1. Its in the law for decades, it is derived from the constitution 2+3: yes. After they have been declared as extremists this is permitted under the law. 4. Only after the Bundesverfassungsgericht (supreme court) officially rules that the AFD is working against the constitution and forbids them. This must be initiated from the Bundestag, Bundesrat or from the Federal Government.

Disagree. The way de minimis was being exploited created a market distortion that unfairly favored foreign companies. I get that there are niche cases where it causes real pain, and that sucks but calling it insidious feels like overkill.

I support free trade, and in an ideal world we’d have no tariffs at all. But enforcement around imports is hard. You still need some mechanism to regulate goods entering the country, and duty taxes are a practical tool for that. When a U.S. retailer imports goods from China, they pay duties. When Temu ships a nearly identical product directly to U.S. consumers under de minimis, no one pays anything. That’s not a level playing field.

The EU exemption does not exist in practice - if you ship something worth €20 from the U.K., you can expect to pay ~€50 in import vat, tariffs, customs inspection fees, and courier handling fees.

It’s only really worth importing stuff that’s well over the theoretical threshold, as you’re going to be paying the flat rate fees anyway.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/concurring_opinion

> A concurring opinion is an opinion that agrees with the majority opinion but does not agree with the rationale behind it. Concurring opinions are not binding [emphasis mine]

If someone files a concurring opinion that they believe it violates the Constitution, that indicates the majority opinion did not find this. That's why they filed a concurring opinion and didn't join the majority opinion, goofball. You can also read the actual majority opinion to learn, in fact, they do not argue that it's unconstitutional, but even using your shortcut it leads to the opposite of your conclusion.

By your logic, the dissenting opinions are also part of the Loper Bright decision, so therefore, Loper Bright says the opposite of what everyone thinks it says:

> Put all that together and deference to the agency is the almost obvious choice, based on an implicit congressional delegation of interpretive authority.

Wait just a second... it turns out that neither concurring nor dissenting opinions are the actual court's decision and its binding opinion, despite being published all on the same document.

Curious ain't it? Thank you for your excellent demonstration of the level of thoughtfulness and general knowledge behind Chevron opposition. I think your alternative media sources have failed you.

Seek movement .Move towards discomfort. Settle only in your values, never in loyalties or kinship. Be homeless in regards to ideologies, be merciless to those that subvert what your values brought about , be subversive to all things to see the brittleness of things.

Disregard detected retardations in yourself, invest your lifes work in little turtles crawling towards abilities up the scenario tree. Do not attach, to fortresses, kings and nations built on those branches.

A very small VR setup, with a multi-directional treadmill, which can easily fold in under the sofa. Drop anything but first person gaming, just make that work.

Oh and make it PS5 and Xbox compatible.

Gamers want to walk Skyrim, or the Fallout wasteland, but if it's just a set of goggles on your face then what's the point? You could just get a bigger TV.

I doubt that you can actually do it, with current tech, but $60B and we're no closer? It's still just a set of goggles.

Everything is a loyalty litmus test with the Republican party now. Even the most minor things, list a tariff cost on your web page? Enemy.

Still call something by its old name that was arbitrarily renamed? Enemy.

The Republican Party is the ultimate “snowflake” party. Everything is a test.

this exact 'cottage industry' you speak of is what existed in north america and started little conpanies like Apple, etc.

The sad fact that we lost all of these because of the entire electronics supply and design chain moving to Taiwan and China, is why we are where we are. These barriers might bring some back, who knows.

Ultimately global open borders, for goods and services, had their own issues. For example open competition between free market economies and centrally planned economies creates rather obvious advantages of scale that are skewed...

'Norks', has been around a while. Especially in Ukraine, where "Orc's", has been used to refer to russian invaders. Sticking an 'N' on the front just makes sense, especially in military environments. Tits, though, have been around forever, and an aussie quirk-of-the-language shouldn't dictate international communication. Let's just hope the Bazongan's don't get too yippy.

