No idiot, nor the author I suspect, believes that. The author probably exaggerated the total risk to people living under authoritarian regimes. I think his inspiration from the article can be seen in this statement: "Erdogan’s Turkey –

Did other people reach the same conclusion: that it would be good to have a stronger Federal government that can take over states' rights? I agree that California is bad for remote hiring, and I believe that this is a novel competitive

Hiring in California is expensive and burdensome. Further, I think California is pretty sophisticated in its remote-business tax-hunting capability. That does make it a relatively bad target for hiring remote employees in a global-competiti

It says none of that. At worst, it is incomplete as an instruction manual, but it's a fine list of starting principles for thinking about humans doing work.

You are precisely right. And laptop marketing focuses primarily on CPU speed, which is an error. It drives running CPUs at speeds that create non-linear heat/power graphs without much consideration to total system performance.

I do not like the feeling that free speech, free software, free markets, and entrepreneurial business are under existential threat, but I think it is ignorant to think otherwise.

Sidebar: do you have an opinion about which ThinkPad series currently has the best material quality, disregarding weight as a factor of such quality?

This is unreasonably dismissive.

You are right. It begs for a persistent, searchable list of such known violations along with the publicly traded entity name (e.g. Sony) and list of division heads (e.g.Shunsuke Muramatsu) that may have held relevant executive positions at

You have a loosely defined term: "bad." It suggests "inaccurate" but perhaps you mean "unkind." In either case, you assert "Krebs was wrong" a couple times but you skirt the topic of the twitter threa

Agreed. I liked 1Password a lot more when it was not subscription-based. The client is worse, the reliability is worse, the subscription is painful. The value is not there. But it's a password manager and I use it. Perhaps I will bothe

My sincere admiration for the author's strength in the face of this terrible hardship. A person can also avoid cancer by choosing a career that is not cancer-inducing. Given the author's cabin crew history: 3.4% of female fl

"The claims mentioned in the relevant reports are speculations without any basis, and are intended to blame-shift and smear China," said Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington. Blame-shift from whom? Who els

I salute your bravery, kidnapped contractors. I would rather a bunch of Ericsson contractors get kidnapped and ransomed, and local evil terrorist goons bribed by Ericsson (a greed-driven, evil telcom), and then have local Ericsson towers in

It depends on how you define "most of the world." By country count, in most of the world (>50%), there is not a notion of "stealing source code." There are notions of stealing cattle and pottery. But legal frameworks

Agreed. Closing with "Law enforcement has been notified" doubles-down on "we published everything but maybe if we can get somebody charged for a bogus crime then we won't look so stupid."

The only "toxic" thing I've seen on HN this week is an article with panders exclusively to HN by attacking HN for toxicity. Faux controversy, faux outrage, and bland terms of abuse broadly applied to entire communities are th
