napworth··on Rare Photos from Inside North Korea's 'Hotel of Doom' (2023)
I believe those are the same thing. You tell me you have rare photos from inside the Titan Submersible, I'm going to expect multiple story defining shots from inside. Not just stock photos of the sea.

napworth··on Ask HN: What are some good technology blogs to follow?

Also the guy created Markdown. Show some respect. http://daringfireball.net

napworth··on UK's new Snoopers Charter just passed an encryption backdoor law by the backdoor
I've been wondering, do we have any idea on what type of data they'll be recording now?

- If I use a VPN, will all my traffic come up as that VPN?

- How will they link an internet connection to a person? Will it be done on the name they used when they signed up, their house address, or their billing details?
