This is good sometimes but also horrible sometimes, because reputation exists for a reason. It's a filter, and if you have terabytes of information around which has mostly garbage quality you need filters if you want to make it useful.

Totally agree, just saying if it's already there and you want to read it anyway, there are ways without making an account. Putting it on the blog would be better, ideally.

You can, but it feels like running Doom on a pager - you're probably not getting the best experience and the tool isn't meant for giving you one.

I'm pretty sure if you use thread unroller, it'd still work. Just feed it the url of the first post of the thread and it'll make it readable. It doesn't require any login so it won't be relevant whether you have an

Thousand times yes! I am always completely confused why a smart person that should know better would make a 35-tweet thread instead of just writing a blog post. There are about a hundred advantages for the latter and not a single one for th

Nothing reassures one as much as a goverment enforcement entity essentially saying "we have full legal right to squash you like a bug but for now we won't because we just don't want to. For now".

It's natural for the government to want control. It's literally what it is optimized for - control. More control is always better than less control. More data about subjects always better than less data. What if they do something

He was the President, true, but claiming he was in control of the same FBI which actively tried to pin treason on him is going a bit too far I think...

Yes, it is alarming. May even develop into FBI just forcing private companies to ban speech they don't like! Oh wait tgeycalready did: https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-colluded-twitter-suppress-free-...

It is. The article full of innuendo seemingly linking personnel reductions at FAA with recent catastrophes. While they don't say it explicitly they write it so that the casual reader would conclude those ate related events. They also c

It's not literacy. They don't care. They need control, and if establishing control means increased risks for you, it's not something they see as a negative factor. It's your problem, not theirs.

Sure, there's temptation. Just as goods being laid out on shelves in the store is a big temptation to steal them and not pay. Am I surprised that some people shoplift? No, but that doesn't make their behavior correct or commendabl

Responsible disclosure is not about rewards. And I am not surprised some 16 years old doesn't care. I am more surprised HN ctowd doesn't seem to even mention it. 16 years old can learn, but only if there's a culture to teach

So, responsible disclosure isn't a thing anymore?

Ah that's very easy question. Stocks and bonds have very heavy legal framework you can lean on in many situations. It doesn't mean you can't lose - stock investors lose they money all the time - but at least some scenarios ar

Your point is if you're interested in writing code to verify the validity of elections, that is evidence to the suspicion your employer sonehow corrupted the election? That does not sound like a sane line of reasoning.

How it's "resolved"? Just because it happened a while ago (and continued in some different form since then pretty much until now - a lot of "we love DEI" stuff from FAA that I've seen are pretty recent) does no

I'm pretty sure this is not unique to Apple. They likely served the same order to Google, Microsoft, and any other major provider that has any user data. And most of them complied without objection.

You clearly never been in California if you think prop 65 warnings have much to do with drains or safety.

Who wants to bet this ends up in prop-65-like list of disclaimers about алл тхе automation tools used for every message, which will make the messages bigger but won't make them any less frequent?

by smsm42 2y ago
Right. Because that's how presidential elections work - the president must do everything personally for the next 4 years and is not allowed to use other people to act on his behalf. That's what Biden did all 4 years for example.

Trump was elected, and he was born in the US, though he does have German ancestry. As an immigrant myself, I personally find it very worrying though that it becomes normal to use foreign descent as a slur in the American political debate. I
