It would be better if they gave incentives to their own for having children.

It's completely impossible to have used Python 2 and not having felt miserable under a pile of UnicodeDecodeErrors.

There is no way to massively delete your past messages. In addition to that:

1. If you close a private message window and are not friends with the person or share a server with them, there is no way to open it again, so you've lost access to that chat history and can't delete your messages from there.

2. If you get banned from a server, you lose access to that server's history and can't delete your messages from it.

3. If you delete your account, your messages are not deleted and stay in all private conversations and servers forever.

Their data management is simply terrible. Personally, I would've deleted my account already, but I don't feel comfortable knowing I can't delete my past messages and that they may add that option later.

Tay was just SO funny, I wish they had released the source code for others to follow.

I don't understand. Why would anybody want that?

They are, that's why Fortnite took a massive dump on PUBG

I'm sure they don't. You can pay to use an animated gif as your avatar and some other useless gimmicks, and as you can imagine, the % of users who pay is abysmal.

The queen does nothing. She's just there for appearances.

That's handled by the system on both Android and iOS. I remain unconvinced.

>I thought the Internet would just make the next attempt that much faster to die out, but apparently I was wrong!

That's how politics work, it's a pendulum. It has swung too far to liberalism, we're almost at Weimar republic now. Now it's time for the pendulum to swing back. If anything, the Internet is going to accelerate it.

Wow, 1994. These things are timeless.

It's the best solution. Given how mindbogglingly expensive your product is, you could try your best at least.

You can, actually, by not having a free and open internet. Which is what we will eventually have. And it won't be because of some super shady and evil council of old men in suits, but because the public will beg for it.

It isn't, but I don't see why you should run your VPN software as root at all.

But that means that if there's a security bug in the module, the whole computer is compromised, no?

On one hand, yes, but it's fair because it's an embargoed country. I mean, it's not fair in my opinion, but Slack is forced to abide by the laws of the United States. This approach they've chosen of banning everybody who's ever connected from Iran is stupid and ham-fisted and they are being rightly ridiculed for it.

On the other, the author of the thread is accusing Slack of profiling him racially. What he's implying is that a human proceeded to stalk him around the Internet, on social networks, etc to check if he is an actual Iranian and ban him based on that. And that is a very, very grave accusation.

It only is if you think someone who has ever set foot on Iran is an ethnic Irani. You just have to look at this HN thread to see that is false, as this problem also applies to other embargoed countries.

That's not what happened at all, that's why it's hard to take him seriously. He makes it look like Slack went out of their way to look at all of their users and check of what race they are to ban those who are Iranians, when they just made a geoip check.

cough AIPAC cough

You just have to see those anti-Israel boycott clauses that people have been talking about recently. And on the other hand, no problems with Saudi Arabia because they are friends with Israel. America is Israel's whore. It's sad when you come to think of it.

The NYT is a corporation. A corporation who lied about the WMD, garnering support for a war which caused death and endless suffering to millions of people.

I'm starting to suspect they are trying to extort better ad prices from Facebook. This won't stop until they cave. I hope they don't cave. The press already has enough power as it is.

I want to try this out but... Why is WireGuard a module in the kernel??

>His ability to get work will be greatly diminished because he thought he could game some poorly structured Amazon system.

His ability to get work will be greatly diminished because he is a thief.

Their pricing is insane, if you want a custom theme or to install a plugin (which is something you will need) you're looking at 25€ per month and you have to pay year by year (300€ upfront).

Starting with a cheap shared hosting is a no-brainer.

>If you've been wanting to blog, stop pissing around, open a blog on wordpress.com and start writing. That's my first advice to anyone. Don't waste time on the technicalities, just write. You can move your blog to another platform later.

Terrible advice. If your blog proves popular, it'll be impossible for you to move away without losing your position in search engines. Lock-in.
