throw4738··on US imposes sanctions on Russia over cyber-attacks
I an on HN news since 2008. This is not a joke but serious. US has a right to cut themselves from Russia, but just do it. Stop playing stupid games.
throw4738··on US imposes sanctions on Russia over cyber-attacks
No I am serious.

If I visit Iran, I can not go to USA. I think US should apply the same rules, and cleanse themselves from all Russian influence. All Russian developers, tech, companies...

Also do the same for China...

throw4738··on Berlin rent cap overturned by Germany's top court
It is like saying refugees are part of the problem, because they are taking flats from the market. People who rent Airbnb also have a right to be in Berlin.

And this policy is pushing more flats from normal market into airbnbs.

throw4738··on Berlin rent cap overturned by Germany's top court
Not if you stay months in hotel or Airbnb. And that is only available option.
throw4738··on Berlin rent cap overturned by Germany's top court
No, this system is more like feudalism or serfdom. When I move in, you expect me to work on your land, so protected class does not have to work.

Young people and foreigners have to pay large taxes and rents, to subside older people.

throw4738··on Berlin rent cap overturned by Germany's top court
It is unconstitutional because it treats people unequally. New people will not find any rentable properties, and will have to stay in hotels paying 10x more.

It is just another form of xenophobia.

throw4738··on Psilocybin 'promising' for depression

throw4738··on Bitcoin is a ‘boon for surveillance’, says former CIA director
That is not how anti money laundering works. Person has to prove their income is clean, there is no presumption of innocence.
throw4738··on WhatsApp's new privacy policy is so bad it might be illegal
Electric cars have zero emissions, bitcoin has zero emissions ;)

Seriously, most mining farms are using geothermal or water dams generators.

throw4738··on FreeBSD 13.0
Maybe have a look at OpenSuse, it has rollback as well and feels like traditional Linux.
throw4738··on The war against money-laundering is being lost
》 British Empire financed itself with ... slaves for all its History

That is just not true.

British Empire abolished slavery worldwide. They went into war with many countries that supported slavery. They even took huge loan to end slavery, that took hundreds years to repay (until 2015).

throw4738··on Coinbase’s listing may break records
But most cryptos are not truly decentralised and robust enough. There is centralised dev team. And no crypto can truly handle brainsplit network issues.
throw4738··on Coinbase’s listing may break records
51% attack would be very expensive on electricity and new infrastructure. There is already working and profitable infrastructure to prevent money laundering.
throw4738··on Spectrum upset about me using the upload they sold me
Anyone who shots 4k60 video, most smartphones can do that.
throw4738··on Spectrum upset about me using the upload they sold me

throw4738··on Ted Chiang: Fears of Technology Are Fears of Capitalism
How about you just make housing and healthcare cheaper? I don't care if USA turns into kingdom, but right now it is just too expensive.

This is very expensive and not very scalable.

throw4738··on Cryptographically verifiable code review system for cargo Rust package manager
With Java code I get notifications on github about unsafe libraries. I also have tools to verify my dependency tree.

throw4738··on The Tourist: Philip Roth’s Czech KGB File
Jachymov had strategic importance for survival of the Soviet Union. Soviets invested into building mine and provided initial workforce. Jachymov was not some siberian gulag for wood choping. Soviets also paid for uranium. Mine was closed as too expensive.

How Czech communist party ran the mine, and what it did to its citizens is something else.
