Apparently there's a limit on replies to a thread. But indicating that it's the publisher's content and not yours is not a dangerous line of thought it is the common line of thought through which all copyright which has been

Most websites will accept HTTP and then redirect to https. It's also not really about if you're okay with someone tampering with the content you're reading it's about assurances that the publisher can be reasonably assur

The point of https everywhere isn't just to protect e-commerce or passwords or other potentially private-only information is the concept that everything that you do should remain a private conversation between you and the end host. Bec

Yes it's true you can still get leaded gasoline in some cases and you can still buy lead additive. My point was that it is very rare and for a daily driver it is for more convenient to update than to continue to try and force it to be

This doesn't seem like an HN problem, this seems like you're running an ancient device that's not been updated problem. For the car analogy equivalent this would be you complaining that you still want to drive your 1965 Impal

The impressive thing to me is the level of traction needed to do something like this. It seems they're taking old tricks and building a "sucker car". https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a32350/j

Just leave this guy to do his thing. I get the idea of stopping someone who is doing something unsafe in a manner that can harm other people. Really this guy isn't going to harm anyone else if he fails. Just leave people to do their th

I don't think this quite covers it because it's not just the rising prices. That's expected to happen, it's that prices are rising but these owners keep shoving their hands deeper and deeper in the customers pocket to &q

Your coworkers are in the exact same situation as you and it's reasonable to believe that they also understand the situation as you do. Perhaps they're just not as motivated to get out of it, sometimes people get stuck in position

I've done this when I was younger and it never turns out well. You're essentially burning bridges for personal satisfaction with no real benefit. If you're taking a job in a similar or the same field it is likely you may meet

Only 50k. I guess there's not a monetary value you can put on deprivation of rights and in this case the money comes from tax payers and not as punishment to the officer. What I would really like to know is if the officer was charged

I can see that being a very large gap if it is not easy to see if your files are actually backed up or not. That kind of surprises me a little bit that back blaze doesn't have that but again it's been many years since I've us

It's difficult to make a recommendation when you're not sighting any problems that you're having or new features that you want or think would be valuable. The main criticism you have appears to be able to be summed up as it&

The word is still friend. In English we use that one word and it covers a lot of nuances in meaning. We know it and we're used to it. It's the context of the language. Do we need a bunch of other words to further break down all t

Catalytic converters were mandated by law in the 70's. So if we include the time period of the article mentions the beginning year of 1980 in the comparison of weight, by that time most cars were automatic transmissions and included ai

Would be interesting how they differentiate between AI and algorithm. A human prompts for input and then algorithms provide an output. If I made something with a spirograph, as a simple example, would that qualify as a human creations or

Asbestos in brakes is bad but it's a not really a concern even from. Chinese pads anymore, but there are still lots of harmful things they give off even still. Asbestos is just well known.

So cars from today are not meaningfully bigger than 1980 and prior. I think people have forgotten how big cars were back then. There may be more SUVs and crossovers but these have fulfilled the role of station wagons and full sized vans. T

Agreed, if you're picking the ultra sport option tires for your grocery getter then your ride will suffer, but that's not what I'm referring too. If a customer chooses that, they get what they asked for and shouldn't co

Let's do the math because I'm not sure you understand how tire side wall height works. The Camry, 205 * .65 = 133.25. The BMW 225 * .60 = 135. So your BMW has a whole 1.75 mm more sidewall. Yes I'm absolutely positive that

So much wrong in this article, but some things are correct. First a smaller rim and higher profile tire wouldn't have prevented the problem. Whatever was hit was hard enough to knock a dime-sized hole in his tire. That's almost

These things have always been around. I guess the Internet and 3d printers means that people who weren't inclined to read a book and use a few hand tools now know about them. What the article doesn't say is that while they do work

Maybe this is breaking news to you that supreme Court justices receive gifts but a quick Google search will reveal news articles going back 10 plus years that talk about this. This is well known that supreme Court justices have received gif

Ruth Bader Ginsburg did this as well. Again I didn't see any influence in how she would rule based upon the cases before the court during her time. Just as I don't see it now. It's actually very easy to have evidence if gifts

by elmerfud 3y ago
I think you're missing my point I don't see a reason to investigate the justices. Because these gifts have been known about for a long time but there is never any evidence that they influence. Justices rule extremely consistent ov

It is correct we have seen this but we have never seen this actually occur in the supreme Court. We have seen the gifts be given we have seen them be befriended by certain people. The strange thing is with Court judges they are actually wor

It's interesting that the complaint for scrutiny comes now when loud liberal voices are upset with current rulings. When the rulings favored the liberal agenda there was no calls for scrutiny everything was just fine. Anyone who said a

I also can't imagine who would truly think that. Who's the bigger fool? The fool who said it or the fool who believes it? So it would seem that the different explanation would be the one that I offered. That humans conveniently hi
