The problem with US trains is comfort? I thought it was availability.

> It’s also worth noting that 64% of the crew and passengers survived. I’m not sure how that compares to the average plane crash, but it was certainly not as severe a disaster as it’s usually thought of. 64% survival would be great for V

> LTA’s airship uses stable helium rather than flammable hydrogen as a lifting gas That's a demonstration of the impact one incident can have. Nearing a century later, people still need that concern addressed.

Is there a functional purpose to Krypton? If it just looks cool, that's fine; I just wonder what I don't know about mono fonts. Edit and OT: Interesting HN algorithm behavior: I just wrote two posts in this thread (on different to

In the sample text box, when I enable the grid, sometimes the gridlines pass right through the characters. For example, the default settings (Neon, size 16, weight 300, width 100, slant 0, texture healing on (or off), ligatures on), in the

That may be how you feel about it, but the court may see it differently. If someone's paycheck is mistakenly mailed to you, even in cash, you can't deposit it.

This seems to be part of the plan, or was. On a technical level, it is fascinating reading: https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/

Hmmm ... looking around, isn't the following implemented? https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/ (It's also relevant to the OP.)

Did they post anywhere how the pulled it off, overcoming the obstacles that held up this feature (which I don't remember, other than they were legit)?

See my second paragraph; I'm not really talking about this person.

People have long complained that Signal violated their privacy by requiring them to hand out phone numbers. With someone's phone number you can discover everything about them, even location - it's possibly the most valuable ID. Fo

> reset someone’s password using my email address Don't you risk a crime of breaking into someone's account? Regardless, that could cause someone real harm.

We were talking about substitutes for Omegle, so that degree of anonymity.

That really sucks; I would have guessed the standard of evidence would be lower than 'conviction of a crime'. Why a default judgment? And where do you live?

> Essentially we lost faith in the system and I don’t think it will ever come back. So where do we go from here? A bit extreme? It will come back if you choose it, if you do it. The despair, as I posted, is trendy but it's absurd -

Is it anonymous?

by wolverine876 3y ago
Despair is trendy, which makes doing it easier; it makes it normalized. Perhaps previously a 'I'm not going to give up; I'm going to keep fighting for what I care about!' message would be normalized, and because of that

Can you meet people randomly on any of those services? That would be an interesting feature.

We do implement many things that protect people, sometimes children in particular. They aren't perfect, but they can prevent a lot of damage. The question, as usual, isn't all or nothing. It's what can we do that will meet al

What you say sounds familiar, though you might forgive a lack of detail in an online post (that was pretty detailed!). Still, what is the particular frustration? Is it that other participants in that revolution don't want Iran and thei

Khomeini could lead it from France. I didn't mean that he led the charge at the machine guns. Are you saying he had no part until he returned?

In 1953 the CIA intervened in a power struggle and helped depose the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddeq, handing power to shah (essentially, 'king') Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, whose father, a military off
