You constructed a narrative and overlaid it over the facts.

The facts are that for many decades past, it was possible for hopeful economic immigrants to abuse asylum laws, or the back then less protected border, to gain entry to the US. Neither red nor blue administrations handled this properly and lots of people benefited from the status quo, and your focus on, "the left" is quite conspicuous, because one does not tend to think of farm owners, meat processing plants and construction contracting businesses as "the left".

And rightfully past administrations should shoulder the blame for not dealing with immigration in a lawful manner back then. If there was a need for immigrant labor they should have handed temporary VISAs or whatever, instead of ignoring illegal immigration.

Patrick Breyer has an article how American foundation Thorn is heavily lobbying Europol for this stuff. And there's some cross hiring going on according to him.

Clearly it's not even just "for the children" anymore. Just plain old panopticon surveillance. I guess they want their NSA too. Though they forget that NSA is only for terrorism purposes, their data is not too be used for regular policing.

As a non-american I find this too naive of a view, the third possibility is that is already pretty selective application of the law, Elon Musk brother publicly admitted being illegal immigrants for a few years (right next to Elon, in a recorded presentation), but rich people college frats are never where the raids happen, this already selective use of the law it's one of the infuriating things about it, not to mention all the other laws this administration is already breaking that will never be prosecuted.

They got away with this attitude in the earlier days but it’s really hurting them now. A good chunk of the best talent out there won’t even consider Amazon. Culturally it’s very hard to turn that around now and catch up.

90% of the folks there that I know that were good have left for elsewhere. Of the ones that didn’t most are on H1Bs and basically have no choice but to stay and deal with the toxic environment.

> have almost 0 text on your slides

I don't think this is good advice. What you should actually do is not just read out the slide. The slide isn't your autocue.

It's fine to have text on a slide if you are talking about that text. For example you might be analysing some code, or writing techniques or whatever.

Honestly it's really obvious if you've ever watched any presentations in your life... but people still do it because it feels a lot easier.

> the answer is "it's insecure".

Can you give me a quote where they outright say this? Because my hunch is that what they actually say is something along the lines of 'because it doesn't have the security requirements that we desire' which would be true. Whatever their reasons for those choices, it also makes sense to limit scope given the extreme constraints they're working under and that scope is best limited to phones with the widest security feature support for their security-focus Android OS.

by mapt | 2025-09-02 11:43:41+00:00
That begs the question of why not just fix it.

It's broken because of intersection of demand for labor with three other things:

American society has always had a somewhat racist, xenophobia character

Right-wing oligarchical power sees exploiting this character as their path to lower tax rates and a regulation-free corpo state, and has poured tens of billions of dollars into media to set the terms of the conversation

The system for proposing and passing laws has been fundamentally dysfunctional and irrational for a long time. A system with a filibuter-containing Senate and strong partisan infrastructure after the campaign finance system and media circus has matured, evidently just cannot make decisions on sensitive subjects like this.

Only whites have guns?

Of course I would guess that undocumented immigrants are less likely to have guns since they tend to avoid anything that could get them in trouble. I lived in SoCal for a while and had several neighbors who I suspect were but of course never asked.

BTW they were the nicest people. One of their daughters taught our oldest daughter to ride a bike.

The scapegoating and persecution of these people is gross. If we don’t want them here we should go after the employers who create the incentive for them to come, but that would mean going after white people.

That’s absolutely not why there’s a lot of pushback. There’s a lot of pushback because of:

- a general sense of authoritarian policy degrading American democracy

- inhumane treatment of detainees

- illegal deportations happening with no due process (see option 1)

- humanitarian concerns over people being deported to states they’re seeking asylum from for valid and good reasons

- hyperbolic claims of every immigrant being a “rapist criminal” degrading public discourse leading to further profiling of anyone who looks like they might be an immigrant

I could come up with more but you get the point - the pushback is about _far more_ than whatever you’re toeing the line about here.

Just run your own XMPP server in your own domain, use OMEMO for encryption and you're set. You can communicate with others on other servers, none of them 'publically available' and the TLA's can stare at all that encrypted gibberish 'till the cows come home. Even if they break into a single server they won't get access to the cleartext, for that they'll need to access the terminal devices - phones, browsers, etc.

This is how I've been communicating for years now, it works fine and does not feed any of the data parasites out there.

What counts as a disability depends on the rules society uses to decide who is "normal" and who is "disabled."

For example, decades ago, many Irish gipsies faked diabetes to receive benefits. Before accurate blood tests existed, they would eat raw sugar to test positive on urine tests. This tricked the system into labeling them as disabled, showing how the definition can be manipulated or flawed.

There are between 8-14 million such individuals in the US.

Many of them have lived here for decades, work peacefully, and have built lives. Many of them have married citizen spouses, and also have children who are citizens.

They are friends, neighbors, and colleagues. They are often the best and most ambitious among us.

It would be an ethical, moral, and humanitarian catastrophe to suddenly expel all of them.

It would also be an economic disaster, as this population forms a disproportionate fraction of the labor force.