This doesn't make any sense, because Apple still reviews every submission to the App Store. The judge didn't abolish app review. Nothing has changed in that respect.

Only section 3.1 of the App Review Guidelines changed. Everything else is still the same.

[EDIT:] nextworddev has now edited their post to say "Lol". Originally, the post said that this would open up the floodgates to scam apps.

nextworddev also replied me, in a now deleted comment, saying "lol HN has gone downhill".

The key point is that the 150€ limit is a tariff-enforcement limit, but VAT limits are set by the countries (and in recent years often much lower), so even if you don't pay tariffs on your parcel it might still go through the system for VAT purposes and incur the various fees around that.And privatized postal systems means that they can choose how large these fees are.

I happen to live in China right now and am using a VPN. I find your comments to be fundamentally incorrect. I live here more than 20 years and can't find any information about genocide, and I have a lot of (I suppose you are talking about) Xinjiang friends. Yes, there are extremists in Xinjiang with foreign funding. And The the government prepares extreme religious individuals for modern society. This process involves learning Chinese and learning basic skills to have a job. If people really died there, why we Chinese people don't know it? I mean I can literally drive to Xinjiang to check these information.

If you don't believe my words and still think people are oppressed in Xinjiang or whatever place, please apply a Chinese visa and visit here. If your visit is short-term, then a visa is not even needed.

Your narratives about China reflect self-projection. Western historical treatment of minorities doesn't mirror our approach. It's like saying Chinese people are too oppressed to afford bread or are forced to pick cotton—ignoring that bread isn't a Chinese staple and cotton-picking doesn't carry any other cultural meanings here.

By the way, if I said capitalism makes Americans too poor to eat rice, wouldn't you find that ridiculous? I'm sure you would, because you guys generally don't eat rice. This projection is exactly what your views about China represent.

Not direct-order. There’s a minimum fee. Unless you’re ordering bulk, you’ll be paying a lot more than $3-$5 per board in taxes.

The cheapest alternative now will be to go through a middleman who adds some markup but can pay “merely” the 145% tariff rate because they’re buying a ton of them at a time. 400% total markup on the direct-priced $3 board beats $100 (and soon $200) per parcel ordering just a couple at a time. Though, these businesses may not be viable at the higher prices, and supply might just dry up.

(In fact, the cheapest alternative will probably be “Vietnamese” boards that are lying about where they were manufactured…)

Apple was doing malicious compliance all along. It’s not surprising. But this is extremely good news, because it dampens FUD and narratives such as ”the EU is only going after American companies with frivolous rules”. If you get punished this hard for anti-trust, in the US, you are so out of line it’s not even funny. So it adds legitimacy to the free market spirit seen in markets like EU, which has been criticized for making up arbitrary rules for self-interest.

In either case, this thing will die with a whimper, not a bang. Apple will have to concede to EU and it would not surprise me if other large markets will demand the same.

So the stage is changing. Apple could have flown under the radar and made concessions with terms they could dictate, letting them simplify their offerings across the world without attracting regulators and mega-lawsuits (and hear me out - maybe focus on products and innovation instead). Now, they fight against multiple jurisdictions at once, which all have different requirements (obviously, since they are different bodies). Even if they fold now, by reducing the tax and making more lenient rules, they’re too late. They already have regulators and judges dictating for them what to do, so their agency is permanently limited.

People forget that in the EU, the ”gatekeeper status” wasn’t just ”go after Apple and Google”. It was the App Store specifically. For instance, Gmail was evaluated but not included.

TLDR Apple has to sleep in a bed that they shat in themselves. They were universally popular and could get away with lots of questionable behavior, but instead angered everyone and are rightfully getting curfewed.

