I'm the owner of a 2025 Dacia Jogger. It has a physical button to disable all warnings and alarms, which I really appreciate, but I still need to press that button twice (with ~1s of delay between pushes) to disable the…

So let's trust all future Governments to never remove the 6-month law? Once the whole technical system is implemented, it will be trivial to remove that bureaucratic limitation, and somehow it will be sold as better…
In your proposed scheme, it is in the best interest of web sites to store the certificates from users indefinitely, since it's the only evidence they have that prove that their users are not minors. Since authorities…
Good call on censoring yourself preemptively, otherwise HN could demonetize your comment
It is a red flag that in the "SimpleX Roadmap to Free Internet" section they refer to 2024 as "Now" and they explain their expansion plans for 2025 as something in the future. It is weird that this is in the home page…
Mandatory package screenings to detect explosives? I don't know if that's technically feasible at scale, or if that's already implemented (and I'd prefer not to ask that kind of question to Google/ChatGPT)
Like sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free food, where the lack of something is sold as something positive. I'd love to buy an ad-free, subscription-free, tracking-free, touchscreen-free car.
Out of work I wouldn't mind, but I spend 8h/day there and I am forced to work with these people, so I'd prefer to keep the drama out so that I can focus on solving problems. The other person already demonstrated a lack…
If I tell someone literally "What value do you have if you're just acting as a pipe to the AI?", I'm pretty sure my manager will schedule a quick 1:1 to ask me why I'm telling peers that they have no value.
This article's proposal for stopping sloppypasta is to convince the people who does it to stop doing it, but I am more interested on what someone who receives sloppypasta can do. How do I tell my colleagues to stop…
Sorry, I clearly misunderstood you, I thought you were defending those laws. I am aware that uneducated children will become everyone's problem sooner or later, but my argument is that, at the end of the day, in…
Today's electorate is unfit. Is it also because they had TikTok when they were children? Or are they unfit because they consumed fake-news and QAnon-like content as adults? If it's the latter, how is age verification…
If the solution consists on me and my children sacrificing our privacy then I'm sorry, but I don't care about other people's children getting groomed. Your child, your responsibility, prepare him better for the world or…
Since Google Search already includes an AI summary, your minimally viable "LLM" can be just an HTTP GET call
In this case I think the opponents made a huge mistake by calling themselves Department of War, and it's something that can be exploited. Department of Defense was the actual lie, the newspeak term. They were not really…
You know the non-governmental organization "Save the Children"? Maybe it's time to create a new one called "Fuck the Children" to defend people from these laws designed to mine privacy under the pretense of protecting…

If companies are required to verify age, then it's in their best interest to store all tokens, just in case they are ever accused of not verifying it. The Swiss E-ID system stores people identifiers and token status…
In your system, can companies verify age offline, or do they need to send a token to the Government's authority to verify it (letting the Government identify and track users)? Switzerland is working on a system that…
Sherlock Holmes is public domain and there are still shows being announced

Age verification for alcohol/tobacco doesn't require full identification nor keeps any records that can be later used for tracking people for other perverse purposes. Also, the fact that gov and companies are already…
