(i've realized; is this even necessary with the 'past' button?)

I believe when the government twisted Yahoo's hand and they put up a fight, Yahoo was given a fine that increased exponentially every day they didn't comply.

Yahoo would have owed the US gov. a sum equivalent to the GDP by the end of a month.

Sounds aweful, I'll opt out. Just because some things can be Internet or block chain connected doesn't mean they should be.

Reminds me of the second episode of Black Mirror.

I'd never heard of mosh before but this is just what I've been looking for.

here's the previous discussion on hn. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3819382

do you think they could back up the nand chip and replace it with a read only nand chip with the same memory, and then try to unlock is as much as they want?

I remember a Kickstarter that was popular that had a bicycle wheel with a motor in it that you could fit most bikes. I'd be far more interested in a solution like this for a daily commute, seems very elegant.

My build from cask didn't start the process but force removed it anyways and am waiting for cask room to point towards 2.91.

Perhaps this is a feature that would make the comments on hacker news worse?

I'd be interested if they tested it, but I can't say for certain if I think it should become a feature or not.

35$ a visualization seems a steep price to pay.

what's to stop miners with 50%+ of hashing power from withholding the founders rewards?

does network 2000 have any relation to foobar2000?

Only works with line of sight though, not useful or practical when in most line sight situations you could just run a cable anyways, and not have to worry about potential interference.

Seriously. They should have given him a even nicer car for the same cost as he agreed to initially.

>Rational prepping is meant to give you confidence to go about your business, knowing that you are well-equipped to weather out adversities. But it should not be about convincing yourself that the collapse is just around the bend, and letting that thought consume and disrupt your life.

I don't think funding watchdog organizations really fits the goal of the article.

The article also went over realistic and unrealistic risks and urged the reader to focus on realistic risks and not zombie apocalypse scenarios.

you can side load it if you still have the code/binary. that's what I've done.

how it updates the screen with notifications is a little hacky though so I'm glad they are bringing a native implementation.

hopefully this comes to OS X as well.

I don't think there's an issue with OpenBSD adoption.

OpenBSD attracts the type of users they want to support I imagine. Leave it to someone else to push the "Year of *nix desktop" agenda.

I wonder if you get better performance per watt on 2012 AMD chips or 2008 Intel chips

    "We didn’t really need the capital, per se."

Why exchange equity for capital if it's not necessary?

why not the moon?

if you used cat, could potentially something escape and run in your userspace?

Because reforming all possible aggressors ever is an uphill battle you'll never solve.

Imagine you have an API that receives a POST with some JSON. Every time your API receives a malformed POST, your application crashes or hangs. Do you a) try to do your best to make sure no one ever POSTS to your uri with malformed data, or do you b) rewrite your API to be more robust and send back an error code when malformed input is received rather than crashing?

Does that analogy make any sense or is it too far fetched?

Maybe they decided there's too much technical debt and they can't make changes to the browser as fast as they wish they could in the current framework?

Not 'broken' in a traditional sense but still a valid reason to rewrite.

That image has the oddest interaction with the user's mouse.

I had to check the site on a second browser to make sure it was acting as intended and not some bug.

If you're advocating for a change in how engineers are trained it should be on the grounds that the impact of an engineer becoming a terrorist is that much worse than a non engineer becoming a terrorist, not on the grounds that terrorists in general are really bad.

is the 'web' button on HN new?

I wonder if Google or Apple is in a stronger position to compete on price, and if either of them can accomplish what Amazon tried to accomplish with books until the Hatchette dispute.

The problem is we went from Picasa -> Google+ Photos -> +Google Photos?

Why does google keep on throwing out branding, spinning down a project, only to spin up another one that does the same thing? Why didn't they go back to the Picasa namesake, with all the branding it has?

I've sent you the code.

I've seen this look achieved with the Classic95 icon pack and Mate, if you search for 'Mate95' something should come up.

Maybe if you picked the right browser and set up some user style sheets you could get things just right.

this is kinda correct, you won't be able to get it like that out of the box anymore in jessie stable, but you will be able to get it in unstable or by adding back ports to your system.

they think it's too insecure to include in stable.
