if all the builders are laid off, what is there left to hack?

soon after that, the laid-off hackers become the next builders :)

circles. revolutions. until its learned to see whats ahead, then it can be diverted to something new

Option L) Hacker realizes theres more to be gained from joining the builders and shows both sides how to secure their lots against people worse than them

if you're lucky, you can do something like first.sec.ond

works for many polish people who own ski resorts :)

> It instills a Panopticum-like philosophy in said kids since their very early ages

Santa Claus has been around since before airtags; you dont need technology to make kids fearful of invisible retribution, just a clever song ("he sees you when youre sleeping, he knows when youre awake")

> I can remember two times I fell asleep on the bus, and ended up some other place, and had to figure out how to get home from there, by myself.

if it involved asking a business (car service in my case) to let you use their phone, or already having a quarter and using a payphone to call mom... thats an airtag :)

> a child might get accustomed to this "saving" being automatic

i dont fear a perfectly functioning society; im an adult and am also used to 911/999/etc being available. some people watch Demolition Man and get the wrong idea...

when it is other nation states that are attacking, its up to the nation you are in to defend you. you dont expect costco to defend itself against Spetznaz?

honestly blame Elmo / DOGE for this; they are the $company who divested your security for you, thinking you could just "wing" it too

> "guy is really, really into hobby to obsessional levels, to the detriment of the rest of his life"

something about how tarpit skeletons are mostly male :P

> being able to stay out a bit longer, solve sudden problems without calling mom, or just sit alone

none of these are prevented when you have an airtag in your pocket

my hesitation is from knowing these _dont_ work: by the time airtag shows where someone actually is that isnt a 500m circle, you can see them with your analog eyes :/

ah beans

is there a list

"You are walking along the beach. You see a tortoise laying on its back in the hot sun. You don't help it get up; why is that?"

> There will never be power without violence.

not with that attitude :P

> And the bigger entities had power to assimilate either by force or by diplomacy smaller entities. Why would it occur differently this time?

maybe the final form is one giant super-state, made up of smaller nation-states, itself containing multiple city-states, surrounded and cooperating with neighboring estates

League of Nations -> UN -> ???

hope it doesnt take a third WW to clear that up :(

> because that is how the existing powers maintain contro

if that's how existing powers maintain control, then the new status quo _cannot_ be violent

otherwise it would just be another participant in the existing power struggle

it seems impossible because it hasn't happened, but that doesnt mean it cant necessarily. we discover new things about our selves every day :)

> Anarchy is a necessary part of the transition

perhaps a rebranding is necessary

how about... Freedom Prime. Super Freedom. Hyperliberty

> I never opted into any of the laws to which I am subjected, and I have zero bargaining power.

the balance seemed to lie with the body of the citizen of the state: if someone didnt agree with their leader/laws, they simply laid down their arms when a benevolent invader / reformer arrives

it doesn't have to be violent

putting this on the same machine as my pihole :)

how long until we can set up an Omni-Block Box?

personally i just like how if someone questions my release, theyre welcome to check out my pipeline

> wasn't designed for how it's used often used today where one party has zero bargaining strength.

so any party that binds another in such an agreement is knowingly acting in bad faith

> As a developer/publisher you either provide a product available for purchase for a reasonable price (not larger than release price, adjusted for inflation) OR you are not allowed to take down game preservation efforts.

i worked at a place where to get anything done, you had to demonstrate "Business Impact": is what you're about to do going to actually help revenue? if not, move on to something that does

i agree, a suit should only be taken seriously if the company can demonstrate that they are actively losing revenue because of the game preservation effort, otherwise toss it in the bin

why are big name businesses wasting money on litigating against small sites that dont actually impact them anyway? perhaps if they knew that their lawyers were wasting time chasing frivolous suits and actually costing their company's good will, while not actually giving their business impact...

its not a definite, but it seems that the projects that get taken down the quickest are the ones that try to run ads / monetize the work

the people that just put out a cute site and stay low tend not to attract lawyers

> I am also tired of people still looking suspicious at me for not having instagram, snap or tiktok or use whatsapp, it's like I dropped out of society,

social media was designed to appear like it is society, endorsed by the same people who _made_ the society

i think its all just an illusion to make us work harder :(

i guess if i have some sort of internet access (otherwise why would i be worrying about passwords), i'd set up a new account(s) and message those friends

> it is economically unfeasible to manufacture or mine anything in space if it needs to be transported down or up

leave it in space then; massive star ships shouldnt need to come down to planets anyway

> You wake up in a strange place. Something happened. Everything's gone. No wallet/keys/smartphone/tablet/laptop.

at this point the _last_ thing i care about is my email.

where am i? am i ok? how are my friends/loved ones?

once those are in place, it becomes clearer how to get back to "normal"

currently following some other posts made here on HN with a similar goal; inspired honestly by that mini-firmware project a few days ago

nothing i'm proud enough to open to the world yet, but my personal public server will be my first deployment, and will definitely "Show HN" then too :)

personally have started going the other way: AI-assisted microkernels, and only the programming that is actually needed for the problem at hand

my webserver never needed a million lines of code just to pass bytes to other people

ah i guess that could be rolled into the level select: scaling the ball progresses through the collections, making it a linear experience, but one that could be more.... curated :D

> I've always felt different

visit new york city's lower east side

everyone here is different :)

there was an inkjet printer that had a special tray for CD/DVDs

the intent was to add artwork to the discs, but if you put a copper-plated board in there, printed on a circuit board, and etched away the area left behind, you'd be almost there :)

drilling holes and thru plating is my least favorite step tho
