The jackhammer does not store text that you write on your behalf. Firefox does. When you type a comment here on HN, you do so in a form field. Firefox stores that text for you and reproduces it on demand. Since you and only you have copyright on that text, you and only you can legally publish it.

I think it is dumb that they want _explicit_ permission to do this, when we grant _implicit_ permission to all kinds of programs day in and day out to do the same thing. `less` doesn’t ask for permission when I tell it to display a file to me, it just does it. `curl` doesn’t ask for permission when I tell it to upload the file to a server. Etc, etc.

But check out the ToS for other web browsers, for desktop publishing programs, office suites, email clients, etc, etc. Many of them have similar language. Not all of them, but many.
Neat idea, but my takeaway is I had no idea that DNS also runs on UDP/53.. I always thought it was TCP only! #TIL

The author cites it as performance reasons, but at this scale, even the uplink to cloudflare, would be negligible, no?

This is very much an open question.
One takeaway of the Mozilla debacle is that software as a non-service is dying if not dead.

What I mean is the concept that software could be a thing that someone just obtains, like a pencil. The things you write with a pencil belong to you. The pencil belongs to you. You don't have an ongoing contractual licensing agreement with the pencil manufacturer that gives them a worldwide non-commercial right to reflect light off the graphite in order to display words.

In 2008, Google had already begun to forget that software could be like a pencil. It seems that in 2025, even the concept is alien to lawyers and perhaps developers at Mozilla, and many other places. The do not understand how one could use a software tool without granting the company behind it a license to everything you do with the tool, because they do not understand the concept of software usage except as a business relationship between the user and the company who developed it.

Because learning how a software model a particular problem domain is a great step towards efficient use? You can hope it's magic, but that's a recipe for failure if you're a heavy user. Every professional learns the ins and outs of the tools he uses often.

There are ways, but they generally need a cooperation of both sides of the inter-domain boundary. What you generally can't do is make arbitrary reads from the context of other domain (e.g. call GET on their api and read a result) into your domain without them explicitly allowing it.
Laptops valued under Rs 50,000 are exempt from duty in India.
Laptops between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 70,000 come under 10% duty.
Laptops over Rs 70,000 come under 18% + 18% GST.
This is a lot.

However, if your laptop meets these criteria, you can forgo paying duties:

- it is used or opened with signs of wear or tear,

- it has an older invoice (3+ years) showing purchase outside India,

- it has repair or warranty documents from previous use abroad.

> The straw man is pushing the idea that nothing should ever be touched because all of it is essential

Nobody ever said that. They suggested that a bunch of people with no idea how anything in government worked or even the basic numeracy skills to tell the difference between a million and a billion dishing out firings with zero knowledge of who they were firing and bragging about it (with an occasional "oops maybe we shouldn't have fired the guys protecting us from nukes or Ebola) didn't look like a solution. So yes, it's a straw man entirely of your own construction.

I mean, if you're sincerely interested in cutting stuff that's absolute waste you'd maybe start with not charging Secret Service personnel 5x the market rate to stay at places like Mar-a-Lago for a cool $2m income for the president's personal business, not with firing people who create tax filing tools.

> BTW, I keep reading and hearing derogative terms like "script kiddies" and "20 year olds". What's happened to diversity and inclusion?

The government banned it, remember. In favour of "meritocracy". So I'm wondering what merit an 18 year old with two internships (fired from one) and no professional experience has demonstrated in the auditing of government employees? I think there's also a magical ability bar, and I'd set that a bit higher than being unable to tell the difference between a million and a billion when summing up their achievements in a public facing communication. Probably a whole pool of candidates out there that have never tried to procure DDoS attacks; most otherwise-equally-unqualified 18 year olds haven't never mind most people who understand how to audit government departments or at least how to read a balance sheet. But yeah, it does look a whole lot like DEI for people that would definitely have to delete their social media to get a regular job. You like DEI now the beneficiaries are unqualified edgelords rather than qualified people who are black or female?

Are you talking about the risk from inclusion to the including page? The concern about cross-origin requests was in the other direction (to the remote resource, not the including page). That concern applies to <script> inclusion as well, in addition to the possibility of running unwanted or incompatible script code.
Thank you for explaining your point of view on the interest of this conversation. Here's mine, I consider an offense to be something quite subjective sometimes. In some cases, it's possible to offend someone without meaning to. The solution to this problem is to apologize and offer to talk about it. If that doesn't work, and the offense is in some way "forbidden", then the offended person can simply defend themselves by going to the “authorities”.

Maybe I have an insufficient IQ, but I can't figure out what paper the site is referring to, so I may be missing something in the premise.

IQ tests are mostly puzzles, which makes them susceptible to quite a bit of error, based on how practiced the subject is with puzzle solving.

I would suspect there is a very strong correlation between being introverted and both enjoying puzzles and having difficulty with our extrovert-oriented society.

Also, most of the population suffers from anxiety and depression, so it may have more to do with being human that scoring high on an IQ test.
I really do wonder where we lost the plot and where the opposition for diversity programs became legitimately insane. Like even if I agreed with them, and on some parts I do, I've never hated anything in my life with the intensity currently on display. Not the least of which because the group implementing these programs might be called naive or misguided, but are in good faith trying to improve things.

I don't particularly care for most of the implementations of diversity programs but I'm not so blind as to not see POSIWID and that you have to actually look at the outcomes to identify cases where systems aren't as fair as they might seem on paper.

What fraud happened at Harvard?
My thinking is on a few ideas about accountability.

