I'd just disable js entirely for that site. And if it breaks it entirely, oh well

I'd guess this goes back to not getting enough healthy sleep, which is a reason people nap.

> The post gives no details about what this vulnerability is, how critical it is, how it is impacting them personally, how vulnerable their servers are, how they are working around it.

Yes it does? And Ubuntu is selling security subscriptions and doing a poor job of it, These aren't open source volunteers, this is a paid product.

"We didn't care about that part of our business anyways!" And the outcome clearly shows that.

Taking my deterministic code and injecting non determinism seems like a nightmare to work with

Is it supposed to just be a black screen in Firefox?

I like them for computer games and hardware. But yeah, generally functional capabilities are much more important.

Hollowing out the middle class (and yes I consider software engineers to be mostly upper middle class, most of them need to continue working for someone else) is not a good thing. What makes you think any of this is creating upward class mobility instead of just increasing wealth concentration?

Maybe it's just how my friend groups have changed over the years, but I've had the opposite experience

Crazy that they hit MS for this and not Amazon

What is a "computational paywall"?

I liked features like director commentary and deleted scenes (usually deleted for good reason but still interesting)

Not a designer but the worst feedback you can get from your coworkers is nothing.

This website has a terrible taste in font. There's a reason you don't see a lot of serifs on the Internet.

I think UBI is pretty squarely a progressive issue. Maybe you're conservative for the area you live in (Cali?) but many conservatives would consider your view to be pretty extreme left.

Sounds like 19th century landowners

Seattle's light rail system uses that exact model.

> The end result of a business is a lemonade stand or a barber or donut shop, the end result of a startup is OpenAI or Google.

That's a bit disingenuous. The more comparable end result for a coffee shop is Starbucks. Or Amazon if you want to talk about books

Guess I'm not in the industry enough lmao

You can ask this about a lot of foods, but probably won't get many satisfying answers. For example cheese goes back many thousands of years, and it's theorized that it was invented accidentally due to storing milk in sheep stomachs or similar.

Probably something similar for pickling. Someone noticed that salted foods last a long time, and vinegar never seems to go bad, so why not try combining them?

You can be anonymous without using the same model as 4chan.

Probably also worth pointing out that they made that account to leave that comment

Idk, they've always had a techno libertarian streak. This seems on brand to me.

Just read and internalize the 800k page manual, some of which poorly explains why things are the way they are or is outright wrong.

It's not just HN, have you seen mainstream news recently? It's just a hot topic and I think it's normal for people to talk about those a lot.

If quantum computing ever goes mainstream, I'm sure you'll see a lot of articles about that as well.

There hasn't been an explicit ruling from the supreme Court that applies here, but there are indications that they would have ruled that the fourth amendment applied. They've explicitly avoided closing the door on that possibility.

> Also left unanswered was the broader question surrounding the privacy implications of a warrantless use of GPS data without a physical intrusion – as might occur, for example, with the electronic collection of GPS data from wireless service providers or factory-installed vehicle tracking and navigation services.[27] The Court left these matters to be decided in some future case, saying, "It may be that achieving the same result through electronic means, without an accompanying trespass, is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, but the present case does not require us to answer that question."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States

> Ultimately, in Carpenter the court determined that the third-party doctrine could not be extended to historical cell site location information (CSLI). Instead, the Court compared "detailed, encyclopedic, and effortlessly compiled" CSLI records to the GPS information at issue in United States v. Jones, recognizing that both forms of data accord the government the ability to track individuals' past movements.[24] Furthermore, the Court noted that CSLI could pose even greater privacy risks than GPS data, as the prevalence of cellphones could accord the government "near perfect surveillance" of an individual's movements. Accordingly, the Court ruled that, under the Fourth Amendment, the government must obtain a search warrant in order to access historical CSLI records.[1]

Of course there are no guarantees on how they'd rule today, but in the past they've ruled that scale and ease of access and compilation are significant enough to mean that fourth amendment protections should apply.

I don't know anyone who uses Facebook anymore

Is this an ad?

Because markets are neither rational nor perfectly elastic.

It's the dosage that makes the poison. If you dumped it all in the ocean in a single spot then yes, it would probably kill the local ecosystem.
