myopenid··on Landlord-friendly, self-install solar and battery kit
Care to explain why is it flamebait?
myopenid··on HashiCorp forbids its software being used in China
Or inversely they want to make sure the ciphers they use are reviewed and not backdoorable by adversaries (in this case the US).
myopenid··on Trump is set to announce an executive order against social media companies
Free speech for me but not for thee
myopenid··on Boeing cutting more than 12,000 U.S. jobs with thousands more planned
Just maintain the underdog start-up public perception, like Google, and all will be forgiven in 2055.
myopenid··on China’s Communist Party and Its American Media Enablers
Consider it as a compliment that China thinks your propaganda is too potent for the Chinese population to handle.
myopenid··on China’s Communist Party and Its American Media Enablers
Roping China into this is akin to saying "America kills high school students for fun" for what a few psychos did.
myopenid··on China’s Communist Party and Its American Media Enablers
China pissed off the US so much they blacklisted Huawei, and threatens anyone working with it.
myopenid··on China’s Communist Party and Its American Media Enablers
Lol. American movies also tend to romanticize the wars they wage.
myopenid··on Siri, What Time Is It in London?
Haha! I actually flew into the wrong airport because of this. The two airports are about two hours apart by car.
myopenid··on TSMC halts new Huawei orders after US tightens restrictions
> It leaks like a sieve. I've seen it first hand (in semiconductor industry).

There is this thing called knowledge transfer, and you do this when you change jobs. Are you suggesting that the employee work in the same company indefinitely?

> well...then the US should block all Chinese services from exploiting users[1] and their data

Which is exactly what China is doing to you.

myopenid··on TSMC halts new Huawei orders after US tightens restrictions
China blocked American services in the mainland precisely to prevent intel gathering on the Chinese masses.

And it's ironic for you to say the CCP wants keys to iCloud, because your government literally forces American companies to hand over the keys[1].

myopenid··on Zoom Now Worth More Than the World’s 7 Biggest Airlines
What a load of horseshit.
myopenid··on YouTube automatically deletes Chinese epithet 'communist bandit'
Because in this instance you all made it racist.
myopenid··on Zoom Now Worth More Than the World’s 7 Biggest Airlines
Hackernews is predominantly White/West, of course the sentiment leans in that direction.

Anyway, everyone acts in their best interests.

Ok
myopenid··on Xiaomi web browser sends your browsing history to Alibaba even in Incognito mode
Even HN is not free from this China smearing campaign. Smh.
myopenid··on Xiaomi Recording ‘Private’ Web and Phone Use
What's wrong with that?
myopenid··on Overwhelming Majority Say Time to ‘Decouple’ from China
Nah, it's time for the world to decouple from the US.
myopenid··on Chinese Agents Helped Spread Messages That Sowed Virus Panic in U.S.
Western propaganda. Pass.
myopenid··on China to ban online gaming, in-game chat with foreigners outside Great Firewall
The chinese themselves actually prefer playing on local servers due to the amount of shit talking they get while playing on global servers. Unending amount of Tiananmen copypasta and free Hong Kong slogan its sickening.

myopenid··on Google can use Bluetooth to track phones even with Bluetooth turned off (2018)
This kind of hyper-connected lifestyle seems..... kind of exhausting. Constant barrage of information that you may or may not need; being reliant on many bits and pieces of services that change all the time (when they drop out of support or starts asking for money) in which you have to adapt or find alternatives to.
myopenid··on YouTube accidentally permanently terminated my account
Amazon has competitors, Google doesn't.
myopenid··on Launch HN: Fly.io (YC W20) – Deploy app servers close to your users
Tried deploying a simple Heroku echo app and put it through KeyCDN performance test... The fly.io instances actually perform worse in terms of TTFB compared to a single Heroku deployment in AMS. Here are some stats. https://i.imgur.com/Qt1p29G.png
myopenid··on Europe Wants a ‘Right to Repair’ Smartphones and Gadgets
Right to repair, not right to break the law and regulation.
myopenid··on S&P 500 triggers 15-minute trading halt for the second time this week
What's wrong with that?
myopenid··on Which of these Amazon Prime purchases are real?
You're right user reviews on Amazon are manipulated. Bought a bluetooth earphone on Amazon DE, was contacted by vendor to exchange a five star for a half refund.

Also came across Facebook ads that asks you to buy random crap and leave positive review in exchange for a full refund, and they call this "free samplimg".

myopenid··on N26 customers feel betrayed by the German digital bank’s decision to quit the UK
Having lived in Germany (where N26 started), had the opposite experience. Revolut is a disaster. Reason being:

- No 3DSecure, renders it useless for most online transactions.

- No personal IBAN, uses some janky shared IBAN that is not tied to your name, which is required for many online depositing service like Coinbase.
