Tell me one.

I don't want to defend them, but the alternative is that they do nothing and you don't know about the vulnerability until a bad actor exploits it (something easy and cheap nowadays).

I'm confused, would you welcome that more?

That will also decrease the number of true positives

Both Spanish and Catalan are the official languages in Catalonia, and actually there are more people who speak only Spanish than people who speak only Catalan.

These specific rioters I watched spoke Spanish, although by the accent you could see that they were foreigners or second-gen foreigners.

To me, it was shocking to watch the street interviews with the rioters, where they were just repeating the same exact slogans from the French protests, but badly translated to Spanish (like a literal word-by-word translation that was weird and made no sense).

Tangentially to the topic, I always found funny that in Mass Effect it was possible to hook up with men, women, and even aliens with their bodies covered in space-burkas, and nobody bat an eye, but polygamy was completely off limits: if you tried to establish a relationship with two at the same time, everybody just gets angry at you and you only face rejection.

Which option was chosen for the Linux kernel?

Nah, that would still be just 2 projections.

If you could perceive real 3D, you would be able to "see" completely everything in a scene, including the back of objects, or objects behind other opaque objects.

The announced range of this car is 250km / 150 miles

I think part of the thing is the scarcity of activities like this, having it for free at home will probably kill the mood.

It's like video game arcades. When you had to pay to play for 2 minutes, it was way more exciting than now playing in an emulator

I wonder what kind of life the author has in order to start 9 disputes worth $12k in just 7 months.

The only dispute I had in the last year is some $3 tweezers I ordered on Amazon that never shipped, and Amazon automatically reimbursed the money.

I wonder if Stonehenge was only for demonstrating some tribe's engineering capabilities too

Datacenters need a source of water, and human populations are usually concentrated in those places too for the same reason.

That would be trivial to DDoS

No demo video?

> why is the sky blue?

> The sky is blue because of something called Rayleigh scattering. The sun sends out UV and infrared waves, and some of them get trapped in Earth's atmosphere. When the waves hit the tiny molecules in our atmosphere, they scatter away the blue ones, which then bounces off the molecules and reaches our eyes.

"filtered to the U.S. elementary-school curriculum", suuure

Why was this pointless "artistic" performance worth describing in so much detail? What a loss of time, both for the author and the readers.

> Are there any other Operating Systems than iOS, Android or Android flavors

Yes, there are many more: GNU/Linux, Windows, macOS, *BSD, etc.

This will prevent people who only own a computer and not a modern iOS/Android smartphone from accessing services and platforms.

This also sets a very strong anti-competition pressure. Which company will try now to invest on developing a new OS for smartphones if we already know users will not be able to access the most popular services & platforms with it?

I'm the owner of a 2025 Dacia Jogger. It has a physical button to disable all warnings and alarms, which I really appreciate, but I still need to press that button twice (with ~1s of delay between pushes), and I need to do it every time I turn the car on.

I bought the model with no internet connection, so the speed limit is automatically read by the front camera, and it's usually wrong. Although the alarm can be disabled, it still shows a distracting visual warning on the dashboard. I covered mine with duck tape, but now everyone who goes into the car asks me why I'm covering a warning with duck tape, and I have to explain them every time.

I converted the car into a camper, but some digital features are always on, even when the car is off.

For example, the car continuously detects the wireless key, so I bought some Faraday cage wallets to store them while we sleep. However, they don't work, so at the end I had to make my own Faraday cage wallets with aluminum foil and duck tape (yeah, in this project I found that duck tape is really versatile).

Another issue that really bothers me is that the car detects movement, even when it is completely off. Whenever I'm sleeping and I change position, the center screen lights on, some relays start to click, and some fan runs for a couple of seconds. Then, after ~10 seconds everything turns off again. It drives me crazy.

I got this car just because I wanted something shorter than 4.5m (but that could fit a 120 x 190 cm bed), with a reliable engine (this is a 1.6L from 2005, created by Renault & Nissan, without any known issues), and without internet connection. I reviewed hundreds of cars, and this was basically our only option in our country.

Has this ever happened?

So let's trust all future Governments to never remove the 6-month law?

Once the whole technical system is implemented, it will be trivial to remove that bureaucratic limitation, and somehow it will be sold as better protection for the children.

In your proposed scheme, it is in the best interest of web sites to store the certificates from users indefinitely, since it's the only evidence they have that prove that their users are not minors.

Since authorities have the power of accessing that data and identify the user who created the certificate, this scheme is not anonymous.

Authorities can access that data via court orders today, or via a global automatic mandatory data sharing law in the future.

In the example of USA, even if for some reason people still trust the current Government (although ICE already accessed private medical records to track and arrest people), I don't see why they should trust all future Governments which will have retroactive access to all that data.

Good call on censoring yourself preemptively, otherwise HN could demonetize your comment

It is a red flag that in the "SimpleX Roadmap to Free Internet" section they refer to 2024 as "Now" and they explain their expansion plans for 2025 as something in the future. It is weird that this is in the home page of their official web site.

Mandatory package screenings to detect explosives? I don't know if that's technically feasible at scale, or if that's already implemented (and I'd prefer not to ask that kind of question to Google/ChatGPT)

Like sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free food, where the lack of something is sold as something positive.

I'd love to buy an ad-free, subscription-free, tracking-free, touchscreen-free car.

Out of work I wouldn't mind, but I spend 8h/day there and I am forced to work with these people, so I'd prefer to keep the drama out so that I can focus on solving problems.

The other person already demonstrated a lack of professionalism by sharing unverified AI slop so, in case of conflict, I wouldn't be surprised if they continued acting unprofessionally by spreading false rumors, unnecessarily escalating the situation to higher ups, secretly sabotaging the project, etc.

If I tell someone literally "What value do you have if you're just acting as a pipe to the AI?", I'm pretty sure my manager will schedule a quick 1:1 to ask me why I'm telling peers that they have no value.

This article's proposal for stopping sloppypasta is to convince the people who does it to stop doing it, but I am more interested on what someone who receives sloppypasta can do.

How do I tell my colleagues to stop contributing unverified AI output without creating tension between us?

I've never did that so far because I feel like I am either exposing their serious lack of professionalism or, if I wrongly assumed it was AI, I am plainly telling them that their work looks like bad AI slop.

Sorry, I clearly misunderstood you, I thought you were defending those laws.

I am aware that uneducated children will become everyone's problem sooner or later, but my argument is that, at the end of the day, in practice, like it or not, this is mostly in control of the parents. The root cause is that parents fail to provide education, modals, and preparation for being a balanced and responsible person that can control its own impulses, and now these same parents want to externalize their responsibilities to malicious Governments, at the expense of everyone's rights.

Giving away privacy for just patching one of the symptoms is a ridiculous ask, especially in this political environment, and especially when it could be tackled in different ways that don't imply losing privacy.

In my opinion, people will be unfit and uneducated in the future no matter what we do, and they will choose malicious leaders, and having privacy in that future will be better than not having it.
