stackedinserter··on Show HN: AlgoDrill – Interactive drills to stop forgetting LeetCode patterns
Or it's just big corpo policy that everyone except HR hates and is just hard to change.
stackedinserter··on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban
There's no voter suppression in US, and it won't stand in courts even if somebody pushes it. Supreme court keeps using partisan decision in favour of Dems and GOP, so it remains balanced. What's left is everything you mentioned.
stackedinserter··on Israel used Palantir technologies in pager attack in Lebanon
That's a valid military strike, period.
stackedinserter··on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban
So Australian teens will finally learn how they computers and home wifi works.
stackedinserter··on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban
TBH these steps are not that easy and probably are not possible in a federated country like US.
stackedinserter··on Leaving the U.S. for the Netherlands
To learn how to leave USA one needs to pass the newyorker paywall.
stackedinserter··on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental
Why do Rust developers create so much drama everywhere? "Rewrite everything to Rust", "Rust is better than X" in all threads related to other languages, "how do you know it's safe if you don't use Holy Glorious Rust".

I'm genuinely not trolling, and Rust is okay, but only Rust acolytes exhibit this behaviour.

A plague on both your houses.

Subscriptions add up + you will see ads and have to pay for "premium" content.
stackedinserter··on Jolla Phone Pre-Order
There are many other use cases, physical control are not used only for cutting power of components.
stackedinserter··on Jolla Phone Pre-Order
"Physical controls" are those that you can physically sense. My point was everyone needs different things, so it's possible to keep core functionality simple and let users add what they need, via extensions. Like dongle hell but better.
stackedinserter··on Jolla Phone Pre-Order
I mean since it's linux phone with (hopefully) open architecture, it should be possible to create an external usb device that exposes any functionality.

Like, to keep core functionality simple and open it for extensions ("extra battery", "knobs and switches", "ethernet" etc)

stackedinserter··on India scraps order to pre-install state-run cyber safety app on smartphones
So give an example of essential services, by name.
stackedinserter··on Jolla Phone Pre-Order
If it catches traction, there will be usb-connected phone cases that expose these switches to physical controls.
stackedinserter··on Covid-19 mRNA Vaccination and 4-Year All-Cause Mortality
I give you this pill that makes you suffer for a year, but you will not die in 4 years. If it's safe to you, then alcohol and smoking are safe too.

Edit: OTOH that pill will reduce your chance to suffer even more or even die, which is a good thing ofc

stackedinserter··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
Hollywood was dying long before the strike.
stackedinserter··on Snapchat and FaceTime Banned in Russia
How can you seriously compare Facetime and stupid Roblox? It's not even related, aside of a heading says "russia blocked something"

Facetime was the last Western service that allowed calls between Russia and the rest of the world, it's much bigger deal.

So when I'm banned on Uber Eats, it counts as infringement of rights? Is it what you're saying?
stackedinserter··on India scraps order to pre-install state-run cyber safety app on smartphones
Canadian government must provide services for blind and deaf people via Teletype or something, so at least state services are covered.

The question is what makes service critical. Is Expedia or Uber critical?

stackedinserter··on “Captain Gains” on Capitol Hill
Great, so I can copycat their portfolio and do 47 pts better.
stackedinserter··on Isn't WSL2 just a VM?
How is it "tight" when even `ps` or `top` show VM processes instead of OS ones? Could you give an example of functionality that can't be done with `docker run -it ubuntu`?

I used it for a little bit (got Windows laptop, thought maybe I'll switch but no), and just hated that split brain workspace.

stackedinserter··on India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app
"Leave us alone or we'll cancel our plans and move somewhere else"
stackedinserter··on EU Council Approves New "Chat Control" Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
At the same time, citizens get more tools and technologies to organize and push back.
stackedinserter··on EU Council Approves New "Chat Control" Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
You can't win against state with tech only.
stackedinserter··on Louvre to hike ticket prices for most non-EU tourists by 45%
TBH the most interesting thing in Louvre is that crowd in front of Mona Lisa, which is an art performance by itself.
stackedinserter··on Louvre to hike ticket prices for most non-EU tourists by 45%
You probably understand museum business model wrong.
stackedinserter··on EU Council Approves New "Chat Control" Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
There's no one solid "Europe", there is a bunch of countries that are farther from each other than states in US.

E.g. what do Spain and Poland have in common?

stackedinserter··on EU Council Approves New "Chat Control" Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
There's no alternative, it's constant battle for freedoms and liberties.
stackedinserter··on EU Council Approves New "Chat Control" Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
This is "Red Queen" concept, constant battle between society and state (Leviathan).

State always drives towards despotism and total control, society always drives to anarchy, and when there's balance, then you have Switzerland, otherwise slide towards Somali or Russia.
