Wait, you mean that policing shouldn't be a revenue generating activity? What a radical concept!

Count me in that list! This is fantastic, and is likely to help push me over the edge to using tmux by default on my local workstation.

They are-- until you lobby the FCC to change those regulations. Part 15 is very clear on this.

I feel like I'm in the minority here; even my dotfiles live in separate repositories, managed by vcsh (https://www.github.com/richih/vcsh).

This type of comment isn't helpful.

I still occasionally see people refer to companies with thousands of employees (including some that have gone public) as "startups."

The term is being diluted...

Or, just as bad: they pull a Reader and sunset the service in 4 years once you've stuffed all of your photos into it.

My faith in Google's ability / willingness to support these types of projects long term is minimal at best.

I look forward to Google shutting this project down in 1-5 years.

Systemd is probably the most polarizing change I've seen come to Linux in recent memory.

Amazingly well said.

OP: Eventually the narrative will shift to "I was young and stupid, and it was a long time ago," which is exactly what you want. By continuing to defend what you did, you're actively delaying the time until you can begin using that line. Frankly, whether you believe you're right or not is beside the point; no hiring manager is going to care, and your current attitude towards it presents as toxic.

This quote was written on the wall of a company that did nothing other than send spam on behalf of anyone who would pay them. The irony was palpable.

There's rmtrash, which is in Homebrew.

Quite; "pay me to learn technology X" is always going to be a tough sell unless you're bringing another skillset to a problem.

It's somewhat interesting to me that articles like this make no mention of services such as AdBlock.

...then again, cnet does get by on advertising dollars.

Right, can I opt out of that fee? There's a link to a new axe design trending on HN at the moment; how about I buy one of those and bring it with me to guarantee my own safety and opt out of that dollar fee?

Line-iteming a fee feels like it opens it up to negotiation.

It seems somewhat surprising to me that Airbnb, which doesn't own a single property, is somehow worth more than the entire Hyatt chain, which owns more than 500 properties and employs 75,000 people. I guess I just don't understand how valuations work...

I agree. I'm a fan of "the price is the price," with all of the various overhead expenditures being factored into that price. There's not a line item for their app developers, nor a charge for their server hosting...

You won't come to the party? Okay, see you...

Fair question. Time to rotate my bank passwords too...

Just deleted my Mint account; if they're not going to be transparent around this, I flat out can't trust them with my financial information.

Oh, I proudly display it on mine. After the first few years of it I realized I was much, much happier as a consultant-- and that mobility was better than stagnation. "Sure, I'll be gone in a year or two, but by then it'll get boring and I'll have fixed the interesting problems."
