How does this differ from using protonmail-bridge? Seems like a similar concept.

Yeah agreed. One of the first things I do when I start feeling blue is to stop using social media and go camping.

100%. Vendor drop BSP releases with no upstream plans are so annoying. Getting proper usage of IPs on the SoC is hard, if not impossible, when not using the "blessed" kernel by the…

That seems like a high rate of fires given that plant opened at the end of 2020. I wonder what to total cost.

I was on a run last night and noticed the glow. How many times has that battery plant caught fire? Seems like grid scale battery technology is not ready for the lime light. AB 2514…

I didn’t assert causation. Does Iowa have the same heavy handed government regulations to strictly build out renewables and take non renewable power plants offline? I agree with yo…

I guess this is what paying $0.72/KWh during peak gets you.

What even IS ai generated content? Does the MS paint color fill feature count? Why not? Does source code need to be audited? This won’t scale.

Agreed, some are easy to classify like nude content, but what about a website about war history, that content is simultaneously factual and explicit. This is why I say its up to th…

This is a very complex problem. Its not just social media, but porn and other content that is not intended for young eyes. One issue I have is with the age verification system. Thi…

Outcomes change as the needs of the municipality change. Members get voted in and out. Do you think there is a misalignment between the city council and the constituents? Or is thi…

I think most municipalities see growth as a general good. The issue starts when the cost of growth starts to outweigh the benefits. Roads/water/utilities/waste management are all m…

That’s an interesting and hostile take given we are all coerced into paying state taxes.

I don’t understand how more state control is preferable. I live in California and the state government is not very in tune to the needs of my locality and seems very corrupt. Some …

I feel like class status trends with age in the US. The younger folks have had less time to acquire assets. The older folk who worked hard and invested wisely are benefiting from s…

Neato! My main concern is reliability of this type of service. Given the boom/bust cycle of crypto I have my hesitations. Anyway to download a file via curl? I wouldn't mind settin…

I think the better question is, Which entity can better allocate the capital? The government or the billionaire? Given the historic track record of government spending I would argu…

I don't like how diversity seems to default to racial diversity. The diversity I like is more perspective based. Someone willing to challenge my assumptions, constraints, and train…

Hmmm. Changes the scope of public view with a bird eye view. Begs a bigger question about property ownership and airspace. How high off the land you own is yours? Is flying a drone…

Oh the unintended consequences of government regulations. CAFE and Section 179 incentivize larger vehicles, so the market reacts rationally and fills that demand. P.S. I love small…

In the US it is against code to have any regular appliance use more than 15 amps continuously I believe

Wow. That is a scary view. Who should we eliminate then? I really hope climate genocide won’t become a thing…

I get that, but why use income as a proxy for complex tax items? A W2 that takes home 400k using standard deduction for example is easier than someone self employed with several de…

Agreed, but I don't see this as a service as much as a tool to perform a mandatory task. I don't WANT to do my taxes, I am forced to. At least don't deny me a tool because I pay th…

What I don't understand about these programs is the added income clause. In California the state provides a free tool to file state income taxes (CalFile), but you can't use it if …
