165,556 | null | null | I have no inside knowledge of this one, but broadly speaking, these sorts of failures can be caused by a change thought innocent at the time to the core software that is then widely deployed using automated systems. If the core's tests didn't catch a real issue in production (and for whatever reason, the rollout happens faster than the regular small-release verification process can catch the error), things can go sour in a way that's expensive to un-sour.<p>Amazon once pushed a seemingly-innocuous change to their internal DNS that caused all the routers between and within datacenters to drop their IP tables on the floor. They had to re-establish the entire network by hand---datacenter heads calling each other up and reading IP address ranges over the phone to be hand-entered into lookup tables. Cost a fortune in lost sales for the time the whole site was inaccessible. | null | fixermark | null | 1,552,530,330 | "2019-03-14T02:25:30Z" | comment | 19,386,036 | 19,382,078 | null | null | null |

It's impossible to know what would have happened in the absence of whatever policy you want to discuss. You can say "We spent X and as a result our recession was the longest ever."

165,584 | null | null | How can I cite thoughts in people's heads? Their opinions on why they switched? Apple did a series of commercials about switching to Macs and cited the problems in Windows. The FOSS community has been promoting GNU/Linux as an alternative to Windows for a long time now. This is common sense stuff that I shouldn't have to find a news media source on, because the news media doesn't cover that sort of stuff.<p>Most business software is written for Windows, some businesses develop their own custom apps or use Excel and MS-Office. So it isn't easy to migrate from Windows to GNU/Linux for them. I know this from experience as I worked at places like that. It is stuff that the news media won't report on, the business lock-in and when you Google Windows business lock in you get Windows apps for Business results so you can't find anything about the lock-in.<p>But back on topic ReactOS doesn't run the business apps a lot of companies rely on, so it isn't a good alternative to Windows yet for them.<p>ReactOS is for hobbyists right now because it is still in the alpha stage and not ready for Prime Time yet.<p>Edit: Typo | null | orionblastar | null | 1,450,321,766 | "2015-12-17T03:09:26Z" | comment | 10,749,232 | 10,749,157 | null | null | null |

165,588 | null | null | I sympathize with the intent of this; I agree that the doctrine of corporate personhood, in its current form, has done far more harm than good. (I don't favor abolishing it, but rather modifying it along the lines given downthread, by factoring out the aspects of personhood that corporations should share and <i>only</i> giving corporations those aspects.)<p>But I seriously doubt that this method of getting the issue before a court will work. There are way too many legasl dodges that can be taken before it gets to that point. To really get it to SCOTUS, one would need to have a case where far more substantial harm is done and where the doctrine of corporate personhood plays a key role in the harm. I don't see that here; it's too obviously a ploy and too easy to label as frivolous. | null | pdonis | null | 1,357,935,019 | "2013-01-11T20:10:19Z" | comment | 5,044,690 | 5,044,437 | null | null | null |

165,603 | null | null | No, that's what the title says, but it is click bait.<p>What the actual article says is that in social groups with well defined hierarchies, higher ranking members tend to contribute more than average to the common good (though this might be biased due to their role in defense against external threats). This old fashioned notion that the rich are expected to hit above their weight level is called Noblesse Obligue, and it's almost the exact opposite of Gecko's doctrine.<p>What reasons there might be to have come up with such a title/conclusion given the information available?

165,606 | null | null | I discovered programming as a ten year old because I grew tired of the games I had for my C64. After all C64 BASIC was there all along, behind the scenes, just waiting for me. Today when kids grow tired of the games they have, they open the App Store and download another one. There's no programming language "behind the scenes" waiting for to be discovered by a bored ten year old.<p>I totally agree that kids should decide and that as parents we should never force them to fulfill our dreams. But at the same time as adults we still need to show them what options there are, guide them through obstacles and push them a little when it's boring or scary in order to make them grow.<p>Far too often today I see parents (myself no exception though I try no to) treat their children as small adults, as if they already possess all the knowledge and skill to make informed decisions about what's best for them. When I take the time to really listen to my kids it always strikes me how much their view of the world differs from mine. It's easy to think that a certain event we experience together has the same impact on us, but a lot of the things I consider trivial has a lasting effect on my kids.<p>I guess what I want to say is that it's easy to say "if the kid wants to program, she will program" but it doesn't always work that way if she doesn't know that you <i>can</i> program. | null | amag | null | 1,440,495,702 | "2015-08-25T09:41:42Z" | comment | 10,115,360 | 10,115,096 | null | null | null |