One is that, since Kagi subscriptions also help fund Orion (according to the Orion website), Kagi users that don't have Apple products can't actually verify the functionality of the browser they're helping to fund. That makes accountability hard in terms of Kagi users verifying that Orion is something they're happy to be funding. Maybe I would think it sucks and rather they not spend any of my money on Orion and send the entirety of my subscription to fund search? I don't know - I can't use Orion.

Also, since Kagi subscriptions help to fund Orion, Orion is clearly not accountable only to users of Orion. In theory, Kagi users who don't/can't use Orion could demand that Kagi subscriptions stop funding Orion. Or they could theoretically say, "I'll only fund it if you start selling user data to make it possible to raise additional funds for a Windows port." That's probably not something that will happen, but the idea that Orion is solely accountable to users of Orion doesn't seem to be true, since Kagi users are also involved. Hell, if it means my Kagi subscription would get cheaper, sell the data. None of my data is in there, so I don't care.

I just don't think this idea of Orion being accountable solely to the users funding it is true, basically.

3v 225 mAh is not what it pulls. That's the battery rating. "Pulls" refers to the current at a voltage. For example, you may say that it pulls 100 uA at 3v. So, first step is to measure what it actually pulls. Ideally profile it over time and in different scenarios. Or record how long it takes to drain the battery, measure the battery voltage under a small but nonzero load, and approximate how much energy was drained vs time to get watts consumed. Then you can work out what kind of solar cell and charge controller you can pair it with. Unsure if MPPT would be needed here, you likely aren't going for the absolute max power efficiency.

Pretty good! I lost. I knew I would. I was on the AI's side.
I'm not a fan of the strongman approach no matter which party is doing it, but I think the argument is that conservatives want the power of an FDR-like figure absent any of the actual factors that contributed to the real FDR having that power.

FDR was faced with two of the greatest challenges to face the US, the great depression and WWII, and he had overwhelming support from the voters in how he was addressing those challenges as reaffirmed in 4 elections in a row. In my opinion that still doesn't justify FDR's extraordinary take on presidential power, and the passage of the 22nd amendment among other things seems to suggest mine was not an isolated view, but it's hard to argue FDR didn't have a unique set of circumstances and a rare mandate.

Some conservatives seem to want to emulate FDR's approach of having the President act like a King, but skip over the circumstances and mandate unique to FDR that "justified" that approach. It might be different if they were trying to build such a massive, enduring electoral mandate by identify some generational problem to solve with real solutions and a man or woman of destiny to embrace their historical moment. But they don't have any of that and are nevertheless jumping to the President=King step anyways, like a store brand FDR knockoff.
I'm not saying you are wrong about building effective channels of communication. The few leaders remaining of the dems agree with you but, knowing what to do after you build those channels of communication is important.
Americans will have to get smarter but by not participating we are handing complete control to the 'enemies'. The majority of Americans do not have to participate but those who want to, should be able to, and the government needs to be smart enough through participating to understand where and how to regulate and control aspects of it for those who do participate.
Humans can hallucinate up some API they want to call in the same way that LLMs can, but you don't call all human mistakes hallucinations; classifying everything LLMs do wrong as hallucinations would seem rather pointless to me.
> const enums are almost never mentioned by these articles for some reason.

I think it's because a lot of tooling (excepting TSC) doesn't support cross-file const enums. But I agree - it's one of the reasons I started using TypeScript way back in 2013. I wouldn't be able to write comprehensible performance sensitive code without it.
> So we would have to capture nearly half of all available geothermal energy to replace current energy usage.

No, you're completely misunderstanding the meaning of that number. 50TW is not the power generated in the earth's center, and definitely not the "available geothermal energy".

It's the heat flow that reaches the surface. The newly generated heat (from radioactive decay) is a fraction of that (estimates vary between 20% and 80%). The rest is a loss of the primordial heat that has been stored in those billions of cubic kilometers of magma for billions of years. And this loss has been happening for billions of years and there's plenty left.

So there are no physical reasons why we could not extract 500TW or 5000TW from geothermal energy. We'd be depleting the priomordial heat much faster than before, but it would still easily last for millions of years.

Of course, whether the engineering to do it on that scale would be feasible, let alone cost-effective, is a different question.

I use Git Extensions since 2012 or something?

I basically never used Git command line unless fixing some problems other people created.

It is just insanity when people claim "only proper way is to use command line" - well yeah it is much faster if you work on your branch and just need to make quick series of commits. But as soon as you have to deal with collaboration with other people and organize project, coordinate features etc. I find GUI invaluable and Git Extensions of course.
Like many, I got my start with perl by finding myself having to customize a WWWBoard. The site owner then switched to a new perl based forum that used flat linear threads, the Ultimate Bulletin Board. (Which itself is based on code in Selena Sol's "Instant CGI/Perl"!) So, I learned that too. The guy that made it had a forum for it where other people were sharing their changes to the code, mind you this was a commercial product. The company ended up hiring a handful of us from that forum. I ended up doing the coding on the perl UBB for five years, launching my career.

So, thanks Matt. Your code may not have aged well, but it touched millions and millions of people.

Mattermost and Zulip aren't decentralized.
Probably still not competitive — given that PV and wind are in most places already the two cheapest electrical sources, the remaining part of the power equation that geothermal can still help with is then competing with one of either batteries or a global power grid.

(I really should turn my notes on global power grid into an actual blog post, so I can link to it, given how much it comes up).
