We all know most of these wax paper and plastic Starbucks cups aren’t really recycled…it’s always been wish-cycled anyway :)

People who don’t have to set foot on public sidewalks don’t mind them.

It’s great marketing to lead with how the n+1 model is so amazing that you can’t have it yet.

In the Firefox case, no difference. It doesn’t encrypt traffic from your device outside of Firefox but for whatever you do inside of Firefox it’s == VPN.

Getting ready for a trip to Japan, I spent an embarrassing amount of time troubleshooting failures to load a Suica (train/transit) NFC card on a phone before realizing it just doesn’t work a few hours a night Tokyo time.

With the looping TikTok-style shorts, YouTube seems to be more habit forming than ever.

The commenter doesn’t jump to Apache, the license does…if you scroll down it’s the Apache license not the AGPL.

Population is declining in many parts of the world while productivity is increasing. That doesn’t sound like a world of scarcity. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/business/china-population...

Looks like it means ‘Independent’ of the hypervisor used, I don’t think it’s a reference to it being an independent project. The QEMU post on this is a better read, I couldn’t tell from the GitHub what this was supposed to be. https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/igvm.html

Exactly, if you can’t afford the high upfront cost that you can stretch out over a longer period of time, you’re stuck paying more over the long term as the subscriptions get more expensive.

Apple and Google often store your other 99% of passwords and passkeys, so losing this is actually more important than losing the 99%. I take your point but saying 99% have reset services when the critical 1% may never be recoverable without posting to HN is an important point.

From the same site as the article:

Does a baby born in the US get citizenship?

Yes, under current law, almost every baby born in the United States or its territories automatically becomes a US citizen at birth, regardless of the parents’ immigration status, except for certain children of foreign diplomats or enemy forces in hostile occupation.

Very cool! Reminds me of the various 90s movie pretend hacker typing screensavers like Neo-HackerTyper.

Main caveat is that it’s verifiable (by them) but repeatable by others (in principle).

It’s definitely not a closed system unless the water from the waste water treatment plant is pumped back upstream of the source of the municipal water which is not how most of these work.

That would be correct if the question was ‘For a $2000 32-core desktop should we switch to lightweight cryptography’.

The question is should we switch from some ridiculously insecure crappy crypto on a $3 part to this better lightweight crypto implementation.

Yah, we probably should, it’s better than what we had right?

Hopefully this needs a smaller crew to operate than a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.
