The title is misleading. It's a renewed attempt to begin achieving more cooperation, small steps, not integration.

Well, sure, the b.s. was flying on both sides during the referendum, and of course it was political. That sort of debate is the very definition of politics. I don't see how the current debate is going to be any different in that regard

The main one I've been missing is Pentadactyl (for quite a while). Vimium-FF is ok I guess. My main objection is still the sheer size and the amount of memory it takes, and the continual feature creep to make it more and more like Chro

I've been using firefox since forever too. (Actually, since Mozilla 1.0 (aka Nutscrape) in 1993 or thereabouts.) I'm at that point where I'm about to dump it again, as I have periodically in the past. They keep making it mor

Earlier this year, I began looking at youtube subscription and view numbers a lot. A younger family member said something about a very popular youtuber who had been accused of racism and being a nazi, so I looked at it to see what the fuss

I think they should have played a pickup game with the kids. They could have had some glorious "team-building" experience and built up the community at the same time. Like, get to know the neighbors before they are displaced bec

I live in a small city in the midwest. I've never heard people complain about "tech bros" here, probably because any we might have are basically invisible, but there are a lot of people who really dislike and distrust the co

Obviously the kids that were there had no idea that it could be reserved. See another comment here about that reservation being available only on an app, not the website. The cluelessness is in the aggressive assertion of their "right

The video of Dropbox employees trying to kick local kids off the soccer field is exactly how I picture most of the failed social interactions in Silicon Valley. Utterly clueless, then they wonder why people say they dislike them.

It is not uncommon for smart, experienced people to suddenly become ignorant rubes in the context of lawsuits.

They are not making more, but reasonably priced used sparc64 servers are still reasonably easy to find. OpenBSD runs well on most models.

Apple's claim to fame was always that "grannies and other tech illiterates" could use their stuff without having to go to any help resource. Apple has lost its advantage there. Good luck getting many of them to talk to thei

My town is on the list and still incredibly affordable. I guess it's time to buy up some properties so I can gouge these youngsters later. Not a bad retirement plan, actually. It will be nice to be on the other end of the transactio

The most fun I've had using social engineering was to get access to a database that the pukes in the home office had locked up. Our boss' boss wanted access to the raw data, but they wouldn't give it to us. My colleague and I

Historical loss data is definitely collected by insurance companies for analysis by their underwriters. Sometimes they share that information with each other. For example, some limited loss data is shared among companies for auto claim inf

Late reply, but no, I didn't really have the younger generations in mind when I said this. I was thinking of my generation compared to my parents' and grandparents' generations. Heck, even comparing presidents from the last 4

Not do what they do, but think like they thought. Many medieval authors wrote from the perspective that the ancients were much more intelligent and knowledgeable than they. The Renaissance, for example, was sparked by the discovery of anc

I would argue that ancient peoples were much more intelligent on average than people today. It is obvious to me that even in the past few generations, each subsequent generation has been less intelligent, more narrow minded, and overall le

This is a great idea! Thanks for putting together all these resources and making it easy to contribute. I'm sure I'll be using it and referring others to it as well. Of course, I immediately went directly to the section on C. I no

It got that far long a few years ago at least. If we had sensible enforcement of the regulations and laws against monopolies, Google would have been broken up already.

First, there's no real name policy here. Second, the quality of content and discussion is much higher here than on Facebook. Third, the HN community is tiny compared to Facebook. For starters.

I considered that, and had a couple of thoughts: 1. HN is not a place where I seek "likes," karma (I know some do though), or share gifs of cats. Since there is karma and some sort of static identity attached to comments, though,
