrepresented. Hopefully, with Baby Boomers agin

the schools have to choose between giving these kids subpar teachers who are happy to live up there, or miserable teachers who are only doing it for the money. 1) Why is that the dichotomy? 2) Do you say the same thing about well-paid oil

whereas Unixen have a core task context model of a bunch of threads that by default do not share memory. How are those not simply child processes? I don't understand your use of the word 'threads' here. Does the Unix worl

I would like to know the history of this car. I'm not doubting the claims, but a plausible explanation is that he bought the car used, possibly with a salvage title, and the flipper he bought it from bypassed the blown airbag. Airbag

54% of Americans read below a 6th grade level. People word-mash "alot", "atleast", and now "eachother" all the time. Sports commentators use verse when they mean versus. I'm not suggesting that you corre

Five or ten years ago, the local Kroger introduced 3D, photorealistic, shaded stickers as advertisements on the floor. I once nearly fell over because, after peering at something on a shelf, I went to take a step back and caught sight of a

No true Scotsman fallacy Absolutely false. Just because a cook does something multiple times a day doesn’t mean... Strawman. Regardless, I can assure you that most food service work does not meet some Jiro Dreams of Sushi ideal.

As a 90s Amiga kid, I am deeply offended by the cultural appropriation. ;-) This was an excellent read. It always amazes me when people discover functionality in old hardware, even if it couldn't be exploited at the time. It reminds
