It’s best to stay away from broadly controversial topics that attract masses of non-experts. These people have no idea what reasoned debate is all about, so there’s no point in subjecting oneself to such an assault.

The issue is, as stated: > I am actually a bit worried that I’m already starting to see search engine traffic coming in... We can discuss hypothetical systems that could maliciously flood us with generated content. The creator of this pa

Capitalism has everything to do with it: a commercial entity fires people on a whim, whereas public school teachers basically cannot be fired. The NYC public school system is full of underperforming teachers who shouldn't be employed t

In a capitalist society, I will see in a negative light any statement or action that negatively impacts my livelihood. I don’t care if the most vocal activists think that it’s “right” in an absolute sense to enact a policy of reverse discri

Anyone building out a setup based on cgroups and namespaces will eventually arrive at a poorly specified, bug ridden mini Docker. Might as well get with the program early.

I don't look inside my personal e-mail inbox unless I'm expecting to receive a message at a particular time: "click on the verification link we sent you" and variations on the theme. If other mail appears on the screen a

Plastic is a great material for some uses, but it’s also a very durable material. I’d love to purchase shampoo in the form of a refill of the plastic shampoo bottle I’ve already purchased some months ago. Why buy a new bottle every time? Th

The story of Docker, Inc should be read as a cautionary tale to those who think that every random bit of open source should be “monetized” by seeking rent for its continued use and support.

As stated previously: this is useless. What is the point of building alternative push notification services that can’t even properly rise above the bar of technical feasibility?

Useless without iOS support. What’s the point of an abstraction that has only a single implementation?

It's not normal and shouldn't be allowed to become some dystopian new normal.

This isn’t the future for my family or for any family with children. I grew up in a communal apartment in Russia, and let me tell you how suffocating it was to exist day in and day out in the company of strangers and their quirks. And what

Cargo ships get attacked & hijacked all the time. There exist some shipping lanes where such risks are well known. In fact, US Navy ships regularly patrol such shipping lanes in an effort to curtail or stop piracy. At the very least, ma

Protecting privately owned power plants at all costs is just another manifestation of the "too big to fail" mentality. If the comparison doesn't seem immediately relevant to you, see if you can find similarities between finan

My point is that the government shouldn't be itching to get itself in the business of retaliating against foreign attacks on non-government entities. Eventually the attackers and the attacked will sort themselves out. There's no n

The folks who have signed this open letter don't represent average New Yorkers. I live in New York, yet no one ever asked me how I felt about this Amazon thing. This should have been put to a popular referendum. Present the people with

In case of being stricken by an incurable disease, I'm going to die anyway. I'm sure my people will understand my choice to make a graceful exit before illness takes away any shred of my dignity.

When I was in my early 20s, I got myself a beefy life insurance policy that covers suicide after some waiting period that has expired many years ago. I know that in case of crippling illness I can always take the easy way out while preservi
