News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

It's because the amendment was never to authorize spying on browser history, it was an amendment to BLOCK it which was voted down for being a distraction and potentially limit FISA spying in other ways.
Re:Better Box Shadows (CSS) on Wednesday May 20, 2020 @11:08AM (#23247761)
The only problem with this (and it is infuriating) is that while Chrome and Firefox render box positive box-shadow values identically, they differ substantially with negative values. As a result, to get matching shadows you will need to use browser-specific shadows.

Re:A List of Hacker News's Undocumented Features and Behaviors on Thursday February 21, 2019 @07:54AM (#19216487)
you don't think think there could possibly be downsides from promoting only one set of viewpoints? That seems naive to say the least.

How do I turn off echo chamber mode where well-written posts that go against the mob thinking turn grey?
This is really shady of Google to do, and the fact that they think that it's acceptable just shows how far we've come. "Don't be evil" apparently means "spy on people, censor based on politics, help dirtbags stuck in the 12th century treat women as property, and assist totalitarian regimes to stay in power and censor their populace".

Google is literally cartoonishly evil at this point. That slogan of theirs is an absolute joke.

> Well last night that violence unfolded in El Paso. Ron was unhurt. It wasn't life-threatening, but it was aggressive and violent. But what about the next time? Or the time after that?

This is the same shit you see from "Antifa" on the left, and it's abhorrent regardless of the source. To pretend that both sides aren't getting increasingly violent is to reject reality. This isn't a false equivalency situation; both left and right are being pushed into division.

And it's the media that's doing it.

I don't know how much real science can be done on a barrier island, we already know how these things work. Same reason you don't buy a house in a horseshoe bend on a river.
Yeah apparently treating women as property doesn't violate Google's terms. Weird.
Didn't they ban Infowars?

Conspiracy theories: not ok Treating women as property: ok

What are your thoughts on Apple and Google supporting SA control over women?

I just found out about this "Absher" app that Saudi Arabia runs that allows male guardians to control the movements of women via passport control. It's pretty abhorrent to me but I thought it was an internal thing. I found out yesterday that these two companies permit the app to exist in their app stores. I would have expected something like this to be front page news, and I'm surprised Apple...

Google literally censors plugins they don't like from being loaded into Chrome. No.

> Also, legally, neither one is treason.

Haha ok man but no for real that's actual treason.

FYI, any attempt to steal an election is both (a) fraud and (b) treason, and I don't even understand why you're trying to rules-lawyer a distinction here.
It should be federally illegal here. Corporate welfare is theft.
Wait, voter fraud doesn't exist but hey look it happened just last year?
The fact that this post was downvoted is not however surprising to me. Keep it up echo chamber!
Twitter has a perverse incentive to allow them because it is directly related to their stock price

Why on Earth would you believe such a thing? That's utterly ludicrous.

You want to point me to a fact you are trying to refute?

The actual level of confidence is near zero, not what is written. Climate scientists can prove it really easily; give a forecast of the weather more than 30 days out. Anybody claiming to be able to predict decades+ of weather should easily be able to do a 30 day forecast.

We're at such a weird area in American politics that I literally cannot tell if you're joking or serious.
