Eh, maybe off of all google services, but the barrier from switching of the consumer version of chrome is frictionless. Uprooting you're whole life and moving to canada is a non-trivial commitment that it would be difficult to get the

I just posted a thread asking about design considerations for something like this. There are a lot of monitoring sites but they are typically for internal consumption. I am really interested in real-time, or timely monitoring of external

That is essentially my thinking but I don't fully understand the profile of an attack. Small websites would go down, but something like google or twitter would certainly not simply cave. Twitter would serve cached content (as most site

We need to take a stand, but I encourage everyone to look at what is happening with depth. The immigration actions are terrible, misguided and anti-Anerican BUT much like abortion or taxation this is the most distracting and highlighted iss

I agree that OP is pretty unashamedly doing "bad" stuff. That said, if it was a jr dev who really had a different question that was closed, and had searched through SO and couldnt get help, I would be more apathetic/agree wit

If this is genuine (and it feels that way) then flagging it not the right way to handle this. Downvote the post and hope the community agrees but flagging something that isnt outside HN guidelines is a bit strong unless you believe itvis a

The reasons states were essentially: - Not Comprehensive - Not wholly accurate - Difficult to keep updated - Not all sourced/vergiable or unsourced Which is totally fair, except that would apply to a lot of articles...

It's tough to get excited about macOS. F.lux is 7 years old. I am running Yosemite and I have to keep my own installer for new machines & restoration. I like nightshift, don't get me wrong, but I've never met someone who

IDK enough about ML to guess whether this is a uniquely useful dataset, and it is def good they are doing this...but. Quora and Yelp are ao user-hostile I try to not even open their links. The mobile homepage is literally oath signin button

I am easily distracted and also like the team environment because you can tighten the feedback loop and communicate efficiently. I am the same way as the author-- night owl, ect. Going to an office is a solution for me and an option I wish

I find Ellen Pao to often be wrong and ineffectual due to external and internal factors. Lauren Betchelder, referenced in Paos article, is an 18 year old mature and accomplished individual. She had a strong biased against Trump and when she

A few people have made the point that the ability to switch is much easier-- both because linux has become more user friendly & their skills have evolved as well. Linux is great. I have been coding/learning/programming for alm

Super dangerous! Sure twitter is a big private company it has the right to moderate content-- but should it. Reddit also moderates content. The NYC moderates content, sure the founding family "controls" editorial responsibility

Thanks! That was one of the more kafka-esque debug stories. Going to reread it for old times sake and encourage anyone who hasn't to give it a look over.

I'll try and dig my favorite debugging story up about all emails failing to send passed ~500 miles. That was pretty crazy near sorcery as well.

This article is at least 3 years too late to be unique. I suggest anyone who feels the same way should switch to using the broadcast platform of the huge media platform they work for to opine to their many followers-- oh wait... Promoting c

What about buying rights to the liveatream and setting up a huge movie screen and sound system. Sell tickets to the live rebroadcasting venue.

I agree. Patronizing a company diametrically opposed to one's interests is terrible. Disproportionately, music lovers seem to be the first to deride TM but defend why they won't use anything else.

Buy a prepaid vanilla visa. Give credit card info over the phone. Give regular credit card over the phone. Buy tickets on craigslist (at least not directly supporting TM) Go a day early, buy tickets at the venue. Have friend buy extra ticke

I agreed with the parents sentiment but I think it should be up to the incestors. I also agree with you. I was stating why 3 years of being public it was still relavent to discuss the news of the original post. That said, a public company t

While I concur with above, I think investors should have the option. I suspect that the parent was referring to Twitter having a string of issues since IPO. Over the 3 years they have faced significant problems like leadership change, produ

I have read this and another post from CM team. I somehow missed what the main catalyst was for shutting down. Is there a succinct explanation? What happened?
