It makes sense to criticize rich countries for not distributing more vaccines to poorer ones. It makes no sense to claim that the crisis will be ‘prolonged’ unless you can define an endpoint. I am not aware that the WHO has defined an endpo

At some point I am guessing that having Facebook on one’s resume will be seen as a negative too.

This isn’t true. You posted “it’s still coming”, and only added the quote later after my reply.

> it was a defacto paramilitary arm Which means it wasn’t ever a paramilitary arm of the state. You just want to pretend it was because that way you can act as if the KKK and the state were part of the same thing, which they never wer

These reasons, plus there is little to be gained by an adversary revealing capabilities so closely. One possibility is that this is intended to reveal to the Chinese that the US has drones capable of intercepting naval vessels, in order to

Seems pretty likely that these drones are operated by another branch of the US armed forces.

I think Java had quite a lot to do with making those BSD and Linux boxes run the kind of software people were using for ‘e-commerce’ back then.

What if there was no copyright material associated with the listing? If you don’t actually present an image of a Disney character on the site, there is nothing preventing an NFT referring to one.

You are right that it was the point. It was simply a bad goal. Sun hoped it would allow people to migrate to their hardware, when instead it enabled them to migrate away, or to never have to choose.

That’s a fair comment. That having been said, most of what I’m relying to is straight up dishonesty that HN has no way to police and also ‘destroys what it is for’. But I agree - I should stay away from this stuff.

By ‘quiet part’, you mean the part that they have never literally said, which instead you wrote and attributed to them.

You are one of many people who go to great pains to inform people on HN about how ‘truly reprehensible’ modern iOS/iPadOS is. Had they listened to you, they might have been saved from their mistake. What surprises me is that a regular

It has the potential to be. Of course they aren’t going to torture individuals, but they could easily amplify large scale suffering stochastically.

Ok, so you just proved the point. These bills do not prevent teaching about Tulsa. That claim has always been a lie. As for what you call “proper” discussion about what caused the Tulsa massacre. Nothing in the bill prevents people talki

The KKK was not a paramilitary arm of the state. To claim it was is a lie. The KKK was a terrorist organization bent on violently oppressing Black Americans. It was never part of the state.

by zepto 5y ago
No it wasn’t. This is completely false. Just because someone who had a public job was also a KKK member doesn’t mean it was part of the state.

> I underestimated the restrictiveness of the OS This may not be something that is made clear in reviews, but it’s hard to see how someone could read HN and not see hundreds of comments about this.

Why did you buy it if you wanted to do sideloading? Apple has literally written documents about why they think sideloading is a bad idea.

Sure but you knew it wasn’t an apt comparison when you made it, which is what makes it apologist.