Just because you can prove mathematically that most link chains "end" at "philosophy" doesn't mean that's the end you should end up at. I spend at least 2 nights a week just reading links through wikipedia as I'm falling asleep, and I almost inevitably end up at languages and cultures or historical events that I knew little about. Philosophy isn't an end, and it's pretty meaningless without some stone cold knowledge about the world. Or you could say it comes as a result of knowledge, not before it.

> Real, actual capitalism results in competition which drives prices down, as long as there are two or more competitors and antitrust law is enforced.

I generally agree with you here, (though it's a bit simplistic for things not directly related to price: for example good luck avoiding arbitration clauses)

> Which is generally the case.

Now our opinions differ. Lina Khan was an exception, and I certainly can't imagine the current regime standing up against money.

Some recent(ish) ones I think have been less than great for competition

HBO / Discovery? Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp? LiveNation / Ticketmaster? Disney / Fox? Charter / Time Warner Cable? AT&T / Time Warner? CBS / Viacom? Comcast / NBC? JP Morgan / Chase? CVS / Aetna? Cigna / Express Scripts? Sinclair Media

The wording here seems, to me, to have some silly limitations. For example, there are apps I have thought would make a nice gift for a friend before, and the easiest way to do this is to buy an unlock key and send it to them.

But, with these rules, I guess the goal is that I have to send them a gift card instead? I'll just not bother and get them something else.

In theory, this could be used as the basis for the banning of the party. That said , I don't think the incoming government would allow it as Germany isn't super stable at the moment.

At a minimum, this will be used as the basis for removing any talk of coalitions/joint votes etc within the CDU, so Merz or anyone after him can't attempt to go around the Brandmauer(mind you, this will be enforced by the parties themselves, not via law or anything). You can expect the same thing as with FN/RN in France before the developments within the last 2 years, i.e any right wing party not voting resolutions that are submitted by AfD even if they are 95% identical to what is in their own programme.

I think the likely action is that they will attempt to "purge" the Flügel part of the party, with or without the help of Weidel.For example, Marine Le Pen purged the problematic elements of the old guard of FN by herself and "normalised" the party within 10 years.

You're confusing two different things. 1 the court determined that apple subverted the original injunction, and ordered that it comply immediately (specifically calling out all the ways apple was getting around the injunction previously). 2 the court said that to issue a fine so that apple loses whatever money it gained by non-compliance would be considered a criminal matter (unless it becomes clear that there's no other way to force apple to comply with 1 above) even though it may be appropriate, and as such it is beyond the scope of what the court could order in its own, and the court refers the matter for criminal prosecution.

So this change is just apple complying with 1.

Remember this viral AI prompt that, according to some guy on Reddit, blew everyone's mind?

"What do you know about me that I might not know about myself based on our previous interactions and memory?”

I liked this prompt, actually, and I also learned a bit from it(especially my underutilised creative side, which I still need to validate), but a week ago, I thought about turning the question around, and I've been super surprised with the recent outcomes. So this is me sharing it with you.

(feels a lot like yet another guy from the internet talking about AI tips, but here it goes)

Three steps:

1. "Looking back at our discussions, your memory, and your context about me, what parts might you not know about me that could help you produce better results for future prompts?"

2. Fill in the answers

3. "Considering the new information I've shared, what has changed compared to your previous perception? I'm not looking for a summary of the new details you've learned, but rather any shifts in your deeper understanding of my personality, traits, motivations, or mindset."

Also ymmv. My advice kinda assumes you aren’t trying to fit into some kind of pre-prepared slot. If you aren’t wanting to take full responsibility for yourself and your life, and the resultant outcome, my advice is probably bad.

Half application of good advice is usually worse than no advice at all. I should mention that I’m basically hardcore unemployable because of my attitudes in life, and for the short periods of time that I have been an employee, I have been a poor one.

If you aren’t looking for the path of high resistance, you should probably write me off as a crackpot geezer.

It’s definitely nice to know that nothing gets executed, read, written or sent without permission from the user when running a program/script with Deno.

