I believe someone making minimum wage will get all of their Federal taxes back, so they could probably just claim 99 exemptions and never pay that money in the first place. I'm not sure about state taxes as that may…
I don't know if all ERP software is like what I've seen but what I've seen is a hot mess. If your company is ever looking to move to the ERP space from a homegrown legacy system like we did, don't buy Infor. I'd rather…
Healthcare IT is one of the most backwards areas of IT to work in, I think, in large part because of the legal red tape around everything clinical. So you get a lot of people that say no automatically. Additionally, I…
That's a very nice service but I'm not sure I'd like to do it. When I did support for a university we very specifically could turn down items (mostly laptops) that were too grody to work on. Most of the techs used their…
I used to work with this programmer who would get free beta testers by doing this. Set up a meeting with endusers in one of our training labs and tell them they can complain about whatever they want. Then walk them…
They probably shouldn't though... I'm sure he'd pull an Elizabeth Bathory even if there's no proof at all that it helped...
I'd like to summon James Otis, Jr: "I will to my dying day oppose, with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand and villainy on the other as this Writ of Assistance…
$25 (or $5/month) gets you a sticker pack with "FAIR USE HAS A POSSE" and "COME BACK WITH A WARRANT"... worth it. Oh, plus the warm fuzzies you get.
I thought /r/the_donald and /r/enoughtrumpspam were going to have a proxy war in /r/the_meltdown but it just turned into a gloating ring for TD folks. Then TD freaked out over /u/spez plus pizzagate getting shut down...…
Very interesting, thank you!
It's a strange world we live in that people the world over might well get basic internet infrastructure (even if only a cell phone with limited service rather than high-bandwidth cable) while lacking other portions of…
I'm very interested now in what these ethical considerations would be. Do you mean that if people put in bolts that it might somehow dilute the climb?
I get your hyperbole but simply as a matter of course I'm gonna have to throw a flag: that's the fallacy of relative privation.

No. It's not. I'm not trying to be rude here but I don't know why you keep making arguments for me. I never said that nor the last thing you think I was saying. All I said was "hey maybe you're right there isn't a…
What? I'm not forcing anyone to do so nor even asking them to. As far as I'm aware, none of us are allowed to pick and choose what our taxes go to or else I probably would give more to the arts than, say, the military.
You're right, they're not valuable in the capitalistic sense. They're valuable if you don't want to live in the world depicted in Brazil (1985), or Neuromancer, or pretty much any cyberpunk dystopia.
I'm not 100% sure why you're asking for a link to a product when I think it's fairly clear that he's talking about business solutions. Or to give a weak example: "we have system X and system Y and need them to talk."…
I'm no expert but have always found the O'Reilly books helpful. Also... well I'm not sure what HN's policy is on sources/linking but let's just say that you could search right now for "Classic Shell Scripting pdf" or…
"So what's the deal with airplane food, amirite?" Wait... is the beeb starting a stand-up career in the 90s? Also, I've no idea why they bother with full meals. Just keep feeding people chips, cookies, nuts... the…
But but but... Obama stopped the influx of people into Gitmo! I mean, sure, he did that by just drone bombing the shit out of everyone instead but...
I assume the point is as both a warning to others (us) and as a reminder to him. As someone who subscribes to the PKD definition of "hero," I quite like the article for this purpose. Had the author known a bit more…
Honestly, I don't believe that anyone in the modern era really got fat because they were following guidelines. I think it's much more likely the fact that we put sugar into just about everything, portion sizes having…
That's true of everything, though? I mean a shitty $2 shirt wouldn't exist but for the power looms of the 19th century...
Really? Skyrim, the game where if you place an apple in a bucket on a guy's counter and go do 200 hours of quests and come back... the apple is still there. That's not a persistent world? That's pretty much the only…
