Morality of the death sentence aside, I think the underlying issue here is that this may also be a driver for killing people in the first place. For example, the presence of "re-education" camps was brought up again recently, in p

A few other advantages of working remotely, at least in my view: - less office politics - no forced socialization, sorry but I have absolutely no interest in your private life while I'm working, I want to get work done and be done at

Fusion 360, which looks like is what is being used in the article, has a free license as long as you're a hobbyist or your business makes less than $100000. Fusion 360 has its quirks, but it remains my favourite tool for this type of w

My partner and I are the proud owners of a Toyota Corolla CE 2003. We often joke about how it has to be the most nondescript car ever made. It has no extra features (with the exception of the CD/radio stereo perhaps), it just drives, r

There is "complex", and then there is "complicated", I believe the author refers to the latter. A complex solution involves a lot of moving parts, but each of these parts serves a specific purpose, such that it is possib

In Canada, also get a few of those every day, even though I barely ever give my number out. I noticed that some of those numbers are within the same area code as mine, but not the area I live in. I attempted to call some of these back on oc

Commenting on this while my 3D printer is making parts for my new 3D printer, with parts I designed from the comfort of my own home. 3D printing and the RepRap movement have managed to get me truly excited about something for the first time

Facebook recently started sending me notifications that somebody unknown was trying to log into my account, that they'd temporarily blocked it, and later re-enabled it. The emails actually come from Facebook, the problem is that the em

Hi, just wanted to say you've built something very nice! I just tried it out by re-making a fairly complex diagram and it took me like 10 minutes, including learning the syntax, very nice idea, done well! I did notice one annoying bug,

Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't work through PIA, they apparently aggressively block IP ranges from most major VPN providers, so the issue isn't specific to PIA. This is a bit of a "screw you" to privacy-conscious people,

Been using these guys for a few years now, best use of $40/yr. You'll occasionally get blocked on certain sites (which you can often fix by simply changing location), but their infrastructure is definitely impressive. I get to use

I attended an event called "We The City" in Vancouver last year where Teju Cole gave a talk. He was, in my opinion, a far more interesting speaker than the others. He's what I suppose I would refer to as a pragmatic artist, h

You have a point, I think the costs probably depend on a lot of factors, and I suppose a "lot of money" is relative. I expressed some of my frustrations in this rather long comment here [0]. I went through CEC, and in order to get

A few points I think are relevant: - I find leaving your country only because you didn't vote for the winner is rather cowardly, you can still do something about it, we're not quite talking systemic harassment yet... - as a frien

Boy do I miss the N900... Mine is sitting on my desk like a museum piece gathering dust, and it makes me sad that no modern phone has come remotely close to it. I used it as my main phone when travelling for years and it worked everywhere I

If I understand correctly, this is not "worldwide internet usage", but actually "page views", which I think is a fairly important distinction to make (at least for the people of HN I would imagine). I would personally be

Perhaps we could start by penalizing companies like HP that actively participate to this waste by producing stuff like their shitty disposable printers (where buying new cartridges can cost more than buying a whole new printer). Likewise, w

I think your point is very valid, but my own experience (average white male) suggests that it might not necessarily be true. I used to have really long hair, which I would generally leave untied when travelling (mostly for comfort reasons).

Hilarious article, until it hits a bit too close to home and you realize we're all part of the problem and there's probably nothing we can do to stop the hell train. Truth is, I've come to terms with the idea that this ridicu
