And in the process designed a keyboard that is probably a little worse than apple's execution on this ergonomic nightmare. The challenge in this space was to make a real keyboard - sure, that'd involve overcoming the "how do we get the wires from the board through the switch to the keycap", starting with off the shelf switches and caps (because it's okay to not offer people the choice to replace their own keys when you make something like this) because as you say, it would be way harder (and far more costly) to make individual keys be self-contained e-ink units.

I've used them once in Florida. I've noticed that they do not seem to have as many locations here as they used to, though.
There's plenty of things that are illegal, but that we don't collect the maximum amount of evidence at the border to detect.

For example rape is illegal, and collecting DNA samples at the border might deter or detect rapists. Some drugs are illegal, and hair sample drug tests might deter or detect drug users. Money laundering is illegal, and requiring online banking credentials be handed over might deter or detect money launderers.

As it's at the border, there would be no constitutional concerns.

And yet we don't do these things - why do you think that is?
Any apology would pretty much be "we're sorry we got caught".
Dear Website,

>That's not how the system we were discussing works.

I'm talking more generically.

>The platform is never asked to report anything at all.

I thought platforms routinely work with the government to report potentially illegal content.

>Or are you describing an entirely different scenario, in which a site like Reddit voluntarily reports on its users (selectively or not)?

Discussing the existing system and what the logic being used in this context means when applied elsewhere.

>Any motivated individual can check your social media accounts and report anything they see to the police if it's illegal or suspicious. And they can choose to do this as selectively as they want.

Generally other individuals don't have access to things like IP addresses. And while those don't correlate to a person, it doesn't stop the government from treating it like it does and forcing you to fight it out in court.

30 Days of Cold Showers: Not What I Was Expecting
you're exaggerating.

you can verify, modify a program without having access to processes, designs, contacts, etc. It's much harder without those but it's definitely possible. You're also aware that you can fix your own car, your fridge, your house if you ever want it. Those objects don't actively fight to stay un-repair-able (although the times are changing)

as far as cloning goes, I'm sure you're aware that there are many clones of your television, phone, etc. sold every day.

But in the end, it's a political choice. Either you agree with the fact that some people protect "their" idea (that they had by studying others' ideas), make profit out of it by keeping it a secret, that is, making sure it won't reach the greater part of mankind but only their customer base. Or you don't agree with that. RMS doesn't and he shows he can do it with an appropriate level of incoherence (notice that most free software, in turns, is written or proprietary hardware : just try to reverse engineer a CPU).

So it's not black and white. And if in some field there are rules, laws, etc. don't forget they were put in place also to protect commercial interest (in place of general interest). Software being new, it gives us (the idealists) an opportunity to propose another approach.
I agree. And just because it's a company making billions selling software doesn't mean they're obliged to pay you a great deal of money.

If Beigi was smart he would've asked them to purchase the copyrights as he's the only one legally entitled to do so.

If he's developing his software altruistically he should be satisfied with his credit, well knowing that his project will now be overshadowed by Microsoft's and will eventually pass into oblivion and be forgotten.
This item from their change list:

> Use non-expired certificates first when building a certificate chain.

.. Is relevant to the recent expiry of Sectigo's old "AddTrust" root. If your library cheerfully assembles a trust path with the expired root and then concludes the certificate isn't valid because the root is expired you're pointlessly inconvenienced compared to a library that can use the same raw materials to discover a working trust path with no expired certificates.

We can't poke fun at a religion because other religions are also worthy of it? Why not poke fun at all of them?
By rightousness I mean a zealous belief that you are right and those who disagree are wrong. There isn't any correctness or incorrect implication with righteousness: it can power civil rights movements and the reign of terror all the same.

In this particular instance though, I am implying that OPs righteousness, devoid of nuance and juvenile in its simplicity, is indeed wrong. And I wouldn't work at an organization whose staff was curated by such a faulty logic.

> Media is supposed to be divisive.

Do you mean "media is supposed to be diverse"? Because that's a goal which is commonly held to be good.

I've literally never heard anyone say "Media is supposed to be divisive", nor heard the case for it. I'm going to assume that was a typo?

For the record:

Diverse: showing a great deal of variety; very different.

Diversive: tending to cause disagreement or hostility between people.

Can be a bit more specific? Your words imply accusations without explicitly making them, and it comes across as two-faced to me.

* why are you highlighting those HN guidelines?

* who are the "people" you want to "re-examine their communication tendencies", and what motivates this plea?

* why are you curious about how I "approached this thread"?

That aside,

I answered your question: replying to a thread in an ambiguous or open-ended manner will cause people to fill in the gaps (infer your meaning) from the context of the thread. If your meaning does not follow from the context (i.e. is a non-sequitur) it's likely you will be misunderstood; In this case that you were offering "an argument against the idea that you can work somewhere where they refuse to buy things like this, and still have it be a good job."
> Do you want to force every company

Dude, I don't want to force anybody to do anything. Even if it is unethical, nobody's saying that proprietary software should be illegal (except maybe when it is paid for by public resources, but this is another issue).

I'm just refusing to partake in the proliferation of proprietary software, by my acts, and by telling other people why they might consider to do so.
No, the paradox of tolerance is relevant when you have radical political factions inflicting violence on the population and preventing opposing opinions, not when some small group of people has crazy ideas that have little-to-no impact on society as a whole.

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant.

Crazy people thinking that the Earth is flat doesn't prevent you from circumnavigating it.
I agree, though with ultra high speed NVMe SSDs, not having enough RAM isn’t the performance penalty it used to be for casual computer use.
I ran for quite a while without any analytics after removing GA. I've now settled on Fathom for Kubestack.

