Despite the article's inane attempts to link this to sex crimes, I see nothing wrong with this. Housing and feeding prisoners is a huge drain on society; a prisoner who alleviates that drain absolutely deserves a more humane experience

DNS exists for more than just http and email too. I reckon you should learn more about how the technology works before telling other people how to run their lives and dispose of their private property. Or maybe... Just don't do those t

This comment is what really worries me about domain name disputes. You seem to be under the impression that http is the only use for DNS, and you are very very wrong.

This could probably be spun as a violation of the cfaa. IANAL, but the practical interpretation of that seems to be "don't do bad stuff using a computer", kind of like mail fraud but worse.

by belovedeagle 10y ago
IANAL either, but the author seems to have missed the point of the "I don’t know my password it is in a password manager which I can’t access" one (or, indeed, the blank device — but this one has numerous advantages). Yes, this wi

But since no one bothered to assert their rights (I'm sure it would have been mentioned), we'll never know how a court might have interpreted the situation (or whether the agents would have done the right thing and backed down - b

WHAT?! NO! TRUMPIST LIES, ALL OF IT! Everyone knows that gerrymandering is the only way Republicans ever get any votes — really they should get zero!

Would it even matter if there's precedent? Why shouldn't the White House get to choose who can attend events of any kind?

Since Cloudflare is a business partner of HN, perhaps it's best not to censor criticism of them...?

Memory safe languages aren't a panacea. There could just as easily have been a bug in the compiler or standard library with the same result.

.It doesn't make sense for people to riot at all, and since it's doubtful that very many of those students have actually earned that tuition money instead of it being granted to them (temporarily) for free, they probably don&#x2

Do you have any evidence to back up the outrageous claim that the rioters at Berkely weren't primarily its student body? Or is that just what you heard on CNN and chose to believe unquestioningly?

So you reckon than in less than 24 hours the senator has completed a thorough investigation and also had time to draft a bill? Or maybe is it the case that this work has been ongoing for months...?

I salute your fortitude. I must admit I commented here despite not being able to make it more than halfway through the article before giving up.

What an idiotic hit piece. You don't have to be a big fan of 4chan to see most of not all of the "information" in this "article" is completely fabricated by the author. Even the title reveals the ridiculous conspira

What does the searching of devices at the border have to do with presidential administrations? This policy has been in place for years (from the article).

WTF? Pick any comment in any HN thread and it's likely that the poster is doing ideological battle! But of course... the difference is that those accounts are doing battle for the righteous side, the left.

You've got cause and effect backward: degrees didn't start "requiring" loans because they became overpriced; they became overpriced because loans were available.

50 TB of SSDs could fit in jacket pockets. If the chips were removed from the boards or at least the plastic enclosures, they'd be unrecognizable. Or 100 512GB micro SD cards which are available to consumers; say 5 a day for a month...

No, no, you weren't paying attention. The (D)s aren't our enemies; they're the smug hypocrites who are or will soon be completely inconsequential in American politics, and who (to our immense amusement) haven't accepted
