Please stop your obvious trolling. This contributes negative value to both the HN and Rust communities.

You're definitely right, I should have done that instead. I reached out after seeing your post last night and it appears that the mods have removed the flag from the original post.…

I'm not trying to split the discussion, the original post should clearly not be flagged. Also, I've never seen a post organically fall off the front page in less then 3 hours with …

Already flagged off the front page twice even though there are lots of upvotes: https://archive.org/details/60minutes-cecotsegment

On the Qt side, it looks like Qt clients are able to survive a compositor crash since Qt 6.6. I haven't personally tried this, as I don't recall experiencing any kwin crashes in th…

Forcing brick-and-mortar stores to show a higher price including tax than that shown by online stores seems like it would have some unintended consequences. It would likely push mo…

I doubt adding paywalls and more 3rd parties will help reverse the trend of rising healthcare costs. But also, just why? Why not keep this information that our tax dollars have alr…

I agree with what you say here, but think there is more to it than just Trump himself. A complicit media, key backers in congress, and the courts went a long way to sanitizing his …

Yes this has been planned for a while. But accelerating the existing schedule by 4 or 5 years would almost certainly result in a large increase to the existing $843 million dollar …

So he is going to accelerate the existing $843 million dollar contract for free? If not, that sure sounds like a conflict of interest to me.

Do you give the same benefit of the doubt to the 10s of thousands of civil servants who have already been abruptly fired without cause? Do you assume that they are capable and prod…

What specifically about the article do you dispute?

Well RH is already locked into this level of maintenance support for existing RHEL releases. By dropping Xorg support now, they can fully drop this effort in a decade plus. If they…

Chrome now has the same 4 week release cycle as well [1], so they will probably continue to stay close. I know Firefox sometimes adds a week to their cycle due to holidays (especia…

Do you honestly believe that the name Planned Parenthood is confusing to the point of being intentionally deceptive?

I believe these patches can be upstreamed, even under a pseudonym. Per a recent clarification of their policy: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... "usin…

> I'm discussing the hypocrisy in advocating for the principle only when it suits you. Maybe the difference is that not everyone agrees with your expansive definition of the princi…

I'm really not following your argument here. It seems like you are saying that free speech is an important principle more expansive than what is currently codified in the constitut…

Even if we ignore the legal distinction here, you seem to be arguing that it is fine to abandon this principle in this particular case. You've even framed this as "[T]he left is ma…

It's almost as if the constitution binds the Florida government while not binding businesses like Twitter. It isn't strange at all when you don't conflate two different concepts. I…

What exactly is Disney's transgression here? This seems to stem from a single statement about a single bill. Is there more to this? Otherwise this seems completely disproportionate…

This is complete nonsense. I can easily think of an example from the past week where a Republican controlled state is attacking transgender children and their parents to score poli…

It is reporting "not affected" for me on Firefox stable and nightly. It does show a list of domains at the bottom that it would check if the brower was exploitable.

The election was on Tuesday November 3rd, and Pfizer announced their results on Monday November 9th. They were only notified of the results the previous day. https://www.nytimes.co…
