I don't doubt the same court relishes the thought of deciding what "harm" is on a case-by-case basis. The continued politicization of the courts will not end well for a society that nominally believes in the rule of law. Some

I mean, I do projects on mine too. Without OP describing what the projects are; you're assuming they are CPU-bound. Speaking of my projects - the RPi is perfectly capable of working as a web crawler (at a page rate that may surprise yo

You're right, the RPi zero 2's CPU is slower - but that doesn't matter for non-interactive tasks. I don't care that my cloud backup export cron job runs 5 minutes (or hours) longer on the Pi than on a Nuc; I only care it

I'll also note that Twitter was pretty open and had lots of goodwill, which would have made competing against it really hard. Twitter getting rid of 3rd party clients (pre-Musk), and shutting down API access (post-Musk) burned a lot of

Awesome =/= objective moderation. I claimed the former, not the latter. IMO, there is no such thing as objective moderation. All editorial decisions are subjective, but this is besides the point.

HN allows everyone with sufficient karma to vouch for dead comments (or flag comments), I suspect most of the comment-level moderation you see is crowdsourced to fellow commenters; a still-dead comment means most of those who see choose to
