And then you would see a mass exodus of users..
Allower··on Coinbase offers exit package for employees not comfortable with its mission
If you don't know how to separate social issues from politics, well shit, that's the whole problem isn't it. Figure it out or continue being a moron dragging civilization back into the dark ages.
Allower··on SpaceX test flight of Starship SN-5 [video]
Sounds cool, but I value my sleep ;-)
Allower··on The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2
Obviously buying masks is discouraged because there is a shortage and hospitals have a much greater need for them than an uninfected person living in location as of yet untouched by the virus. Its about priorities.
Allower··on World Economy Shudders as Coronavirus Threatens Global Supply Chains
1-2 weeks? That seems dangerously optimistic to me.
Allower··on Bosch Smart glasses: A tiny laser array paints images directly onto your retina
How about you actually quote it?!

Allower··on Problems with TypeScript
You don't refactor your code? Fix bugs months after development? I suppose you aren't the target audience..
Allower··on L.A. temporarily suspends Uber’s permit to rent out electric scooters and bikes
>Surely trusting the government is a more reasonable policy?

Somebody clearly didn't learn anything about history..

Allower··on Static TypeScript: A Static Compiler for the TypeScript Language
Well I mean that is the point of abstraction.. if we always had to have our heads at the lowest level we would not be productive what-so-ever.
Allower··on Facebook scans system libraries on Android and uploads them to their server
Seems like people assume FB employees are 'gifted' they are technically capable, and emotionally and philosophically infantile.
Allower··on Google's Project Dragonfly 'Terminated' in China
Do you not realize that hundreds of millions of people deserve better than an authoritarian government? If you indeed want a better life for these people, censorship is something you must fight, not acquiesce to.
Allower··on The New 30-Something
At salaried level people aren't doing things that have hard time constraints. when you are delivering pizzas or working as a cashier your punctuality matters a hell of a lot more, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, which is why if you fuck up once you're fired, it was literally the one thing they told you not to fuck up.

Of course there are extenuating circumstances, and managers should be more relaxed with people who make an effort (e.g. texting ahead that they are running x minutes late). But the vast majority of cases are not like this. Its people making stupid choices and suffering the consequences, I don't have much sympathy for that.

Allower··on Rising Rents Are Pushing More Tenants Past the Breaking Point
Renting is a service, of course they don't produce anything. If they weren't providing a service people found valuable (i.e. improving their general welfare) much fewer people would be renting.
Allower··on Streama – A self-hosted streaming application with your own media library
Plex doesn't manage your media, it just presents it and makes it accessible, if you want media managers look at Sonarr (https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr) and Radarr (https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr)
Allower··on Unfortunately, we have renewed our ICANN accreditation
The problem is the WAP doesn't even achieve this goal, it is easily circumvented..
Allower··on Apple Debuts New 15-Inch MacBook Pro and $1,999 27-Inch Retina iMac
Thanks for posting this. This is not an upgrade, this is the same old crap from two years ago with a little more polish
Allower··on Artificial Sweeteners May Change Our Gut Bacteria in Dangerous Ways
No Fucking Shit
Allower··on UK-US surveillance regime was unlawful ‘for seven years’
Terrible and completely misleading headline. The court ruled that the SHARING of surveillance data with NSA was unlawful until this past December. Its another meaningless verdict that effectively supports the gross invasion of individual privacy while claiming to oppose it.
Allower··on Ask HN: How do people with successful careers play the game?
Wow, i thought that was common sense..
Allower··on Cornell to Digitize a Rich Hip Hop Archive
There aren't many forms of music I cannot listen to, but Hip Hop is one of them. Can't really call it music to be honest, its just agony to listen to, nothing to feel good about, mindless unintelligible lyrics, caustic sounds, and 'singers' who can't sing to save their life (no autotune does not make you sound any better!).
Allower··on Before the Startup
"the checks & balances plus the peer review system for worldwide recognised published research kill and destroy bullshitters"

if only this was true!!

Allower··on Apple – Privacy – Government Information Requests
But its something the NSA is more than capable of accomplishing
Allower··on Male Scent May Compromise Biomedical Research
We can only account for variables we can imagine, this is why science is so often proving itself wrong.
Allower··on Gun – Distributed, embedded graph engine
I have been looking for something just like this! Fantastic
Allower··on "OpenSSL has exploit mitigation countermeasures to make sure it's exploitable"
What would evidence of conspiracy look like? Do we need comments in the code, "this is an NSA back door...", seriously?

>You have to be backwords compatible

we have been making this trade off for years and it wont get any easier in the future, its about time we started a fresh initiative that doesn't make backwords compatibility a priority, except of course in the sense of maintainability moving forward.

Allower··on Coinbase user emails and full names leaked
I think you meant to say :

"This is the bullshit excuse they are trying to use to make it SEEM like its not a vulnerability."

Coinbase is deliberately misleading their users regarding privacy if they do not fix this issue!

Allower··on Coinbase user emails and full names leaked
You are a fucking dick for ignoring that guy..just saying
Allower··on Basecamp was under network attack
Yet another reason we should be utilizing P2P WAY more often
Allower··on Setting the record straight
The whatsApp team is disrespecting their users and their users' intelligence. To continue misleading/outright lying to their users is horrific in my opinion.
Allower··on Setting the record straight
How dare you spout such obvious tripe?! You have no say anymore, STFU and stop misleading people!
