What's funny about this article is that it seems to focus on the Republic without addressing any of his other dialogues. What about the aporetic dialogs where there are no clear answers? What about his Parmenides where he rips to s

I would prefer that they either stay small, or if they try to grow, do so without sacrificing their customer support system. American companies, startups in particular, have terrible support. It's really nice to have actual contact w

I thought the point of the movie was to claim that Vermeer was nothing special, and Tim's effort to recreate the painting was supposed to prove that. I think the galleries would disagree with that point, otherwise they would not care w

I highly recommend against watching the movie. The main figure, Tim Jenison, comes off as an arrogant know-it-all, reducing art to a technique, and insulting people along the way. In the movie, multiple times he said "I have never do

> Spamming random employees gov e-mails on the internet is a disservice to tax payers money to put it lightly. They aren't random, they are DOGE employees. And at the moment, we don't even know what the role of DOGE is in the

It's not personal information, and it's not random people. It is the government email addresses of government employees, and yes, that should be public, as is the case for all other government employees at every level. If it were

But your partner's government contact info (name and email) is already accessible, either via a government website or via FOIA. The issue here is that the DOGE employee info was not accessible before, and 2600 is being penalized for

I actually submitted this two days ago, as you can see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=aestetix I wonder why it's showing "2 hours ago" and it's now showing up.

Geez. It seems like the only way to get health insurance in the US that actually helps you get health care is to get elected to Congress.

Yeah, I'm definitely not in favor of amateur detectives tossing around half-baked allegations. I do find it interesting that despite the massive multi-million dollar dragnet surveillance apparatus, this guy was apparently able to get a

Maybe now they will change their stupid pricing plan and let people pay monthly. Edit: I did not see before that Sid had cancer. I send him wishes for a good recovery!

Setting aside religious discussion, what I found interesting is that the shroud has a lot of things that we simply cannot explain. For example, we have been unable to replicate the image as it exists (I think he said 200 nm thick), using hi

I find it interesting that all of the arguments seem to be about the merits of whether pushing this on everyone is good or not, and they all take for granted that personal freedom does not matter anymore. I dislike not being able to choose

Passport/ID document expiration dates are decided by law. Therefore it is in fact "the government." Do you think there should be a law limiting the lifetime duration of an SSL cert to 45 days?

by aestetix 2y ago
Also in this case, "safety" can be defined as protecting American companies from lawsuits while ensuring they continue to make lots of money from extorting SSL certificate sales.

Safety at the expense of personal freedom to choose for yourself? What if I do not want the "safety" that these "large companies" claim to provide?

by aestetix 2y ago
So large companies are now government agencies?

by aestetix 2y ago
What happened to personal freedom of letting people choose for themselves how long a certificate should last? Not really liking this trend of large companies making decisions for others and then forcing them on everyone.
