That is an absolute bombshell of a story and I'd guess that the vast majority of people have never heard of it but would be horrified if they did. It sounds like they even blackmailed the people.

Do you have any recommendations for gloves that dampen vibrations for bikers and are comfortable? Would something like Olympia motorcycle gloves with gel in them be a good choice? You mention you have a lot of gloves - what are they all use

But the article doesn't actually say that at all... It explicitly says the US didn't build such a capability in space.

This is so cool! Erik, would you mind posting some more pictures of your container office? It looks very Ex Machina like from the picture and I'd love to see more and maybe even learn how you did what you did with it if possible.

They are also arguing that since they have given up on security and assume they are fully compromised everyone else should give up as well and just buy more of these devices for their homes.

Where in the law is it required that the government must offer due process in relation to contractual business deals with corporations? Is 'due process' even the correct term for that type of thing? You seem to be conflating the

Yep, I'll just grab that from the CIA, NSA, FBI, and Australian Intelligence services for you. Should I assume you want it by today? This might be the most absurd and rude statement all in one that I've seen on HN before. You&#x27

Yes, people and organizations have come forward and said they have evidence. It's a simple google search away. You, similar to the OP, seem to be ignoring all of the many warnings from many organizations. If you think that intelligenc

You're stating that they're being singled out for just doing business and that businesses are just afraid of losing money. You seem to be ignoring the trade secret theft, IP theft, multiple intelligence agencies investigating them

That is wild. I've never heard of anything like that before with cars.

Where are you getting that people who own a Tesla sometimes are very generous and let strangers test drive their cars? I can't imagine a scenario where anyone would go for that given how expensive they are and how that kind of thing j

And there's also no reason to think this is the only thing they'll do. I don't think it takes a majority of 130,000 to setup a deal like this but more than likely some people in finance and some people in legal while on the t

How did you get that it is their main initiative for this year from this article? They have ~130,000 employees, so are you implying that a majority of 130,000 people are working on this main initiative over other things? I'll be the fi

Agreed, it would have to be phased in/out over time in a very smart way to not crush businesses and accountants. Doable perhaps over a long span of time if everyone agrees to it but man would it be a longshot. I'd imagine it would

Just so you know the poverty line is $12k-$15k for single people and $25k-$31k for a family of 4.

Their idea has merit whether they've entered the work force or not. And, they could be anything that relates to students and yet not a student, like a teacher. I wouldn't infer much if anything from usernames... else you might ass

Or... you tax people that are rich more and it seems to solve your problem. Wiping the slate clean and starting tax law from scratch is not going to happen. It would cripple the economy and would affect every business and many people.

That massively massively penalizes people who are more poor or middle class vs someone that has millions or billions. 30% of a million is 333k, but 30% of 31k is 10.3k. I imagine losing that 10.3k hurts the 30k person far more than losing t

The man is definitely not in the running for a 'tough son-of-a-bitch.' He has previously circled photos of his hands and sent them to people to prove how big his hands are. He bragged about his penis size at a debate. Just recentl

The dossier has been almost entirely corroborated across the board. No parts of it have been proven incorrect so far. Do you have any evidence that any parts of it have been shot down as not factual? Calling it the 'uncorroborated Stee

Do you have evidence of specific competence at something?

It explicitly does not follow that Tesla HR did anything inappropriate or wrong because the wife of this man went on twitter. There's literally no evidence to show that.

I don't think what you're saying changes what I said at all. $200 is still a large amount of money for people, even if other trades force their employees to buy their tools. I don't see how that changes anything.

Is rendering the right word here? It doesn't feel like it is to me. I thought rendering was the final step in taking a DOM and turning it into something that is shown on the screen. Basically, the job of the browser. Based on your logi

Yeah, it is completely missing me how web application dependency libraries relate in any way to an IDE for building applications. I don't get this argument and it doesn't seem to me like it makes sense. Perhaps I'm wrong and

Yes, for some $200 is still a very non-trivial amount of money to spend on something. If your situation makes this a no-brainer for you, you're in a better spot than many that make 6 figures.

Hey stevev I know it's been a bit since you made this comment but could you provide further details on the tool and the benefits you found from the switch? I'm currently on Aurora MySQL and have hundreds of GB and am feeling it in

It's interesting that the OP is only responding to positive/glowing comments and ignoring the others even though some of the positive ones are the newest out of all the comments. Doesn't instill a lot of confidence in my opin

America is constantly targeted by their enemies, much like every country on earth. They don't kick back and take breaks when it comes to state-sponsored intelligence work. There has been real evidence of that going back forever. Are y

Really? For the most part, the government is pretty functional at all levels and while costs generally rise it seems like they do less so than compared to the privatized version. I'm sure there are many cases where they do a bad job an
