unlinkeron Why Are the Highly Educated So Liberal?

I guess they found out liberal economical policies lead to unemployment, and the poor loathe unemployment.

By the way Corbyn is a very bad example. He's a walking train wreck.

unlinkeron A Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online

I call it the San Francisco bubble. Fortunately, it's just a bubble. ;P

unlinkeron A Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online

I did, because people here can get pretty salty and I didn't want to "bite the bait", but yes, now that you insist, I am one, and I am not ashamed of it.

unlinkeron A Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online

The Venn diagram of the AltRight and 4chan's /pol/ board (the only board that would care about ((()))) is a circle inside of a circle so I don't think it will make any difference.

unlinkeron A Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online

Secret? I don't think it's secret anymore. I follow lots of white nationalists and I have seen it for months already. This one was particularly funny, although I don't know if it's fake or not. https://i.imgur.com/A6aJYs7.png

What's also funny is how the article insists on ((())) being designed and engineered by evil masterminds to be unsearchable, when it's just incidental.

unlinkeron Owncloud has been forked into Nextcloud

http://blog.jospoortvliet.com/2016/06/nextcloud-is-replacing...

>'why' is the question everybody has and I hope you understand I don't want to talk too much about that

Grow up, maybe, Jos?

This sounds to me like the usual and continuous splits inside OSS communities, but Jesus, I do miss the days when you had a detailed explanation as soon as somebody leaked the IRC logs!

unlinkeron Blizzard Exempt from iOS and MacOS Security Sandbox

Yeah, I remember this. He's always taunting people about having jailbreaks and not sharing them.

unlinkeron Blizzard Exempt from iOS and MacOS Security Sandbox

This guy published an app that did jailbreak detection and some other stuff on the App Store, it was taken down, and has been rambling since then in a very very childish way about stuff like this: https://twitter.com/i0n1c/status/738286205708738560

Truth is--he knew what was going to happen, so this looks just like another excuse to rant.

unlinkeron When should you store serialized objects in the database? (2010)

Can't you open a Python shell and unpickle it?

unlinkeron When should you store serialized objects in the database? (2010)

Of course, you don't take for granted what the client says. You generate your own file name.

unlinkeron Microsoft Removes 260-Character Path Length Limit in Windows 10 Redstone

I'd say they will not enable that policy by default, at least for a very long time.

unlinkeron Microsoft Removes 260-Character Path Length Limit in Windows 10 Redstone

I guess they simply won't. Apps that don't adapt can't open the file. Period.

unlinkeron Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours

unlinkeron Facebook and Twitter pledge to remove hate speech within 24 hours

Sad but true. "Removing hate speech" is a codeword for "removing right wing ideas".

unlinkeron You Can't Always Hash Pointers in C

That is untrue. UB exists because C is supposed to run on so many platforms there is no way to have a defined behaviour for all of them in that standard.

unlinkeron Effort to Expose Russia’s ‘Troll Army’ Draws Vicious Retaliation

NATO would never use military force to fix stuff, right?

unlinkeron “Apple took away Messages.app UI scripting capabilities in OS X 10.11”

In any civilised country a prepaid phone number is almost free (if not free) so requiring a unique phone number will only exclude people I don't care about.

And of course that statistic is made up. It was a joke.

unlinkeron “Apple took away Messages.app UI scripting capabilities in OS X 10.11”

Get a phone number like everybody. You are like 0.0000001% of the market. Nobody is going to twist their product to cater to you.

unlinkeron Qualcomm KeyMaster keys extracted directly from TrustZone

iPhones do not use Qualcomm chipsets, so you're wrong.

unlinkeron Ask HN: Have any of you switched to Bash on Windows?

I use vagrant and it's great. I connect to it through ssh with puttytray and it's like the real thing.

unlinkeron Affiliate links on Reddit

If you share their ideas, it's charming, believe me. I can assure you hate unites more than love.

unlinkeron Python 2.7 Retirement Countdown

3 Years 10 Months 13 Days 20 Hours 54 Minutes 31 Seconds until a community fork occurs.

unlinkeron Affiliate links on Reddit

A huge split is always created: sites for left wingers (usually very moderated) and sites for right wingers (usually more free).

unlinkeron Affiliate links on Reddit

If you say something that could be labelled as conservative (something racist, or something about family values vs. homosexuality, or mentioning men and women are not equal in some way, etc) your comment will be killed by dang himself, and he'll say you're being inflammatory.

It's funny how this creates an echo chamber where nobody in real life is racist, or where you believe yourself that something remotely racist is wrong.

unlinkeron Affiliate links on Reddit

Check voat's homepage, and look how many upvotes do links have. It's dead, for the most part, although I guess very small communities (like those coming from /r/niggers, or /r/fatpeoplehate) are there to stay. But there is not much more to it.

>HN has barely changed in 7 years

HN maintenance cost is orders of magnitude smaller. Also it is losing money and nobody cares because this is just like a pet project for YC.

unlinkeron Affiliate links on Reddit

They can not afford it.

unlinkeron Affiliate links on Reddit

As far as I remember, they indeed are in severe money troubles. I guess they are, if they need to get pennies off affiliate links. Because, let's be honest here, how much money do they expect to make? My guess is that they will make around a couple thousands a month. What do they expect to do with that, especially at the expense of looking cheap as fuck?

Why was the title changed in this way? The new title is so generic, it has nothing to do with the actual problem.
