So in red states porn is being used, and in blue states TikTok and Instagram are being used. Is anyone tracking who is behind the concerted efforts here? For example, which organiz…

They retain their value because they _are_ useful for real work and are mostly built for longer lives. Even if new purchases are for luxury reasons used purchases have prices pushe…

I would have guessed as much. I don’t understand why the west allows Chinese firms to act on their contracts a law when interacting with their markets. There is no reason to allow …

If you’ve not heard of Lojban you may not have heard of Sapir-Whorf. Or you’re indirectly referring to it. https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/win2011/entries/relativi... https://e…

Thanks for the correction. I understand it is seen but wonder if it was in keyboard only in the past.

Tab key is both a control character moving the cursor to the next input and also an input representing the tab character as you see in a text editor. Now that im thinking about it …

Just a gut check but it feels ugly to put auth in an L3 proposal.

I’m for looking for the existing cameras. I’m against a panopticon where any “trusted” LEO with an account can query and have ring + flock + OnStar + Tesla etc all aggregated to fo…

Asterisk * has other uses too. Even more common than footnotes would be x*y=42 X=42/y edit: HN automatically finds this example and puts in escapes to make it work. From elsewhere …

I agree that file paths should be in `backticks`. Or italics can be //double slash// to avoid ambiguities with file paths. That still leaves the windows style //some/file/path as a…

This seems like the place to ask. What other big ideas have there been since everything-is-a-file? I’m not aware of any. And it seems like we want another layer of permissions on d…

This is exactly reverse of the right idea. If parents need to censor things the solutions are the same as corpos are going to. Put the censors at the device or “mitm” the connectio…

Who do we lobby to get this removed from the auditors checklists? This is a solvable problem but it’s political. And if we don’t solve it personal computing is at risk.

Can you say what products make use of this technique? i.e. is it well known like Juniper Mist or not publicly available?

How much cost do you consider a first time home as costing?

I’m unfamiliar with academia but doesn’t this only measure formal funding? It doesn’t measure collaboration with separate EU funding.

It’s immensely misleading. At least with a valid legal order we are still living by rule of law. With the recent actions I can’t say ICE is acting by rule of law. Having said that …

People arguably cannot have integrity unless all other companies they compete with also have integrity. The answer is legislation. We have no reason to allow our government to use …

> Afghanistan Iraq Comparing to US immigration support following the Vietnam war this is shameful.

It sounds like you’re unfamiliar with January 6th. Many of the people active in J6th were prosecuted. Most were pardoned by Trump. I understand the GP is saying these same people h…

Every time I’ve heard Peter Thiel speak I’ve believed he cares about other things. I’m more concerned about his implementations of things.
