What if you spent 80000 hours on your mental health instead of this? You do have a choice

One case 14 years ago that didn’t prevent a terrorist attack is a terrible reason to give up civil liberties

People forget how much time they spent learning something when they were younger. I feel like a lot of adults give up and use age as an excuse for not trying new things.

But that won't happen. If you have evidence on your phone of a crime you committed you're not going to give the phone to the police to look at. Therefor we end up with no crimes solved instead of one. Ontop of that, because everyone knows that a criminal can no longer report a rape, there's a carte blanche to rape anyone who falls into that category without consequence.

Self incrimination is not the same as a false accusation.

Imagine if the person raped committed a different crime, unrelated to the rape, for which there was evidence of that on their phone.

In order to report the rape, they have to self incriminate themself for that crime as well? In this scenario any drug user, prostitute or other criminal has no protection from the law against being raped.

No- the prosecution does not have to search for and provide evidence that may exonerate the defense, that would be ridiculous.

I'm a really happy person but I love depressing music

This seems a tad unethical

maybe you need some funding then

How will this work?

The ideas in the article are dumb, approximately 0 people will upload their passport to a porn site or go and buy a pass from a newsagent.

The article makes out that VPN’s could be made illegal at some point, that’s not even technically possible. It’s like legislators have no clue what this stuff is.

Why is this joke submission Number 1 on Show HN with only 4 updates while there are lots of entries on /shownew with more upvotes that never reach /show?

That works until all your favourite podcasts get bought up by distribution channels (eg see Spotify’s acquisition of gimlet media)

> Reach has been growing and only a small proportion of listening is online. However, we should heed the lessons of other industries and change before we have to.

I too have been wondering how long podcasts will remain using RSS before being utterly demolished by paid for platforms.

Can you imagine if we had TV content shared over RSS? Actually pirates have distributed content through RSS for a long time and it was a much better UX than anything offered by the big players.

Good on the BBC for thinking ahead and taking difficult steps to protect consumers.

So basically nothing in the grand scheme of anything.

Thanks for your service

Is there really nothing better?

Why is this on GitHub if there’s no source?

You pay around 40% effective tax rate at £150k. It doesn't really matter exactly where the money goes, at the end of the day the budget has to made by the chancellor and they'll funnel money from NI to other areas and vice versa if they need to.

Still a good deal though.

This argument does hold significant validity, unfortunately there is an irrational need to ensure that a minority are not exploiting the system, even at the cost of those who pay for the system.

For example, I think all buses in London should be free. Look around the bus and you'll see that most people aren't directly paying (under 16, over 60, on benefits) and by taking away the need to check for payment we could get people on and off the buses much faster and completely remove the need for card readers.

It's not because you are a non-native speaker. It's not a widely used English term without the word Insurance in front of it, however it is a standard American English term.

It is also not the costs "not covered by health insurance", rather the insurance premium is the cost of the policy itself.

It's unclear if this exploit / malware was capable of actually encrypting files or if it did something else which could easily be fixed without data loss. I think most peoples reaction would be to pull out their phones and google how to fix it.

Shouldn't this be, if you're not going to print the article, here's a version in a format actually designed for consumption over the web.

It clearly says they don't.

It's the name of the ethereum JS library:

The idea is that cryptocurrencies will represent the 3rd wave of the internet after web 2.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

Although Tim Berners lee tried to coin web 3.0 as the semantic web but that's not really taken off as a concept.

It's crucial to UX. Otherwise if you want to buy something you need to switch to the crypto wallet, pay for it by copying and pasting addresses and wait for the other side to pick up your transaction and show confirmation in the browser.

How can they do this for free?

Perhaps 100 hours of slaying monsters in Diablo helps prepare a child for 40 hours a week performing menial tasks for the rest of their life?

How can you test this or other serverless apps? Is it possible to run a local env that replicates AWS?

It was no different to YouTube’s...
