akjainaj··on Make America Hate Again
The only way he's getting impeached is if he does something illegal. Taking into account how the spotlight is on him 24/7, I'm sure he won't do anything dumb that could get him impeached.

I like Pence much better than Trump, but nope, that's not going to happen.

akjainaj··on Make America Hate Again
You can do whatever you want about Trump, I simply had enough of reading about it on Hacker News. These articles are not of my interest, and I don't think so many of them belong in this site, so I flag them because I don't want to see any more of them here.

I am not speaking for the rest of people who flagged them, of course. Just for myself.

akjainaj··on Trump’s Next Move on Immigration to Hit Closer to Home for Tech
>Companies would have to try to hire American first and if they recruit foreign workers, priority would be given to the most highly paid.

Wow, that's horrible. I mean, a country giving preference to their own kind. When is this nightmare going to end?

akjainaj··on Cryptkeeper sets the same password “p” independently of user input
What if you create a folder, encrypt it, and then never bother to mount it again? You'd think it's safe when it isn't.

Thank you but I use Windows.

Is there a way to use a stable version of Chromium that automatically updates?
akjainaj··on WGA screenwriting credit system
That's simply not true. In fact if they never strike it's because their union is powerful and can always get what they want without needing to go on strike.
akjainaj··on Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the US
If you do this please then release the % of users who've been told "you've been chosen to host a Muslim refugee" and have accepted ;^}

It's easy to pretend you're hospitable and generous when you're not paying the toll of your actions. You're not providing "free housing", the actual owners of the houses are. This is a unilateral announcement because you don't know if hosts will accept.

>attempting to lay claim over every individual's body

If that's the way it's going to be, why not let them simply die when they OD?

akjainaj··on Time to Take a Stand
I would absolutely love to hear more about this. Any book/documentary/movie you can recommend?
akjainaj··on Time to Take a Stand
Yes, don't worry--I'll stay away from a city that has 250 property crimes and 80 violent crimes every day while those in power keep looking the other way to be politically correct.

15 humans lost their lives yesterday in shootings, 268 during January: http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/shootings

I suppose that'll end when Trump sends the Feds as he's promised on Twitter, though.

>How we can't go anywhere without the fear of being shot and killed by other black people.

I'm not from the US but this really looks awful. I wouldn't set foot on this city even if you paid me a million dollars. http://crime.chicagotribune.com/

>Although those countries aren't affected by the ban, who knows when Trump will decide to change his mind at his whim.

The ban on muslims is not something he decided "at his whim", but something he promised he'd do if he won the presidency.

Turns out he did win, and he's delivering on his promises.

akjainaj··on MEGA source code
Many of those projects you mentioned were state-funded.

The client side source is downloaded and executed by your browser and you can inspect it at any time.

Whatever they release, there is no way to prove that that is the code that is actually running on their servers.

Without IP we'd be stuck with really shitty software: nobody would ever waste millions in writing something just so somebody else can copy it the next day. Same as medicine patents, copyright of art, etc

Aren't profit motivation and IP good enough arguments?

All OAuth tokens, even the official ones, are leaked at this point. Google them.
akjainaj··on I cannot continue working on my add-ons
I didn't know about that. I'm liking it a lot, even more than Tree Style Tabs, because I just wanted vertical tabs, not the rest of it (the tree, etc). But as someone else has said they will just abandon this because it'll "confuse users" so it's like I'm using a feature with an expiration date :(
akjainaj··on I cannot continue working on my add-ons
It's just incredible that they're going to do away with XUL. Imagine if Google somehow decided to remove all the Android apps in the Play Store and told everybody to rewrite their apps or die. And what's even worse, most addon writers don't even receive money for that.

This is going to kill the addon community but I guess they don't care at all.

akjainaj··on I cannot continue working on my add-ons
Heh. Funny that I just updated to Firefox Developer Edition 53 and now Tree Style Tab (one of the addons that will go when XUL stuff does) has severe theming issues and weird flickers.

It'd be nice if a mod could change the title to "I cannot continue working on my Firefox add-ons"

akjainaj··on Trump order strips privacy rights from non-U.S. citizens
I wish I could gild comments like they do on reddit. Chapeau.

Saying things like that the "holocaust" never happened, or preaching against homosexuality (straight from the Holy Bible), is illegal in the EU.

akjainaj··on Craig Newmark donates $500k to reduce harassment on Wikipedia
I didn't say "worst site ever", I said the community is insufferable. If you don't edit you don't have to deal with the monkeys there and thus the website is, as you've said, the greatest encyclopedia to have existed in the history of the world and blah blah. But don't you dare to register.
