I think they have a responsibility to honor the constitutions of respective countries and not do that at all.

Seriously, this undermines my belief that an international institution like Europol can work if not heavily constrained to be a bridge between executive forces of cooperating countries.

Some members of Europol do good work to fight international crime, which includes criminal online networks. I believe they need wiser leadership that accepts constraints and realities of their tools and use these to the best of their abilities.

Encryption, including end-to-end encryption for confidential communication is a very important mechanism for democracies that cannot be given away for ambitions of crime fighting organizations that do not have democratic legitimacy to access any form of communication.
The strange thing to me is why ARM, which is about chips with small area, where you don't need chiplets, cares.

If you do get involved with chiplets, which ARM says will be "because AI" (sigh), you need physical and logical interconnect standards, something ARM has been doing for a long time for SoC-internal connections: the AMBA bus standard.
Maybe the legal system shouldn't have been used to go after individuals based on political reasons? Wouldn't that be a good start? Fed always win, so send Fed after someone and they will be in jail soon. It doesn't matter what they did or didn't do, this is sadly the way it's done now.

1500 in jail for protesting in DC? Really, less than that in jail after months BLM riots afaik. Sure, jail a few bad boys, but 1500? No way.

Throw a rock at people in power and go jail. Rape and murder is fine, no threat to DC.
Arm doesn't only do ISA. It essentially wrote the standards for the AMBA/AXI/ACE/CHI interconnect space. Standardizing chip-to-chip interconnects is very much in Arm's interests. It is a double edged sword though since Chiplets will likely enable fine grained modularity allowing IP from other vendors to be stitched around Arm (eg RISC-V IOMMU instead of Arm SMMUv3 etc).
You might argue that forms of fact-checking or moderation of controversial content constituted censorship, but you cannot believe that that equates to such explicit silencing of political opponents.
When did they censor the republicans?
It's absolutely impossible to answer you because the very premise of your question is made in bad faith. You wouldn't even need to think, by yourself, very long to get a long list of examples; the fact that you somehow can't means you don't want to and don't intend to.

It's part of the separation of powers and the system of checks & balances against powers of branches of government.

Congress makes laws and impeaches presidents, courts judge constitutionality of laws and try cases of treason and presidents appoint judges and grant pardons.

You can't have impeachment without pardon, otherwise, there wouldn't be a check against judicial tyranny.

> And what dictator is going to implement this perfect solution?

Nothing about it requires a dictator. You vote for politicians who repeal laws that don't have widespread consensus, when enough people vote for them they get repealed. Ideally you then do something that makes it more difficult to re-pass them.

> Some high profile bad guys, or parade of run-of-the-mill criminals, get off because of said procedural loopholes

The procedures aren't loopholes. They're prerequisites for a conviction. They by no means make a conviction impossible, but you have to do the work.

> At the same time, you have #MeToo, Harvey Weinstein, etc, which has resulted in the expansion of sexual crimes and punishments, and elimination of statutes of limitations, partly because procedural protections have made it extremely difficult to prosecute past behaviors, not because they strictly weren't already cognizable crimes.

The problem here is not procedural rules at all. It's evidentiary difficulties. How do you distinguish between someone who consents but then has regrets and changes their story, or someone who has sex with someone wealthy in order to extort them for money, and someone who was actually sexually assaulted?

There is no perfect solution to that, but "innocent until proven guilty" is the only sane one. What you then need is a system that can uphold that standard even when there is pressure not to.

> That suggests that by giving back more discretion to the system, not less, it's possible and, IMO, much more likely we could end up with a more fair system all around.

It suggests that when you give more discretion to the system and the system favors you at this moment in time, you get what you want, for now.

But then there is another election and you may not like what someone else does with that discretion.
I just like many others use a digital invoicing system I subscribe to. It's very cheap, just a few euro a month. They already introduced Peppol support so it's not an issue really. Any invoicing system that doesn't offer integration with Peppol would go out of business (basically useful only for VAT-exempt subjects which is a tiny fraction of the market).
> would that remedy the situation a little?