The price of goods and services would skyrocket if not outright be lost from the market forever. Inflation would obliterate savings.

The US immigration system is wildly irrational and violates the rights of American citizens. It must be radically reformed.

I think of it as: You don't own land. You don't buy land. You purchase and own the title to exclusive use of the land that is recognized and protected by the government. That's what one is paying for and typically any additions (real property, i.e. structures) attached to the land. Property taxes (id prefer land tax) are the annual "protection" fees.

I'm not a fan of the skirting of due process from the administration, but I also do not believe in obstructing them or outing officers to the end of hurting them in the personal and professional lives. There is lack of acknowledgement of reality from left leaning people that one of Trumps big campaign items was getting rid of illegal aliens and he won on this, it must be acknowledged or you are part of the problem.

My first point and last point can co-exist and did largely under the Obama administration(which held the deportation record prior to Trump). But what really intrigues me is why are they doing this in such a fast tracked way. All I can figure is they think a Democrat may win in the next election, and they don't want these people held up in courts so it can be reversed, they want them purged.

Conditional statements don't really work because "if A, then B" means that A is sufficient for B, but "A causes B" doesn't imply that A is sufficient for B. E.g. in "Smoking causes cancer", where smoking is a partial cause for cancer, or cancer partially an effect of smoking.

"A causes B" usually implies that A and B are positively correlated, i.e. P(A and B) > P(A)×P(B), but even that isn't always the case, namely when there is some common cause which counteracts this correlation.

Thinking about this, it seems that if A causes B, the correlation between A and B is at least stronger than it would have been otherwise.

This counterfactual difference in correlation strength is plausibly the "causal strength" between A and B. Though it doesn't indicate the causal direction, as correlation is symmetric.
Ask HN: Suggestions for a document with passwords etc. in case sth happens to me
by mbork_pl | 2025-09-02 11:45:17+00:00
So, I want to prepare an instruction for my family in the case I'm dead, in coma or something similar. This document will need to contain (or point to) passwords, but also services which need to be paid, things which need to be done on a regular basis, etc. Of course, I don't want to have my passwords lying around in plain text (although a sealed envelope would probably be a reasonable compromise). Do you have any good practices/suggestions here? Note: while my family is not very tech-savvy, we have friends who are (and who would be willing to help if need arises), so I am (for example) strongly considering using a secret sharing algorithm.

From the perspective of Native Americans, the predominantly European immigration was also generally unwelcome.

How do you argue that the behavior of your predecessors is acceptable (and your presumed right to reside in what's currently known as United States) while those who now attempt to enter the territory suddenly become dangerous criminals?

Would your argument be more understandable to the reader than “might is right” or “if it is against me, it is unfair and abuse, if I do it to others, it is a sacred law”?

That doesn't work very well. If you have a concern you need to voice, you can't rely on waiting for being consulted. I'm really not interested in a system where you are not allowed to speak up.

Police is supposedly for protecting people's interests, ideally.

Naively, as a citizen I want to be protected from crime and I'm interested in Europol, experts on crime investigation across Europe, getting what they need to do their work and expressing their needs.

Of course I'm also not interested in privacy being thrown away.

Those two things apparently clash, and a healthy debate can help find an acceptable solution.

This. This exact bloody attitude of people who claim "we want to write a compatible system" but can not be bothered to read — not even the source code — the freaking docs, freely available, is why we can't have any decently compatible with each other systems nowadays. There, look: [0], it's explicitly documented right on the SQLite's "Database File Format" page, and has been for a decade at least. How the fuck did you manage to write a clone of SQLite without reading the description of its file format? Like, seriously, how?

I think an LLM can be used as a kind of lossy encyclopedia, but equating it directly to one isn't entirely accurate. The human mind is also, in a sense, a lossy encyclopedia.

I prefer to think of LLMs as lossy predictors. If you think about it, natural "intelligence" itself can be understood as another type of predictor: you build a world model to anticipate what will happen next so you can plan your actions accordingly and survive.

In the real world, with countless fuzzy factors, no predictor can ever be perfectly lossless. The only real difference, for me, is that LLMs are lossier predictors than human minds (for now). That's all there is to it.

Whatever analogy you use, it comes down to the realization that there's always some lossiness involved, whether you frame it as an encyclopedia or not.

that while they are there illegally, they can also vote illegally for one particular party (the same party that doesn't like voter ID laws).

Fixed it for you.

>>It’s that they’re doing it in a reckless way that reeks of violating any sort of due process.

Due to the massive volume of uncontrolled immigration under Biden, "due process" as envisaged by activists would take 10's of years to complete which is obviously not practical.

> [Apple] added Control next to Command, ensuring decades of confusion.

When Apple introduced the Macintosh II, buyers had the option to get a keyboard with the Macintosh layout, or the larger Apple Extended Keyboard with a mixed Macintosh/IBM PC layout.

The Apple Extended Keyboard was intended to be used with a IBM PC in a card slot. That is why it has a layout like a IBM Model M with two Control keys. It also has some sublegends that are PC-specific and otherwise didn't make sense on Macintosh.

