You have to have a VM to run a _single_ service? You have no multi-application VMs?
maccolgan··on Akamai to Acquire Linode
It seems to be a fault on Google's side, and not Linode's. It's like blaming the car when the road is closed down.
maccolgan··on Akamai to Acquire Linode
DigitalOcean gives out /124 subnets, why would anyone use DO?
maccolgan··on Akamai to Acquire Linode
In that time, Red Hat has:

1. Killed the sole reason why people use CentOS. 2. Has so tightly integrated systemd and NetworkManager to Fedora that it's essentially unusable for server environments.

Sure, Red Hat has been fine.

maccolgan··on Akamai to Acquire Linode
Equinix isn't Akamai, I'd consider them human scale.

It's called UNIX scripts, GNU is Not Unix.

>There’s a lot of furries too.

Wrong part of the internet.

maccolgan··on Trudeau Invokes Emergencies Act
>Majority of farmers

Statistically people from 1-3 states can't represent the majority of farmers.

>supported small farmers for decades

I guess they therefore can't ever stop subsidizing them, homerun for the economy.

>agriculture is like 80% of jobs for ppl in India

What? (Also, it produces almost no value in exchange for the subsidies, it's barely 15% of the GDP IIRC)

Congratulations, you have discovered democracy.

maccolgan··on The EARN IT act is back, and it’s more dangerous than ever

maccolgan··on Settings are not a design failure
There's more than two types of cursors, it's just that MacOS doesn't support anything but those two (excluding the directional cursors), and Windows supports most, and most GNU/Linux DEs support all.
maccolgan··on Settings are not a design failure
Were you supporting closed source software? Because that's exactly why it sucks, you have no right to disagree.
maccolgan··on Settings are not a design failure
Settings allow you to customize a software beyond its developer-intended path, while that doesn't take away from the "default" path, it maximizes the total amount of good experience. That's how it's universal.
maccolgan··on Settings are not a design failure
It didn't, now we have Walt Disney Concert Hall.
maccolgan··on Ask HN: Gmail account security

maccolgan··on Intel's $20B Ohio factory could become world's largest chip plant
> Ohio has no parental leave laws, especially ones that provide women with automatic 6 to 8 weeks of disability leave for the period before and after childbirth.

How is this a "personal liberty" thing? This in turn is probably violating the freedom of association that employers have...

>breastfeeding and other pregnancy related accommodations, and gives employees the right to sit at work if they do not need to stand

All of these trade one liberty for the other.

That'd mean that automated Photoshop filters would also be this same category, so would Snapchat, that doesn't make sense...
maccolgan··on Why Galesburg has no money
If people outside the city are forced to pay for city things, surely they'll also get to elect and control the actions of the city too?
maccolgan··on PayPal faces lawsuit for freezing customer accounts and funds
It's not a US feature, the US has ACH.
maccolgan··on More than 1M fewer students are in college, the lowest numbers in 50 years
> This is nearly a strictly American problem. Much of the rest of the world has realized that society requires and is capable of supporting advanced education for all -- after all we want humanity to be advancing, right?

Yeah subsidization of education, of mostly useless degrees will solve all problems of humanity, totally.
