First post is by the same person? They also made the leading statement ...

A topic on the US and you managed to turn it into a diatribe about the UK...

Does this allow Microsoft to work around Apple app store restrictions on running interpreted code?

Nuance there is that the legitimacy in the form of line of succession has been governed by law too (and no doubt conquest historically) at least following the glorious revolution o…

No it doesn't. I am an atheist and I do not believe the King is ordained by any form of deity. I look past that and support the constitutional monarchy settlement on the grounds of…

Another side of this story: https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/17/thousands-condemn-extinction-... This feels like a partisan hatchet job. There is a balance. Freedom of protest does not …

1Password is E2E encrypted no with decryption/encryption happening only at the edge? If the cloud storage is compromised, that doesn't mean the attacker can read the passwords?

My understanding is that Maya wasn't a total rewrite, it bolted together parts of Power Animator and Wavefront together with a new architecture.

Thanks! As I thought. Long lived sticky foreground notifications tend to annoy folks from my experience. Have you seen complaints?

AFAIK Modern Android (>= 8.0) reserves the right to kill your app when running in the background unless there's a foreground toast bound (even then, can still be killed in low memo…

Is another low tech way simply print screening the redacted image + cropping? Naturally you will lose resolution if the OS/app is downsampling the image to render but could be good…

Thanks for asking! I am not super optimistic in the short/medium term (5+ years) at least. There are clear structural headwinds which anyone would be foolish to deny. This doesn't …

UK issued one million Visas last year: https://workpermit.com/news/uk-visas-issued-one-million-peop... New Visas are being introduced for skilled/semi skilled: https://aristonesoli…

Another day, another anti UK/doomer post on HN. Folks have touched upon this already but a real issue is the chattering classes can simply not get over Brexit. Everything is seen t…

Not sure. In the devolved administrations, Scotland in particular, my understanding is they locked down for longer with more restrictions and actually had higher death rates (other…

The vitriol in the position. Possessing such a negative exaggerated view point is not healthy and doesn't help discourse. UK has challenges yes, but it has a lot of good to offer t…

This is such a total hit piece with all the right bingo hot words and themes: Brexit, "Island mentality", "Not European", "Sun has set on Britannia", "Pirate roots" (?) to name a f…

What are you insinuating would have been the better approach here? It sound like you would have wanted harder lockdowns and/or pursue a zero Covid strategy?

In the Anglosphere, it feels that many of our institutions have been captured by activists. A small minority who push an agenda and are able to silence (consciously or subconscious…

You are coming across here as a terrible elitist. Language is unnecessary. Referring to people as the "unwashed masses" and then a comparison to chimpanzees. In the context, this r…

In perception polls on xenophobia across Europe, UK scores very well. Here is a report from the EU from 2019: https://fra.europa.eu/sites/default/files/fra_uploads/fra-20...

First I've heard of them. They come across as incredibly hostile and over the top. "Human rights are in peril, and so are British businesses". Tell that to the folks in Ukraine. Th…

I have noticed an unhealthy obsession and inability to move on. I speak from someone who would have voted to remain. Yes it wasn't perhaps my choice, but trying to relive the resul…

What are you suggesting here? That the UK wants to unwind the Common Travel Agreement? The NI situation is very loaded, it doesn't helpful such a fragile situation with a "UK is ba…

Isn't this a larger issue with France's voting system? Isn't residency status more democratic than citzenship based requirements?