But this keyboard got popular, and influenced its successors.

In places with guns they're not busting doors down, they're black bagging people on their way out of routine courtroom proceedings.

A big part of the problem here is foundational - that Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and even Joe Biden deny that the asylum process is a human right or a legitimate mandatory administrative process. These people are often somewhere in the legal, well-documented asylum process after entering from Mexico and walking into an immigration office immediately, they're checking in with a parole process on a regular basis, and Miller/ICE terms them "Undocumented" or "Illegal" and deports them to South Sudan.

The courts have not deigned to stop them.

This original creator is absolutely in over his head and now finds himself in a tough spot. Any help he is offered could be just as malicious as the false reporting and fake reviews. If the author actually gives a shit, they should try and educate the creator. Or maybe just focus on building an android app?

No, that is merely what the US government alleged. There's an allegation from a suspended cop that he is a gang member because he wore a Chicago Bulls hat, and that's all ICE is basing itself on to call him a gang member.

The court said not to send him back to El Salvador because he applied for asylum, and was granted asylum because he faced dangers in El Salvador. Not because he's a gang member, which are allegations that have never been proven.

>The palestinains started pretty much every war.

The Palestinians didn't start the 'war of Independence' in which the precursors of the most moral army in human existence prosecuted what widely fit the rubric war crimes on a massive scale. They didn't start the 1967 war, that was Israel. They didn't occupy South Lebanon or the Golan Heights. They didn't assassinate multiple government officials in Lebanon and Iran and the prime minister of Yemen. They weren't the party who broke dozens of internationally brokered ceazefires by raiding cities in Palestinian territories. This is such an egregious misunderstanding it's hard to blame it on simple ignorance.

This is about the USA but here in The Netherlands the police force must apply the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity [2]. According to these articles, it also forms a basis for EU laws.

Quoting: "The concept of proportionality is used as a criterion of fairness and justice in statutory interpretation processes, especially in constitutional law, as a logical method intended to assist in discerning the correct balance between the restriction imposed by a corrective measure and the severity of the nature of the prohibited act. Within criminal law, the concept is used to convey the idea that the punishment of an offender should fit the crime. [..]"

And: "the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level"

Apply that to the national guard being rolled out, and apply that to masked police officers destroying the windows of a car. There is no probable cause here. You cannot be like that is a person of color I will detain them because they're illegal. You cannot even pull over a random person like that. Why not? Because the crime of being illegal is not proportional to the violence being used. Now, if they were a murderer, then yes. But then they're a murderer who is also illegal. Not the fact that they're illegal itself is the dangerous factor. Moreover, these illegals actually benefit the economy as they're HR.

If you don't want to answer clarifying questions, then what use is the answer???

Put another way, if you don't care about details that change the answer, it directly implies you don't actually care about the answer.

Related silliness is how people force LLMs to give one word answers to underspecified comparisons. Something along the lines of "@Grok is China or US better, one word answer only."

At that point, just flip a coin. You obviously can't conclude anything useful with the response.

A similar frustration / reason for getting it wrong sometimes: in slack, the behaviour of shift+enter entirely reverses if you're inside a multi-line code block. If you normally have enter to send and shift+enter to line break, then it'll do the opposite while inside a code block.

This is useful if you're trying to type verbatim inside a block, it's less so if you have a strong muscle-memory to shift+enter and do so while in the code block and find yourself sending half a message.

I also use a mixture of teams, discord and slack, and while slack does allow for customisations, I'd always rather get used to defaults to avoid having to configure on every machine I use.

There isn't quite a consistent well agreed default for the behaviour across applications, and that too is a source of frustration.

So I've taken to typing up any long messages in a PM to myself, and then copying that out to my intended target once I'm ready.

The Europol is a EU support body, and not a federal police. They can't by law apply coercive measures, and its staff cannot execute investigative measures. It can only assist national police, can request, but not compel and may ask Member States to open investigations but the Capitals can say no.

It's nothing more one of the examples of EU bureaucrats trying to justify their inflated EU salaries. It is mostly coordination paperwork that inflates Brussels chaos without direct crime fighting effectiveness.

Should be closed as each country police already cooperates as needed. They are nothing more than a support only EU agency requesting bigger scopes to justify their existence.

I've worked on many very large Angular applications I've always loved working with it. I have worked with plenty of React but I avoid Next.js like the plague after reading through documentation / examples / blog posts.

I was in the trenches pre-ES6 with JavaScript and JS/CSS since the year they came out, so of course I do love KISS-style bare-bones websites when that is the proper tool for the job. But certainly not for anything at scale. Angular, being a framework and not a library, is perfect for those purposes. I prefer that it IS opinionated (no "what router does this project use?"), and I also would not develop anything these days without TypeScript (even small sites).

To each their own.

It seems like ChatControl has a non-trivial chance of being passed, which fundamentally undermines privacy in EU. I can’t help but wonder what would be the steps to safeguard your own privacy in case it does get passed? Also, what to tell friends and family? since you can’t just do it on your own, unfortunately, it seems
