Fortunately, you can do both. Diversity is, on it's own, something that's been shown to improve decision making proficiency. You should read the article, it does a very good job of outlining exactly how conclusive this finding is.

SSH is a protocol, not an implementation, all your complaints are just engineering problems.

I'm playing the odds, and using my judgement. Combined, this submission is most certainly not what PG had in mind when he founded HN. I could be wrong, but I don't see how.

Other than your idea about the path forward, I completely agree. I too am exhausted by the EFF's constant "the sky is falling" attitude. Their strategy probably works for funding reasons, but I wish a more moderate voice wou

Politics is off topic, that's clear to anyone who reads the rules. Don't make this about you or me, that's pointless and small. That I'm human and capable of making mistakes doesn't mean what I just said is wrong n

What grandparent post is failing to understand is that we're part of the process. Our outrage was anticipated, and the system expects us to cry out when a bad law gets proposed.

Nope, this is not up for interpretation. It literally says, "politics is off-topic" in what you quoted.

This is super duper off-topic for HN...

Linux has never been very good for standard desktop use in the form presented by OS X and Windows. It's still a hobby OS, where your computer itself must become your hobby, rather than whatever it is you want to do on the computer.

I actually do wonder how many people refrained from using this mailing list because of the underwear color requirement, because I honestly suspect it to be literally zero, and would be fascinated by any other answer.

But all things are most certainly not going to be equal, least of all cost and availability.

I explain in greater detail the problems with the original comment in another comment, if you're interested in something more than verbal sniping. It's simply not true that I must be able to provide the correct answer in order to

I elaborate somewhat on each of those statements in another comment. Criticism of false "expert" advice is critically important for HN.

Here are the reasons why I don't believe you should have written your comment: * You falsely (implicitly) assert expertise on a topic (nutrition) to which you've had no actual training. * You believe "just a comment on HN&quo

I didn't say you were implying anything, what I said was I find it astounding how little actual data you seem to have collected, compared to the sweeping conclusions you're drawing. I take issue with your condescending tone, becau

What blows my mind is that someone like you can see a sample size of one (you), pull like 15 different levers, and then proceed to "know" which of the levers actually worked, and which levers would work for everyone else . The so

I mean... you literally can't legislate crypto, can you? Could someone explain what this would look like, in a practical sense? Would self-signed keys become illegal, and all PKI would have to have a "government" parent key

Yes, the USSR and the US had/have central banks. Yes, "degree of control" is not at question, it's the "degree" itself that's at question. The USSR had a much higher degree of central planning for the U

Socialism in the USSR was actual socialism (the government owned the companies, dictated exact salaries, completely regulated supply, etc), whereas in the US the government goes through all kinds of steps to determine which private company

Some of the "socialist" programs the US has? Sure. I'm guessing you don't know the difference between a US "socialist" program and the "USSR" kind of socialist, though.

And I welcome them with open arms, as do a majority of the rest of the citizens of the US. My only reservation is that I don't personally think they're being treated well enough. Anyone who comes to the US with plans to make a lif

I have absolutely zero evidence for this, but I'd bet large sums of lint from my pocket that this article was discussed by a Facebook PR person and an EFF person. It's the kind of thing that happens all the time in the industry, b

But it does give a judge something to point at and be like, "Why couldn't you do it here (in a different situation) like you did over there (this situation)?" Not much, admittedly, but it's something.
