karpatic··on DHS Disbands Illegal "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You came into this thread with all that heat, w/ no source, and ignoring the subject matter. Didn't mean to alienate you as a spook. Your views just align.
karpatic··on DHS Disbands Illegal "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group"
I get heavy 'spook' vibes from this users comment history. JW, but do do you have a source, sir? Couldn't find anything.
karpatic··on DHS Disbands Illegal "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group"
Never forget:

Sen. Ron Wyden: "So what I wanted to see is if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question, does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

James Clapper: "No, sir."

When asked if he lied to congress, Clapper said: "When Senator Wyden asked me the question I simply didn’t think of the business records telephony metadata, at the time stored by NSA..."

Anything this guy touches needs a thorough investigation.

karpatic··on Ask HN: How do you store your knowledge?
I store ALL my notes on charleskarpati(dot)com using .txt files or by using this tool I made: ipynb2web(dot)com

Ipynb content is mostly static content I'd like to share w people. It requires a git push to update.

.txt notes are stored on a php based shared host and managed via a hidden url. I use it for life notes, and todos. It's been working great so I plan on using this approach to add a blog to my site at some point.

My downloads folder just piles up till I sort what I can and dump the rest in my archive. The archive is real and an llm will sort it all out for me one day :) I hope.

karpatic··on Senate passes reauthorization of key US surveillance program after midnight
Elections are for show. D&R officials pick the winners. So much have been revealed in the courts. Vote 3rd party or this will continue.
karpatic··on Senate passes reauthorization of key US surveillance program after midnight
It was noticeable how hard the topic felt suppressed, even on hn somehow
karpatic··on The NSA is just days away from taking over the internet
The spirit of the law is being violated by a contorted interpretation of the letter of the law. I feel.
karpatic··on NPR suspends veteran editor as it grapples with his public criticism
A lil game I play is to see how long until a pandering buzzword is said from the time I turn on the radio. Usually T < 3 seconds if not the very first word I hear.
karpatic··on When Laws Make Divorce Easier, Women Benefit, Outcomes Improve (2019)
It's a bit wild to expect more than one in a simple comment change doesn't happen overnight and smart people are saying "it'sa coming"
karpatic··on Ask HN: Is the job market is bad as everyone claims it is?
There are 2-3x more applicants per job posting now than last year. I'd say yes.
karpatic··on U.S. National Park Service API
I'd consider it a public transit service. We wouldn't be upset about people using shuttle busses to get to the parks, would we? I think long term footing the bill for an open platform with principle beneficiaries who use it is fine so long as it provides a net benefit.
karpatic··on Coinbase tells judge that buying crypto is just like collecting Beanie Babies
'Legitimate' is a weasel word, as you use it. "No true Scottsman" and the like.
karpatic··on Coinbase tells judge that buying crypto is just like collecting Beanie Babies
Ever heard of getting debanked? Or being a refugee? Plenty of legal fund raising campaigns came to political ends. Forced conscription is going on in Ukraine and I've personally met someone who's only assets they could leave with was crypto because it wasn't in a bank.
karpatic··on Features and Benefits of Bluetooth Mesh 1.1 for Wireless Mesh Networking
Licensing is an issue for me. I don't want to pay to use name 'Bluetooth'. That being said who would buy an "IEEE 802.15.1 compliant" or "IEEE 802.15.1 enabled" device? No real way about getting clever about it like calling it "cyan enamel"
karpatic··on SpaceX Illegally Fired Workers Critical of Musk, Federal Agency Says
My apologies for the loose language. Indeed the question remains.
karpatic··on 95% of container ships are now going around the Southern Tip of Africa
You set up a straw man. An insincere response to an insincere question.
karpatic··on Jobs you're applying to might not be real
The comments here support the conjecture. So, there's that.
karpatic··on SpaceX Illegally Fired Workers Critical of Musk, Federal Agency Says
How is it MUSK's doing that a middle manager fired an employee?
karpatic··on SpaceX Illegally Fired Workers Critical of Musk, Federal Agency Says
Intentionally is my guess.
karpatic··on US agency will not reinstate $900M subsidy for Starlink
From what I understand, this is a political hatchet job. Space X still had 2 years to meet the the mark but capricious new standards are being applied specifically to them.
karpatic··on US agency will not reinstate $900M subsidy for Starlink
It sounds as though these new mitigating standards were brought out after the grant was already awarded which is where accusations of political malfeasance come into play.
karpatic··on To revive Portland, officials seek to ban public drug use
Appropriate response.
karpatic··on The elite's war on remote work has nothing to do with productivity
It's just a matter of time gamestop's volume dries up. It's a long game and we keep setting records as people continue to register shares directly with computershare.
