I can't wait for more states to adopt school vouchers.

OP probably wants site to be to send notifications even though Firefox’s research on the topic has shown that they are 99+ percent spam. I find it very annoying when I visit a site and there's an annoying pop-up asking for notifications (even though chrome and firefox block most automatically). The Mozilla study showed that sites already try and show 100s of billion notifications to users a year "Notification prompts are very unpopular. On Release, about 99% of notification prompts go unaccepted, with 48% being actively denied by the user." https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/11/04/restricti... I also would bet that most acceptance clicks by users were accidental.

They also provide equity in the company. Most people dont work in startups for instantaneous salary.

fakename11 | 4 years ago | on: LA pays $2600 per homeless tent, per month

Comparing this to the cost of rent is very fair. Other states don't pay these exorbitant costs and are fine.

Are you seriously describing this as a "bad accident"?

How does someone talking tell you if they can actually do basic programming... I think you would be surprised at the number of people that apply for software engineering jobs but barely know how to program.

fakename11 | 4 years ago | on: Regulators urge safety recall of Peloton treadmill after child dies

Most houses are sold with outlets that can be extremely dangerous for kids. Do we need more regulation for this too?

fakename11 | 5 years ago | on: Fairphone suggests Qualcomm is the biggest barrier to long-term Android support

It's somewhat pragmatic for the Linux developers. Support a stable kernel API probably wouldn't be that expensive. It's clearly a political decision against writing close source code that does anything low level.

They should throw the "Simple Example" through a code formatter. Would look more professional. Other than that, this is a nice project, congrats to the author.

I bet these "expired" security.txts will become more common than unexpired ones in the near future. Updating a date every year sounds annoying.

Follow better people? (Or at least don't follow their "personal" accounts)

fakename11 | 5 years ago | on: Metakovan, the mystery Beeple art buyer, and his NFT/DeFi scheme

Exactly, also there was this bank that went bankrupt in the 1800s and everyone lost their money too!!!!! You can't trust the system!

fakename11 | 5 years ago | on: California bill would decriminalize psychedelics

Sorry, but construction is a serious job. I don't want people that are high building bridges and homes.

Water is also naturally occurring in many food items. That didn't make it harmless - you can die from too much.

Why is this the top article on hackewnews without any comments?

fakename11 | 5 years ago | on: Cyberpunk 2077 saves will become corrupted if they reach 8mb in size

Pretty sure this is just an anecdote. Not a real limit as others have reported opening larger save files/
