Not throwing it away is a win though. It's the throwing it away that is the problem. Not having a phone in the first place is the best for the environment. Failing that, having someone else reuse that phone is best. Only if all else fa

In fairness, the claim is that all the Iranians are offering their own lives for the poster's goals. Of course, that only brings us to, "It's easy to claim others are offering their lives for your goals." I guess it&#x

Maybe I should have been more clear? These are the points in the proposal that the Iranians/pakistanis sent to Trump that Trump said formed the basis for the ceasefire. Which it doesn’t. There is nothing there for us. It doesn’t matter

But everyone still pays them right? I mean that's the deal. Why would I want to be paying them if you're, at the same time, telling me they don't have the muscle to make me pay? Why is anyone paying Iran anything if we won?

I'm likely misunderstanding what you're trying to say. Can you elaborate on how, exactly, ships would be able to evade the toll booth, if they have to pay the toll in any case? Because on the surface of it, it sounds to me like Ir

Not really worried about the Chinese. As was pointed out, they just hang a sword of damocles over the head of every entrepreneur and engineer who even thinks about doing something like that. What about power banks from India? Vietnam? Malay

That's awesome for consumers in China. What about the rest of us? That kind of fraud is oftentimes only a fine in many other nations.

This. The belief of business users that this will remain true is grounded more in hope than in cold, dispassionate, business based decision making. If it's not life or death, encrypt every byte of data you send to the cloud. If it is l

To be fair, we don't really have the capacity to run satellite surveillance on each and every target we select to engage in a sneak attack. I think sometimes people watch hollywood movies and get the impression that it represents a kin

This analysis is insane. No one is invading China. Coupled or de-coupled is a completely irrelevant consideration. People think MAGA are crazy, but no one is suicidal. A war with China would be over in a matter of hours. And anyone who did

I feel like in some cases we should be using virtual machines. Especially in domains where risk is non-trivial. How do you change developer and user habits though? It's not as easy as people think.

by bilbo0s 7mo ago
Not at all. But now that I know that you know a bit about ATC. Let's drop the pretense. We're both fully aware that there are right around 1250 ATC controllers in New York state. I further suspect that both of us know exactly how

by bilbo0s 7mo ago
Do you know how many towered facilities there are in New York state? 32. Let's assume only 260 ATC for 32 towers. (Not true, but again, we're being friendly to the conspiracy nuts.) We'll further assume every tower is staffed

Heck the first version of MacOS X on that titanium power book that flopped up and down like a 5 and a quarter inch floppy was maddening. To say Tahoe is the worst only reveals how few of the releases of MacOS X the poster actually used.

Italian fascists did have fashion forward uniforms. So did the German Nazis back then now I think about it. Maybe there is something with cult-like thinking, fascist or not, where the aesthetics seduces more people into wanting to be a part

I think I have to agree with HN User Blell here. I mean, the NFL, at root, is in the business of entertainment also, and it makes more than Hollywood as well all in. But why would Hollywood care?

He's trying to prevent poor people from voting. Requiring poor people to pay a hefty fee, which they probably don't have, to get a passport seems a fairly competent way to go about making sure poor people don't vote to me. If

Under the SAVE act, you kind of have to have a passport or don't vote in some states. Which is why I'm pretty sure it's not gonna pass. Both republicans and democrats depend heavily on mass votes from, let's just say, a
