And 2/3rds (and growing) of the Federal Budget is mandatory entitlement spending (Medicare, SS, etc), which Trump explicitly stated he won’t touch.

A Kindle or cover with Find My support would make my wife overflow with happiness.
monocularvision··on EFF statement on U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold TikTok ban
So you quote the extreme interpretation of the decision by the dissenters to describe what he believes as opposed to using his own words? Seems unfair.
monocularvision··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
Actually, both of those examples might be legal (assuming the form is applying for a permit for some specific event/location). Time, place, and manner restrictions have long been upheld by the courts. What isn’t legal, or at least what requires strict scrutiny, are content restrictions.

What exactly do you mean here by using the term “biased”? In what way is the Supreme Court “biased”?
monocularvision··on Nobody cares
Yep, right around your mid-40’s in my experience. Friends have said it started the day they woke up on their 40th birthday.
monocularvision··on App Should Have Been a Website (and Probably Your Game Too)
You do realize that it was the “open safari and do some searches for ebikes” step that causes you to get the ads in TikTok, right?

Thanks for the response!

I am curious: what about SFSVC interferes with the functionality of the site?

So cool and a great write up. Thanks for sharing!
monocularvision··on The 'Return to Office' Lies
Your edit is still wrong!

In context, the person was replying to someone who stated “I have read it all when it comes to RTO”. They stated they hadn’t seen a _blog post_ making _this point_ that RTO would cause more sickness. They were never addressing the claim that it does or does not. They were talking about the novelty of this argument for them.

You might want to slow down a bit and re-read what the person actually said in their comment.
monocularvision··on Covering the Supreme Court and the Judiciary in (Mostly) Plain English
I highly recommend Advisory Opinions (https://thedispatch.com/podcast/advisoryopinions/) for legal podcasts.

The two hosts are center-right, but I think their takes are largely pretty fair. Note: Sarah Isgur worked in the Trump Justice Department but is hardly a fan of Trump… again, I find her pretty fair minded).

monocularvision··on CFPB finalizes personal financial data rights rule
Thank you for the additional information. I should be more careful when wading into legal topics. I read section 1033 and I am not sure I agree that the final rule is destined to failure but I am definitely not a lawyer.
monocularvision··on CFPB finalizes personal financial data rights rule
What does Chevron Deference have to do with this?

Congress passed an explicit law saying financial companies have to offer the ability outlined in this rule. They state the CFPB needs to make rules to enable it and now they are doing so.

This entirely fits within the current Supreme Court doctrine around regulatory agencies.

Now, that’s not to say there might not be some other constitutional objection the the law itself…

monocularvision··on Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3
iOS already has all of the API required to integrate a password manager with the OS. Third party password managers can already integrate with both browsers and apps to provide passwords and password generation
monocularvision··on Show HN: One – A new React framework unifying web, native and local-first
Good luck!
monocularvision··on Show HN: One – A new React framework unifying web, native and local-first
As a native iOS mobile developer, I was curious so I got into the TestFlight and downloaded the demo app. Thoughts:

* Overall, not bad. Using React Native is far better than trying to mimic platform UI in the web, which is always terrible. * When tapping on an item on the “Feed”, the transition is made to the details _and then_ the navigation bar has a sudden title transition. This is weird. * The button in the upper left to switch between light and dark mode is nice but it should default to the system setting. It did not for me. * The Notifications tab content isn’t scrollable at all on my phone. Seems like a bug. * If you tap on an item in Notifications you navigate deeper in, but when you hit back you are back on the Feed tab.

Coming from native app development, it has the normal uncanny valley feeling that React Native gives off but for normal users they may not notice it as much.

monocularvision··on The best $4 ever spent
It’s so funny you mention this.

My family are pretty regular Disneyland goers. Last year we finally made it to Disney World for the first time.

My four “kids” were between the ages of 12-23.

And I think their favorite part of the trip was the Skyliner.

monocularvision··on Show HN: OBS Live-streaming with 120ms latency
Sounds great! We will give that a try. Already hopped on the Discord, I will let you know how it goes.
monocularvision··on Show HN: OBS Live-streaming with 120ms latency
I see the following statement in the README:

“You could also use P2P to pull other broadcasters into your stream. No special configuration or servers required anymore to get sub-second co-streams.”

I currently have this setup for doing a co-stream with a friend and it is terrible:

1. Friend is running OBS to capture his gameplay. 2. Friend has OBS streaming to a Raspberry Pi I have running at my house. 3. The Raspberry Pi is running nginx configured to accept the RTMP stream. 4. I run OBS on another machine to capture my gameplay, add overlays, etc. 5. My OBS has an input source using VLC to capture the stream from the Raspberry Pi.

The setup is awful. Video is pretty delayed and it often just stops working. I would love to look into this project but after reading through the README, I am unclear how I would use this for my setup. Any pointers?

monocularvision··on Ask HN: Which movies did you watch multiple times?
I am most definitely not a rewatcher of movies, at least not regularly. There are precisely two though I have seen many, many times:

* The Emperor’s New Groove. I have no idea why I find this movie so funny. It feels just so perfectly timed, quotable and something that I relate to. I still laugh at pretty much every joke. * Defending Your Life. Very similar to the above. Albert Brooks’ dry humor is just so perfect. This one gets funnier the more times you watch it. Underrated, IMO.

monocularvision··on Replicating D3 Charts with Swift Charts
Instead of axing the API, it will be allowed to languish with longstanding bugs going unaddressed in perpetuity. Not sure that’s better.

Do you mean Transmission the open source BitTorrent app for macOS? What’s the problem with it?

Wondering the same. Can’t seem to find the way to interact with this in the same way as the video demo.

I hope for this every single year. I just don’t see it happening. But I hope I am wrong.
monocularvision··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
As long as Apple keeps it locked down like an iPad, I don’t see much of a future for the device replacing general purpose computers in the workforce.

If you pay the $99, the cert don’t expire for a year. It is only the free account that has the 7-day limitation.
monocularvision··on Apple announces ability to download apps directly from websites in EU
Except in the real world, toys generally can’t do things like steal your private data and send confidential data to third parties.

If you’re going to come up with analogies, at least do something that is remotely applicable.

Maybe you are getting downvoted because you are wrong. On iOS, you cannot receive push notifications unless you have been added as a PWA to the home screen.