I've had this thought before and my tentative conclusion is "no". It boils down to the purpose of democracy which is NOT to produce the best government but to make people feel ok about having a government at all.

HN: What are the effects of debt on your life?
I have a 35-year mortgage for my home, along with responsibilities for my family and children. I hate my job, and the current job market feels bleak. The thought of carrying this debt for 35 years weighs on me, even invading my sleep. Sometimes, I wish I had chosen to rent instead of buying property.

I often reminisce about the days when I was debt-free and unburdened by responsibilities. Back then, life seemed full of possibilities. Now, it feels like I’m merely existing to pay off debt rather than truly living.

Does anyone else feel this way? How do you cope with it? Any advice or shared experiences would mean a lot.
I also have a lot of experience with various setups and front-end technologies, and I couldn't agree more!

Furthermore, I'd say this: if you can't simply serialize your view-model and send it to the client because something might get exposed or because it's a complex object with embedded logic, your first priority should be fixing that. Only after achieving this should you even think about changing how you handle the front-end.
"Everything the Nazis did they had a law for. The mass murder was all lawful according to the 3rd Reich's laws."

Can you cite those laws?

I doubt you can, because they do not exist. There were laws for removing jews from academic positions and to confiscate their belongings - but no law allowing to kill them based on them being jews.

The Nazis operated from the very beginning on the principle do things and later maybe add a law about it, if necessary.
Use the framework that has the libraries you need, React has a lot of ecosystem around it so it tends to have everything. You don't want to spend time
integrating a plain JS calendar library into your random framework when you can just use react-calendar.

So look at your requirements, check the framework for libraries and tools (like deployment, hosting, monitoring etc) available. The libraries you use are much more important than the framework.

Do note that although there are plenty of react chart libraries they tend to be quite under-performant. Tying chart rendering with any frontend framework building blocks ends up with bad performance. If you are dealing with >10k data-points that update often I recommend using a plain-js chart library.

Trump was banned from Facebook and Twitter. They didn't seem to have a problem with this. It's interesting how the brainwashing works: they always find a reason for whatever they do. "Empathy", "sympathy", "compassion" for whatever evil they do. "We are protecting innocent people from the Dangerous Thoughts".

When other groups do it to them, then they cry in the media in which they control.

Hello hackers!

I just launch NativeStack UI to accelerate your development process.
[the point] <-------------------------------------------------------> [you]
I have similar kind of experience and made similar conclusions for myself.

In addition to the points you have made already, I would like to add that almost every larger project needs a lot of business logic on the backend side anyways. There is no possibility to have this logic in the frontend and there never will be (for security reasons at least). So given these circumstances, we usually already have quite a few people experienced with - and very efficient in - these backend technologies.

So why would I spend a lot of time re-creating all kinds of routing, models, properties, etc. in an SPA? We currently run an Ember SPA for our largest project and 1/3+ of the time spent on it is pure waste because it is simply additional work to facilitate the use of this SPA at all.

In every project I've worked on, the interactive and dynamic elements actually used that are written in JS end up being a lot fewer than originally anticipated. Unless you're building a product where the majority of the functionality relies on instant, realtime updates such as maybe a streaming site with chat, etc., building, maintaining and extending an SPA is a huge overhead that offers little benefit over "dumb", static views with small, isolated interactive components.

Prosecutors often choose not to pursue additional charges against someone already serving a life sentence. This approach helps avoid wasting court time and resources on cases that are unlikely to change the individual’s circumstances or contribute meaningfully to justice (none of the murders for hire resulted in victims).

I actually wonder if those charges may still be on the table now that a pardon has been granted.

> When a user sends an attachment (e.g., an image) on Signal, it is uploaded to cdn2.signal.org.

