For devices that are incapable of user access control, the same rules as a knife, chainsaw or gun apply.

Well said. Parental controls are really nothing more than parents are root and kids are mere users. We shouldn't let the state or corporations be the parents, nor is it necessary.

Age verification by governments or corporations isn't a substitute for parenting. And with parenting age verification by governments or corporations isn't necessary.

They're doing this for some other reason than protecting kids, as usual.

It's an elaborate ruse to condition Americans to the 4th amendment not being a real thing. The PATRIOT ACT which created the TSA was written by Joe Biden after the Oklahoma City bombing and passed after being reintroduced following 9/11 to end-run around the 4th amendment.

Since you're pretending to be a lawyer and losing an argument I'll highlight the part that answers the question:

"shall not be infringed" and "shall not be violated" do not leave loopholes. It's quite clear.

I answered your question. Your failure of comprehension is not my problem.

"shall not be violated" leaves no loopholes. Just like the second amendment:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

"shall not be infringed" and "shall not be violated" do not leave loopholes. It's quite clear.

Believe it or not, I don't care what authoritarians feel about the 4th amendment that was designed to be read and interpreted free of the courts.

The courts are allowed to be wrong, it's true.

Read the fourth amendment since you clearly didn't the first time.

TSA's searches without a warrant are illegal.

The fourth amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

And no, you cannot convince me that searching families flying to see grandma for Christmas is a "reasonable search".

Love this. My resume has been in LaTeX for over 20 years now.

Underappreciated IMHO. You can version control it, no dealing with wild Word shenanigans. Totally deterministic. Just find a style, insert your bullets and you have a nice sharable PDF.

Nowadays you can even have your preferred LLM do the conversion for you. LaTeX is finicky and I've had it fix warnings in mine that I couldn't be bothered to.

Good stuff, highly recommend a LaTeX resume, whether or not you drink coffee.

If you're not using it where it's useful to you, then I still wouldn't say you're getting left behind, but you're making your job harder than it has to be. Anecdotally I've found it useful mostly for writing unit tests and sometimes debugging (can be as effective as a rubber duck).

It's like the 2025 version not not using an IDE.

It's a powerful tool. You still need to know when to and when not to use it.

Apple maps, "Intelligence", siri, etc all run on device because Apple is in the market of selling devices. As many as they can. Whereas google is in the market of selling you to advertisers.

It's literally a major difference in their fundamental business models.

A 10 year old girl died too. They took no precautions to limit damage bystanders even assuming every person with one was a BadGuy™ which makes it terrorism and reprehensible.

I dug into this a little and one of the files is 164GB. How do you even work with these files? That is, how would I search for my SSN on my windows box?

But then who would pay for all of Israel's bombs? Think of the foreign nation whose citizens are happier and healthier than you with single payer healthcare?

Author and programmer Sam Hughes, by the way, pushed this to the limit and invented Base 65,536, which includes basically every character from every language. It is ridiculous and unnecessary, but when has that ever stopped programmers?

The dry sarcastic humor of the author made it very obvious to me that this was satire. I have a very similar sense of humor, at least partly. And I'm a native American English speaker.

Giveaways:

I logged in to my JetStreamers Diamond Altitude account and started clicking.

Satire! It's not called that, but it's a similar marketing wankery version.

This clickable rascal would allow me to access the entire internet through my airmiles account. This would be slow. It would be unbelievably stupid. But it would work.

"It would be unbelievably stupid but I'm going to do it anyway!"

Several co-workers were asking me to review their PRs because my feedback was “two weeks late” and “blocking a critical deployment.” But my ideas are important too so I put on my headphones and smashed on some focus tunes.

Even this was a sarcastic/satirical leadup.

I’d forgotten to charge my headphones so Limp Bizkit started playing out of my laptop speakers. Fortunately no one else on the plane seemed to mind so we all rocked out together.

Limp Bizkit is a very famous (or infamous) band that gets notoroiusly mocked. The odds of even a single person rocking out with that playing out of laptop speakers is tiny. Two people? Everyone on the plane? 0.0% chance.

I don't know why I put so much effort into explaining this.

Because bad people exist and there are imminent dangers? There are legitimately good uses of people shooting people all the time. Hostage situations being the painfully obvious example.

What even is this question?

What's the r for? reddit (markdown?)

Turf wars. We just call it war when humans do it. Or genocide.

None of this applies to crows. They're very happy to eat our rotting corpses and day old vomit. So feeding them can be an adventure if you try hard enough.

You'd be surprised. A college student in an interesting field is an interesting target. Doesn't mean he's done anything nefarious or even shady.

Industrial espionage is a thing.

I'm kinda the opposite. Way too many times I've seen "upgrades" actively remove things I liked and add things I hate. I hold off on letting mobile apps update because they almost always get worse, not better.

I don't understand this attitude on HN. Crypto is here to stay and not every coin is the same. BTC cracked $70,000.00 this month. I remember buying it at $6.00 in '09.

This wasn't a failure of investment, it was fraud.

"AUSA Nicolas Roos: Samuel Bankman-Fried stole $8 billion dollars. It was theft, from customers spread all over the world. It was a loss that impacted people significantly and caused damage. I want to address a few of the new victim letters"

"AUSA Roos: They lost their life savings. A man who lives in Portugal - the day before bankruptcy his daughter was born. He was marred by the ominous specter of financial instability and his daughter's future. Then there's the 23 year old from Morocco"

"AUSA Roos: He is the eldest son. He kept money on FTX not to loan it out to the defendant but for family's security. One more - a couple in the later stages of their life, late 60s, they invested with life savings. They were depressed, they had to go back to work"

The fact that twitter was usuable the whole time does.

X (Twitter) wasn't affected:

Downdetector is user reports, not automated monitoring. It's... semi-trustworthy.
