I'll give one. It comes with the disclaimer that every time I've brought this up, I've been told I don't "get" blockchain. I want a national voting system with distributed ledgers in every state, and to add to

I completely agree with you. I’ve been faithful since I was able to afford an iPhone in my mid 20s. I’ve determined that if something doesn’t change, this is my last iPhone. I’ll pile that on with the fact that Ive already decided not to ge

This is wonderful to see, big fan of LibreOffice. I am left questioning a few things based upon the feedback in this thread. I'll preface this that I'm trying to be cordial and tactful here. Why is it so bad that Microsoft charges

It would be swell if folks in this thread could stop pretending Bill Gates is a moron. I mean seriously, I swear folks with no real experience feel the need to chime in and pretend their ignorance is as good as everyone else’s intelligence.

In my experience, software architectural failure is endemic across multiple organizations and not an epidemic. The subtle difference is that many companies lack the discipline or the desire to vet new technologies or to review existing tech

I actually have a crazy conspiracy theory that the reason they swap certain items is because there is a secondary means of profit where Instacart makes money through companies paying them to “suggest” certain products. I’ve had multiple occ

I love HN, and I hate to risk my account, but I'm tired of responses like this. You're being an asswipe. There is no reason for you to respond this way. The lens upon which you view the world must be pretty god damned shallow to m

Bingo. YMMV, but in my experience the majority of inefficiency is caused by middle managers who are too busy trying to "win" political capital or burn down perceived enemies. After watching HPE for a number of years my guess is th

Can you please cite sources where Apple marketed TouchId this way? At most Apple was trying to get people to secure their own phones to start with.
