amgin3··on Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species [video]
They really need to screen people for the Q/A. Half these people are idiots just trying to promote their own BS and trying to tell stupid irrelevant stories.
amgin3··on Coding Challenge for MI5
"As I read, numbers I see. 'Twould be a shame not to count this art among the great texts of our time"

Only took about 5 seconds to find.

amgin3··on 16-year-old British girl earns £48,000 helping Chinese people name their babies
Maybe, but I know in Vietnam, all citizens are required by law to have a traditional Vietnamese name.
amgin3··on The target=“_blank” vulnerability by example
Most organizations don't see this as a valid vulnerability. If you read terms of most bug bounty programs, they almost always specify that window.opener is out of scope.
amgin3··on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
I'm not seeing this windows feature in the options.. is it not available on Windows 10 Home?
amgin3··on Vitter's reservoir sampling algorithm D: randomly selecting unique items
> generate a list of random tweets, without duplication.

Considering there are somewhere over 1 trillion tweets (over 200 billion/year), this is a very easy problem, you do not even have to check for duplicates because the chance of getting a duplicate is so small it would be statistically unlikely to ever happen.

amgin3··on Show HN: Security Training for Developers
seems like it only explains the very basics that anyone who has been a developer for at least a year would already know.
amgin3··on Intermittent Fasting Is Gaining Acceptance
I've been doing this for years, not because I want to, but because I'm too poor not to.
amgin3··on Which Occupations Are Priced Out of Homeownership?
If you live in Vancouver, every occupation is priced out except maybe CEO.
amgin3··on Stripe Atlas
Belize, Nevis, British Virgin Islands are all places you can incorporate for little cost and no taxes, there are many online services that will set it up for you just like Stripe is doing in the US. With a corp in one of these countries, you can then open a bank account in Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. where there is no oversight on your account so you are free to do what you want.
amgin3··on Stripe Atlas
Is there really a market for this? Why would anyone outside the US want to open a US company when you can just as easily open a company and bank account in a tax-free country with little/no oversight?
amgin3··on Why are submarines demagnetized?
The obvious answer is so that nobody catches a submarine while magnet fishing.
amgin3··on Traveling from China to Europe on a cargo ship
This is a journey strictly for trust-fund kiddies and other rich people, costs about $160USD/day for a bed on this boat, so she paid around $4,500 for her 27-day trip just counting accommodation.
amgin3··on Ask HN: What is wrong with me?
You are not alone. I am 30 and have experienced the same thing my entire life. Several years ago I questioned it too and was told that it was MY fault for not initiating conversations with people all the time, even though nobody ever has put the effort into initiating a conversation with me, I always just get ignored, somehow I have to put in all the effort and everyone else gets a free pass. But even when I put in a lot of effort nobody gives a shit and eventually flakes out because we haven't been friends since kindergarten like the rest of their friends have been. Well, I finally had enough of this bullshit life and flakey bullshit people; I got rid of all my belongings and moved to South East Asia.

>It's time you circumvented the world by train and boat.

I think the word you are looking for is circumnavigate. lol.

amgin3··on Google AdSense leak?
Furthermore, How do we know Matt_Cutts is even telling us the truth here? Not saying he is lying, but as he is a high ranking Googler, I doubt he would risk his career to confirm such a huge leak about his employer. It could very well be that Google has tasked him to deny any such information that could damage Google's reputation. Simply put, we cannot 100% trust anything that someone with a stake in the company in question says as the truth.
amgin3··on Night Walk in Marseille [video]
I think it is broken in Chrome on Linux.. unless it is supposed to be a series of stretched out looking pictures taking up a small portion of the screen that spin around on their central axis and flip upside-down when you drag your mouse, and you can only navigate with keyboard arrows..
