What is valuable to one person may not be to another. Does that make it a scam? Most people are adamant that gold is a fundamental unit of value, and yet it's paper value (by volume) is 10x the real thing¹. Does that make gold a scam?

Although I agree heartily with the idea of a push model for search engines, I can't help but notice that it seems to provide more centralisation to the search engines out there. Here on HN we've been seeing posts of alternate sear

It definitely gets a bit murky when dealing with mbcs, when you want characters spanning multiple bytes rather than individual bytes. I understand the topic is strXxx() funcs which are ascii only, but it does need to be said that size!=len

Why should people have to buy extra services for a non free piece of hardware just to remain ad free on that hardware? Apple is double dipping here (probably triple dipping if you also include AppStore fees and charges). People want to be a

DNS support is no where near Unicode. At best we get local language support for non-ASCII domains, but everyone else will see it as punycode. Of course, phishing is one good reason why it's this. > Internationalized domain names ar

As much as I'd like torrents to be more tolerated, there is a difference in that the torrent sites contain the .torrent files which contains all the necessary info to download files. ie, They're supplying more than just a link.

I was thinking of the twitter breach - just mention CF in your tweets or profile and become a target. It should be a simple matter for CF to figure out which is the case. It would be nice to know if CF customers were also targeted.

I've been a long time away from CPU architecture, but isn't it time that instructions are added that target the caches so that they only fetch the size of the data allocated? That way there's no leaking of errant memory? Or d
