I worry about the durability of USB C ports. I have 4 laptops >5 years old with loose USB C ports, Apple and HP brands, and yes i have cleaned them looking for lint. I don't know if it's these specific laptops or if the port is designed for obsolescence.

"child marriage is still legal in 44 states in the United States"

"child marriage is more common in the southern United States"

Because there's a concerted right-wing effort to elevate any negative news about California.

But "child marriage is still legal in 44 states in the United States"

A better design for ethernet on thin laptops is a hinge that expands when the cable is plugged in: https://1.img-dpreview.com/files/p/TS560x560~forums/59371721...

There's also the issue that the more justice-minded SF DA was recently kicked out and an aggressive pro-police DA installed.

Why is it creepy? The influencers already publicly posted their location and photo.

I don't feel too bad for them and their $36 mill.

The type of hot-button political grievances that make it to the HN front page are an indication of the demographics here.

But the politics suck so it'll never happen.

Patreon is kind of known for sudden unexpected mass layoffs unrelated to their financials. Previous to this I know of it happening twice.

Already happened across the bay in Oakland. Unfortunately Oakland police is so dysfunctional that it's impossible to know if decriminalization has caused any change in problematic public behaviors.

Why would you need a supercomputer to figure this out instead of putting simple sensors on the bikes in a peloton?

Yuck, I'd quit your team. That level of micromanagement is demoralizing and it hurts the company. "Sorry support, I have zero autonomy. I can't talk to you unless my manager adjusts some number in some spreadsheet"

The web is only 20 or so years old so these online speech issues are new.

As a long time daily biker I don't understand the trend of heftier more powerful ebikes. Instead of bulking a bike up to me it makes more sense to slim cars down.

I've been trying to find tiny electric two seater cars, but I've been disappointed in the lack of anything in the US, they're more available in europe and Japan.

Actually now that I typed this comment out I think I understand the trend of heftier ebikes, it's a way to skirt the regulations around making a "street legal" vehicle, which is what prevents any innovation in the <$10k tiny car segment.

If Gruber had gotten behind that initiative it probably would've worked but he was weirdly antagonistic to it.

Here's what the temperature anomaly looks like for "the whole globe" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haBG2IIbwbA

Oh thanks for the Biden mention. I was confused by your convoluted yet harsh complaint about the US for this action, but now I see it was more of a partisan thing.

Wow. As a more left-wing person I've been shadow banned on HN for much less than this. HN used to be one of the few places where intelligent debate accros political spectrum was allowed. If you look at this whole comment thread all you see is one POV.

What they don't have is the necessary internet connection unless you're willing to pay a cell phone bill just for that purpose.

Why not stop showing news snippets?

How can you trust the mailing lost when the accused are the heavy-handed moderators of that list?

Yes it's extremely unfair that the West used up what turned out to be the planet's entire carbon budget. But it doesn't change the fact that humanity has to stop emitting carbon.

Who determines that their is "clear evidence". Shouldn't a judge be involved?

Be careful what you say or Modi will demand that Hacker News hire a local Indian censor.

When Trump was trying to ban Chinese TikTok because he didn't like the young users making fun of him I supported TikTok.

You have to realize that your government uses anti-American feelings to push their propaganda.

A lot of Indians trust Twitter more than Modi, especially non-Hindus.

So many supposedly principled free-market libertarians and conservatives tying themselves in knots so that Trump can continue to push his lies. The american conservative movement, like nationalists everywhere, have no principles bedsides power. And with the new permanent conservative judiciary there are many victories in their future. Our democracy is in peril but if you look at places like Russia and China they seem stable enough, maybe the death of the American world order won't be so bad.

My personal anecdote is more proof than what BuyMyBitcoins provided for his assertion.

I don't think your story about Twitter banning skepticism about surface cleaning is true. I remember being involved in several long Twitter threads on that topic with no one being banned.

Ron Desantis rules by virtue signalling, it doesn't matter if the law is effective as long as it angers liberals and pleases conservatives.
