for the california legislation there were no "nay" votes. it's disapointing this performatively protective stance permeates both dominant right-of-global-center parties in America, but it is "all of them"

That'd be a "style-over-substance" fallacious argument. Or one could be hoping for a halo-effect to cloud the reader's opinion of their comment because some piece of software made it read like Enron-marketing-hogwash-speak.

>It will add an additional hour or two of effort to every resident of the state, even if they are below the state income threshold which is quite an externality.

Nope, that is false. The language of the bill only requires filing if tax is owed. There will be a handful of folks on the cusp who will need to calculate their AGI to determine their state tax liability but everyone else knows offhand if they need to file.

The language is "Individuals not owing tax under this chapter are not required to file a return..."

To be clear, this position is: "capitulate to the police state, or die" with no discussion about whether that should be the case.

It's a bad take.

yes? it's got sexist and classist elements and satirizes victorian culture.

i'd encourage reading it ahead of gifting (and i'd encourage grabbing it from archive.org or something, since it's 141 years old) because not all 10 yearolds are going to receive it the same way

if one wants additional chart types, this is a decent option

this is one where "software forge" is industry specific jargon (similar to "isostaticrebound" in earthquake science and "evapotranspiration" in biology) which the intended audience would tend to know the definition of. that said, it's a fair complaint for the quality of their marketing material (if not their technical documentation).

as an aside, i checked and it takes four taps (with an thumb highlight thown in ) to define it from my phone.

I didn't watch the video but read the GOG post and did an AI summary of the video.

I don't see the "humiliated" part. GOG definitely is picking a tiny fight and taking a principled stance but there's no indication Blizzard even cares, is there?

is the problem Android, for you, or is the problem "Google Android", "Samsung Android", "Motorola Android, by Verizon"?

that FAQ is accurate but (rightly) doesn't cover high-security deployments.

if I'm running the bridges local-to-the-client (I am, on my McBook) it's not meaningfully any less e2ee. encryption happens in the matrix client (running on the laptop), the encrypted message is sent to the homeserver on localhost, the bridge (on localhost) grabs the encrypted message and decrypts it, then the bridge re-encrypts it and sends it to Whatsapp (or wherever). the content of the message is as secure over the wire with this approach as using first-party apps directly

if one hosts their own bridges they're person-in-the-middling themselves and should take all the necessary precautions. if they're using beeper's hosted options they have to delegate read/write ability to beeper (though I think the signal and imessage bridges might be device-local), and beeper is clear about that.

right, I could've been clearer.

there's an implicit analogue between comments and submissions. i suspect low karma users use the only tools at their disposal for both

>I don’t understand why anyone would flag it.

I do, I didn't, but I understand why it happens. my HN account is 14 years old, I read comments frequently, comment rarely, upvote occasionally, and flag very very rarely.

I don't downvote because can't, I don't have enough karma yet. so, even if people who can't yet downvote don't know the full effects of flagging it's _literally_ their only option to indicate their belief something doesn't belong on the front page.
