This is usually due to taxation and legal reasons. In the US for example, even a US based company out of, say, New York has to have paperwork set up with each state they want to hi…

With high resolution cameras, indefinite data retention and third party data leaks being a matter of when, not if, this seems like a perfect way to get your fingerprints stolen by …

https://archive.ph/47ra0 Edit: seems even this is just the summary first two paragraphs.

“[…] moral argument […]” I mean, that’s pretty rich coming from the folks willfully engaging in human rights violating surveillance to overwhelm you with obscure useless nonsense t…

There’s a common phrase in English: “what’s the ask?” As in, “what is the other party requesting?” “What does this person want?” I can see how that would sound/read a bit strange t…

Wait a minute - clearly I missed something here. Last I read, Mythos was only available to a handpicked list of megacorps under project glasswing. Did the hourly changing AI soap o…

I was not aware of this loophole. Thank you. I’ve got some strong opinions but I’m just going to keep those to myself right now. And my dog. She’ll hear me as I scream profanities …

What I’m not clear on - how many of these H1B hires are subject to the EO that jacked up the fee to $100k per person? Assuming even just 100 of them were, that’s still ten million …

I can’t answer this directly, but it may be helpful to others if they have an example (be it real or fabricated based on what you’re working with) to work from.

Please, for the good of humanity, and of HN, report back.

I’ll remind us all that the subject of human flatulence has been one of interest for some of history’s greatest minds - and humorists - for several centuries at the very least: htt…

This. The more locked down, the less in control we are, the higher margins they command. This is why app stores exist - it has nothing to do with safety or security, and everything…

Zero. Email & calendars replaced with totally separate paid provider that doesn’t run ads at all. Search through Kagi. No domains or hosting. No docs/presentations, and only use me…

Something I never quite understood: differentiate between BEAM process and operating system process. The OS has launched one (in theory) BEAM Erlang VM runtime process with N threa…

Privacy rights. Google’s ad surveillance eventually feeds ICE and its ilk, so I’ll not willingly reward this behavior.

The first rule of Elon club is: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT ELON CLUB! ;-)

I’m having trouble understanding how that second amendment passed. The first one didn’t so the total number of shares didn’t change, right? So how did he get the second one through…

Good question. I’d expand on this and ask a bonus question of, how do you write tests for your 2fa implementation code? Same thing for third party auth (sign in via GitHub/Google, …

Props to the author, this was well written. Clear and concise, it was easy to follow. Not like my ratings and ravings! ;-)

To the best of my admittedly limited knowledge on the subject, they're relatively new so most news sites aren't terribly aware of them yet, and most people aren't technology-savvy …

I've got a friend's dad who's a three-time stroke victim. Prior to the first, dude was left handed. Knowing the guy, I think he'd really enjoy the Halo series of video games or som…

I see what you did there ;-)

Reasonable cost of housing Low to nonexistent state income tax Balanced state legislature between the two parties Strong consumer and renter protection laws Aggressively pro-compet…

If this is really true - and frankly I’m not sure I buy it completely (though I do partially) - well, then, fuck those guys. I like Jews. They’ve always been really nice to me desp…

I’d be willing to wager this extends beyond America, if it were properly studied. Perhaps to a slightly different degree, though not by much. Just swap “jew” with some other minori…
