I feel bad for hijacking this post, but there is a fully community-driven renderfarm: https://www.sheepit-renderfarm.com/

It should be noted that the risk for blood clots from birth control is much higher, yet seems to be within the bounds of what is acceptable.

Quick google search:

> Out of every 10,000 women taking birth control pills, 3 to 9 of them will develop a blood clot.

Also, for scale:

> Out of every 10,000 women in the first 12 weeks after giving birth, 40 to 65 of them will develop a blood clot.

I'm not in the legal loop, but would it be beneficial to move to a different country or region? For example, the EU comes to mind. Would also give me peace of mind regarding my data.

Both the article's title and its contents line up with what you're saying. I'm not seeing any clickbait here, save for perhaps the HN title.

Yes, it is. But it's still a LOT better than silently ignoring it, which is the standard today.

Just want to comment on java: Just stay away from Oracle Java and use OpenJDK, which is GPL2'd (with asterisk). If you want stability, stick to LTS versions... I have no idea why people would use Oracle Java for new projects.

following that logic

- every browser that supports cookies comes with a tracking package

- electron comes with a tracking package

- every language interpreter, runtime or compiler is a tracking package.

- your OS can run tracking software, thus coming with a tracking package.

- Anyone carrying their phone comes with a tracking package

Hang on, did you just post something on the internet? Your HN account comes with a tracking package!

I wouldn't be surprised, "free gifts" is exactly what they've been given from the car industry for years.

[Speaking as non-high-risk person,] I'd trust scientists to define when a vaccine is safe. The pledge is a politic action, but is explicitly against politic influence.
