Cheap shot, but I'll take it. All 14 days of 2018? :)

How does this tie into post-scarcity?

This is amazing. I thought I was efficient at using my browser, but I clearly have ground to cover. Thank you!

The Cuban regime is despicable, but I don't see what they have to gain by targeting diplomats -- particularly US diplomats. I'm inclined to believe the theory that the damage is inadvertent.

I stand corrected!

It's probably in a Facebook iframe, which is a different story.

If you don't mind wearing a big fitness tracker, the Fitbit Blaze has been great in my experience. It's a bit old now, and the new bigger fitbits are the Surge and the Charge 2, but I still love my Blaze.

What is the purpose of the parent comment? To score a point? To show us all the commenter is smarter than the vulgus? It passes the "gratuitous negativity" test to me. The same point could have been made without the condescension.

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. The biggest reason I watch AvE is for his hilarious delivery. You and I can disagree of course. I'm not finding issue with your opinion -- just offering mine. I should also mention I&#x

State laws and regulations still apply, no matter who's president. Also, the federal government has faced resistance from citizens and states and lost legal battles. The current political climate is extraordinary, but to say that stand

Hah. Yeah, it's quite the spectacle. I've gotten used to AvE's unboxing by now and in fact look forward to it, but I remember it being jarring the first few times.

AvE also did a teardown. It's 40 minutes long, and evidently I watched the whole thing according to YouTube. https://youtu.be/_Cp-BGQfpHQ

Good observation. If you're wrong, you suffer a brief moment of embarrassment. If you're right, you might prevent a disaster. Speaking up is a no-brainer.

You can ask and claim whatever you want. That was never in question. What I do question is whether you're serious or just trying to bait a response. As for the moral premise you're presuming I hold, please spare me your intellectu

What an ugly thought. I don't know where to begin addressing you. First, why must we help the oppressed when their local oppressors aren't concerned? Is this what you're asking? You can't possibly be serious. Second, jus

The contempt for users. I know what I do when a user files a real bug: respond to them, acknowledge it's a problem, tell them when it's fixed. The fact that Intel does not do that with a bug of this magnitude shows how much respec

The issue was being investigated by the OCaml community since 2017-01-06, with reports of malfunctions going at least as far back as Q2 2016. It was narrowed down to Skylake with hyper-threading, which is a strong indicative of

1. This is not mutilation. Skin is naturally shed and replaced. It is clear the author took care to protect his body. 2. Yes, they will probably be unique but it is not likely that someone's natural prints look like your sanded prints.

That last bit of your comment was completely unnecessary.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach for measuring competence. Different companies and different teams have different dynamics. What makes sense for your team and the things you work on can be very different from mine. The tools and proce

This is the sourced post http://blog.checkpoint.com/2017/05/23/hacked-in-translation/ The ingenuity that goes into RCE exploits never ceases to amaze (and terrify) me. Can't wait for more details to

That's a disingenuous claim. Planes have big engines and can generate a great deal of lift. That means their fuel can be housed inside safe tanks of metal. An airship needs to have thin lining around its lifting gas in order to fly. On

The real problem is that you're trusting binaries you find on disparate websites. If you want to avoid these sorts of compromises, use a package manager or check the hash of the downloaded file against one that you trust.

Google Drive is only free for three years? That's news to me. I'm quite certain I've been a user for 4+ years (since its release). I don't own a Chromebook though. Maybe that would change things.

Can't say I disagree with the sentiment, but you can communicate the same thing while maintaining civility.

The license in the LICENSE file looks like BSD 2.0. The proprietary license you mention is only in the Windows installer (according a quick grep) ... but it's still legally murky in my uneducated opinion. Anyway, license notwithstandin
