There have been protests in countries that do not “fund” Israel too, so it’s not about funding only. The protests have also been against the Israeli government so you’d anticipate at least protests against the Iranian government if not agai

I mean, they say it’s not censorship when it’s not the government doing it even when the government has embeds with “suggestions” ala facebook, twitter and reddit somewhere around 2020…

I wonder where all the TikTok videos are about all the tanks and hotel shoot outs in Beijing over the last week or so are… where various party factions fought it out over control of the central committee and you have the disappearance of va

Indeed but also odd that quitters are citing "updated terms" for their exit but those terms mirror terms from 2024 -i.e. collecting the same information as before... I think that means that they weren't paying much attention

From a world domination point of view fragmentation is bad. On the other hand heterogeneity is good for choice and freedom as at least on paper if one platform kicks you off due to whatever curbs on freedom, you have alternative choices. H

The UK is building/has built a surveillance state using the boiling frog method. So even if you change vendors, surveillance will continue. You have accepted it as par for the course. Unless you reject it and subsequent politicians

They’re both institutions but one wants recognition and nice buildings the other wants to be an immutable archive unlike Wikipædia which curates and memory holes issues that don’t align with its thinking. The other one just marches on witho

I can see it now, if you have a European Hacker news, you'll have a bunch of people complaining about how Europe isn't the world and admonish posters to not be so eurocentric on the site --that other people besides Europeans would

They have many questions to answer. How do they skirt the NPT? If they rely on the UK --which is not an EU country, or even if they rely on France, who makes the call, who has authority and what happens when some country tells France &quot

People/users have an option to keep the key themselves. Most wouldn’t bother to manage encryption keys.

As if that will stop surveillance and data collection and summonses for the hoi polloi for saying mean things about their elected officials… They’ll just hire someone else to do the data collection and analysis for them. It’d be awesome if

People are saying that the interjection interpretation is influenced by its use as interjection in Shakespeare’s time. By that time what/hwæt was being used differently than the way it was when Beowulf was authored hundreds of years b

One thing that helped zoom was the unrigid licensing at the time. You could oversubscribe and figure out POs later. If you didn’t need a whole suite of software & services it was less painful. Also they supported hardware that was eas

Japan seems to have gotten there; in their case quite a bit is due to population decrease though. That’s probably viable in advanced economies but not in growing economies.

Agree that this is very annoying and I can’t imagine taking calls much less having discussions while on the toilet.

German intelligence thinks so… maybe they’re garbage. Also “the island” and “the guardian” maybe they’re garbage when they report on this but not on other things.

Don’t give governments bad ideas —surely the treaty will collapse one day and the big powers will divvy it up and push out the has been powers from the playground… but let’s keep things as they are as long as possible.

Europe had Ukraine sabotage (according to European reports) its gas lines and gave it more weapons as a reward… so I guess the answer is that it’s complicated.

In fairness that sounds like extending capabilities of something that already exists. For personal use that should be okay. For commercial use, that would run afoul of IP -unless we’re talking about open source, though even then you might

It’s a diverse sample of many kinds of countries with a diverse set of cultures and and governance and yet they all control entry into their countries.

Are there countries where people of any other country can enter without controls outside of those who form a union to control ingress from non-union members? Like can I just get a plane ticket and stay indefinitely in Peru, Russia, UK, Cuba

If the ABAG had power, I would have them replace Caltrain with BaRT to make a it a loop around the SF/SP Bay Area and tear out CalTrain. Caltrain remains because the tracks are used by UP --if it were not UP's right-of-way, BaRT

One aspect is that there has been little coverage by the media about these protests that have been going on for close to a couple of weeks and two, presumably the Iranian regular forces are repressing their protestors. People in the US are
