I'm pretty sure this would look kind of weird under xrays. They probably see thousands of cables and it'd be pretty easy to spot the difference.

I agree that legal confusion is an issue usually with ancient trademark laws and people judging technology-related matters who still double click hyperlinks, but this is sort of hilariously dumb: > "At Teespring (now Spring) we hav

A contract is consent in both ways. Most people have not consented neither explicitly nor tacitly to any of this. I understand what the term means, but most people seem to stick with the enlightenment-age definition while in reality what we

While that may be true (and I'm sort of disappointed to find this out), I don't think there's any server _at all_ that I'd trust if I'm worried about certain governments snooping in on my email. That level of commun

TIL Fastmail is an Australian company. I wonder if this bill applies to data hosted outside of Australia for international clients by a company based in Australia? I'd really like to know what they have to say about this.

Over the past two years, Australian and New Zealand's governments have become great examples of how statism can take over so quickly. As an outsider, I feel really sad for people in Australia and New Zealand.

While I agree with you, unfortunatley that is still technically considered the tech-savvy crowd, amongst others at least.

Get yourself a PiHole&PiVPN or NextDNS and never look at ads on any of your devices again

The fact that it's so low (yes imo 58 is pretty low) speaks volumes to the attitudes of the "tech-savvy crowd" towards tracking and data mining.

If what the article says is true, this is the definition of authoritarianism.

It's not the support that I find appalling, this is fine in a free-speech society, but the issue i have with modern HN is that any sort criticism of censorship as an act regardless of the content or who's the person on the receivi

Again, dumb luck might have given you the opportunity, but dumb luck didn’t keep that thing going, you either consciously cheat or you’re working hard to keep the thing that dumb luck gave you the opportunity for. The point is we all get du

Not to be that guy, but a very small percentage of people might get lucky to get an opportunity at something, not to keep it. Time and time again I've found that what people refer to as luck (aside from inheritance or lottery) is sheer

Not really imo. It may make sense in the short term, but in the long term these websites are losing customers, ie money. Online advertising is a failed business model. All those companies that started like this and succeeded quickly realize

Totally agreed with this. I do turn on dark mode from time to time (when reading longish text or code in a dark env) but I absolutely hate defaulting to dark mode. Worked in a couple of gardens over the last year and on my laptop screen it

That's a pretty naive and reductive way to describe the situation. The relationship between early al qaeda days and various US agencies who armed and trained them is very well established.

If you use an extension that auto-approves, it's on you. I'm not familiar with adblock that blocks consent dialog or auto uncheckes all possible and clicks "ok"

The "not much hanging out, just focus time" is precisely the part I think is dystopian and personifies a sad future. The whole idea could be an episode of Blackmirror tbh. I'm not arguing against some finding it useful, I&#x2

Also it's way more difficult to parse than CSV. I'm not saying that CSV is better (or worse), just that to each it's job! Wtf is this about retiring a format because it doesn't fit someone's expectation!

Meh. Author probably messed up some important deadline or emailed (or got emailed) some crappy CSV file and then threw a temper tantrum and decided to write this. Every single one of their points are extremely subjective and very wrong. If