You complain the flags always have to be set to get anything working so they are supposedly useless. No, you don’t have to set them in a grant-all fashion. All flags allow fine-grained permissions, e.g. --allow-env=API_KEY,PORT only allows access to the env vars API_KEY and PORT instead of all env vars. The same principle applies to --allow-net, --allow-run, --allow-read, --allow-write, etc. See `deno run --help` or https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/security/ for more.

You are correct, although its more correct to say there a only 3 major browser engines, Blink (used by all chromium derivatives), WebKit (used by Safari and some minor browsers), Gecko (used by Firefox and its derivatives). Creating a browser engine is hard, so hard that even a multi billion dollar company like Microsoft gave up on doing it. And we may soon witness Gecko going away as a side effect of the Google antitrust lawsuit.

We tried this, and found that it made it very hard to get a signal, during the limited 1 hour we had for a particular coding exercise, of what they are capable of themselves. A roll of paper towels could produce a functioning UI in React or another “exercise-sized” thing with Windsurf or Cursor, or even Copilot, in an hour.

We decided that if you were going to have them use ai the interview prompt given would probably need to be crafted with that in mind, both to give them enough to do, and to try to make it so that they’ll probably need to do some additional manual work to get to a final solution.

>> putting it on again to discover what new account/privacy requirements it has today

For me, it isn't the accounts but questioning whether some update in the last month has bricked the thing. Between updates to my OS, my graphics drive, the games, or VR hardware itself, I inevitably have to go through a period of turning things off and on again ... holding the headset or waiving it in front of the sensors as I wonder if it will connect properly. I tried to use it last week, but rage-quit when steam told me it had updates for the base stations. Just ... no. I have better things to do.

I really like it, well done!

As others mentioned, if you use this to attract clients or recruiters, I recommend adding a version for non-technical folks.

As a nerd I'd love to see some more colors like in the themes you can set using Prezto or Oh-My-ZSH (reference: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto?tab=readme-ov-file#t...).

For the projects I think some click function to open an ncurses-like modal would be cool :)

Another idea: what about adding a light mode?

P.S.: I would also add `rm -rf` and return something like "nice try ^_^"

Can grep and the like search on images or docx?

I know there is FileLocator Pro, but I'm looking for a cross-platform tool.

Not sure what your point is. The AfD is not the first extreme right party to gain a sizeable number of seats. And yes, if they continue to win elections with an ever growing percentage of votes, at one point they will rule, and could eventually change the constitution if they gain a supermajority.

This happened before (it's a been a while though).

Until that happens, they are beholden to the law like any other political party. They do not appear to be singled out because they happen to be the opposition.

China seemed to take chips from obsolete motherboards and turn them into boards to allow reuse of old Xeons, at least for awhile there. I can't imagine those chipsets were still being made so I assume that is what was happening. A lot of those old processors were still quite useful but since the motherboard supply had dried up they were cheap e-waste. I can't imagine that kind of recycled product being made here, not least of which because Intel would probably find a way to sue a domestic company out of existence if they even tried.

I think the issue is not about what it's worth, but what they should be allowed to charge for. To me, the argument about "what it's worth" is fundamentally wrong.

As an extreme example, if some company found a way to charge me $100 every day or my head would explode, that obviously is worth $100 to most of us. However, I'm currently not having to pay any company to prevent my head from exploding, so maybe that's just not something I should have to pay for.

"Upcoming criminal trial" implies that there is an upcoming criminal trial, which at this point there is not. The judge referred a criminal complaint for contempt against that witness. The office that received it (presumably some sort of investigative division of the court or law enforcement entity) has to investigate, decide if they want to refer it to a prosecutor, and the prosecutor then has to decide if they want to actually file charges. Then there's a probable cause hearing where a judge determines if there is enough evidence for a trial. Then they set a trial date.

Until a trial date is set there is no upcoming criminal trial.
