Making a petition to change the laws sounds like a great way of achieving nothing. It will certainly not mean you get to ignore the court orders. Shutting down public DNS in France would be an option (a garbage option that nobody would actu

Uh, there's nothing in your link about a government ordering Google to block Twitter? Since you say this is a common occurence, I'm guessing it'll be easy for you to find a source that actually supports your claim.

They did fight it in court. They lost. I'm surprised you're so keen on having big tech companies intentionally ignore court orders and just break the law. Like, it's obviously something none of us should want.

I'm surprised Amazon's legal team signed off on this. It's clearly against the GitHub terms of service[0], and Amazon employees acting on the instructions from Amazon had to approve those terms. It seems pretty much identical

Thanks! And it's not so much about proof, it's about the details. For example the $300/month discount for a much longer transition period seems like pretty relevant context.

Then I think they should submit the email (e.g. in a pastebin or Google doc or something). Not misrepresent the contents of this page. First, editorializing the submission titles is against HN policies. Second, it'd let us see the actu

How is the submitted article related to the headline? There's no claim of a "24hr notice" there, just that new sponsorships aren't being accepted.

As far as I can tell from contemporary sources, Pixel 1 launched with a promise of two years of major releases + one additional year of security updates [0]. This was in October 2016. They exceeded that, and actually did three years of majo

This is very incomplete, as you can easily see by switching to the aerial photo base map but keeping the tree overlay[0]. You'll see a ton of trees that are not marked. I'm guessing it's only city-owned trees, or something li

Creators aren't paid some flat fee per view. They're paid a revenue share. By blocking the ads, you're already making sure the creators won't get paid for your views, and they lose nothing when you watch fewer of their v

It probably triggered the flamewar detector (a lot of comments, not a lot of upvotes). Not surprising given what a horrible title the other post has.

Sure, sure. I'm sure you'd have valuable things to post in threads about those services. But you still haven't written a word about this service , it's just repeating the same completely generic complaint that gets post

Why do you think that lawsuit has anything to do with the text you quoted? They seem totally unrelated.

How is it a practical question? You're taking on no long-term dependency by using this service. You'd use it to find a data set you need, and then use that data set. If the service were to go away tomorrow, you're still bette

The joke is repetitive and low effort. When will you have more original material? Spamming that meme is particularly ludicrous in this case though, given it's a tool that's already been around for six years . That's probably

That's called a conurbation. I think it's how most of the mega-cities in the world outside of North America formed in practice. For a case with no primary core, have a look at the Ruhr area.

Something is wrong with your numbers. PlayStation revenue is $29B/year. Xbox should be somewhere in the $15B/year range after the Activision purchase. Nintendo is $12B/year. Each of those alone is more than $8.5B, let along c

The full bisection taking just a day doesn't seem compatible with the parameters of the story. Three weeks of FreeBSD changes seems to be about 500 commits. That's about 9 bisection steps. At two steps / day (the best you can

Not really, it just assumes that the bisection process is automated. But also, I addressed exactly this objection in the second paragraph :)

The government can claim pretty much whatever they want. But given that the judge ruled against them , maybe you shouldn't just take those claims at face value? They had 18 months to come up with a concrete damage claim, and had to do

You shouldn't use Show HN for an article or blog post. See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html I suspect the suggestion was made due to you talking about books originally, which (given a sample chapter) are the on

Thanks. I should definitely get around to adding a confirmation for skip. The double letter problem is less clear. I've made that same mistake myself, but the the fix of using the other identical letter only works unambiguously when th

Very cool! The physics seem very different from classing pong / arkanoid physics, where the angle is determined by which part of the paddle was hit. Instead it seems like it's maybe totally random within a fairly small cone around

This is a funny discussion, because "structuring" has a very specific meaning when it comes to finance. It's about executing your financial transactions in a way that avoids regulatory scrutiny (for example sizing transaction

Hi. The difference intentional, but I could easily be convinced that it's the wrong decision. Here's the thinking: Basically if you allow deep-linking into the daily, they kind of stop being a daily puzzle. They'll also confu
