  1. Are you implying that removing juries would improve alignment between general populace sense of justice and justice system outcomes? Because that would be an unfathomably bad take.
  2. There is a plugin called Unhook. It allows to remove shorts, recommendation feed, or even set subscriptions as your default page.
  3. You can set a password in Signal, preventing movement of your account in case of SIM hijacking. Feature is called "Registration lock".
  4. Empire has an idiot at the helm. As a Pole, I enjoyed pax americana a lot, I regret deeply its decline, and I blame not just MAGA, but both parties. But no matter what is the reason, you guys are not worth the trust anymore. Europe is re-militarizing.
  5. > I think signal is already funded by USA taxpayers.

    Are you speaking about Open Technology Fund? AFAIK they've contributed just 3mil, while Signal costs ~40mil a year.

  6. I have this in my .bashrc:

      function retry {  
          until $@; do :; done  
          alert  
      }
      export -f retry
    
    Works reasonably well for non-scripting usecases.
  7. What long run? She is 39 in Hollywood.
  8. Do you consider it to be useless or is it something else? Privacy concerns (it is e2e encrypted btw)?
  9. Brain drain caused by SpaceX? (shooting in the dark here)
  10. 23andMe should be destroyed, including all copies of its database. I hope EU will fry them.
  11. This example is just a breach of explicit terms of the contract.
  12. > Hiding information for financial gain, getting a better deal, is fraud.

    In what world? While your take is wrong, I just wonder where could you get this idea from?

  13. We really should rename the link. It is grossly misleading.

    > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

  14. Of popular gadgets, Garmin watches (at least fenix series) can work without any additional connectivity and will do all metrics processing on the device.
  15. Except this is not about community. Communities are often exclusionary (e.g. "we, who are not those smelly hippy leftists"). This is about credible neutrality, an attempt to soar above tribal politics. Credible neutrality is an important aspect of money. Many (including Vitalik) think that cryptocurrency can't be considered money if it is not credibly neutral.
  16. I associate this style with soulless marketing campaigns. Thanks, marketing, for destroying language for me.
  17. How "Operation Choke Point" is not a critical flow of the underlying system? I care about civil rights way more than I care about NK.
