I mean we could argue that a different material would solve the problem too, although yeah just making it longer also solves the problem and makes more sense.

I'm assuming it's automated so that after a certain number of flags it's removed for manual review. Whether it should or shouldn't be flagged is up to HN readers. Whether it stays is for the moderators.

Is there anything we can do to have it reviewed? I fully understand HN's opposition to politics, specifically US politics. But I think this is a decent exception as it's a report directly from the justice department, not some BS o

Yeah I noticed that too. Best guess is they assigned some random "tech guy" to "put it online" and they must not have a standard for this kind of document? Doesn't seem like it's a good choice as surely that&#x

Literally most of the redactions say "Harm on Ongoing Matter", so my best guess is that releasing them would hurt currently running investigations?

I work in phone repair so I see lots of broken phones and many rather... uh, not that bright of individuals. This will 100% be a problem for consumers. It's easily recognizable as a screen protector, but it isn't = instant problem

Counterpoint, If there's a known terrorist named "James Williams" and you flag everyone with that name going through the airport, yes you are going to be HIGHLY correlated with males, but the feature wasn't chosen by gen

If the situation is as described, then I would agree with the idea that this shouldn't be treated as an "issue". Discrimination's common definition has the negative connotation, but in this case, it seems to legitimately

I don't want to challenge how you decide who to hire. I just wanted to voice my point of view here. I have a terrible sense of "what looks nice" off the bat, have depression, anxiety, possibly on the spectrum according to my

They get to launch* their own stuff for only the rocket cost, that part is fine. I mean if they have Boeing, NASA, etc. as paying customers at a standard $X they can't just go "Well Google you're launching a competitor to us

Google anything news related, you'll see the symbol next to the URL you click, and you'll notice it loads rather quickly too.

I'm not too sure about this, given the highly limited market options and high regulation of space travel, I'm guessing they'd be hit with anti-trust laws pretty quickly.

Eh, I agree that it really depends on the job/area/people/etc, not the default everywhere for sure, I'd interview without a suit and just nice dress clothes. Anyway, the point remains the same though, tattoos are still e

That's with their rate limiting to fast.com (Netflix). Speedtest.net (with Verizon hosted servers) was at a very consistent 50mbps/4.5mbps which would make sense for my unlimited plan. Please note that speedtest.net is REALLY not

They love to when customers pay for it! ;) They spend massive amounts of money on marketing, at that doesn't benefit the product at all.

I want to see DOOM running on just the network stack, but with raytracing because.

That's all correct, the higher frequency suffers from worse object penetration. Solutions I've heard was that 5G would likely involve neighborhood or even building repeaters. IMO 5G is massively overhyped. My iPhone 7+ isn't

I agree with that, the US poses a much greater realistic threat with my data. However I'm also more confident in our government system to have at least some form of recourse. However, I'll counter with the idea that while I as a

> Congrats on being a US citizen. I apologize, I didn't mean to come off as snarky. What I mean is that it's my own country. If I was from say Sweden, I'd likely trust the Swedish government more as a Swedish Citizen.

Depends on who you are. I am absolutely against this kind of surveillance. HOWEVER, as a US citizen I trust the US more with my data (or Germany or, etc.) then China.

Same here, multiple different kinda of diets, eliminating anything I'm allergic to, etc. Not saying it won't help out some people, but at least what I tried didn't help me.

Basic letters and digits aren't too crazy if they have a sufficient environment for it - e.g. materials/attention from parents for learning. My mom's a kindergarten teacher (and has been to some rather low-income schools), th

Last I had checked most platforms don't have much in the way of modifying messages or accessing PM/DMs. What I wanted it for was a timezone converter, so everyone saw the time in their own timezone. Our group is from across NA, so

Before you start blaming Microsoft for this just get some popcorn and read the current threads. Sidenote: Github had these same rules and did ban people long before Microsoft was in the picture. I wouldn't be too quick to conclude Micr

Most likely not, but considering my house would likely be on fire and the hearing damage, I feel a booster would be decent compensation.

Plus assuming the drone is above the tree line and not next to a tall structure, the actual "fireball" should move fairly skyward and not pose much of a fire threat? I'd be more concerned about the falling drone/battery.
