Wow. I would totally start biking to work if I had one of these. So cool
techthroway443··on Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours
From wikipedia: Snapchat is primarily used for creating multimedia messages referred to as "snaps"; snaps can consist of a photo or a short video, and can be edited to include filters and effects, text captions, and drawings.
techthroway443··on Joe’s Crab Shack Tried Getting Rid of Tips – It Didn’t Last Long
Sure you can take it up with management but why are you giving extra money to the person who just gave you bad service? Tipping is for the quality of service you receive, and if it's bad service it's absolutely pointless for you to reward that shitty behavior. By all means go ahead but I'm not sure you quite understand the point of tipping in the first place

> Can you provide a citation?

Have you ever eaten out in your life? How many times have you left a 20 percent tip for a waiter who forgot to put in your order, brought the wrong food, was mean to you, etc.

techthroway443··on Joe’s Crab Shack Tried Getting Rid of Tips – It Didn’t Last Long
This comment doesn't make sense to me.

Neither of these things happen.

You are saying tips aren't based on quality of the service?

techthroway443··on Automattic Purchases .blog TLD for $19M
What does it mean they purchased .blog TLD?

techthroway443··on My Disastrous Experience with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Thar (2015)
Is it just me or do most of his issues seem video related? In which case that would probably be a driver issue which would be poor vendor support and not necessarily a problem with Ubuntu.

Why not switch to onboard/integrated video card and see if he notices any difference?

techthroway443··on Ikea made a kitchen showroom in VR
Now this is a cool innovative use of VR.

Imagine if you could look around your current kitchen, dining room, etc. and see how it would look with different furniture, paint, what have you.

I guess this might fall more under augmented reality, either way cool concept.

techthroway443··on Ask HN: How to find an “entry level” job?
It's used a lot more for the kind of job you're looking for than the keywords you were using.

The point is you want to use keywords that are okay with having zero experience and that are used in job postings.

Entry level fits both of those.

techthroway443··on Revenue on Medium
Still no idea how this site works.

Is it meant to be a twitter feed for blog posts?

techthroway443··on Ask HN: Do you feel more productive on a Mac than on other OS?
You will be most productive on whatever OS you use the most. The longer you use it the more accustomed you become to the different hotkeys, menu layouts and commands. Pretty much any OS you use will be customized over time to suit your needs best.

techthroway443··on WhatsApp Just Switched on Encryption for a Billion People
I have no idea how secure it is, I was asking for clarification.

Side note, I noticed your account is still green and 13 days old. Are new accounts green only for two weeks?

techthroway443··on Second Measure (YC S15) analyzes credit card transaction data for investors
Are these the same two people who got fired from Capital One's Fraud Department because while working there they were using the Capital One database to make investment decisions?

Edit: nevermind, looks like it was these two: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-22/capital-on...

Seems like these two should have been offered a promotion in Captial One's portfolio management division instead!

techthroway443··on WhatsApp Just Switched on Encryption for a Billion People
Are you implying WhatsApp designed an insecure encryption?
techthroway443··on Tor exit node operator gets raided by police
It's not worrying at all.

Running a Tor exit node in itself isn't a problem. The problem arises when the exit node operator knowingly is giving up control over the traffic going through his connection.

If you run a tor exit node you need to accept the fact there is a chance something illegal is passing through and that when it happens (as it did here) you are going to get investigated.

It would be irresponsible and neglectful for law enforcement not to raid this man's home.
