No mention of the page-view counter?

Remember those, we'd put the message "just a counter, don't click" beneath them.

huntermeyer··on Trump’s new social media platform found using Mastodon code
The First Step Act was a major push towards criminal justice reform - something all parties claim they'll do but don't deliver on.

Also his tax reform led to lower and middle class families paying significantly less federal income taxes while at the same time increasing treasury deposits.

Tax reform and criminal justice reform were part of his agenda and those were accomplishments.

We may have to come together as a society and deem these social media apps as being a harm to society, especially the youth.

Perhaps even age restrict them like alcohol, gambling, etc.

huntermeyer··on Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity
This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.
huntermeyer··on I won over $55M in the lottery, but didn’t tell my friends or family
Did you have to pay a gift tax for each friend?

Did each friend have to pay income tax on the money/property you gave them?

How was the house actually paid for, did you give the friends cash or did you buy the house for them and somehow gift it to them?

huntermeyer··on NYC to mandate proof of vaccination for many indoor settings
The vaccines kids have to get have a very high (near certainty) probability of preventing them from contracting the particular illness.

The covid vaccines do not. People are still getting covid after being vaccinated. This is happening a lot.

Millions of memes were suddenly silenced.
huntermeyer··on Brave Search beta
No they didn't. This is misinformation. They didn't replace ads in a webpage. They displayed ads via desktop notifications or push-notifications. The end user opts in for this.
huntermeyer··on Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project
Repl.it CEO had this to say:

> There is a difference between copying a feature and actually getting intro a contract, and access to the code, copying it and calling it open-source.

> As a matter of principle, when someone goes into your home and steals from you, even if it's not material, you have to respond.

I was expecting more courses focused on databases.
huntermeyer··on Site Isolation in Firefox
Does anyone else get ANNOYED by the UI of Mozilla's blog on mobile?

Looking at the navbar, the horizontal and vertical alignment is all over the place, the search input has no placeholder or label, background colors are inconsistent, and paddings are just bizarre.

huntermeyer··on A police dog who cried drugs at every traffic stop
Plus they can't testify. You can't cross-examine or dipose a dog.

That's all I need to know to feel strongly that dogs should not be used to establish probable cause.

huntermeyer··on Show HN: A Windows 7 web desktop recreation
Awesome!

I think the icons should "snap" to a grid in traditional Windows fashion (unless I'm mistaken).

Your design behaves more like MacOS where you can drop icons anywhere.

huntermeyer··on Afraid to Google a thing because I don't want the algorithm to think I like it
I sometimes want to rewatch a funny scene, but the fear of having to sit through a 2min ad on Hulu after I press the back button outweighs the few seconds of joy I'd get from that scene. Nor is it worth the money to upgrade.
huntermeyer··on Hackers post 25,971 files stolen from Broward schools
Wow. You've jumped to so many conclusions here.

First you assume the family is poor. Second, you assume the laptop was _accidentally_ broken. Third, you assume the family has no other computer.

From what evidence do you draw ANY of your conclusions?

Plenty of rich or middle-class individuals steal things. It's not just the poor.
