I don’t fawn, I just pay and use-and-forget. It’s almost to the point where it’s a little mental bump when I have to make a browser use it again, setting up something new.

Kagi has a pile of features I’m not getting the benefit of too, I’m sure, because it’s just-search, mostly, to me.

That’s fine; I know what I’m supporting, and I know that I’m the customer and not the product.

See: Amazon Sidewalk

This is, in every actual sense of the word, “problematic”.

Even being charitable and ignoring those who claim that reddit is a cesspool, a single source here is bad. Really bad.

How so? There’s a text file right there…

Then they also get to support it themselves?

I’m late in responding, but yeah… No particular duty on the part of the police, including in the middle of someone killing you, and all (see the book “Dial 911 and Die”).

Since it looks like you’re the author, well… “you’re (that’s) socialist.”

Given you’ve (ironically or not) opened with a threat to murder anyone who makes this claim, via “I’m tired of being calm about this. If you so much as whisper ‘that’s socialist’ […] I will beat you to death with a sickle tied to a demand curve.”:

You may try to beat people to death with your precious sickle. In the civilized world, you’ll die from a stream of (ideally lead-free, but when people are try to kill you being environmentally friendly is optional) high speed projectiles.

You propose redistribution intentionally and explicitly, then claim, “redistribution isn’t the point”. Yes. It is, and we all know it.

You lie that it won’t cause massive inflation to just print money and then tax it, before going on to admit, “Whoever calculates the national CPI will have a tiny bit of extra work to do. It also is inflation in terms of eroding savings and assets.” …so yes, it will be inflation, but you just need someone to do the lying for you via a bit of “extra work”.

You claim this will solve the stagnation of Western economies, the “far right”, nationalism, housing, and “consumption as a component of economic activity”. Will it also solve world peace and hunger, or do you want to stop while you’re behind?

Just admit what you want directly AND stop lying in the process.

When this is so clearly theft, how can the police just claim “it’s a civil matter”?

They seem to like that excuse, I know… but gahhh!

No, it won’t be.

If “AI” doesn’t improve past that, it will have failed.

If it has improved past that, I won’t have a future job, and neither will you.

As someone else mentioned it IS entirely problematic how advertisers/others abuse people, and I get WHY location gets stripped. I still think it's abusive to take away the user's choice.

(and why do they have to strip almost ALL EXIF data, instead of just location? [yes, yes, fingerprinting, but there are LOTS of iPhone {NUMBER} whatever out there])

It really just needs to be clearly communicated, opt-in at attach time. Probably with a severely hidden, developer-screen level, or BIG WARNING in security settings to totally disable stripping.

I assume most people won't want it, _usually_, so when adding photos just have it be a double-opt in - you have to both hit an extra button during attachment, then select "include location" or "include location and metadata", then a modal warning/confirmation.

Something like: "Confirm including photo location? This will permit the recipient to see where the pictures were taken. <yes/no>"

To quote all of the "don't submit" from HN guidelines:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

The definition of "interesting new phenomenon" has room for variance in interpretation, but the sentence following really scopes that down.

So, yes, participation is optional; however, if moderation can't keep it under control, HN will suffer, badly.

So how do I get a Sr. Dev job in London from US public sector?

Generalized, noting there are always exceptions: many CS lessons seem to be needing repetition among Node.js users, in the general sense and where CS wasn’t really taught.

Mistake? Gah. Probably in a lot of cases. The ecosystem around it is both “robust” in the sense of projects and libraries, and “objectively awful” for permitting some of the recent security issues seen.

ECMAScript was never intended for where it’s at now, and all the lipstick Google applies won’t change that, even if it “works fast” “now”.

What I’d pick for a new project? It depends, tell me about the project. …it probably won’t be Node.js though.

And now some suspicion starts setting in. Granted, someone is going to have multiple runs of “bad luck”, statistically.

The kinds of things you want here, and that I think we all do, are hard.

Yes, ideally a trusted intermediary would do something like… read your digital ID (which stiLL doesn’t guarantee it’s you providing it, up to a point), examine a birthdate, and sign an attestation to a liquor store that “this user is 21 or older” without you ever having to fork over your name, address, or biometric details.

The will to enforce such measures, at least in the US, seems low.
