WarDores··on New captcha alternative to fight AI
If I saw this on a real website I would have to be physically restrained.
WarDores··on Ask HN: As a person, what can I do to improve a city?
OP did say "top 10 most dangerous cities in the US" and those studies usually don't count auto accidents.
WarDores··on Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack
Multiple folks on Twitter saying all verified accounts have been locked.
WarDores··on US Supreme Court rules DACA rescission was unlawful [pdf]
Not necessarily; that issue wasn't before the court.
WarDores··on U.S. Supreme Court to hear cases by telephone in May
Thank you for this explanation. There's a lot of misinformation that ultimately erodes trust in our institutions when it's not warranted.
WarDores··on Windows Subsystem for Linux is making inroads with developers
Has VPN support gotten better in the last 8 months-ish? I keep dual booting mostly because managing the configuration turned into a nightmare.
WarDores··on Mysterious startup Shadow under scrutiny after Iowa caucus meltdown
"Scale" in this case is 1,681 precincts, each with a handful of users (the election officials). I'm not sure that was the issue in this case.
WarDores··on Ask HN: Ultrawide monitors, what's your experience been like?
I switched to an ultrawide and i3 window manager at the same time, and it's been a game changer. I can't imagine going back to two side-by-side monitors. Being able to resize windows and not be restricted by the screen boundary is the real game changer for me.
WarDores··on Boeing 737 Down After Taking Off from Tehran
The flight information on FlightRadar24 shows no sign of deviation or trouble, then abruptly ends during the ascent. https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/ukrainian-flight-ps752-cr...
WarDores··on Boeing 737 Down After Taking Off from Tehran
Yeah, the publicly available flight information shows it basically exploded wholesale in mid-air. That doesn't just happen with modern aircraft.
WarDores··on Work Shorter Hours in Winter
I'd love to see the source for this. I'm interested in early labor arrangements.
WarDores··on Facebook Pledges $130M to Fund “Supreme Court” for Content
That's exactly what this is. They're trying to avoid regulation of any kind, and "third party audits" are historically a good way to keep the federal government out of your hair for at least a measurable period of time. The financial industry learned this quickly.
WarDores··on So You Think You Want to Open a Brewery (2014)
In the SLC area, but if I get up that way I'll take you up on that.
WarDores··on So You Think You Want to Open a Brewery (2014)
I'd love to hear more about this. I've thought a lot about this space, given that the business side is what seems to trip a lot of these enterprises up. And the business is connected with trends, COGS, seasonality, etc., the same as others in the space. There just aren't targeted ways of tracking/measuring these specific to the beer industry.
WarDores··on California car burglaries are at crisis levels
The right to steal unimpeded?
WarDores··on Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong
The hard part is international collaboration. Getting China and India on board has been a non-starter so far, and they're far and away the largest contributors.
WarDores··on Psilocybin for major depression granted Breakthrough Therapy by FDA
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Apparently the HN crowd is all-in on "the drugs I already enjoy/want to enjoy have scientific backing" even if they're being presented as a cure-all that should warrant skepticism. I also think that maybe looking at environmental factors for depression is common sense. Instead of drugging everyone, maybe we should take a look at how society is structured and make some changes there. It's not either-or.
WarDores··on Ableton Connection Kit (2016)
I love the Keylab. I mostly got it for the keybed which is best in class for that price point. The DAW controls are a nice added bonus, but the piano feel is great.
WarDores··on Ableton Connection Kit (2016)
I've got a Lite key if you want to give it a shot. I have Suite already so I won't use it.
WarDores··on Ableton Connection Kit (2016)
The Push is a game changer. It really makes Ableton feel like an instrument rather than a DAW. My current setup is an 88 key MIDI controller (Arturia Keylab) with the Push sitting on top of it. For jams/playing for relaxation I don't have to look at my screen at all.
WarDores··on Netflix, HBO and Cable Giants Are Coming for Password Sharers
Sell the movie AND give me download options that don't amount to just a license you can revoke at any time, and then we're talking.
WarDores··on We Need to Talk About Peat
> So not only is the earth going to gradually become hostile to humans, it's going to happen with dwindling stocks of good scotch

But you repeat yourself

WarDores··on Over a Third of Americans Battle Job Burnout Every Single Week
I'd like to see a source for "It is already economically viable...". Maybe at current levels of production, but you can't just assume current levels of output in every sector while removing incentives.
WarDores··on The Kindle is fine, but could’ve been much more
Exactly, it was this quote

> For all I love about it, it seems unlikely to ever progress beyond its current role as a pleasant book reader largely disconnected from all other sources of content.

that summed it up for me. That's all I want. I want it to be disconnected from all other sources of content. I don't want to be interrupted with a notification saying that x website uploaded a new article or whatever.

WarDores··on The benefits of a more asynchronous workplace
I think this is the key. I'm not sure "forced interaction" is the answer for everyone. I work remotely and spent yesterday morning for 2 hours just chatting with some folks at a coffee shop I regularly work out of over some common interests. That filled my "meaningful interaction" bucket more than 2 or 3 days of office work in my previous office'd life. My 2 cents as well.
WarDores··on 5G Mobile Networks: A Systems Approach
I think the main concern comes from the mM-wave frequencies from what I've read. The others are more of the same, but a lot of what I've seen--and I can't remember where at the moment--focused exclusively on the high frequency nodes that would (theoretically) be deployed in urban areas.
WarDores··on Show HN: A Socialist Social Network
Someone else was supposed to pick up the bandwidth tab.
WarDores··on In the Pancreas, Common Fungi May Drive Cancer
RBG is still alive...
WarDores··on The Spinner
Keep in mind that large companies are already using the surveillance and advertising complex to influence behavior, and have been for years. This just puts it in the hands of anyone with $50 to spend.
WarDores··on Thomas Cook collapses, stranding 150k UK holidaymakers
Anyone interested in the "creating money" aspect of banks should definitely read a paper called "The Monetary Basis of Bank Supervision" (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3421232).
