There was never a "Blackberry Razor" product. There was the Motorola RAZR phone that was just a flip phone that was very popular for a few years before the iPhone, and then there were Blackberry phones of the time which had small

You’re showing a lot of faith that they will interpret the results fairly and act on them. The auto play video while browsing is pretty universally reviled and they haven’t turned that off.

A restaurant near me started serving impossible burgers a couple weeks ago. Since I have gout I am always trying beef and pork replacements. Impossible burger’s patty is on par with a McDonald’s quarter pounder. Which is a reasonable accomp

Nearly wiping out the bison was not a prerequisite to the US becoming self sufficient. Nor is destroying their natural areas a prerequisite for developing nations. Additionally you’re presenting a false dichotomy of either we hold back deve

What the hell do you mean "surveys"? You don't need "surveys" to tell you how many violent crimes there are in a year. We have actual statistics. And the numbers are not in the millions. Stop pushing lies.

Hahaha uhh no. Not even remotely. This is completely pulled out of your ass. First of all the CDC has been banned from studying guns since GW Bush administration. Secondly deaths by homicide in the US aren’t even close to that. California h

Freedom of speech is about censorship from the government. As much as Silicon Valley companies love to self aggrandize they are not the government and are under no obligation to allow their platforms to be used for furthering hate speech (o

So what's the solution? If a big company opens a factory in an area, then the hire a bunch of people at that factory, people obviously want to move closer to where work is. It's not like those people can then say "Hey we need

In the US a lot of companies just don’t have the bandwidth to hire someone straight out of university. A degree is great but 10 out of 10 times I would rather have someone with four years of experience doing the work we are doing than someo

Craigslist isn’t the place to go for jobs. Lots of people are looking for PHP developers. There’s job counseling services out there, go talk to a professional who specializes in cases like yours. Don’t listen to a bunch of HNers who have ze

$4B? That's insanity. I know it's a dead horse but valuations are totally detached from reality.

Kroger bought out a local chain here in Michigan (Hiller’s) that was way better than Kroger and then laid off the Hiller’s employees and killed the chain. I’m never gonna feel any sympathy for Kroger.

Nobody bothers to decouple them because usually rendering a terminal is trivial and the output rate isn’t as fast for most use cases. But it sounds like if you’ve done it before it might be a cool thing to contribute to your preferred open

I’m not talking about your home computer. Obviously your home computer shouldn’t have ssh exposed to the world on any port. I’m talking about a server that needs to have ssh available. And I would argue while all the options you bring up ar

Yes there are, but moving your SSH port is a low cost, very easy and effective way of doing it.

by ebbv 8y ago
Well, first off, you probably should change your SSH port. Using a non-default one will cause most automated attacks to move on to something else. Second, using numbers is far more memory/bandwidth efficient than using strings for port

Apple has always commanded a premium for their laptops. Yes there’s competing specs out there for less but there always have been. I paid $3k for my Retina MBP in 2012 and it still works great for me today. It was a good buy for me. If the

Isn’t kinda the point of her statement that she isn’t unidentified? She was made famous by somebody else without her knowledge and consent. When a production crew wants to use footage of you in a show they have to get you to sign a release.

Waiting to find your passion is a dead end. But seeking out what you're really interested in and enjoy, and making that your career is great advice. Maybe you don't know what you love yet, that's fine, go figure it out. I&#

This smacks to me of an "If you have nothing to hide why do you care about your privacy?" argument. Which we should all know is a major fallacy. There's plenty of reasons to not want others looking over your shoulder that hav

Of the people who aren't just straight up trolling, I think a large percent just like to be "controversial" and hold contrarian views that might blow somebody's mind. The Flat Earth nonsense is a pretty low stakes one fo

Why do we as developers feel a need to constantly trash the things we don't like? If you don't like something, don't use it. Talk about the things you do like instead.
