Just clicked and watched that. Amazing really. I can't figure out what I believe about his sanity.

Maybe, so long as it's optional.

> rampant insider trading by biotech employees

It also provides a big incentive for sabotage.

If you're the kind of person who has bought a dozen pairs of cheap Zenni's... the lens coating gets visibly damaged every time I've used hand soap on them. I now just blast them with hot water and wipe dry with a lens cloth. I don't know whether hand soap is a problem for more expensive brands, but it definitely is for Zenni's.

I (an American) had only heard the slang version in Holy Grail, and didn't know the slang meaning, and finally am now seeing your comment. Now to lookup the meaning of "manky..."

> foreign-made consumer routers can still be sold, but they are going to look at them with a fine-tooth comb, and they are going to use FCC approval as leverage to try to increase domestic manufacturing

That is not what's going to happen. What's going to happen is that anyone coughing up payola to the current executive in chief's people will get approved, and anyone that doesn't will remain blocked. This practice is currently widespread, in the form of tariffs.

In the rural areas that I've lived in, it's mostly about a strong desire to supplant science and history with religious ideas and principles.

Perhaps sxp used an LLM to do his calculation.

Counter productive to whom? Certainly not oil companies, nor the politicians that represent their interests?

During the rut, I've seen muleys here in Montana act absolutely bonkers. I once saw a young but large buck darting in and out of traffic, playing chicken with oncoming 50 mph vehicles, to impress a group of does. He'd run across the road right in front of a car, then pronk around proudly while the does stared at him.

> but no doubt other times it’s changing behavior in the app itself, OS decided to wipe cache, app has bad info, whatever

GaiaGPS, which advertises is offline capability, after an update (but not immediately after the update) recently required users to login to continue using the app. Which was impossible if you happened to be out of cell phone range 10 miles from a trailhead when this login popup happened. Incredibly bone-headed move, and dangerous for hikers that aren't smart enough to carry backup map sources. But Gaia has been trending this way for several years.

Do you mean 90%?

Now I want to see Doom in browser tabs.

NYT reporting has been trash for at least 10 years. Anyway Matt Levine, who has as good an opinion on this kind of thing as any columnist, sees it as mostly a technicality, and believes Onion can just submit their bid again. Of course, Elon also now has an outside interest, and can outbid anyone via proxy or otherwise.

Ignorance is bliss. My therapist hated it when I said it that way, but it's undeniably true.

This will be a disaster. But I'm sure he will enjoy broad support for it, so what do I know.

So that means lifetime, really. Pointless.

> "While not every investigated company committed the same privacy violations, the conclusion is clear: companies prioritized profits over privacy. "

Why wouldn't they? A capitalist shareholder system requires that they do exactly this, to whatever extent it does not impact sales.

It's on citizens to demand regulation, and yet in the US, a probable majority of voting citizens don't like regulation, and think that government is too large or too untrustworthy. Combine that with the control that corporations have over our politicians, and further combine that with low public understanding of the issue, and there is nothing realistic that can be done.

So I consider surveillance capitalism to be permanent in the US. Regardless of the fact that most people don't like being spied on and manipulated constantly. Perhaps some really large, really bad event could galvanize the public, but I doubt it.

... and that was the last time Ian was allowed to fly without a printed boarding pass with SSSS on it.

False

WebDBAN. WebRootFolderRemover. WebHardDriveMusic.

I lol'd at that one. No one would never make such a thing... Wait would they?!?!

Every time I see "Alice and Bob" I think of Alice and Bill's Lab of Doom and Pepsi Cola.

Right. Way too much coincidence. Jia Tan found out that it was about to become public and threw a Hail Mary. How did he find out?

I'm looking forward to the AI-generated content, which was modeled from mostly AI-generated content, which was modeled from mostly AI-generated content...

It's going to be shit trees dropping shit apples exposing the next generation of shit seeds into the soil to generate more shit trees. And every reddit or HN or etc account that does not require actual ID verification will actually be AI bots.

> Both viewers annoyingly fill your browser history every time you move around or change zoom levels.

So a lot of us that actually use this stuff love that we can copy that URL at any particular moment. Is there a way to do that and not show up in browser history?

Proton Mail's extremely bureaucratic operational deafness, and their glacial pace of product features and open-sourcing, would certainly lend support to that idea.

> several of MMIO addresses the attackers used to bypass the memory protections weren’t identified in any device tree documentation, which acts as a reference for engineers creating hardware or software for iPhones. Even after the researchers further scoured source codes, kernel images, and firmware, they were still unable to find any mention of the MMIO addresses

It sure quacks like a duck.

> "The source declined to identify the foreign governments involved in making the requests but described them as democracies allied to the United States"

Oh look! The US end-running constitutional protections again via 5+Eye proxy governments. Who could ever have guessed.
