Plus the main point of this code is to have people look at it, the function is secondary to being an easter egg.

Cynically, to make a documentary and get articles written. None of the rules they mention seem that extreme, they're just wording it in an unusual way.

Aren't shoe companies notoriously scummy in regards to human rights? Nike has quite a lengthy controversies section on Wikipedia, and they're where a lot of his money came from.

>We can't really export anything to those "rogue states" anyway

Sure, but there are additional laws regarding cryptography, even in publicly available software.

"Rogue states" is a legal designation, we can both dislike it as much as we want but I doubt the US will change it's view

If I remember, it's still illegal to export to "rogue states," Iran and North Korea being the major two, and terrorist organizations. But I don't think anybody has been charged for it and there's reason to suspect it wouldn't hold up given the pgp ruling.

That was not clear to me. Dunno why people are making such a big deal out of "if you want more info, go here."

There's a picture of a box with a bunch of playing cards on top of it, then a picture of a building that has one. I found it insufficient and thought others might too.

As I found the article did a poor job of demonstrating what a swift brick is, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_brick

Huh? IA not doing what they claim seems fairly important to their point.

>about the paywall workarounds that are frequent on HN—I was genuinely shocked to learn they hadn’t heard about it.

Is the Internet Archive regularly used as a paywall workaround? Generally it's archive.is, which has no connection to the IA.

It also makes them appear larger, there's so much in there the bun can't contain it all.

The router ban affects routers made in foreign countries, Netgear's headquarters should be irrelevant. The author's previous article spells this out better https://www.theverge.com/tech/899906/fcc-router-ban-march-20...

Does "report not spam" do anything? A local business will send me a receipt from a gmail address, and every time it's marked as spam despite it telling me future mail from this address will not be tagged as spam.

If you found a dog on the street then you probably don't have any actual dog food. A hot dog seems like one of the best options in an average fridge.

So something like getting Phil Spector to produce their record?

>What am I supposed to do? Spend a few hours to try each one and find the best for my 13 years old i5 with a Nvidia gt440 that's used 3 hours per month?

The performance difference will be minimal. It's an aesthetic choice, pick the one you like the look of or give a few of them a try.

It's like cars. Some people have extreme opinions on matters, some would be fine picking almost any car, and most test drive a few before picking their favorite.

Minnesota did have home ice cream and other frozen food delivery until Schwan's finally shut down a few years ago. Usually men, but they did tend to be chatty from my experience.

So there is a US equivalent, but it would have been interesting to read about them too.

We're these only used in Sweden? I know I've seen some of them before, but I'm not sure if it's from decades on the internet or my school having a specific thirty year old edition of The Hobbit.

I seem to recall thinking Gollum was big, but honestly could be remembering the Shelov scene. It was long time ago.
