What freedoms does banning Chinese products infringe? I'm pretty sure that the national government has the right to control international trade in the same way that the state governments have a right to control interstate trade.

I believe that the Canonical Snap server is hardcoded into snapd, so even if someone did implement their own you would need to recompile snapd to even use it.

Right. To be clear I wasn't seeking advice as I've already decided what I'm going to do. I was merely pointing out that it's more complicated than pausing enrollment and resuming when things get back to normal.

I would do this except I would lose my $12,000 a semester in scholarship from my university. Most scholarships do seem to require continuous enrollment. Also, students with deferred loans would need to begin paying those back.

I know right. I don't get it. I would expect a company like Microsoft that makes most of their money selling to businesses would take privacy and security more seriously.

Onyx makes eInk tablets. I was actually thinking of buying one earlier this year, but not after this.

No you're not alone. I also recently tried Edgium and I think it's a really nice browser. However, I'm going to keep using Firefox cause FOSS and whether I like the new Edge or not is besides the point. I don't like it w

That's right. Although based on some quick Googling Jeff Bezos owns 11% of Amazon which has a market cap of $1.4 trillion. So Bezos has generated about $1.2 trillion of wealth for other people.

I think it's important to remember that most of Jeff Bezos wealth is in Amazon stock. I say this because it seems like people see $171b and assume Bezos has that amount of spending power. In reality if Jeff tried to liquidate all of hi

Yes I know, I used email apps as an example because I've seen Apple say that email apps would be exempt from Sign in with Apple previously.

Twitter did have an answer to this. It was called Vine and was very popular before they shut it down.

I think Apple does allow apps to limit social sign in options where it makes sense. So for example, an email app could have sign in with Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! but not Apple.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but, I think 1080p is a totally reasonable resolution for a laptop. I have a 4k display on my laptop and it's way overkill. I've had it for a few years now and regret spending the extra money on

I think you're being a little harsh on WhatsApp. Although I use Signal personally, I consider WhatsApp to be a good middle. It has more users and features than Signal but also much better privacy than Telegram.

It does make me wonder how many apps on Android also do this and go completely undetected. Hopefully Google adds something similar.

I don't think I said anything that was factually incorrect. If you read the Telegram FAQ they say that secret chats are end-to-end encrypted and regular chats are only client to server encrypted. That means the plain text of your messa

Telegram is pretty bad from a privacy point of view. Only secret chats are end to end encrypted, everything else is sent in plaintext. Even if you do use secret chats they rolled their own crypto and their algorithm is controversial in the

Hi HN, A few months ago I was applying to internships and noticed that most online job applications are rather tedious and repetitive. They often involve creating an account, uploading your resume, and then copy and pasting different parts

I think the EU provides a pretty good example of what could happen. They seem much more aggressive with anti-trust and as a result they aren't very competitive on the global tech stage. There are a handful a tech companies from Europe

I'm more concerned about the space junk aspect of it. My understanding is that as satellites collide they produce millions of tiny deadly particles. If we have enough of those in orbit then it will effectively trap us on earth. I'
