I don't understand your comment - the social norms I refer to are paying tax, sending your children to school, integrating with the local community, living in areas/accommodation t…

I think DHH's comments are pretty mild given the subject. However, I think it is how he frames his comments that cause offensive - lumping a (potentially) problematic (arguably) et…

I think DHH's opinion is a very common sentiment in Europe. "Gypsies" are a very European thing. I wonder if there's anything similar in the US? For context for US readers; they ge…

I thought it was very obvious throughout the video what was happening... Rust has compile time checks to enforce some safety. In comparison Fil-C is a lot more memory safe, it's mo…

I think you are concentrating on 'free' too much here. It's not about giving away resources, it's about serving the user. 1. No, a kiosk shouldn't be hooked up to some crime databa…

I think it was trying to find a moral standard that wasn't being set by established places. I think it was showing a level of self-reflection (going through a process of finding yo…

There are no 'unsafe' blocks in Fil-C. I think you trying to conflate 'unsafe blocks' with the fact that there might be compiler errors which might break 'safety'? Which is equally…

I think you should watch the linked presentation, it will show how it is "safer" than rust. Unfortunately there are performance implications, but fil-c seems fast enough to go into…

I can't believe these comments - passkeys are pretty easy to understand and most platforms allow you to add multiple. Not enough for truly one-passkey-per-device, but if you use a …

US politics is cooked. I wonder if polymarket will start taking bets on mid-terms being canceled.

That video is embarrassing. Theo clearly doesn't know what he is talking about at points, and is having a massive crash out for really no reason.

I agree with your sentiment completely. I think there's nuance that a lot of people don't bother with because of tribalism but your take is the one I most align with in this instan…

It doesn't need to expose something as new to point out a causal link? Someone saying that work-life balance means all work and no life, and then producing substandard quality at s…

> Nothing was ever said about the addictive design of mainstream TV - because then the rulers controlled the message being streamed into the brains of the population. More outlandi…

Any evidence what so ever for the "mass control" claim? I do not want E2E comms broken, but these posts on hackernews always bring out such outlandish claims. You can't be applying…

This is extending something that came into affect in 2011.

It already exists. Most CSAM tools are checking against a hash database. Why would you NOT want this to exist? This seems the only method to not raise false positives.

> Blackboxes which scan your messages and photos for anything 3rd party want with undisclosed criteria. Well the criteria is CSAM? Do you have any evidence that these systems have …

This is extending an existing law that expired. Really you should have felt betrayed back in 2011. This isn't Chat Control 2.0 - which is the thing that has been getting attention …

I assume those 400-page EULAs blast away any 'strict restrictions'.

The most obvious answer: to stop CSAM being shared on large platforms. Cloudflare has a tool that does it for some of their services.

Why is it currently illegal? If I have a service that let's users communicate, why is it illegal to look through those communications? (especially after they've signed my 400 page …

> Then forced through through some obscure mechanism bypassing It was extending a recently expired law that has existed since 2011. I don't think your comment is reflecting on what…

> Why do EU citizens tolerate this? Some EU citizens want it? You'd be surprised on the views of some people.

Perhaps the article is biased. The simple fact is that a law that existed since 2011 and expired in April is now back in effect. So we are back where we were on February. I don't r…
