You could even mail it to somebody and when they open the mail, BAM. Or it could be included in the glue of business reply mail. Or wiped on your doorknob.


People who deface art in museums should have their citizenship stripped and be banished for life, at a bare minimum. The JUST STOP OIL billionaire woman's a heavy investor in the Chinese lithium sector.


> People who deface art ...

No art was defaced.

A glass case was smeared with water rinsable paint.

You wouldn't know it from the hysterics from mainstream media, the gallery Director, or the Judge, but absolutely no damage was done to Degas' piece. This was intentionally harmless.

> The JUST STOP OIL billionaire woman's a heavy investor in the Chinese lithium sector.

This wasn't a Just Stop Oil thing. It was the 'Declare Emergency' group. Your statement is a complete non sequitur.

Let's have the war, fossil fuel, polluters and banking criminals "stripped of citizenship and banished for life" before throwing fits about those who "deface art" by putting easily washable paint on their cases. Yaknow? Priorities.

Personally, I would rather lose every Degas, Picasso, Modigliani, Botticelli, Rodin, and Van Gogh piece; than keep losing species at the rate we are.

Fossil fuels, the military, polluters and big agri are committing far, far far worse crimes than damaging art, and our justice system protects them. Our politicians need them to win elections. Our media run cover for their crimes. Our regulators seem to be mostly former employees. Our own taxes subsidize them to an absurd degree.

If we only knew what we've already lost, we'd do worse than banish these guys..


Boeing's on military welfare, like many companies. It has no need to actually produce civilian planes or make profits any more. So why not bump off whistleblowers? Anyway the era of air travel for the masses is coming to a close if you look at all the different plans being hatched to roll up environmental fees into flying which are designed to be unaffordable for ordinary people.


No, not at all. Nothing with the system integration Hypercard had on the Mac and IIgs. It's pretty shitty that they took Hypercard and BASIC from the people. But we wouldn't have all these trillion dollar software companies these days if the user-developer had remained the core of computing.


What is it? Cloudflare's "protection" has blocked me from being able to see half the Internet lately.

Can you link these? This kind of comment can mean anything from "6 years ago I was constantly commenting against something they were doing and it kinda happened twice with some employees that are HN regulars and had it in their bios but didn't feel the need to disclose in the first message" to "It's a regular occurrence even despite the number of threads about Cloudflare here and they are often done with freshly created company accounts" or anything in-between. This makes it hard for one to judge for themselves how much of a real issue this has been vs a personal grudge someone might hold against the company.

Disclaimer: I don't have a damn thing to do with Cloudflare :).


Is that...bad? You don't make it sound unreasonable.


If I was going to argue/debate positively for my employer I’d say that up front


Do you work for Cloudflare?


A Cloudflare employee has got to tell you if they are a Cloudflare employee


Not the undercover-kind


Nope. I'm in warehouse automation.


Your same uncle who survived Sandy Hook and 911?

I see bots still posting this comment on every platform when optical media comes up. Disc rot is extremely rare and only happens with discs which had manufacturing defects. I have HUNDREDS of Laserdiscs and HUNDREDS more CDs. The only ones which rotted is Alien, which had a known manufacturing defect.


GIDF right on cue, sir.


Tough beans, wontfix


At least now it got re-opened.


Sandy Bridge = never obsolete.


Linux is dead lol.
