Why are we ok with Apple or Microsoft or Mozilla deciding on a wide selection is CAs for us to trust?

I understand why they originally let each CA in, but it's definitely not one size fits all users.

A user in the US does not need to trust a Turkish CA the same way a user in Turkey does.

There needs to be an easy way for end users to personally drop trust of CAs they don't need and have that decision respected and remembered.

You should see what metaAI (the Ai that sits inside all your private WhatsApp conversations) does. It has severe thought police installed but it types the offensive stuff first and then quickly edits when it reads what it wrote.

Is it not possible that there really was a John Alfred Tinniswood living in 1921 but the man who now claims to be him in 2024 is actually someone else who stole the original's identity when he died unrecorded?

Because fb knows the user is male and odds are this would attract a click.

There was a similar thing to tea a while back. I think I saw the project posted on here. Went to their github and found a typo in their Readme. Opened a pr with a correction and then they started sending me about a dollar in btc every month till they ran out of money and the project imploded.

My house rep has been in office for over 30 years. And my city doesn't directly elect the mayor.

Such is life in Palo Alto.

Doesn't matter who you buy into the whitehouse, you also need to buy the majority in both houses of congress for anything to get done.

This is prohibitively expensive for anyone, even the largest corporations.

Noip isn't free?

I have 3 domains there for years and I haven't paid them once.

Some time ago they started requiring that I mark the domains active each month. I wrote a script that intercepts that email and logs into their site to reup the domains. Recently that script broke and I haven't bothered to fix it because logging in once a month is a nothing burger.

There are still some mom and pop shops that carry that sort of stuff. Try to find one near you and then give them a lot of business

I'm here with mobile Firefox and HN is abreviating the display of those links so they are ACTUALLY identical on my screen.

You cant just inflate numbers at will to suit your narrative.

Current estimates are in fact only 500 trucks a day needed. This is directly from the UN.

How far is Israel expected to deliver the food? Right to everyone's door?

A seige means the borders are closed. The current situation, for at least 6 months now is that Israel is letting food trucks through the border, more and more every day.

A problem exists for that last mile inside Gaza where no one wants to distribute it because militants will straight up beat truck drivers with sticks to steal the trucks and the food.

You'd think the UN would step in and do something but so far they mostly just sit on their hands bleating.

So to summarize: there are huge piles of food just inside the Gaza border that are not being distributed efficiently/at all.

I also want to point out that it's not in Israel's best interest for there to be food shortages inside Gaza. The first people who will be starved are the hostages, so Israel wants to flood the strip with so much food that some trickles down to her citizens held there against their will.
