I can't find any kind of privacy policy on your site. (I did try a fake requirement in "Gen Z" mode and did laugh at how accurate the generated card was!)

Are you talking about .17 HMR? That round does have a very flat trajectory, but it’s illegal to hunt deer in some states because it isn’t lethal and won’t penetrate vital organs (just like .22 rimfire.) .17 HMR is primarily used for sho

You know uBO installs just fine in Orion by Kagi⁽¹⁾ (which is in the regular App Store) and that it has a much better privacy policy,⁽²⁾ right? Fuck yeah. ⁽¹⁾ https://kagi.com/orion/ ⁽²⁾ https://help.kagi.

TikTok users should’ve been posting/begging non-stop for ByteDance to sell their U.S. operations once the law passed. That’s all the law was asking for. ByteDance chose not to, and now everybody thinks the U.S. is banning apps “just

Are you sure? The Pentagon doesn’t like much of anything to be known about its satellites. The Vera Rubin Observatory will likely make awkward eye contact with some of them. Many of them are telescopes in their own right, but instead of ti

Anytime I see “P2P”, I assume a STUN server is involved because of the ubiquitous nature of NAT with IPv4. I read such claims as meaning that the tool itself does not require dedicated servers or persistent storage for its core functionalit

Debunking Howard Zinn ⁽¹⁾ doesn’t get nearly enough “publicity” (for lack of a better word), especially considering how much A People’s History of the United States is “pushed”. ⁽¹⁾ https://www.regnery.com/9781684511525&#

FWIW, for some context of “160,000 light-years away”, you can see pictures — taken by all levels of “backyard astronomers” — of the Large Magellanic Cloud (where WOH G64 is located) on AstroBin . http://app.astrobin.com/sea

That’s referring to a pitch deck from a marketing company and there is no hard evidence of it being anything more than marketing nonsense to drive sales. Anything using the mic (on iOS at least) to “listen for keywords” would trigger the “g

Absolutely no disrespect intended at all . Thank you for your service. Perhaps I should have said “basic training” instead of “the military” because that’s the context I was thinking of.

Consumers don’t hate ads. HN readers hate ads. Given the choice, most people prefer ads to paying more to not have ads. FAST (free ad-supported TV) is taking over (again). It’s comparable to how a contingent of HN readers think there is a p
