Holes are a consequence of tight clothing. Wear loose pants and you’ll never get holes - even with thin fabric. My last pair of slacks I bought at a thrift store for $5 and they were still good 5 years later.

I can’t imagine the blowback about censorship would be worth this. Censoring will just draw more attention and traffic. What’s really unsettling is that GitHub is playing politics with its users, without even informing them or communicating

Many companies that are open to investment, such as most publically traded companies, produce quarterly reports for shareholders. I think the reason you see this in SaaS is that it’s a marketing tactic. There’s an overlap between their cust

There’s no article, nothing new or technically interesting, nothing to even read. It’s a solicitation of anecdotes to be used by a news outlet. It’s clearly off topic according to HN guidelines: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would f

Yes, everyone understands that. Especially vegans. I really wouldn’t worry about one of the most obese countries in the entire world lacking for calories and protein.

No, it’s not creepy. Don’t broadcast stuff on a service that’s meant to solicit replies from random people if you don’t want replies from random people. The constant social media outrage media is tiring and melodramatic. It would be cool if

Why is this such a popular story ? There’s literally hundreds of new gTLDs and they get released all the time.

Yeah I find it hard to believe anyone eats literally 100% meat no exceptions. I’ll bet $1000 Jordan Pederson is full of shit when he claims he eats nothing but cooked beef.

The requirement for vitamin C is a fact of human biology, and established science. Either you’re getting it from your dairy or other dietary sources or eating enough meat that’s raw enough to get your minimum. My experience as a lactose per

Treat your business as if you were investing. Would you spend your hard earned $100k on a startup with no idea, no plan, and no exit strategy. And would you bank all of your life’s savings on it? The time to quit and do this is when you hav

If you mean logical paradox there can’t really be any because computer programs are necessarily logically consistent. See Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

Are the investors actually making Reddit censor or is this just the latest xenophobic rage bait? America sure loves its China/Russia scaremongering.

Speak for yourself. A payday loan was the only thing that bailed me out from missing rent and getting evicted. Payday loans are a lot less predatory than every major bank credit card. They at least ensure you have money to pay them back.

Are any of those issues comparable to cutting all the trees down? Fires and beatles and dead wood are natural.

Yes, obviously. The API is the same though. The interface.

If VCs don't pay you then they're VCs who don't understand how to take care of their investment. Part-time or full-time is a separate issue. Working for free or entirely for equity when there's money in the bank is a los

“Did partners get access to messages? Yes. But people had to explicitly sign in to Facebook first to use a partner’s messaging feature,” Konstantinos Papamiltiadis, director of developer platforms and programs at Facebook, wrote in the blog

No, they didn’t “give it away”. Please let’s stick to facts. The news is being extremely dishonest. Apps that you could send FB messages through could see the message (how else would it work?) And it was explicitly opt-in, users had to auth

Make medical imaging devices that can be used at home for low cost. MRIs, ultrasounds, xrays, etc would all need at-home or cheap replacements.

Yeah, they didn’t steal your data. They were negligent with storing data on you given to them by lenders, and if you can demonstrate you were actually damaged by their negligence you can join the class action that’s happening. You should ha

They don’t. It’s just part of the privacy and Facebook hysteria being pushed by the rage-machine that is the news cycle now.

Equifax is a credit reporting agency. So, for example, someone gets a loan from a bank, then fails to pay it and the bank reports that to them. Other lenders check with them before lending to people. You’re being disingenuous by equating th

I track conversion rate on all my sites without JS, for free, and without hitting a DB on each request. I just download my access logs and parse them with a 5 line script. I don’t see the point in tracking anything but conversion. I don’t n

Anti-trust isn’t equipped to deal with anything because it’s arbitrary and vague. “You’re too big because some bureaucrats said so” is not law. That’s not justice. It’s totalitarian. How can a company avoid breaking the law if they don’t k
