A caterpillar is not a bug. It is not institutionally recognizable as "bug" to me. A bug is a beetle or cockroach. I strongly suspect it's related to my first language being German, which maps "bug" and "beetle

Okay, deep breath, this will be unpleasant. 1. Do you ban creators for "hate speech"? 1b. If yes: What is "hate speech"? 2. Will you ban creators for content published outside your platform? (e.g. erotic content publi

There are at least 7 variations of the heart symbol ️ differing only in color ️🧡, not including the heart (playing card) which also has multiple variations. Edit: apparently HN limits the number of emoji per post, I originally included se…

That's arguing about semantics. It seems obvious from context that the intended interpretation of "the correct answer" is "the only true answer" — since "true" and "correct" are nearly synonymous

Abuse signals, as determined by a machine learning system that is a complete mystery to even its creators. But that's beside the point. Losing the ability to receive email is not something that should ever happen under any circumstance

There's the theoretical legal interpretation, and then there's the precedent for how google have traditionally enforced their rules. And they have been absolutely ruthless. Banning your family and everyone who ever logged in from

Maybe, but maybe not. There was another recent YouTube controversy where dozens of people were banned from all google services (including Gmail) for spamming on a gaming livestream chat (which is considered perfectly acceptable behavior by

There are unofficial projects that combine the drivers from IoT with the "full" ARM32 version of Win10. I tried it and it did boot, but on a pi 3B it was too slow to be usable. I'd want at least a pi 4B 2GB before trying agai

Anim8 seems to be the closest thing to classic Flash animation, albeit without the interactive component. However, I'm a little disappointed that it seems to output in MP4. Is there really no modern format for vector video?

Youtube has no interactivity within videos. There used to be a little bit of it with annotations, but those were killed off ages ago. Compare that to Flash video series like Homestar Runner, every episode had little Easter eggs where you co

Did Apple change their stance on compilers? It used to be forbidden for the longest time, then they allowed it strictly for educational purposes. It'd be strange if Apple would release Xcode for iPad that doesn't allow creating iP

Except you literally do. 370,000 active personnel and not a single soul more, in accordance with the 2+4 treaty of 1990.

It is a kludge. PoE is 48V DC, so any converter is gonna look bulky and impractical next to the Pi.

Since when are these companies "content creators"? They operate platforms such as Twitch and YouTube that the content creators use, but you wouldn't call Wal-Mart an "electronics manufacturer".

It's not an iPhone thing. It's entirely on your carrier whether or not to enable it on a new SIM.

While there have been a few very scary hacks that could compromise a currently-unlocked-and-running SIM, I don't think there is anything you can do to a powered-down SIM without the PIN.

A SIM card has its own PIN, completely independent from the phone's pin. If I put my SIM in someone else's phone, it will ask for my PIN, even when they don't have a PIN set.

How did they get your 4-digit PIN? Don't you have to enter it on every reboot?

In times like these, I am glad to live in a stone age country like German, where it is near-impossible to get a new SIM without going to the store in person and presenting a government-issued ID.

Unless it says "Sold by: Amazon.com", Amazon isn't party to the contract. DHL doesn't get to know what is in the package they deliver, so why should Amazon be entitled to that information?

Chris Poole (Moot) founded 4chan after being banned from SA (in the version I heard it was on accusations of pedophilia, because anyone who finds anime characters attractive is clearly a pedophile). SA was far more influential in creating a

The platform that Microsoft wants to push is not just Windows. It's Azure. The HoloLens 2 keynote made a big deal out of opening the ecosystem to Apple and Android clients.
