The buck always stops with the platform owners. You don't get to blame users for moderation decisions.

You don't explain the aspect where a certain political group generates way more flaggable content, and then you flag-ban those who flag it, which promotes that content because it is no longer flagged.

You also don't explain how 2 posts per 3 hours constitutes a "ban".

Also every mobile phone network ever (with a handful of exceptions) is IPv6-only, with a slow translation layer to reach v4 sites. Your app or website literally runs faster if you use IPv6.

Personally I'm waiting for the "everyone is 12 internet theory" to get a Wikipedia page. (Of course I am - I'm 12)

For some background why IoT products will stop being insecure: if you sell one in the EU, you're liable for all the damage your botnet causes.

Luckily, common EU home routers have firewalls, even for IPv6. And it's so much easier to punch holes on purpose! Instead of messing with port forwarding and internal and external IP addresses, you can just say "this device is a server, please allow traffic on port 80 and 443, thank you"

It costs eight figures to create the masks (patterns) to use in the process of creating a modern chip. Just because it doesn't cost the eleven figures of the factory itself doesn't make it cheap.

The whole economy will crash. Probably won't be due to China invading Taiwan though.

It's easy to predict that a bubble will pop, but there's a variance in the timing of approximately half a human lifetime, and if you don't guess that correctly, you throw away yours.

Everything that can't go on forever will eventually stop. But when?

Recording makes it easier because you can get people on your side by making it look heroic and cool - for example, see Is-real. It's famously impossible to make an anti-war movie because explosions and machine guns look cool on-screen.

It's not like you're worse off it your fl-gging is sh-dow-disabled, than if you never fl-g at all.

There is also word-based fl-gging. I don't know whether HN itself is doing it or some users.

How can you tell there isn't a flying spaghetti monster if you haven't seen it?

The "DMA cards" used for video game cheating are generic PCIe cards and (at least the one I got) comes with open documentation (schematics, example projects etc).

I recently bought a DMA cheating card because it's secretly just an FPGA PCIe card. Haven't tried to play around with it yet.

Seems unlikely you'd emulate a real PCIe card in software because PCIe is pretty high-speed.

The left-wing reality bias strikes again.

We live in a capitalism. If something makes capitalistic sense it happens, otherwise it doesn't. Stuff will not be manufactured locally at great expense when it can instead be imported for free.

There is no such thing. It's a delusional state of mind caused by drugs. It doesn't correspond to anything that exists, beyond the observer's neural activity.

What else would you expect from cops? Why do you think people say ACAB?

Sure they can. Look how efficiently Germany did it.

To get free stuff you have to get free stuff. Why would you manufacture stuff, at great expense, when you're getting it for free? That makes no capitalistic sense.

Biden sold more weapons to Israel than any president before him.

Yes, I asked dang by email, and he told me flags from my account have been disabled because I flagged things he agreed with. I think votes are also disabled.

The buttons are still there, but they don't do anything.

Dems broadly want Trump-esque policies to be enacted. They don't care if it's them or the republicans enacting those policies. They do need to fill both slots to prevent any danger of a left wing person getting elected.

HN is more tightly controlled than it lets on. User moderation tools are suspended if a user doesn't use them in accordance with a pro-corporate right-wing bias.

Being pleasantly surprised by things that should be the bare minimum is not a sign you hold him in high regard. How do you feel about his attacks on Gaza?

"Trade deficit" is another word for "free stuff" and also another word for "being the world's reserve currency". America receives massive quantities of free stuff from other countries and gets to control the banking system of the entire world as a side effect (this is how it manages to collect taxes from non-resident citizens and how it makes sanctions meaningful). Why doesn't America want that to continue?

How would raising the price of eggs lower the price of eggs?

Can you provide some examples of what you think left extremism is?

Did you update yt-dlp?

Your code runs slower on mobile devices, since (as a rule of thumb) mobile networks are ipv6-only and ipv4 traffic has to pass through a few layers of tunneling.

This is a recursive resolver quirk
