First, dark mode is for people who set their screen brightness too high. Second, win32 is designed with the ability to change all the default colors and you used to be able to do this by right clicking the desktop and selecting "proper

People see that CRDTs have no conflicts and proclaim them as the solution to all problems, not seeing that some problems inherently have conflicts and either can't be represented by CRDTs at all, or that the use of CRDTs resolves confl

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Same logic - if correct - would give Iran the moral right to first strike the US.

Not really. You couldn't get the network effect. Real hackers hang out on IRC.

If a chronological social media feed contains both R and G rated elements how would you implement that?

The California law is the one where parents select how old their child is and apps must respect that as a child lock.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations?

What happens to a society where one class extracts payment from another class but the payment only flows in one direction and eventually the latter class doesn't have it, and outnumbers the former class?

> filtering those devices' network requests at the network gateway, or filtering one hop up onto the provider's infrastructure These things are not possible with any reliability, we spent two decades encrypting everything.

ZKPs don't buy anything, since an online service can sell them by the thousand and you're just trusting the client that it belongs to the actual user. You might as well just do "User-Age-Category: 18plus" then and save a

Maybe we shouldn't hide the information then, so they can make their own decisions. Imagine blocking all the information about "am I actually trans or just peer pressured?" but not blocking the peer pressure.

How would you make a website that can be over 18 or not, such as a social media feed? Would it become over 18 as soon as your following list contains a porn star (who may not have been one at the time you followed them), and then if you&#x2

Would the content rating be per HTML element and the browser would delete the elements with bad ratings from the DOM, or how would it work?

Some of them clearly are - the one in California.

The law is irrelevant in that case but the actual situation is not. If people have never put their personal information online, the bad government can't get it from online. A new phone coming out during the time of the bad government,

There are many people rights people don't have and they're okay with that and even support not having the right to stab people, not having the right to steal from a store, not having the right to take nude pictures of children...

HN is mostly for people with entrepreneur spirit, not hacker spirit - entrepreneurs who want to be known as hackers. The difference is vast.

Does the admin of the small website hypothetically agree that they don't want to show gore to children?

And drawbacks, too. Imagine if you could only dox someone else by doxxing yourself at the same time.

Is it the ultimate result of LLM use? People internalising the idea that writing is about stringing words together like a Markov chain without realising they're not saying anything of substance?

No. Many great scientists worked for decades to discover atoms, and they were controversial at the time. Now you read about them in primary school books.

What if their goal is more to raise awareness about HN moderation practices than to fix the problem quickly? It's certainly worked. Lots of people have seen this and now have a slightly worse opinion of HN moderation.

The person at the store has direct contact with the broken device, this is a much shorter feedback loop than telling you what to do, having you misinterpret it, having you read back the results, and then misinterpreting them.

I implemented RTMP recently. It's not a file transfer protocol like HTTP/FTP/Gopher. It's a pile of hacks designed for transferring a live stream between Adobe Flash Player and a compatible server (in either direction).
