Parent comment is perhaps a little strongly worded, but I don’t see it as suggesting brain washing. Is teaching about public health or sex education brain washing? Is teaching calculus brain washing? Why would teaching about the impact we h

ArchiveTeam is discussing archival efforts I think, but I doubt they'd be able to get all of it, it's a pretty big dataset (several PB, I think). It sounds like youtube-dl tooling works with soundcloud though, so you could write a

Well, I joined your Patreon. You should add it to your HN profile page too, it wasn't there when I looked.

You sound very sure of this, what's your source? As far as I've read, the iCloud backups have always been encrypted at rest, and Apple is apparently working on improving it to the point where they do not hold any decryption keys t

I strongly disagree. Your comment shows a very common view among us techies that being a member of "tech-competent demographic", is somehow a badge of honor, or at least of accomplishment. It's an accomplishment to be sure, b

Fixing heath care would certainly work, but that seems nearly unachievable with the current political system (recall that even ACA that is so vilified was largely based on Republican plans in the first place). Though I suppose civil rights

Do you mean the idea of social security, or the current specific implementation?

I feel like the US needs another "New Deal" type of program. I understand the dangers of inflation when money is printed indiscriminately with no value produced to back it. What I still fail to grasp is whether there are such dang

Agreed on all points. But my post was really intended to ask people for smaller scale ideas than "fix entire health care system" which seems nearly unachievable, and larger ideas than "donate what you can when you hear from s

The opposition does not oppose climate because they are anti-environment. In their minds, as I understand, climate change is a _pretext_ for more government control, taxes, and intrusion, and those are indeed reasons that make the people di

In my case, that would frequently be 200+ images in the background tabs. Not as cheap as a blank page. For me, the title, favicon and URL are plenty to identify the page, I think it's a good tradeoff.
