I am fuming right now. I loved meetup and met many friends through it but is this the only way they can monetize? If the answer is yes, we have failed so horribly... I am going to stop... I have nothing constructive to say about this.

Two n half men ran for 12 years and firefly got dropped after 10 episodes, lets blame Google for this.

Barbarian: word originated from the Greek, antonym for "citizen". The Greeks used the term barbarian for all non-Greek-speaking peoples...

... I guess I should stop working in IT

try looking at the linked report, it has about 116 references.

Not sure why are downvoted, You have made some valid points

There is a recent chinese movie along the same theme "Ash is purest white". A person is jailed around 2002 and released about 10 years later and the whole world has changed.

Imo, the second book was exceptional and as a standalone, one of the best sci-fi books of the past decade.

I was just calling out a clickbait, didn't know that is a crime. I went back and checked the definition of "irony". This does not match any of the three:

  * the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
  * a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result.
  * a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Did they just misuse the word "irony"? Or am I just dumb and having trouble identifying which form of irony this is?

what were other developers (code reviews), testers and security officers doing? Stop blaming it all on one guy.

Can someone please summarize this bad take? I tried reading it but got lost halfway.

oh, I didn't know that they were giving away the devices for free.

I don't want to be that guy, but why is this silly article from a pay-walled site on the front page? Time for some sort of algo update?

Nope, they keep switching alliances and suddenly the enemy has always been a friend and the betrayed continent had always been their enemy.

i would not have minded if mozilla had offered their own vpn service, trusting some third party sounds like a bad idea.

It is a joke on Ethereum giveaway scams (with scammers pretending to be celebs) and giving zero f*cks.

but what if sparks a discussion about issues with OpenVPN and educates plebs like me about what wireguard is.

fee for my last transaction was $0.30.

it means, you wont get magical internet money when you hack google

I am guessing the giantic Indian outsourcing company is filled with AIs, they probably couldn't afford "real humans"

Also, lightning network needs to be taken into consideration. But does anyone have exact stats for that?

do you really understand how transactions are recorded in bitcoin? Care to educate me how a government can censor a transaction?

"easy-to-disrupt"... no, that's the whole point. Prove me wrong.

Yeah, have you ever tried to send .002 gram of gold to anyone recently?

Leave your comfortable bubble and look at countries with hyperinflation like Zimbabwe/Argentina, how are they going to use a cash (not dollar) in a trustless fashion?

While you are at it, you can also read up about "triple ledger accounting"

FYI: when you talk about GPU/mining/energy, you are talking about Proof of Work (pow) and not blockchain. You can look up about Proof of Stake among other ways for consensus

Please stop using clickbaity titles, first line that I saw in the post "I’ve tested seventy VPN providers and 16 of them leaks users’ IPs via WebRTC"

So, more appropriate title would have been "23% of VPN providers leak user IP" :)

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not blaming HN of anything. I am just sad about rollingstone's opinion about developing nations.
