Do you have any thoughts on the bill?

One thing we can do is try to upvote the citizens of the country being discussed.

Or calls to action -- who does someone who's Canadian call to complain about this? (Their MP I presume?)

I'd also be curious, given you have a multiparty system and not our peculiar two party one, why you struggle so hard to get candidates from NDP elected who would probably not push such terrible legislation?

>With all the libertarian millionaires and billionaires swirling around silicon valley and the venture capital space, why can't we make that happen?

Maybe because they're full of shit? (Sorry to swear, but I'm struggling for a better way to phrase this.)

I ran into a lot of open source projects that needed donations that would be considered tiny in any other nonprofit space, but despite all their talk about cipherpunk stuff, they don't seem to put their money where their mouth is.

The "lolbertarians", as I like to call them, seem to want a world where the state has a monopoly on violence and a monopoly on data -- and if you get on their radar, they're just being neutral. (Forgive me if I roll my eyes so hard my retinas nearly detach.)

does tim getting lost in the donut count as being "disrupted"?

(to be fair, i heard that one when said donut was fresh, and to be fair, they rightfully don't let me anywhere near it.)

if they kill old reddit i will post like it's reddit here, so i am sure dang has a team of lobbyists peeling out from a philz like they're the men in black to make sure that doesn't happen

(it's a lot simpler with js off, and who among us doens't turn off js to do a little osint? don't kill it!)

I think the idea is that you don't keep sending just one F16, but the problem is long before an age of drones we built up some catch me if you can bullshit where we expect smaller countries to ignore airspace violations.

Like bro... you got a GPS. Get the fuck out of here.

How much red tape is there to do this in the age of the Euro?

A more realistic idea may be they could pledge the funds for moving the hand dryer in the men's toilet at the Crown and Treaty pub, which, as you probably have heard, is a in a terribly inconvenient location.

>What does this have to do with startups?

You know, I used to have this style view when reading and commenting Slashdot, pre-9/11 about anything other than "the tech".

Afterward, in high school, I began to feel that understanding the foundations of geopolitics can help you maintain an advantage in the business world.

>The main benefit of Brexit is that the EU is now able to use English as a neutral universal language which is both commonly-known and doesn't favor any individual member state.

Ireland was a signatory to the Maastricht Treaty, but once again we are reminded of the need to equally consider smaller nations when discussing EUwide matters ;-)

And I don't think Brexit had any benefits. They already don't use the Euro so they can do weird neoliberal wonk stuff to their heart's contents, and they have nukes so we'll be feeding them one way or another so why worry? (That's what we've taught the world by letting NK get them BTW.)

I went from being told I'm creepy because I'm too aggressive to being told I'm creepy I react too calmly to their meltdowns and threats of violence.

It's useful in avoiding an adrenaline spike and pausing to think about how to handle something.

I struggle sometimes due to allergies lately.

It's a shame due to Brexit there will be no Count Binface €10.

I don't like to steal jokes, and a good one I heard somewhere is that Star Trek is a utopia because they don't have social media.

No, I only play IRL, I think you need to be able to read people to do well. I also play sit and go as opposed to tournaments.

Does poker count?

I'm not sure if I should have gone all in with that full house or if I'd have scared the calling station with my reputation of check raising people into a walk to the ATM.

I only won a hundred and twenty five dollars -- I don't track the tips on drinks and winning hands. (You tip even for a water, coffee, or refreshing tomato juice. You can get alcohol, but I recommend if you sit down with me for a Texas Hold 'Em, you do it with a clear head.)

I was there... about four hours?

Learned a lot, and this week anytime I want, I can have a succulent Chinese meal.

(I don't think it qualifies as an "eccentric hobby", but I like Sichuan food, and it's a shame that in many cities across America, you gotta drive a bit to get a nice cumin lamb or some mapo tofu.)

You did not say where your bachelors is from. There is a lot of gatekeeping around degrees -- having Cambridge on your CV will open doors you didn't even know existed.

Also, how much is the degree, and how are you financially? I would not advise going into debt for a MS.

>Someone should establish the Interplanetary Sun Orbiting Service.

I hope they have one of those logos with a bunch of weird freemason symbols that freak people out.

Cool, for these things it's better to not have the only option be a PR. Good luck with your project!

Verify you have a well established way to contact you about security vulnerabilities. (There will be vulnerabilities. Things like "anonymous mode" are harder than you'd think to make... trust me.)

old reddit is useful for osint :-(

(tor friendly)

Ok, I don't know their emotional state. Fair point.

Maybe I'm projecting my own biases ;-)

The bigger takeaway is someone that smart is pissed off and dropping their shit with zero warning... but hey, that's just like, my opinion man.

never thought being a script kiddie would make me smart, but here we are in 2026.

i had one place, they were using all these shady pay with a credit card for "points" to do these web gui things that were... basically nmap, dig, etc?

so i wrote up a small shell script that took in the servers our (often nonprofit) clients wanted scanned...

and so we could lower our costs and free up analyst time -- but sadly they often found out they had out of date windows boxen they couldn't afford to fix, and we'd have to settle for getting them onto MFA, using password managers and basics like that.

people overvalue AI imho. people are getting weak, they don't teach themselves the concepts that would allow them to make best use of AI.

anyways, i think the type of person freaking out is the same who's been cutting and pasting from stack overflow rather than learning enough to grab a book or read up on a library to get the needful done.

but hey, what do i know? i'm just some freak on hacker news

(proudly writing w/o AI :-))

I see a lot of essays on noncommercial self hosted blogs on HN.

Meant to title it "99 Problems...". Apologies for the error!

schadenfreude

They recently raised the enlistment age, so there's always the comedy option I could be the oldest man in officer's boot apparently.

But to be coerced into servitude after "doing things right" sits unwell with me.

I was more lamenting that I thought I was trading my time for income, and ended up with neither income nor free time.

I'm involuntarily destitute, not involuntarily celibate :-)

>Vienna waits for you

I've been there before, but its my understanding I'd have visa issues doing anything beyond tourism.

>Stop living for your idea of others and start living for yourself.

Unfortunately, I exhausted my emergency fund trying for certs and attempting to escape a domestic violence situation, so I do not have that option. I'm trapped.

>He got all of the "Free Kevin" attention because of how long he was left in jail before trial and then being stuck in solitary confinement after sentencing for months.

That was uncalled for on the part of DOJ.

>He was also autistic, a lot of the behavior can be explained through that lens.

I'm autistic. Maybe I should go commit a bunch of felonies to increase my chances of a good job and stature in the hacker community, since things like publishing code, publishing peer reviewed papers, and mentoring newbies have not been productive ways of finding gainful employment nor respect of my peers.

I have friends who did things like take a gap year to travel the world or met their spouses on nights I stayed in to study, and some evenings when browsing HN I feel very sad that I wasted my 20s on a society that does not care about me.

Anyways, sorry to wall of text, but what you said really struck a nerve with me -- there are hierarchies in any community, and one thing I've noticed with the hacker scene is one group of people can mess up over and over using the same sets of facts or diagnoses, but others can expect to have worse outcomes with better behavior for reasons that elude me to this day.