It was important to me to be mindful about the privacy of my visitors but at the same time I need some data to see if I'm on the right track. Fathom seemed like a good compromise.
> and the alternative is something hobbled.

Is the difference between a Toyota and a Mercedes one of being "hobbled"?
Well the current debate is on if it SHOULD not if it does

The secondary debate is on if the FCC has the legal authority to make a rule that it does or if that would have to come from congress

My personal opinion is that Congress should amend the CDA to state that any Public Company that wants to be considered a platform under 230 should be required to follow the First amendment of the US Constitution as if they were a governmental agency in their moderation policies for United States based Users. This would still allow them to moderate illegal, violent, and other content, but prohibit political bias that is rampant on all the major platforms
I'd love to see what turned up in discovery as his lawyers sifted through MS records.
Holding them "to a higher standard" is verbal masterbation; feels good, conclusion is a climax of moral splooge, you even get to nap after, but it sets no defined goals and says nothing anyone hasn't already heard.

Police have immunity because many cops come from military backgrounds, have operated in chaotic urban and rural environments and know how fragile life is, so they formed a union to protect their interests and skins from the legislative, judicial, executive branches and the public, all of whom from time to time looks for the easiest party to scapegoat; the police.

The public, and you especially, need to understand cops are not gun-wielding process-following soldier robots, they are human beings. If the milwaukee cop saved 100 lives in his career and takes one by accident and there are riots, that's one hell of a double standard to set. The first step to a root cause analysis is taking the officer to a padded room for a thorough psych evaluation.

When you end up with a SWAT Raid of someone's house that goes wrong and their chihwuawua gets shot, that's half the story. A lot of the time the reason you only hear half of the story is to protect someone. A lot of the story is, the population is not as intelligent or well-to-do as the hackernews demographic; to a military strategist, shows of force are an essential mechanism for gaining compliance, and they are probably right about that to an extent.

You have a demographic that is not doing themselves any favors; rioting, assaulting people, looting businesses, burning buildings. This is not a civil way to handle the situation. What I find very interesting this time around is the willingness of the public, especially young kids, to take up arms and defend their neighbors businesses and back up the police. That there is the start of something.
I thought this would be good to resubmit given the current discussion around social media posts.
I think it's part of a larger trend of outsourcing logic/services to outside SaaSs. Reminds me of that image posted here on HN of a spider-web of all of the SaaS products that just one company used centered around Salesforce.

For almost every SaaS one can always say "yeah but I can do it myself by doing A, B, and C" but the fact is that time is precious, and if you outsource parts of your website/product, it means for $19 a month you're getting a product that is worked on full-time by 4 engineers.

What burn-in? E-ink is a passive technology, it's not "on" like liquid crystals that have to constantly be pulled into a specific configuration by applying fresh charge, and will settle in that configuration over time as they find the lowest energy state amongst themselves that then has to be overcome with a higher charge.
> Do you think the US government should not look at what people publicly say as part of their entrance criteria to the US? If so, what about those people who publicly say they want to harm an individual or group of people? Should what they say not be considered for entrance? The US government has a responsibility to protect it's individuals as part of the entrance selection criteria to the US.

It's the endless debate of security v.s. privacy and potential abuse of policy. Governments across the globe are trying to use the technology boom as an opportunity to redefine the borders on this topic that I believe were perfectly fine before. And it's all smoke and mirrors to
distract from the fact that it's just literally 'because technology'.

Example 1: the postal service opening your mail is a big no-no without a warrant, but suddenly 'because technology' it's okay to do to internet traffic?

Example 2: Two people having a private conversation has been possible since the dawn of time, but suddenly 'because technology' the government has the inalienable right to eavesdrop and backdoor every conversation at any time?

Example 3: The right to not self-incriminate is incredibly
important, but suddenly 'because technology' you can be forced to give up encryption keys and open laptops using information that only exists in your head, or risk being detained indefinitely?

I believe that if your argument boils down to 'it's X but with technology' then the government shouldn't have any extra rights or deny any of yours.

I personally think the real issue with the social media border inspection is the self-incrimination and possibly warrentless searches.

I don't have an issue with a border agent looking you up on Facebook,
finding your public profile and seeing you posted messages inciting violence against gays, and denying you entry.
I do have issues with the government forcing Facebook to give up private messages without a warrant.

I also have a problem with you being forced to divulge all
your social media accounts or risk being denied entry based
on the fact that you lied. This is just plain self-incrimination.
Ask HN: Do you need to load/unload short term memory when switching tasks?
Hi HN, Do feel like you have to load/unload short term memory when switching mental tasks?

What I mean is that when I work on something for a few days(back end code for example) and switch back to something else I have been working(UI design for example) I feel completely foreign to the task that I switch back to.

Not just the feeling, I cannot remember anything about and I need maybe a day for the mental model to come back to me. It's almost like loading an app from hard drive back into the RAM.

Does it happen to you too? If so, how do you overcome it? Any tips on "multitasking"?
I agree.

The fact is that all the problems highlighted (C19, police etc) got magnified by a bloodthirsty media looking for clicks.

Outside of big cities covid has been a nonfactor and the numbers are convincing especially when you take nursing homes out if the equation. There is plenty of research conclusively stating that police racism is behind us (see ex. research paper by black harvard PHD, widely cited). Even the riots in NYC were mild considering what is happening in cities like PHI.

So yes, there are indeed parts where things are not great PHI, NYC covid etc, but those are outliers. Yet the media ia using those examples and projecting it over an entire countey. Thats wrong and also a lie
