Consider previous cases where companies like Reddit have unmasked their users at the behest of court order.

I'm not well-informed about this situation, but DDOSing does strike me as an action which is fundamentally counter to information freedom and archival, so that seems like a reasonable suspicion to me.

Yep, a great lesson, and a relatively low price to pay for teaching my kids the honorable act of civil disobedience.

Interesting, this reminds me a bit of TTS models that had poor quality training data inserting commercial jingles or background music into their output, although I would agree that in this case it sounds intentional.

Are we expected to know latin, or is this supposed to be a little homework assignment for us? Ridiculous.

I believe there is a kernel of truth here, but having used both the mainstream products and their "underdog" alternatives, this is completely counter to my experience. Nokia is a bit before my time, but I've used both iPhones

Well that's what I don't get, how is spending the money bad faith? Aren't they getting the money ahead of time so they can spend it before the world ends? If they have to keep the world-still-here money tied up in escrow I do

I still don't get how this is supposed to work. So let's say I give you a million dollars right now, with the expectation that I get $10M back in 10 years when the world hasn't ended. You obviously wanted the money up front b

This is awesome, I got way more sucked into this than I expected. If you're open to adding more features, a "custom playlist" would be really cool. I'd love to drill myself on the Balkans or West Africa, for instance.

Interesting, thank you for the link. This answers a few questions I had about preferred country names while trying out the game, such as Czech Republic/Czechia, Swaziland/Eswatini, Turkey/Turkiye. I also found the partially r

No it's not called supply and demand, it's called price discrimination. The way things should be priced is based on the value it gives the market as a whole. Anything further is an anti-competitive attempt to vacuum up more of the

They have an option to do an ACATS to another brokerage account. They do not mention specifically, but it looks like this would be considered a stock transfer "in kind" which should not be considered a taxable event. https:/

Sounds like 7% of revenue rather than profit. But I agree it seems weird to cap it at 7.

To quote Donald Knuth, "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it."

Calling it a jobs program is overly generous. It's broken windows fallacy. Considering the ineffectiveness of the TSA as shown by multiple audits, opportunity cost of waiting in security lines, lost revenue to airlines, and increased r

I really hope this site doesn't become the next reddit. I don't think a massive influx of new users would be healthy for good faith discussion here.

Okay this part has me convinced this post is satire. The hackernewsiness is simply off the charts. As the kids would say, ain't no way.

Great writeup. It seems like a strange variant of the broken windows fallacy to imply that workers need to be shuttling to and from work and spending money on brick and mortar restaurants and stores. Of course remote workers will have extra

The risk of bricking isn't so bad as long as you keep a copy of the original firmware. If the patched firmware doesn't boot, you can always revert back.

Hahaha, the issues are hilarious! A few examples: * You can put yourself into disposals while dead * Bullets rotate with the station * Pulling doesn't know what newton's 3rd law is * You can select wires hidden under walls and zap

Have you tried ChessX, and if so, how would you say it compares?

Reproducibility is what allows you to rely on other maintainers' reviews. Without reproducibility, you can't be certain that what you're running has been audited at all. It's true that no single person can audit their en

Reproducibility is necessary, but unfortunately not sufficient, to stop a "Trusting Trust" attack. Nixpkgs still relies on a bootstrap tarball containing e.g. gcc and binutils, so theoretically such an attack could trace its linea
