Bluesky has already turned evil. Even though nobody’s on it, I use Mastodon



FYI your gift link isn’t actually a gift link

You're not allowed to "broadcast" (with a few exceptions) or play music with an Amateur licence.

I think the suggestion is to use AREDN for our backhaul from the station to the transmit site instead of 802.11ah. So it wouldn't be for broadcast per se, but I am still skeptical that is an allowed use for AREDN.

one-way communication is prohibited (with a few exceptions):

I'm not sure what's on the amateur radio exam these days, but when I got my Extra back in 1977 this was definitely covered.


This is what websites ran on back in 2001! It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to host a website on one, especially one that resembles a 2001-era site.

It's very disappointing to learn that ArsTechnical now uses AI slop to crank out its articles with no vetting or fact checking.


Windows Hello cameras are all "depth" cameras so a flat photo won't pass muster.

Two flat images, one for each of the sensor's camera

That’s not how they work. They emit structured light in the form of an array of infrared dots and they measure the time of flight to where the dots strike something.

Maybe new ones are different but that’s how they used to be. Little Kinect devices, really, for sensing faces instead of whole people.


You are exactly right. There's a description here:

These cameras are considered a "secure biometric" device and AFAIK nobody has faked them. I've flagged the poster who said "try two flat images"


You don't need to flag people who make a mistake.

>I've flagged the poster who said "try two flat images"

Hello there! It appears you are misapplying the flagging system. While the suggestion may be incorrect, it is not an "egregious comment".

In addition, your comment doesn't follow the Hacker News Guidelines:

Did you report your neighbours for skirting covid rules to?


Third Amendment issues come up every now and then. For example, legislators have tried to force airlines to provide special services for U.S. military at their own expense:

I'm not saying these men and women aren't deserving, but the taxpayers should foot the bill. A private property owner shouldn't be forced to. Fortunaely, these bills never get far.


Interesting. I haven't heard of many examples. Thanks. Seems the issues that do pop up tend to be loosely related to the original wording. It was focused on quartering in homes.

Though it does say "but in a manner to be prescribed by law." Wouldn't that mean that this bill would technically be viable?
