Left up to the states so far. I know WA it falls under voyeurism. https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.44.115 I’ve shot street photography and photojournalistic/documentary work for over a decade now an

Did you leave District 1? Just curious. HCM didn't hit for me until I started getting out of that curated core.

In a similar boat right now. Really enjoy Nim -- and have the freedom to use any language I want at work -- but can't in good conscious develop tools in Nim that have to live beyond my time at the company without at least one other Nim

Really great for studying other languages too. Can quickly go back and relisten to the same section over and over and over again without an ad popping in midway through a listen.

I'd consider myself a "real" soccer fan in the U.S. I watch and support my local club, attend USL games when I travel to cities with teams in the US, and any time I'm internationally traveling I always attend a local mat

Yeah it's all passive location datasets. Financial firms have been buying up defunct apps with location data for years to infer trends. Intelligence firms have been doing the same. Then they package and resell between each other to get

Welcome to the wonderful world of film. I’ve shot almost entirely analog after a short foray trying digital in the late 2000s. With my life so digitally connected I found having the analog process kept the joy in photography for me and I si

Random question: could you suggest some good Italian journalism to follow? Right now I just follow Repubblica and a handful of technology journalists I've found through reading articles there. I'm a security researcher and am lear

Can't you just shape that as any founder creating something though? Like oh, they own 50% of the company with their co-founder, then just grow it over 10 years to 100M ARR, then sell it to private equity to make a profit! Can you belie

Paris to Brussels: 3 hours by car, 1 by plane. San Francisco to Denver: 26 hours by car, 3.5 hours by plane. Hardly a comparison. Can't do an easy commute to the office with that. Most people with that wealth won't burn the money

This! I used to run a photography critique group and had to constantly harp on this. Photography is really the art of exclusion -- not only what you exclude from the frame but also what you cut from your final selection of images. Robert Fr

Fellow photographer here. I still participate on Instagram, but rarely and only posting prints of my photographs now. I've found that the act of making a print, hanging it, or putting it into a "photo book" type form is way m

Why couldn't Apple do this but place requirements on the additional app stores. They must conform to Apple mandated code signing, follow APIs it designs for app installation and permissions management, must provide an email obfuscation

Forever grateful for SDF. Graduated into the last depression, was super broke, my computer died, and I could barely get hours between two restaurant jobs just to make rent. For about 3 years used SDF from the library to keep my dev spaces u

Had an office with wrap around white board for my first developer job. I don't think I have ever absolutely crushed that much work since -- up until COVID. Working from my home office has been a wake up call. I like the office, chattin

Darkroom printer here. This is one of my joys in life. Dumped all my digital cameras because printing my photographs gets me off the computer and the tangibility solidifies the work as important for me. You can actually get away with printi

There are still photographers shooting 4x5 in DC professionally with the press core. One is David Burnett and the other I can't remember off hand, but he's been shooting 4x5 of the congressional hearings. You just can't beat

There's also the saying though of "buy when there's blood in the streets, especially if it's your blood". All got to go up sometime. Just how much capital do you have to wait out the drop?

Is this the same as talky.io (which I've used in the past and liked)? All the same underlying technology as Google Meet, right? WebRTC with some extra magics?

It's all relative. Why shouldn't people aim for a continued improvement in the way we're all treated?

Let's not encourage people to take VT as gospel though. Lots of ways to get around the tools there. Fun malware does it all the time.
