Dudhbbh3343··on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to President Biden's desk
The value is in not taking yet another step towards overbearing authoritarianism.
Dudhbbh3343··on Japanese police arrest man for tampering with Pokémon Violet save data
I don't believe he meant one should intentionally write false statements, just that when one makes a mistake and others correct it, that it's a good opportunity to learn.
Dudhbbh3343··on Vietnamese property tycoon sentenced to death in $27B fraud case
Is it? The dollar sign typically refers to USD if not otherwise specified.

I would consider it ambiguous only if used in a Canadian or Australian context. (Or other country that uses $ for their currency).

Dudhbbh3343··on Google ordered to identify who watched certain YouTube videos
It entirely depends on how motivated and how much resources they're willing to dedicate to finding you. They're probably not going to go to great lengths to catch a single copyright violation, so simple precautions may be good enough.

If you're a legit threat to national security, then yeah, they're probably going to find you no matter what you do.

Dudhbbh3343··on Declines in global fertility to transform global population patterns by 2100
What's your point?

I wouldn't go as far as calling it an obsession, but fertility is an important factor for longterm economic growth, which is surely a relevant topic of discussion on HN.

Would this affect GrapheneOS installs as well prior to the March update?
Dudhbbh3343··on Debloat non-rooted Android devices
All the "Simple" apps were recently sold to a company that's apparently filling them with ads.

There's a group that forked the original open source apps:

Dudhbbh3343··on Why Is the Sea So Hot?
You're not helping the situation by making these hyperbolic statements that can be easily be argued against and muddy the dialog.
Dudhbbh3343··on Is modern mass media a mind prison?
Why are you inserting a space before all of your punctuation?
Dudhbbh3343··on CEO of data privacy company Onerep.com founded dozens of people-search firms
I agree, but I would argue that the label of "crime" is mostly semantics. The violence (or at least the threat of violence) of the crimes still persists, but whoever is the most powerful group gets to change the label of their violence from "crime" to "law enforcement".

Many large drug cartels pay for schools, give out food to the poor, and control some forms of crime to increase public support or at least prevent their protest.

Once organized crime gets big enough, it's really difficult to distinguish from a weak government.

Dudhbbh3343··on IRS has launched its free tax filing service, Direct File, in 12 states
Why is biometric verification required to file online with the IRS when I can mail in a paper return or use TurboTax without anything like that?
Dudhbbh3343··on Bypassing Safari 17's advanced audio fingerprinting protection
LibreWolf (a privacy focused modification of Firefox) disables WebGL by default for this reason.
Dudhbbh3343··on Airbnb's Devastating Effect on Canadian Housing
That's still easily solvable by getting the government out of the way of the market building sufficient housing to meet demand.

> Montreal has become unaffordable for the workers who support the tourism

That's a self-correcting problem: either tourists pay higher prices to keep attracting workers or the higher prices scare off tourists and fewer workers are needed.

Dudhbbh3343··on Can We Just Throw in the Towel on Airport Security Theater Already?
High speed trains in Japan have no screening at all. I imagine a well-placed bomb going off could have a similar number of casualties.
Dudhbbh3343··on Fasting-mimicking diet causes markers indicating reduced age and disease risk
The research generally shows consistent correlation between the number of meals eaten per day and good cardiovascular biomarkers like LDL and blood pressure, with a single meal per day being the worst.

For example: https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article/67/10/591/...

But for overall health, the results are more mixed.

Dudhbbh3343··on Fasting-mimicking diet causes markers indicating reduced age and disease risk
Did they include details on the effects on LDL cholesterol and blood pressure?

It seems like most time-restricted diets have negative cardiovascular effects.

Dudhbbh3343··on Nascar driver caught wearing an amphibious-like glove in a cheating violation
For the same reason that bigger brakes can make you faster around a track. If you can stay on the gas longer and reduce the amount of time that you're slowing down for turns, you will have a higher average speed.
Dudhbbh3343··on Ask HN: What laptop are you using to daily drive Linux?
14" Asus Expertbook with a recent Intel CPU, 32 GB of Ram, and integrated graphics.

It's the lightest laptop I've ever used, yet still has good build quality and great battery life.

Everything worked out of the box with NixOS, Sway, and suspend-to-disk with full home directory and swap encryption.
