I'm completely okay with power grid and IRS code not being public.

I don't trust it to be built or maintained properly, which also means I'm relatively sure it'd be open season for troves of people who want to do bad things.

Open Source is great - but sometimes it makes absolutely no sense.

This is why keeping your political and professional life separate is important. Speaking out against your employer is juvenile, although if they hadn't spoken out against their employer it's more of a grey area - but having a high paying tech job is not a right it's a privilege.

I absolutely love the concept of Lora / Ip over LoRa. Very cool project indeed.

Looks like it's time to either fudge all my social media with unicorns and rainbows or start operating purely behind pseudonyms?

Fair enough! I can relate with plenty of my own side-projects, thanks for sharing yours.

People who get offended all the time ruined the fun?

Still curious as to what his motivation to reverse engineer this camera was? Extra features? Custom features?

Genuinely curious - seemed missing from the blog post.

I genuinely thank you for your civility - HN seems to only be cheeky in one direction - it's the kind of thing I usually hope to avoid when reading news / comments from people I would generally think have a better handle on what being decent / civil means :(

Vice News is considered "journalism". Let that sink in...

With Soros himself being the exception to the definition of a "mortal threat"?

Can HN please add a "GMG" or "GMSO" category? I'll leave it to other HN users to decipher what that acronym might stand for...

Thanks for replying in a civil way - while I agree that scientific and academic consensus is an evolving ever moving target - to dismiss our current state of the art or state of fact because "we might be wrong compared to the future" is a moot point at best. Consensus never seeks to define absolute truth - there is no such thing as absolute truth - consensus seeks to normalize bias and maximize benefit for those involved in a given decision.

Muh fun class. Muh world class university. Muh.

I agree this is a double standard - maybe we as educated people in this forum can move past arguing gender semantics in 2019?

Can't wait for someone to try and guess my gender through HN... Maybe we should add a HN eula that states users must assume all other users are of a non-binary gender identity...

But to be "morally" right you have to have an ample understanding of what is and is not explicitly fact that's actually based in reality. Otherwise, the consensus of what fact is becomes irrelevant and the guise of morality simply becomes little more than barbed wire or nails wrapped around the baseball bat of which ever narrative or ideology our leaders intend to pursue...

Even as a very progressive young person, AOC's lack of composure and basic logic is deeply troubling.

TIL - Seagate drives are still basically shit :)

Let’s try to avoid another unabomber...

This kid’s story is interesting but I feel he’s got immense amounts of work ahead of him to socialize in the “real” world. Not elementary school, not high school not college but the real world. Being socialized and able to navigate is also distinctly different than having a “high EQ”.

I had a mentally ill roommate - I can definitely confirm this phenomenon is possible. Especially when a close housemate isn’t willing to acknowledge their condition and allows it to progress in severity.

This is so fucking hilarious.

Really - they had to ruin New York City...

Fake crutches or wheelchairs could also be an interesting foil to this method of surveillance?

Time for some IR emitting / reflecting pants!

Congrats to Wendell at Level1Techs!

Glad to see more work from Quillette, strongly believe they're one of the only strong less-bias sources of objective journalism in our world today.

Was Lunyr (the creator of the MUN token) ever federally investigated? I haven't heard much from them for about a year.

I wonder why there are so many Microsoft branded Apple Stores then?...

The irony of Amazon naming their latest line of Alexa "enabled" products "Amazon [Tap]" is both painful and terrifying...

Seems wrong to assume that this dump hasn't been tampered with or has implicit biases...

Vice reveals the messy reality of running both an accurate, non-biased and "edgy" "news" outlet.

I recently took a remote job. Initially, discipline for work / non-work time was tough. But in the end, it lead to better habits and more productive time spent actually working.

I like working in offices, however working remote has been surprisingly pleasant (although I'm definitely more of an introvert).
