I think you are correct, and that may be an opportunity.

Excuse me, but I believe using a google website to get to content negates the whole discussion over how to prevent webscale surveillance by advertising companies. In other words, if your "solution" to the problem as outlined in th

There is no evidence, just innuendo, raw emotion, and pure discounting of personal responsibility. Many seem to want all the perceived benefits of FB, but none of the costs. Just to be clear, I don't use, nor like FB.

It is possible this random person on HN was using PGP, so I don't think it's fair to use "every single" verbiage as it is clearly hyperbole.

I think something shady was going on with the company formally known as Axciom: "On May 14, 2014, Acxiom announced that it had acquired LiveRamp, a data onboarding company, for $310 million. LiveRamp was founded in 2011 as a spinout o

We aren't but you all acting like snowflakes over DVs is absurd, and you're replying to a 25-day old account. I don't give a shit at all about this drama; my preference is that you contain your meltdowns to reddit.

My grandfather was born in the 1890's in what was then called Indian Territory (aka Oklahoma). He refused to go to the doctor for his entire life. He had a heart attack at ~70 and died a week later in the hospital. No procedures, drugs

Sorry for the off-topic (and cyberstalking :), but that blog post about Instagram's acquisition by FB? It has not aged well, but would be interesting with an update 6 years later.

For those of us that are far away and oblivious, can you elaborate and cite your sources. Your claim seems plausible, even if missing the word 'vote,' but I can't evaluate without more evidence.

For anyone with a stoic, scientific understanding there is a point where both beings become equal during gestation. This probably occurs somewhere around 20 weeks. However, <2% of abortions are had after this time. It is a necessary evil

What if one were to run one of these "privacy-enhanced blockchain"s from a VPS (paid for with these same anonymized tokens)? In case it's not clear, I'm earnestly asking this question

Are these C++-based browser improvements being made public? Is this a library?

I don't have a dog in this fight, but you are being extremely rude.

While I haven't listened to your linked episode, 'privacy laws' by definition come into direct conflict with the 1st amendment (i.e. free speech) to the U.S Constitution.

Please don't take offense: Just FYI, 'wanna' is a contraction of 'want to,' so writing 'wanna to' is redundant.

This a text book example of moving the goal posts, and I don't care to see it on HN. Android obviously allows more freedom to app developers than Apple, including the freedom to raid the cookie jar numerous ways. Your original claim wa

>Right now you have the powerful choosing the narrative and the little guy being crushed So, Trump, a billionaire and POTUS, with Republican majorities in both houses is a victim/ little guy? As a conservative this makes no sense.

I find it rather depressing that you would be espousing regulations that hurt freedom (of Google, in this case). Please rethink your logic here.

As a republic, governed by the US Constitution, the 1st Amendment is clearly written to prevent such stupidity. I can't believe this is even being entertained on HN.

by 18pfsmt 8y ago
I agree with you in this case, but you shouldn't refer to your parent as a troll when they are a long-term participant on HN. I believe there is good faith in this this argument and there is no good reason to be rude.

Can you say more about the stack you are building? Are we talking open source? What language are you writing this in?

Obviously, you know one cannot sue a protocol or TheFappening torrent would not be available. That seems to be a strength: censorship resistance. But, it does have its downsides.

Much like many projects on github have a "deploy to heroku" perhaps Linode or DO could make deploying a Mastodon instance as simple. There would need to be a good admin panel UI, as you said (manage federation links, users, blackl

Treaties have to be ratified by the US Congress, and I doubt relinquishing sovereignty was ever in the cards (no matter who is president).
