> immigration freeze far more draconian than anything Trump ever proposed

as a swiss i am very happy that we didn't vote this through, but you're still being very hyperbolic. they wanted to put a cap on the population, which is bonkers, don't get me wrong.

however, no jail-like deportation centers, gestapo-like policeforce searching for immigrants and unlawfully putting them into trucks and many more things trump did and wants to do which my mind tries to forget.

there is an issue with people hating immigrants in our country, but please don't suggest that we're on US/Trump level, which to me seems more like what the germans started to do in the beginning* of you know what and who.

*comparing it to the beginning on purpose. not yet on total annihilation mode, but seeing as there's reports of hundreds of people going missing from Alligator Alcatraz, and minding the people who have been shot/killed, y'all are doing a good job of repeating history.

I shouldn't have clicked on his profile. Sorry for him for being raided by the police, but I didn't expect a "Privacy Activist" to be so focused on openly disliking muslims and migrants. I'm not logged in so maybe that says more about the twitter algo, but a lot of what I saw was posts and reposts hating on these groups of people.

remigration, monkey comparisons, generally some awful stuff. yikes. Just focus on privacy, dude.

my summarized thoughts when reading through this comment section and being swiss myself - have y'all ever heard of solar and wind[0]? i know that battery storage is a challenge, but hey, we constantly glaze ourselves as having great universities, lots of wealth, stability, precise engineering etc.

so let's put our strength into battery storage. invest in research towards it. research it ourselves. build out renewable energy. sponsor such things in foreign places we steal, ehrm, i mean, trade resources from.

this whole nuclear debate feels like a defeat. well, we tried, seems too hard, let's got back to ye' olden times.

i am also aware that we use french nuclear power as a backbone constantly and still boast as being so advanced and green, but that's also helping my point.

[0]or fusion, or just a different way to boil water without creating waste we have to bury in a mountain and think about how we want to make sure that nobody every accidentally opens the toxic caves in the next thousands of years.

> Moxie Marlinspike

come on man, what are you doing. must admit that i haven't followed this guy closely, but i thought with him being a part of Signal he would know better.

that actually makes me even more suspicious about Signal...

i 100% thought this article was going to be about cleaning up the idiocracy festival from the past weekend. didn't even question the fact that people from anthropic would be there to help, seemed like a fitting asskiss.

> a little further from there a McDonald's

in my experience there's like 3 of them on every one of these big streets, puzzling how many McD's exist.

> I first encountered it in the 1981 James Clavell novel Noble House

i'm always very impressed by people like you. i can't even fully recall the plot of the last book i've read, yet you can remember a single expression in a book you read whenever...

maybe repebble will pick it up again, sometime :) but i guess they're focused on more watches and a ring right now.

> woke

not sure how being directly responsible for illegal wood-cutting in eastern europe, worsening quality, higher prices, low wages and treating your employees like cattle is woke. were you bothered by them pink-washing themselves with rainbow flags?

in other words i'm always surprised about people choosing "wokeness" as criticism when there are things way more impactful and worse to actually care about.

> pay very little tax [...] rational and admirable

okay. i get the rational part, from a business perspective. still dislike that it's being done, but who am i. admirable? are you libertarian by any chance? (genuine question, i can't imagine how one can find tax evasion admirable if they're not wealthy or businessman-first-human-second themselves.)

meta - i think that's the first time i've seen a table in a hn comment, and i'm surprised/impressed! nice

are these pre-generated in a different tool with plain unicode and then just copy-pasted, or is it a built-in feature of hn?

> almost reminds me of one of the annoying Samsung fonts

you're thinking about 'Samsung Choco Cookie' :) only know this because someone i know has this set on their phone, and looking at their screen really irritates me for some reason.

> The receiver of the C&D should see a lawyer

yeah, just get a lawyer! not like that's an expensive thing to do as an individual, private, open-source dev, at the risk of being stuck in a legal dispute versus a corporation with deep(er) pockets.

he did however decide to use a font which gives off comic sans vibes, which is a very interesting choice for an otherwise very barebones setup :D

highly recommend watching the Benn Jordan video which interestingly enough dropped yesterday, "Robot Dogs Are A Security Nightmare"[0].

potential backdoors, weak security and other concerns.

a dev from ZH would've added a blockchain, mobile app and hosted it on an over-allocated kubernetes cluster. 97% uptime and you need a macbook pro so the website doesn't stutter.
