Can_Not··on NFTs Are a Dangerous Trap

Sounds more like a blackmirror episode to be honest.

Can_Not··on Ask HN: Always on low power home server

Every laptop I've owned with a removable battery worked on wall power without the battery.

Can_Not··on Biden to sign order to build 'China-free' tech supply chain

Well, go ahead, don't be vague, don't leave us hanging.

Can_Not··on Biden to sign order to build 'China-free' tech supply chain

> However, defense analysts point out that the US remains far ahead in the key metric of tonnage, meaning the US Navy operates much larger warships than China.

It looks like China only has "largest" if you go by raw ship count, which is probably misleading.

Can_Not··on Biden to sign order to build 'China-free' tech supply chain

I remember the campaign ads suggesting Biden would sell us out to China (or something), but I don't remember any factual basis for pushing that narrative.

Can_Not··on Go is not an easy language

> the competition to Go isn't Ruby and Python, it's C++ and Rust.

Crystal is a pretty solid alternative to golang.

Can_Not··on Things you should do now (2011)

I don't know rails, but that is just terrible design. address.com/accounts/404 is what the devs should have used, and "404" is a response code and an error page, not a URL you redirect/rewrite URLs to.

Can_Not··on Diablo II: Resurrected

First time I played D2 might have been in 2010 with people who played D1&D2 on release. It was genuinely one of the worst games I had ever played.

Can_Not··on Diablo II: Resurrected

> It felt more like playing some kind of diablo themed version of gauntlet

Which gauntlet game is your point of reference?

Can_Not··on Uber drivers are workers not self employed, Supreme Court rules

So you'd be wasting the judge's time with a frivolous lawsuit the same way you're wasting our time with a frivolous starwman?

Can_Not··on Parler is back online after a month of downtime

Keep this kind of rhetoric up and you'll end up gaslighting us straight into a real 1984.

Can_Not··on Parler is back online after a month of downtime

It's hard to say captchas are or aren't enough because you know most companies just want your phone number for ulterior motives.

Can_Not··on How will 'chipageddon' affect you?

I wouldn't call it "cheap" if it's not cheap for a new player to enter the market, but instead only marginally cheap for established players.

Can_Not··on Remembering Windows 3.1 themes and user empowerment

Feels like we're living life after the fall of Rome.

Can_Not··on Show HN: 128-bit, roughly-ordered, URL-safe UUIDs

Then you have https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

Even with a small number of users per second (like 20) it becomes likely to happen often.

Can_Not··on Ajit Pai Is Officially Gone

Baselessly asserting technologically literate people and anti-parler people are the same group? That's a bold agendapost.

Can_Not··on Parler Hosting Requirements

I thought it was clearly a joke, implying they had electron running server-side, maybe even running their app through cypress in production for time travel debugging?

But I actually do want to know they language(s) and framework(s).

Can_Not··on Google Images Restored

Wouldn't that be LinkedIn's fault for (presumably) not marking the sidebar as "not SEO content"? A few other websites have been destroying my searches this way.

Can_Not··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler

> I can’t think of something less American than a bunch of business owners ganging together to strangle the life out of a small business

This is the most American thing I can think of if you remove the last bit about "because of politics".

Can_Not··on Malware on My Android Phone

The ads went away when I uninstalled it and reported it.

Can_Not··on Malware on My Android Phone

I had a QR scanner installed for _years_ before it started (in December) giving me chrome pop-ups for spammy links. The dev is even on the app store lying saying the ads are in the app when the app is actually covertly waking itself up to open chrome.

Can_Not··on Parler LLC vs. Amazon Web Services Inc

Which was done by a "Boogalo Boi", not an antifa or BLM.

Can_Not··on Ecosia – A search engine that plants trees

Ecosia, the Android app that is a browser with this search engine as a default, installed a search bar into my taskbar without my consent. It disappeared recently. Does anyone know how to get it back?

Can_Not··on The Platform Is the Enemy

Spotify's algorithm clearly doesn't know how to find music I like, but it's (afaik) a harmless heuristic that accidentally gets it right a few times.

Can_Not··on The Platform Is the Enemy

I don't mind taking personal responsibility and (anyone) getting handouts, things are a bit incorrectly tuned as far as laws go though.

Can_Not··on Archivists Are Preserving Capitol Hill Riot Livestreams Before They’re Deleted

Arguementum Ad BLM - you mentioned BLM, therefore any criticism of the capital protests are invalid.

Can_Not··on Google suspending Parler from the Google Play store

It is practical actually, it's like downloading an exe or dmg with maybe an extra security hurdle (settings -> enable installing apps from $X). Plus you could make your own play store clone like F-droid and I think amazon made their own, too.

> I came back and found my comment to be more polarizing than expected...

You basically said "people who disagree are mostly children".