Why is that even the case? I had understood that (binary) attachments are embedded into the encrypted message and hence transferred directly from sender to receiver.

Obviously, retrieving media from an external location saves bandwidth at multiple positions. I am not a security expert, but it seems almost trivial to see how storing message data on an external server conceptually facilitates attacks like this one.
Isn't that the same reason a link preview is generated at the sender first and then embedded into the message as an image?

The core tenet of Muskism, as described at length in Isaacson's bio is around those lines:

* question all the rules

* when in doubt, slash the rule, and see what happens

* if it's really bad without it, bring back the rule

* if you don't have to bring back 10% of the rules that you slashed, you haven't slashed enough yet

USA is now entering the phase where everything is getting slashed - following the will of the majority of -Pennsylvania- the people.

At the level of a company, this can bring great efficiencies, and make reusable self-driving cancer-free nuclear-fusion based rockets. Or crypto scams.

Unfortunately, at the level of a Federal Government, it will bring lower taxes, but some of the 10% will end with coffins. And crypto scams.

We'll watch from the other side of the Atlantic how the great libertarianism experiment goes for the USA.

I expect both impressive improvements, and dramatic karmic irony.

Been using Emacs for over 15 years and, now you mention it, I guess that is why. At the time it was normal for people to use a different IDE per language and these would be littered with buttons, menus, tabs etc. I thought this was ridiculous so looked into vim and Emacs. Emacs is obviously better so I made my config completely distraction-free (which is trivial to do).

Now 99% of my window is the text I'm editing (two lines reserved for modeline and minibuffer). Nothing pops up or makes its presence known until the moment I need it. Tabs are a good example. I often have close to a hundred files "open" in Emacs but I don't need to know about them until the moment I'm ready to switch to one.

I was 10 years ahead of VS Code taking off but when I look at that I still see a bunch of useless distractions taking up valuable screen space.
I didn't agree with the Trump ban and a lot of other "content moderation" (which affected the left wing too).

It's not a phrase I've ever heard before.

Breaking it down, in case you're curious:

"Seasoning" (you're doubtless aware) refers to salt and pepper, and the act of adding them to food. But I've never heard the word "seasoner" to refer to a salt or pepper dispenser.

The "table" part is fairly commonly used as in "table salt" i.e. salt in a dispenser on the dining table. It's also occasionally used in phrases like "water for the table" when asking a waiter to bring enough water for everyone at the table.

But "table seasoners" is a bit over-laboured for me.

Singular "they" dates at least back as far as the 14th century, and I've yet to meet a person who objects to it but does not use it themselves now and again without even noticing if you observe them speak enough. It's entirely integral to English.

The interlude during which some pushed for "they" to be exclusively plural, was a mere brief blip in the history of the language.

It's also a couple of centuries older than singular "you", so if you want to complain about a pronoun changing between singular and plural, that's a better candidate.

> TWO life sentences plus 40 years - without the possibility of parole

IMHO convicting somebody of such a thing is a crime in itself. Simply not excusable. Especially when the crime is essentially a form of white collar crime at best. Bank robbers, drug dealers, and some actual murderers often get more lenient sentences than that.

I think this was a case of the justice system being abused to make a political point. Casually destroying somebody's life to make a political point should be criminal in itself (with appropriate sentences and public disgrace). I don't agree with Trump's politics. But this seems like he's righting a clear and obvious wrong; so good for him. Regardless of his motivations.
However, DHS was almost entirely formed from existing departments and agencies that were merely rehoused under a new structure, so Chesterton's Fence definitely applies to all of those.

The bodies dead because of worldwide drug wars, because it is insanely costly to sell new medicines, and because some poor African child could not get a medicine because a company spent 500 million to get it approved and needs to recoup their costs in the inflated US market is much harder to count.

It's easier I guess to just frame the counterparty as downplaying the Holocaust. I am just not taking the death of the Jews seriously enough, perhaps I am some kind of racist or culturally insensitive person.
