I used to run OpenSuse, when I installed it, I basically just went for the express install, which formatted my drive with xfs. I had dropbox setup, and one day a popup told me it was no longer supported. They decided my file system was no

53% of millenials have a favorable view of socialism today. But in th 20th century when we were fighting wars to "contain" it, we had senators keeping lists of people they suspected had favorable opinions of it. It used to be an

To be fair, there is a vaccine (still experimental), and the disease is spread via contact with bodily fluids. It sounds like one of the major issues is there is conflict which is preventing people from either trusting people trying to hel

Imagine what competition in the search space would do for adword prices. I have no idea how one would go about breaking up google search, and the infrastructure/IP behind it. Or changing consumer habits, but there would be a lot of b

This is a big move, it transitions Amazon from a more traditional retailer, to something more akin to a dropshipper. I'm reminded of Wayfairs Castlegate business. The manufacturer now takes on the responsibility of forecasting, they

From my reading, it's not removing them from the marketplace. Instead these are suppliers Amazon.com (not the market place) would buy in bulk directly from. They will now need to transition to the marketplace. There is a plus, which

I was pretty anti-PHP before I worked for a multi-billion dollar company that was built on top of it. It's not a beautiful language, but it offers a lot of side benefits in terms of dev-ops, and tooling, and frameworks. As a company,

I think hand-made "artisan" products is going to continue to be a large part of the future of "Jobs". Automation can mass produce high quality items that aren't unqiue, and 3D printers can make unique products that

"technology that eliminated half of all programming jobs" Technology changes so much that half of all programming jobs that exist today will be gone in 10 years. Some new ones will be created though. The scary thing to me though,

When I write engines that implement business rules, I NEVER just "take the liberty". If it's not in the spec, then I either get clarification, or I throw an exception. In my opinion it's better for the program to fail.

That's a big part of this article, it talks about a network of censors. Since stealth crafts are typically only stealthly at certain angles, the combination of multiple view points would highlight any stealth objects, and that merged

Out of curiousity, is there a site where people can put up some money for an open request on development? Like as opposed to hiring a contractor, and specifically developing the requirements, it would be more similar to a feature request w

There's a way to make it by reducing most of the water away so you get a 20x concentrate that's quite shelf stable... and probably cheap to ship. Here's an example ( https://www.morethangourmet.com/ ) these st

I would say this is crazy, but truth be told... if I saw someone selling like super high quality heirloom tomatoes online... I'd probably buy some. But what I've actively searched out, and have yet to find is someone selling lobs

Children are extremely taxing on time. If both parents work, even more so. It's harder to go out (so now you have to cook most nights) the amount of laundry you have to do doubles or quadrouples. Then there's trying to teach you

In the us, we've successfully avoided a gun registry (with the exception of a few states) probably because gun ownership has such a direct connection with the idea of a potential tyrannical government. But these types of systems are g

I've personally never seen a public company have such a real time insight into the primary revenue driver of the company. In theory this should be the most effecient stock on the market. Even if this is only a portion of the overall

I saw value in being able to confirm the public record matches what you did in the booth. When you vote there would be a record of the registration Id voted for this particular election id. Information that you voted is already available..

Fair enough, this idea came to me before 2016. Post 2016, in this world where people are ready to commit violence purely based off their judgement of your political beliefs, this is a legitimate concern.

My ideal voting system would allow me to have a real time feed of votes as they come in, so that at the end of the night I can check my records vs the "official" records. Names can be detached, all I need is a Ballot id. BallotI

I think HN teaches some great lessons. Building an online community has little to do with the technology of the platform. What matters the most is a strong robust set of founders, slow growth, and vigilent moderators. The founders will s
