Any captive audience like airplane passengers (who are, by federal law, confined to their seat at the discretion of the flight crew) are a vector for advertising. I don’t like having my attention sold.

Airlines started removing the screens in 2019. Southwest never had them [0]. Good riddance.

Do you want to be right or do you want to make money? OpenAI wants to make money, so they’ll choose the output that will do that.

Toyota broke ground in San Antonio more than two decades ago, in 2003, not one. Georgetown KY has been around since 1986 and Princeton IN since 1996. Toyota has been investing in “low cost of living” states for a very long time.

I am curious about what vehicles these will be for. When Toyota says “EVs” they often mean hybrids. The article makes this distinction, but Toyota didn’t in any statements.

The less you use the more you can sell.

Open source is a cause near to the hearts of many people on HN. So, yes.

Sadly there’s not a lot of money in defending open source.

It’s a shame Boox violates GPLv2.

I drive an SUV. Not in Paris. If this came up in my town I’d vote yes if they send the $ to the public transit.

There’s a pretty easy way to verify that churches are doing more good than harm: let them declare their good deeds on a tax form. Then all the landholding mega churches can put their money where their mouth is

> That's cool as a theory, but really isn't a commoditized market a more likely scenario in a capitalist global economy?

Zeihan’s thesis is that the global economy is no longer global because the US is no longer interested in being the world police patrolling the shipping lane. That is, “the end of globalization and Bretton Woods.”

I tried to get the advertised “10G” internet when it was first announced. Their website said it was available, so I called to have it set up. They “put in a ticket for [me]” and I didn’t hear back for a month. I called, they said they’d route it to the right department. A month passes. I called again. They said they can do it they just need a deposit. I agreed. They said they’d call me back. A month passes. I called again, they said they’d need to run a line to my house, but no one was available to do it that week so they’d put in a ticket. Also that it was going to cost more and they’d call me back. At this point I thought they were just bullshitting me, so I agreed. You guessed it, a month goes by. I called again, they said it would $20,000 to do the installation. I put myself on mute and laughed out loud. I agreed, and asked how I could write the check. And, wouldn’t you know it, Comcast admitted that my area wasn’t covered and that the website was inaccurate.

> If you're having AI attend a meeting for you, it probably wasn't that important. If you're having AI write your email, it probably wasn't that important.

I mean probably but I still have to do unimportant shit to live so might as well have the computer do it.

> Maybe 2-3 months to begin to reap the fruits of my labor but it was definitely worth it.

I’m glad you wrote this part. I think many people get discouraged because they see ads where people lose x lbs in y days. But, it’s important to remember that change is hard. You didn’t get to where you are in a few days and you won’t change yourself sustainably in a few days.

It depends on who you are trying to be anonymous from. I don’t spend much time trying to hide from the NSA. I care more about being targeted for advertisement or having my insurance premiums raised because of some naughty behavior. These are more impactful on my day to day life.

They don’t have to do native apps though. They just have to check “Allow iPad app.”

What products are children reviewing?

The social media platforms the bill would target include any site that tracks user activity, allows children to upload content or uses addictive features designed to cause compulsive use.

> For me, it's quite unusual seeing even the most popular comments on sites like MacRumors absolutely trashing and condemning Apple

MacRumors comments section is always filled with people bashing Apple.

So what is the bar for being a “great mobile Linux device” if it doesn’t include “reliably making phone calls”?

So what do you think they talked about? The weather?

I’m confused at the all comments here that suggest Apple didn’t vet these changes with the EU before announcing. Tim Cook met with the EU regulators at Apple Park last week. The changes that are being implemented have been in the works for literally years.

FTA:

The changes include more than 600 new APIs, expanded app analytics, functionality for alternative browser engines

I’m not sure I understand what Mark Dawson is supposed to have done. There’s only so many ways to say the thing he’s trying to say and fiction authors don’t cite other authors for turns of phrase.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone forced to use a QR code restaurant menu. As other comments have said, the wait staff is usually more than happy to grab a physical menu for you.

For me, though, I use it as an opportunity to ask the wait staff what they recommend.

Did they fire their llms too :(

“I’m pregnant, and I’m giving birth at home.”

This is how I know not to consider anything this person says.

I haven’t lived in Europe but my impression has always been that it’s a trade off. Less mobility, but less chance of being completely fucked by poverty.

In your experience, is this the case?

Is there a database of 737 incidents that is regularly updated and available to the public? It’s difficult for me to discern whether there are more 737 incidents or just more incidents reported in the news.