Saying "before 2015" is misleading, because the MacBook name was used during two disjoint periods to refer to two completely different machines.<p>Between 2006 and mid-2011, the MacBook brand name was used for a line of low-cost Core 2 laptops, most of which had plastic cases. (Some sales to schools continued through 2012.) These are the laptops which were not supported by macOS 10.14 and later.<p>Between mid-2011 and 2015, there were no computers sold under the MacBook brand.

165,618 | null | null | In my official capacity as commenting wind-bag, I'll second that.<p>HN started as a way for YC guys to communicate. It was about <i>startups</i>, the tips and techniques to make one, to grow one. Once PG opened it up, it became "stuff hackers like", which meant cool deep tech stuff. But the tech stuff was there because after a while, all the startup stuff just ran together.<p>Then "stuff hackers like" kept drifting wider and wider. I was happy with that, but now that the traffic numbers are through the roof, what I'm seeing is the 1% snark factor is out of control. If each member of HN said something truly snarky only once a month, there would still be thousands of snarky comments a day on here. It's just too much noise.<p>HN has always been driven by emotion: the only reason to click that button is to express your emotional response, good or bad. Sure you can rationalize that in various ways, but in principle it's about how the thing makes you feel.<p>Now we have the love-fest stories, the hate-fest stories, the snide jokes that get upvoted, the trashing of "rate my startup" posts (I still can't believe how some of the startups are treated). It's becoming less of a community and more of a mob.<p>I think maybe the story <i>titles</i> might look mostly the same, perhaps, but the quality of the stories and the quality of the conversations have changed quite a bit. | null | DanielBMarkham | null | 1,298,421,358 | "2011-02-23T00:35:58Z" | comment | 2,252,343 | 2,252,209 | null | null | null |

165,628 | null | null | Agreed -- I've always enjoyed my debates with you. I'd go so far as to say I sort of miss them. But I've now grown so frustrated by the pedantic replies that I get on HN nowadays that I've had to start deleting my comments after I write them. And I've stopped visiting as often because it takes too much effort to write a response that I feel avoids the trollish responses I fear I will get.<p>One of the final straws for me was when the title of my submission about being replaced as CEO was changed -- a topic of significant relevance to this audience I think. What frustrated me most was that I had picked a useful title and the not only was the new title worse in my eyes, but it was surrounded by rather inane posts about the "top X reasons for Y" or something about Apple or Google. It just didn't add up for me.<p>And on a tactical level, there is unquestionably a tendency for people to respond to the top post rather than start a new top-level thread. The lack of collapsing of threads is quite frustrating on long topics.<p>For now, I'm mostly done here. | null | davidu | null | 1,298,421,395 | "2011-02-23T00:36:35Z" | comment | 2,252,348 | 2,252,209 | null | null | null |

Italy's cases came despite cancellation of air traffic with China. (And there may be more complex relationships here.) Testing which doesn't account for asymptomatic spread beyond current outbreak regions is likely to lag well <i>behind</i> the actual spread of the disease, by days to weeks.<p>China, despite a very uneven start, has responded well. The rest of the world now has to execute competently.<p>I'll note that this is most especially a <i>public health</i> issue, one whose outcome will be determined by containment, sanitation, hygiene, quarantine, and travel restrictions.<p>For general personal suggestions see: <a href="https://www.ready.gov/pandemic" rel="nofollow">https://www.ready.gov/pandemic</a><p>Before a Pandemic:'<p>Store a two week supply of water and food.<p>Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.<p>Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.<p>Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records.<p>Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.<p>During a Pandemic:<p>Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection<p>Avoid close contact with people who are sick.<p>When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.<p>Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.<p>Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. | null | dredmorbius | null | 1,582,551,082 | "2020-02-24T13:31:22Z" | comment | 22,403,796 | 22,403,419 | null | null | null |
