Allegedly the most recent owners have reversed the earlier policies and are trying to reclaim SourceForge's previous sterling reputation, FYI. Seems reasonably credible. That said, I'm one of those people who bothers to check the

Though that seems to be how the sentence is actually parsed, it seems odd that that would be true. That indicates that every toxic player worked there, and some of the horrible people who worked there were actually not horrible in the conte

Bit OT but does this count as a garden path sentence? I originally parsed it like: - "The leaky bucket of Indian food" - a leaking bucket of Indian food - "The leaky bucket of Indian food delivery" - a metaphorical leaky

I think this is the first time I've thought it would be useful to have a device like the ill-fated Coin. Not that I keep money on prepaid cards, but if I did, it would be nice to back up my cards at home so that if stopped by the polic

I don't totally understand how this is not a violation of one's free speech if ideas are being banned. I can see where they get the power to prevent the patent from issuing, but what part of the constitution allows you to ban a pr

Is there anything that blocks these modal dialogs on mobile? I absolutely hate these things, but they don't seem to be blocked by uBlock.

Preventing people from getting inexpensive foreign goods seems like a terrible way to increase the amount of wealth those people have, in my opinion.

Even if mathematicians were literally or figuratively stunned by the headline, it's a clickbait headline because it gives you no information about the content of the article, while trying to entice you to click through and read it wi

Just because someone doesn't have to give it to you doesn't mean it's a good idea for those people to restrict it.

I agree, I don't see why it shouldn't be similar to almost every other linux distro where most critical security updates are in modular packages. Frankly, I actually want the feature upgrade, but I certainly don't want to b

I'm not sure I understand, those stories don't seem to bolster your point - a few of them are one-time events (Steve Jobs' death), and most of them are still ongoing concerns - hackers, facebook, etc. I probably agree that 5

I'm pretty sure most of Wikipedia editing is automated (by volume), see, e.g. ClueBot. That said, if you don't get consensus to make such bulk changes, it will probably not go over well.

You can attach a supplemental battery pack to any phone, but many normal phones (such as every phone I've ever owned) have replaceable batteries. It seems hard to believe that if you're going to make a phone specifically touted as

They couldn't even make the battery removable? That's pretty weak for something touted as a modular phone.

According to Wikipedia, Sentinelese is apparently (based on other encounters) ,not mutually intelligible with Onge, which does seem to be an inconsistency in the idea that she heard them asking for coconuts in Onge.

According to the current Wikipedia article on the Sentinelese language [1], it is not mutually intelligible with Onge. This is more like what I would have expected from a strictly xenophobic and (presumably non-literate) tribe, but it doesn

I must say, this kind of thing is what keeps me coming to HN. It's very refreshing to see actual anti clickbait policies on link aggregators.
