this guy doesn't understand search, google or reasonable policy. thanks for the lawls

Good point, it could be they stick out more to me. They are super common in SV. I've personally had teslas run red lights in front of me on two different occasions within last couple months and those particularly stand out in my mind since they put my life in danger mid-intersection. I ride a motorcycle and suspect the Tesla auto pilot is particularly bad at spotting motorcyclists.

Living around silicon valley with all the tesla drivers here, you learn real fast it makes for some of the worst drivers out on the road. Regularly see them running red lights and just generally not paying attention. They crutch too hard on the auto-pilot and dick around on their smart phones, which is probably exactly what this guy was doing. It's bad for tesla drivers and it's bad for drivers around them. Hope Tesla loses this lawsuit just because of that.

People seem to get surprised when Google acts like a for profit corporation... why? That's exactly what they are and have been for a very long time. I guess they have a good publicist. In reality, Google discourages competition in the browser, search engine, and email space by denying some of their many services (which you shouldn't depend on for open source software unless it has an open source license) and worse, blacklisting competitors. I've read posts from creators of search engines and email services on here that eventually were blacklisted by Google to squelch their growth.

who cares, FBI stop wasting my tax money and catch some real criminals

Sears was always a crummy store since I can remember. This shutdown has been a long time coming.

Web development is a good career path. We live in the golden age of programming. It's never been better to be a software engineer than now. Every major startup and web company I know are constantly looking for new good hires. I recommend focusing on either frontend or backend starting off. Full stack can get hired more at mid+senior level than entry.

To be clear, he is not a white hat, he's a grey hat at best. Once you hack gmail accounts (without Google's permission) you're definitely in grey hat territory with a possible side of black.

lol yeah, chutzpah, thinking more brave than shameless going forward with a blatantly illegal business model. Fraud is more than just frowned upon

that does sound brave

its just nvidia was over-valued and the market is correcting itself now alongside all the other tech stocks getting smashed, but I think investors should double down on nvidia now while the getting is good. The company still has the best gpu engineers on the planet $$$.

lol kids today should have such an advantage with early exposure to tech but over-protective parents will fuck up that early advantage for their kids thinking they know better. Instead of no screens, teach your kids smart browsing skills like always ad-block, identify sponsored content as the garbage it is, and see micro-transaction mobile games as the low-quality content they are. No screen policies leave your kids naive and easily manipulated once they do get screen time and they will __need__ screen time and to be savvy with it.

idk if it's that the articles get up voted or the comments on the article and how it sucks and shouldn't be here getting up voted :P like I definitely just up voted your comment here

I think this is more the author's remaining twitter habit dying hard than a hacker news related habit. I like hacker news because it gives decent posts for focused reading rather than the twitter no-focus skimming or the reddit meme fest.

Ditto, in my case the site was like this, wasn't itself a non-profit organization, but said proceeds from it would go to the specified NPOs... but that never actually happened as far as I know.

Implemented APIs for clients that were based on scraping data from other competitor sites that did not give permission, it's some kind of service hi-jacking. Similarly, implemented some clone sites that just rip off other people's work #zuckerberging Some bug bounties ask pentesters not to hit their production servers hard with automated tools... I've ignored this to find some bugs in production servers on occasion.

A lot of news sources have a large part of their media already devoted to local news. I don't see this providing much value on top of that. I think your engineering work here is great, but business wise I think you should pivot.

This downrank is an ineffective farce. Search google for any show/movie with free and online attached to it and I still reliably get a result on the first page to stream pirated content from.

Ubuntu is good to start with. Also, you should consider the Elementary distro, they have a focus on stealing Mac users https://elementary.io/ could be right up your alley. As long as you use Ubuntu or Elementary - any of the more ui friendly & compatibility focused distros you'll avoid a lot of the common problems that frustrate new users. After you're comfortable with that... wander over to https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ and take your desktop up another level. I use both Linux and Mac and never find myself wanting a particular app from Mac that I don't have available to me on Linux. I find myself needing things like xcode for builds, but certainly not wanting it. If you're a music producer Logic Pro is the one app you'll miss.

Right... but for actual insomniacs this advice blows. Get diagnosed one way or the other and avoid self diagnosis.

System76 is groovy for laptops if you like Linux for your dev env

Another content parasite cut loose, what a shame, how will we continue on with our lives? potential retitle: Big Things Crush LittleThings

rightfully so, i use my hotmail for junk too. its a crummy service compared to like gmail. hotmail pretty much lets most spam through to the inbox

It's super ironic how many ads "attack your mind and computer" on your site. You must have like 10 ads on this one blog post... hypocrisy is a tricky bitch.

@discodave Billions of dollars moved around is actual wealth that has impact on the "world outside the blockchain". A lot of cryptocurrency is being exchanged for goods and services outside of the blockchain. Considering the amount of wealth being exchanged with cryptocurrency it has more impact on the real world than 99% of businesses or startups have or will ever have.

lol complexifying. you should split that word up into smaller, more modular services just like your monolith apps.

Billions of dollars are moved around in cryptocurrency every day, this article just misses all that apparently. It's not a good article, don't recommend for any smart people it's a waste of time.

One of the most successful companies in history is an example of failure in leadership to you? Thanks for the lawls

For the love of Zeus... it's called git, use it!

You can readily verify adblockplus at least doesn't take your info or do anything suspicious just by looking at its source: https://adblockplus.org/source That's how you "know" your extension or any other program you run isn't doing anything unwanted and that is the only way you'll ever know for sure. Browser extensions don't really need an additional layer of security, it is basic computer operation 101 to not install anything you don't trust.
