"Left" isn't a personal label (like it is in politics); In this context it refers to having useful tests earlier on the timeline (where time in the development workflow is on the X axis).

If is also hard to guarantee that, in a multi-tenant application, users will never see other users' data due to causes like mistakes AuthZ logic, caching gone awry, or other unpredictable situations that come up in distributed systems—yet even before the AI craze we were all happy to use these SaaS products anyway. Maybe this class of vulnerability is indeed harder to tame than most, but third-party software has never been without risks.

That thread was a mischaracterization and a misunderstanding. The toggle simply exposed UI entry points to AI integrations that users could then opt to use, with consent.

> Workers need to get to work, and there are tradeoffs.

I think the GP's point was that there _are_ tradeoffs, _and_ that we as a society ignore and avoid actually measuring and confronting the actual harms this way of life brings (possibly because they are actually standing and overwhelming to face; possibly because the problems seem depressingly intractable; possibly because of the effects of propaganda imposed on us our whole lives by big oil and the auto industry).

Google Maps generally shows my location inside of airport terminals pretty accurately, so it stands to reason that the network of iPhones in a terminal could plot a tracker's position pretty well. If someone has your bag and you know which direction they're moving, you could possibly catch up and get close enough to either spot it or (assuming you have an iPhone 11+) get a Ultra Wide Band fix to finish pinpointing it.

Bury the tracker somewhere too inconvenient to locate and remove quickly, and they'll count on not removing it until later (or they'll just ditch it once it starts beeping).

> nice Ubuntu 18.04 box you painstakingly setup just four years ago

It's 2024; 18.04 was over 6 years ago.

That would be nice. The next best thing is probably a regular (shut) window with an ERV/HRV somewhere.

The main one I'm away of is IotaWatt, which I've had running in my panel for the last few years without incident.

Or use squash merges.

Guess I'll just have to learn to love paying for two cellular data plans!

Seems great on my 6 (Firefox).

Clickbait describes the replacement of traditional news headlines (a summary of what happened, e.g. "Tulsa high school student defeats chess grandmaster at tournament") with mystery lead-ins designed to leave you wanting to know what thing happened (e.g. "What this high school student did will SHOCK you", or "This high school student just changed EVERYTHING about chess").

For the YouTube video in question, I guess it hinges on whether you recognize the device in the thumbnail you're looking at. If you do, then the title is giving away the lede and letting you have the takeaway if that's all you're looking for. If not, then you could argue that leaving out the product's name is clickbait-y.

It's pretty funny that the main failure mode I run into is unconsciously typing the translated version of a word rather than the foreign-language version my eyes are looking at (at least with all the similar-looking cognates). Cool idea!

Affordable tickets requires a way to combat scalping, which in turn butts up against freedom to resell/transfer tickets after purchase. It's a hard game to win whenever scarcity and economics are involved.

Pocket saves the address; I don't think they save the content.

The GP's statement doesn't at all suggest that they're looking at this property as an investment vehicle; The house could be ROI-neutral and its owner would still not like to see it burn down from uninspected, unsafe electrical work.

How would ending Medicare change the conditions in your quote?

A key difference is that most tech workers have the freedom to insert physical exercise/hobbies into their work day, work flexible hours, walk on a treadmill at a standing desk, etc. and someone in a physically laborious job makes no such choices. Not all tech workers avail themselves of this flexibility as much as they should, but that's on the individual.

We already know how technically successful those implementations will look in practice; Look at the "messaging only" free tiers in airline ISPs which are only able to distinguish permissible traffic from a selected few partners (mainly Apple/Meta) and likely requires cooperation in the form of special APIs and agreements between the companies.

I've shared this experience/opinion with folks nearly verbatim :) Especially after having seen what I took to be a very well-integrated transit system in Chicago, the fragmented and confusing Bay Area experience was quite different from what I expected.

Google Flights is getting to be unsafe to use due to the proliferation of fly-by-night "travel agencies" undercutting the legitimate sellers by a small amount and getting users sent to disreputable pages to collect passenger information and payment. I almost fell for one of these scams after naively assuming Google Flights _surely_ wouldn't partner with illegitimate sites for ticketing... but that's the way things are going now.

But it doesn't happen with every airlines, and when it _does_ happen my name appears that way in all of the electronic contexts too (e.g. when viewing the reservation online, in the email confirmation, etc.).

I don't even have spaces or punctuation in my names, but certain US airlines will inexplicably truncate my middle name in half and append it onto my first name, so my boarding pass ends up with "LAST FIRSTMID" printed on it. Fortunately I've never been stopped for it; I'm sure they see it all the time.

Customers are not in a position to judge how much of a threat this might pose to their actual safety.

Since we're all sharing, I've been using this recently to replace Teoria in an old project of mine (a simple PWA for Duolingo-style sight reading and ear training practice, with MIDI support):

That doesn't answer the question I asked regarding the specific claim that maintenance standards have fallen.

For example, it's possible maintenance standards never changed and the old bridges simply got older and more exposed to risk as the years went on.

Rulings on the constitutionality (or lack thereof) of laws are issued by a body of people which changes over time, and have been known to be overturned or updated.

> Whereas in reality maintenance standard in the west have fallen

In the context of this incident, are you saying that we _previously_ used to go around retrofitting our 50-year-old bridges with more modern defenses, and then at some point since then we stopped doing this? Obviously if we're talking about new construction, it stands to reason that standards have only _increased_, but this was an old bridge built to old standards. So which standards have "fallen" to result in this disaster specifically?

This statement has a track record for being false the vast majority of the time, but okay.

Where did they say it was a high-rise?
