On the About page (https://www.rfcafe.com/business/about-rf-cafe-disclaimer.htm) there's a map showing some high level visitor distribution, and there's a couple of dots in Thailand. There's also the following copy on…

I don't know... I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're from a country where football isn't very popular. I don't think you realize just how many fans there are. How utterly ingrained it is in the…
I'm most certainly not a football fan, but I definitely know that a match consists of two 45 minute (and then some) halves. It's pretty much equivalent to a non motor enthusiast knowing that there are usually four…
Is it completely unthinkable that we just don't want to be spied upon?
I've seen people argue, with a straight face, that they prefer to get ads that are "relevant to them". Including here on Hacker News.
Of course it is. I have no idea why you'd suggest such a thing.
> And maybe there are even fewer people to worry about this, because when the moved to the city, those people stopped having children. > Who is this good for? Is it good for you? Well, as a global population reduction…
Foreigner from the socialist Nordics here, so perhaps I'm brain washed or something, but I don't get it. After some brief Googling it appears that you mean they have proposed a tax on a service that for some reason used…
An alternative take is that we've endured thousands of years of propaganda aimed at keeping women as child bearing, house keeping slaves, and we're finally starting to see the end of that in at least some cultures. But…
Both priests are assumed to understand Latin. The situation they want to avoid is starting up a conversation with someone in a language they don't know. So the options are: 1) Use Polish, with the risk of being rude if…
> But unfortunately these addresses are hard to remember and "nobody" recognizes them when reading examples. How does that matter? The point isn't that the reader should know that "oh, this is a reserved address". The…
Perhaps. But these ones have been around a while. Here's the new HN story, seven years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21263264 Not sure how long you're a startup...
Well, TRAMP was preceded by ange-ftp, which let you edit files remotely over ftp. I was using that in 1995, and I didn't get the impression then that it was brand new, so it had probably been around for a while already.…
Alright. I didn't know that. "Just call them" did not sound like it included any kind of authentication procedure. But giving birthdate (available to anyone via a single query in a public database) and (sometimes?! -…
Not sure how that's relevant. There are computers now. Regulations change with the times. Green lasers weren't controlled in the 1700:s either. Are you comfortable with anybody being able to ring up the hospital and say…
Fairly sure that would be considered a breach of patient confidentiality where I live, at least.
Odd point to raise in a thread about a family killed while waiting at a bus stop in broad daylight. Do you think reflective clothing would have changed the outcome of the event significantly?
I guess there's a difference between talking about how many requests a system is capable of handling, and how many they actually get. At least when i encountered the discussion initially (some thirty years ago) I'd say…
I've got 6.19.8 in stable-backports. I don't know. I don't feel massively outdated.
> Gaming stuff needs a bit more bleeding edge packages. Not sure I agree. I've been gaming on Debian since 2005, and while it certainly was some work in the beginning, it's been pretty painless for the last five years…
Fair enough. Point taken :)
Well, yes, that sentence definitely simplified matters a bit. The fact is though, that those who expressed concerns about Microsoft - in that particular thread, and in others - were generally ridiculed in roughly the…
"You're just a bunch of fanatic, Linux obsessed Microsoft haters living in the past. Microsoft are the good guys now." -- ca. everyone here, during the GitHub acquisition
I once saw this pattern referred to as a bashtag, which I think was an excellent name (no matter if you actually run bash as your shell or not).
