What type of holster would you recommend for CCW a G43 on someone pretty skinny. Don't like my current one so I end up not carrying as much as I would otherwise.

The discussion under that comment was predictably a flamewar but most of the discussion on the post was positive. That comment was quickly downvoted to the bottom and eventually flagged/removed. I don't think this particular discussion about HBD is indicative of anything interesting. Besides the general cynicism that permeates all discussion on that site, the only thing that really disturbs me about HN is when you see someone defend some wild take about society and technology $(insert your own personal dystopia here) you know that there is a solid chance that person is actively building the tools to make it real.

ActivityPub is barely an improvement over just hosting your own site like this one. Users still don't own their identities or content and are at the mercy of whatever instance they are married to and that will still be the case even if they adopt decentralized identities for users. Communities, posts, users, and interactions should be decoupled from individual instances while instances themselves can operate as curated views of the network and act as hubs propagating the subset of the network they are comfortable propagating. If all objects on the network are signed you can even propagate them over sneakernet. This is what atproto, scuttlebutt, farcaster, and others offer (all with their own tradeoffs).
I keep seeing this take but I came away from the book thinking SBF is 100% guilty and probably going to jail. The book is an empathetic portrait of Sam yet there are multiple scenes that show outright and deliberate fraud.The book is more of a character study of Sam and less a laundry list of crimes, but I think the book is more interesting that way.
