I'd argue the Federal government saw some of its greatest expansions during the civil war, and immediately following. Seconded only by the early 1900s. Ever since the civil war, OG America hasn't existed. The Confederacy was the m

Probably some ridiculous claim that "at the time of the founding, they had no way of knowing how readily accessible data would be." Surely, finding 100x the information with 1/100th the effort compared to then must be 4A-comp

Exactly. The news anchors reading a script approved by CEOs of companies owned by a handful of parent companies, owned by a handful of people, who happen to be close acquaintances with other powerful people (governmentally and economically)

It's kind of odd actually. Any time the topic is on corporate crap, HN is suddenly overwhelmingly pro-business. Whenever the topic is government-related, the demographic shifts hard left. That's been my experience at least. Maybe

The FBI director straight up admits that they violate the 4th amendment routinely, and then begs Congress to not ruin their precious workaround. And yet they will face no punishment whatsoever. Like another commenter said, many people were

Okay so your solution is: open borders and heavier government surveillance to balance it? Fantastic.

Totally agree with this. I thought it was weird when I first joined, but over the years, I've grown to appreciate the lack of it. Keeping track of your points is a decent indicator that activity has happened though. I just remember rou

Same here. HN + a few RSS feeds now. Reddit without Infinity is no Reddit for me.

The wild west had a lot less danger and death than Hollywood makes it out to seem. Likewise, I'm going to miss the internet and computing as we know it now when it's regulated to shit like everything else. Nothing nice ever lasts.

Very interesting. Thanks.

Activist bullshit, and redirecting the dwindling funds to making sure their CEOs always have a minimum of 3 yachts on standby.

If we moved into a world without government and laws, it'd be replaced by a sort of modernized feudalism. Not anarchy.

by seanw444 3y ago
And it never will be. This is a human problem. No amount of laws and regulations will ever solve it.

I worded it weirdly. It has what it needs already I think, but I'm saying: if it can reliably and efficiently do all the most useful functions of ZFS, while being built-in to Linux, and not starting off terribly bloated, that wi

ZFS will still be preferable for production for a long while until bcachefs has proven itself, and bug reports slow down. That said, I'm also stoked for bcachefs. ZFS has always appeared to me like a bloated mess. Btrfs is more minimal

I've never really seen PowerShell beyond minimal commands, but after seeing the parent, I definitely think it has the superior syntax of the shells. Especially for scripts.

Exactly. Our government was inefficient from the start. That's by design.

If you have money and connections, the laws of the plebs are no longer relevant. You essentially have a right to keep and bear arms anywhere on Earth if you're rich enough.

Yes, but you said "the same objects". The same objects are very expensive and require permission to test on.

It really just goes back and forth. The point here is that it's pointless.

All solid questions I'd like answers to as well. I was merely adding that it isn't a one-off, as some people have gotten used to immediately dismissing it with. > Have multiple independent people used the method to analyze the

And that one is just straight up not a theory. These are psyops that are openly admitted to by the world's various intelligence agencies.
