>For devices that are incapable of user access control, the same rules as a knife, chainsaw or gun apply. Well said. Parental controls are really nothing more than parents are root and kids are mere users. We shouldn't let the state

It's an elaborate ruse to condition Americans to the 4th amendment not being a real thing. The PATRIOT ACT which created the TSA was written by Joe Biden after the Oklahoma City bombing and passed after being reintroduced following 9&#

Since you're pretending to be a lawyer and losing an argument I'll highlight the part that answers the question: >"shall not be infringed" and "shall not be violated" do not leave loopholes. It's quite

I answered your question. Your failure of comprehension is not my problem.

"shall not be violated" leaves no loopholes. Just like the second amendment: >A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. &qu

Believe it or not, I don't care what authoritarians feel about the 4th amendment that was designed to be read and interpreted free of the courts.

The courts are allowed to be wrong, it's true.

Read the fourth amendment since you clearly didn't the first time.

TSA's searches without a warrant are illegal. The fourth amendment: >The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warra

Love this. My resume has been in LaTeX for over 20 years now. Underappreciated IMHO. You can version control it, no dealing with wild Word shenanigans. Totally deterministic. Just find a style, insert your bullets and you have a nice sharab

If you're not using it where it's useful to you, then I still wouldn't say you're getting left behind, but you're making your job harder than it has to be. Anecdotally I've found it useful mostly for writing un

Apple maps, "Intelligence", siri, etc all run on device because Apple is in the market of selling devices. As many as they can. Whereas google is in the market of selling you to advertisers. It's literally a major difference

A 10 year old girl died too. They took no precautions to limit damage bystanders even assuming every person with one was a BadGuy™ which makes it terrorism and reprehensible.

I dug into this a little and one of the files is 164GB. How do you even work with these files? That is, how would I search for my SSN on my windows box?

But then who would pay for all of Israel's bombs? Think of the foreign nation whose citizens are happier and healthier than you with single payer healthcare?

>Author and programmer Sam Hughes, by the way, pushed this to the limit and invented Base 65,536, which includes basically every character from every language. It is ridiculous and unnecessary, but when has that ever stopped programmers?

The dry sarcastic humor of the author made it very obvious to me that this was satire. I have a very similar sense of humor, at least partly. And I'm a native American English speaker. Giveaways: >I logged in to my JetStreamers Diam

Because bad people exist and there are imminent dangers? There are legitimately good uses of people shooting people all the time. Hostage situations being the painfully obvious example. What even is this question?

None of this applies to crows. They're very happy to eat our rotting corpses and day old vomit. So feeding them can be an adventure if you try hard enough.

You'd be surprised. A college student in an interesting field is an interesting target. Doesn't mean he's done anything nefarious or even shady. Industrial espionage is a thing.

I'm kinda the opposite. Way too many times I've seen "upgrades" actively remove things I liked and add things I hate. I hold off on letting mobile apps update because they almost always get worse, not better.

I don't understand this attitude on HN. Crypto is here to stay and not every coin is the same. BTC cracked $70,000.00 this month. I remember buying it at $6.00 in '09.

X (Twitter) wasn't affected: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1765048551023734801 Downdetector is user reports, not automated monitoring. It's... semi-trustworthy.
