deathhandon GitHub: October 21 Incident Report

It's not that bad. X definitely modifies Y but it may also modify Z. You are informing the audience of this fact and it provides them with 'warm fuzzies'.

deathhandon Grand Theft Auto 'cheats' homes raided

This will be the new normal. Society/people have evolved to a point where abstract thought is valuable. Protection of that intangibleness will only increase in time as the risks become greater.

This is so soothing that I fell asleep to it.

deathhandon Eventbrite S-1

Considering their competitor is LYV(Live Nation) at a market cap of 10 Billion... Who wouldn't want a piece of that pie? Hopefully they will be able to raise enough capital to bring lawsuits against LYV for their anti-competitive and monopolistic practices.

deathhandon Aramco listing plan halted, oil giant disbands advisors – sources

If I could be the devil's advocate I would say that you aren't scaling properly and that is leading to your stress but I am no new pot millionaire. Employ those around you that you trust and that will do well for you. "if you want to do it fast go alone, if you want to go far go with others"

deathhandon Bullshit jobs and the yoke of managerial feudalism

Bankers is a very broad term. "High financiers" are bankers and so are people who work at a bank who do not get 'mega bonuses'. The article was talking about the latter.

deathhandon Man Who Stole Plane Near Seattle Raises Troubling Security Question

India's freemdom was gained, in part, by self immmolation. Can't be spreading that dissidence because it would lead to 'copy cats'. We don't actually want to fix the issue but rather sweep it under the rug like public mental health.

deathhandon Warner Music Group Sells Entire Stake in Spotify

>Too many good indie musicians are just a publisher away from success.

But with the GP argument one could say an algorithm away...

deathhandon Housing Costs Reduce the Return to Education

Rent seeking behavior creates greater economic inequality and all the host of problems that come with it. The government should curtail these behaviors in laws and taxes unless we want another occupy movement or worse.

deathhandon Intel patches new ME vulnerabilities

Do we really need remote code execution on the bios level? Is this a case of 'we can, but should we?'

deathhandon iPhone crashing bug likely caused by code added to appease Chinese government

Because they were Klashinkakovs, a Russian design and not made by the American War Machine.

deathhandon iPhone crashing bug likely caused by code added to appease Chinese government

Well traditionally tech companies leave open gaps for the average Joe to do the law breaking themselves. If the concept of Taiwan is illegal then it would be a add-on available from other sources. Given how closed source and how rudimentary text input is to an OS I do not know how feasible this is for an IPhone.

deathhandon How Reddit plans to make money through advertising

I would like to plug notabug.io It isn't my site but I believe in the tech (peer 2 peer with voting done through crypt) and the philosophy

"I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug."

If the government has to crowd source its back doors then there may still be hope for digital freedom.

deathhandon Delhi’s air pollution monitors have recorded the highest levels they can measure

I am not Indian so please take this with a grain of salt.

My senior project was creating a business plan for India. I guess the professor was farming for ideas. The one thing he berated over and over was that due to the multiple municipalities and mass corruption, conducting business between their states is not a trivial matter. This means that there is no group cohesiveness. Pollution knows no borders and I do not think this will be an easy problem for the Indian people to solve due to said internal struggle.

deathhandon Will MySpace ever lose its monopoly? (2007)

My personal journey: Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, HN

deathhandon To find suspects, police quietly turn to Google

Why don't people trust cops?

Asset forfeiture, crooked cops, shoot first ask questions later, a strong union which protects their own, and their ability to spy on their personal rivals through NSA/FBI tools makes us a paranoid bunch.

The last part.. NYPD mis-used tools to track former lovers[1] and there was no reprocussion. How can we feel safe?

I think being an information junkie is more of the reason of HN addiction.

deathhandon Scientists Are Just Starting to Understand Earth’s Eighth Continent, Zealandia

An 8 day week would actually alleviate the pressures of modern society. Give people another day of rest. We have had enough efficiency increases that the extra day of rest wouldn't 'break the efficiency bank' so to speak. This would probably be in lieu of a basic income. I'd much rather have more time than some baseline of economic necessities but that is IMHO.

deathhandon U.S. does not believe Cuba is behind sonic attacks on American diplomats

Thank you! I never knew.

deathhandon U.S. does not believe Cuba is behind sonic attacks on American diplomats

>trust by verify

Snopes has been around as long as I have been on the internet. Their DNS whois is protected. Who are they?

The links/sources in this article don't really prove that Sonic weapons are ineffective. They go back to non-weapons research.(the US government has created such weapons have been proven effective[1])

I want to trust but I cannot verify that their claims are true(that these claims are false)
