sfe22··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
I first thought the first part is a joke. Didn’t know that. You make a good point below too.

It doesn’t take 90 million iranians to push a button.

sfe22··on Google pays Apple $18B to $20B a year to keep its search in iPhone
Does this mean Apple is a major ad-tech player involved in buying and selling their own customer data (through partner comany but that does not matter much does it)?
sfe22··on The 115F Heat Is Killing Phones in Sardinia
Have you tried 5w slow charging?
sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
Keep dreaming buddy. You may love your ruler, but that is a one way relationship. Your ruler doesn’t even think about you.
sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
You think in your country the government serves you. That is a very naive way of thinking. Why would they love you so much, is it because you bother to show up at a polling station once in a couple of years, or is there some other source of attraction?

> a few skilled jobs are granted the extreme privilege of time off, for the rest you grant nothing. Are they peasants in your eyes?

No not at all. I believe lower skilled workers are on this position due to the policies we have had for some time now, which most of them actually support. I respect all workers that contribute honestly.

sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
Do you consider the above argument as lost and and want to try your luck in a new argument?
sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
I may agree that 25 days off at a certain job is better for that individual, or even me. What i am against is creating creating government rules that impose such schemes into everyone without their consent.
sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
No, i am not the one advocating for mandatory schemes, which some people push into the rest, usually through government. By default no such schemes exist, so i am not the one that meddles in others business. If you want to get involved you are free to do so.
sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
It is fine to have opinions. I may even agree with your opinion. Pushing it to others is what i am against.
sfe22··on Ask HN: How much of unlimited PTO do you use?
Yeah, you nailed with the word choice here.

Dictator needs to be a ruler, that also you cannot get rid of. In most of the us you can ditch your boss tonight.

It looks like you want a real dictator to “protect” you from possible poor decisions you can make. Which is fine, just don’t get me and others like me involved please.

sfe22··on UK’s GDPR replacement could wipe out oversight of live facial recognition
The good news is UK is democracy, so no need to worry.
sfe22··on YouTuber who staged plane crash faces up to 20 years jail
The FAA as government gets huge support from big corporations (bribes and other help, partnerships and funding), so of course has to do something for the favor. I doubt some random youtuber(s) can offer continued support to the government, so they are not at all in a similar power position. I am amazed that this is surprising to educated people.
sfe22··on EU proposes spyware Tech Lab to keep Big Brother governments in check
Sure sounds like it
sfe22··on $10M Is Yours If You Can Get This Guy to Leave Russia
What if they refund it immediately? Maybe that is what they did, to avoid detection. Anyone knows more about this?
sfe22··on Federal Reserve pushes interest rates above 5% for first time since 2007
I don’t think the (us) government is lending to the banks, it is already on close to trillion dollar deficit, if anything it is borrowing from banks.

“People” in my comment includes groups of people too (eg companies, governments). Shouldn’t one be able to set the price of borrowing, why we must have one party deciding for everyone else.

sfe22··on Federal Reserve pushes interest rates above 5% for first time since 2007
Why someone has to fix it for others. Can we let people decide for themselves?
sfe22··on iOS 17 app sideloading might only be available in Europe
It kind of makes sense. Both are closed systems that place rules what is good or bad for their members. If we cannot trust a person to choose whether a certain salary is good or bad for them, why would we trust them to decide what apps are good or bad for them?
sfe22··on Unchecked corporate pricing power is a factor in US inflation
Who granted banks the ability to create dollars?

If that is the case the new crowds old location dents are getting lower.
sfe22··on How the biggest fraud in German history unravelled
Biggest fraud spots are usually reserved for … … for … … governments
sfe22··on UK Proposes Even More Stupid Ideas for Directly Regulating the Internet
Looks the same setup as the US. Courts are part of the government https://www.judiciary.uk/about-the-judiciary/our-justice-sys...
sfe22··on U.S. on Track to Add $19T in New Debt over 10 Years
Isn’t this how empires fall?
sfe22··on Ask HN: Why is hiring so dehumanized, and what can be done?
Well, you get it after 90 days, by then they will probably know if it is a bad fit.
sfe22··on New headless Chrome has been released and has a near-perfect browser fingerprint
That means way more captchas after this release, yay
sfe22··on Airbnb nightly rates shot up 36% in 3 years
The fed sets interest rates, not the free market.
sfe22··on Airbnb nightly rates shot up 36% in 3 years
Government imposed low interest rates are the opposite of free market capitalism.
