_mlbt··on Ask HN: I got fired from 100k job so I've made a game and it failed
The graphics aren’t awful, but they are bland and generic. I would recommend making different themed levels. Maybe one level could be dinosaurs, another could be space, etc.
_mlbt··on Corruption and Control: Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business
The WEF supports leftist authoritarianism, not the Trump/MAGA flavored variety.

I think they are indirectly responsible for his rise, because he is a direct result of the growing backlash against globalist policies.

I think these guys have a lot to do with the rise of authoritarianism in the West…

Read up on what they advocate for and who they’re influencing and you’ll start to understand what’s going in the world a little better. Chilling stuff for sure.

Anyone who's played the Crusader Kings series of games knows how important these titles are to a dynasty on the rise.

This is also the origin of the Russian title of Czar or Tsar depending on the spelling you prefer.

This is a bad idea on an internet facing computer.

Windows 7 has numerous unpatched vulnerabilities and Vegas Pro runs just fine on supported versions of Windows…

_mlbt··on The World Runs 20B Instances of Curl. Where's the Support?
If this solo developer doesn’t like it, they are free to change the license, start charging for support, or just tell everyone that they can use it at their own risk.
_mlbt··on The World Runs 20B Instances of Curl. Where's the Support?
How is this the same thing?

The author of curl chose to give it away under an open source license. Yes it would be nice if more corporations with deep pockets that use it would donate money and resources, but there’s no legal or ethical obligation for them to do so.

If you want people to pay for your software license it accordingly.

Today I learned that Irish are brown people…

…or maybe it really is just about their legal status and not their skin color like I said.

Everyone should be prosecuted and fairly tried for any crimes that they committed on January 6th. I have no issue with that.

> brown people

Why are you bringing race into this? I couldn’t care less about their skin color, just their legal status.

_mlbt··on AI is ummasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?
I’m not describing all opponents as unhinged lunatics. I’m talking about the violent far left that does things like ambush and attempt to murder ICE agents. This is why I’m against anyone attempting to doxx them.

If you want to peacefully protest or lobby Congress to change the laws these ICE agents are enforcing, or work to reform immigration laws to create easier legal pathways to citizenship, that would all be perfectly acceptable. Advocating for violence, lawlessness, and murder is something else entirely.

If they take Taiwan that would be very disruptive to the US and the rest of the world. They have made credible threats to do that.

How does Russia threaten the United States? They can’t even take over Ukraine.

Why do people illegally in this country deserve to stay here? When you enter a country illegally or overstay your visa you should not act surprised when ICE agents facilitate your deportation. We have laws and processes to become a legal citizen and we cannot and should not just take in everyone who wants to come here.
_mlbt··on AI is ummasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?
Would it be okay if people started “resisting” illegal immigrants in the same way? We don’t do vigilante justice in this country. All of you justifying the attempted murder of ICE agents are sick in the head.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though, there are a lot of people who wished that President Trump’s assassin had actually succeeded. The far left is developing a frightening violence problem. Murdering people is not the answer.

Russia is the successor state of a former failed superpower. China is a rising superpower with a large, advanced military and a strong industrial base.

There’s no comparison. China is a far greater threat to the West than Russia.

Ambushing ICE agents and attempting to murder them goes far beyond resistance.
_mlbt··on AI is ummasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?
The ambush was a real event!!! A man was shot in the neck and nearly killed. WTF??? So does an ICE agent need to actually be murdered in cold blood for you to care about their safety?
_mlbt··on AI is ummasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?
Oh so I guess that makes it okie dokie then. There’s no way these terrorists won’t start going after ICE agents and their families in their homes if they get doxxed. Don’t be so obtuse.

You don’t think that these unhinged lunatics won’t attack ICE agents and their families?
_mlbt··on AI is ummasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?
Unhinged lunatics are ambushing them and attempting to murder them, the masks are necessary for their safety and their family’s safety…

> Ten people have been arrested so far in a “planned ambush” of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in north Texas.

> On July 4, the Alvarado Police Department announced that one of its police officers had been shot in the neck after responding to a call without stating the incident occurred outside of an immigration facility. It was the first of two officer involved shootings outside of a federal immigration facility in Texas this week, The Center Square first reported.

> What occurred was “a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers,” Larson said. “Make no mistake, this was not a so-called peaceful protest. It was indeed an ambush” to draw out people from inside “and it worked.”

I’m more worried about an activist hacking or leaking it and putting these agents and their families in danger.

It carried out just enough of an aid mission to run cover for CIA activities. As an example it nominally supported farmers in Afghanistan, except the "farmers" were opium producers.

USAID was shut down on July 1st. Somehow people have survived without it for nearly 2 months. It just goes to show you how critical the "aid" it provided was.

In this case it really is Orwellian double speak. They were a CIA front that was used to support their regime change operations.

War is Peace indeed.

US AID and the Institute of Peace were CIA fronts. Good riddance to them.

Also, watch the "Nazi salutes" clip in its entirety from a non-biased source. He is excited that Trump won and is awkwardly gesturing while saying "my heart goes out to you" in celebration and thanks to the voters. Even the ADL said it wasn't a Nazi salute.
