bradleyankrom··on Super Intelligence
Not sure how it looks on desktop, but on my phone those background animations are brutal for usability.

Got it, thanks for the follow up.
bradleyankrom··on ICE Planning $100M 'Nightmare' Domestic Spy Program
Lots of people have spoken out... some have even died while speaking out.

I did this last night and have not received an email or a book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
bradleyankrom··on Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a green card program
The AP blurb[0] has different quotes and includes an accusation of fraud that's missing from the Bloomberg article.

> Vance said Thursday, “If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants.” Vance spoke in a White House news conference announcing the decision.

bradleyankrom··on Giving up on smart rings
Exactly why I abandoned my Oura ring. I stopped wearing it for a couple of years, and when I went back, it wouldn't work without a cloud account/sync.
bradleyankrom··on LG TVs caught spying even when offline or on standby
FWIW, I've never seen that come up on the five or six TCLs that I've owned over the last decade. I have AppleTVs connected to all of them and never connect them to the internet. So far, so good.
bradleyankrom··on LinkedIn CringeBot 3000
Hm, that is strange. I'm in the US, but I would expect an export for an EU user to deliver more, if they differ at all.
bradleyankrom··on LinkedIn CringeBot 3000
I think you can get your posts out as part of a data export, if you request one. I just did that and I can see my (very few) posts in the Shares csv.
bradleyankrom··on LinkedIn Feed Blocker
It's more or less expected that candidates have one, at least in tech/eng jobs I've looked at. For some, the field to enter your profile URL is required in the form.
bradleyankrom··on I’m leaving OpenAI to build telepathy
I don't know about satanic, but there are definitely some cult-y, brainwashed-y vibes.

This looks like blogspam
bradleyankrom··on Worse on Purpose – How Corporate Greed Killed Product Quality
And you have to keep up with which brands have been private equitied, e.g., Pyrex.
bradleyankrom··on Police searched Twin Cities Flock cameras during ICE surge
Original title: "Police searched Twin Cities license plate cameras for immigration enforcement during ICE surge"
bradleyankrom··on EY Canada published a cybersecurity report and most citations were hallucinated
Like the fake food they make for commercials. Looks great on TV.
bradleyankrom··on Using Kagi Search with Low Vision
Not promising it would work, but I would email support and ask to have the trial reset for your account. Companies are usually cool to restart trials if you ask.

You're spamming, man
bradleyankrom··on Tim Cook's Impeccable Timing
> Yes they were able to uphold high standards and get preferential production and pricing but what else?

Those seem like pretty significant wins for Cook, unless I am underestimating the difficulty of doing so. Perhaps with the volume or sheer money involved, it's not as hard as it sounds?

LinkedIn does this and it is annoying
bradleyankrom··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
Those don't really add to your argument. The Kashmir issue sounds like a mistake that Al Jazeera tried to address. The Factually analysis indicates that Al Jazeera is generally reliable for news, with caution advised for coverage of highly-political events and editorials, which I think is typical of any media organization.
bradleyankrom··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
Yeah, I'm really just looking for less Americanized coverage from the region. Al Jazeera is fine, I'm glad to hear any other recommendations for sources. (thanks for FT)
bradleyankrom··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
No? Sources? It's possible that Qatar's government has some editorial control over the Arabic content, but my understanding is that the English operations are separate.
bradleyankrom··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
I've found Al Jazeera's (English) coverage of the region to be informative. YMMV.
bradleyankrom··on US cities are axing Flock Safety surveillance technology
I saw the same thing in a Home Depot parking lot yesterday. I guess I'm glad there's some sort of notice about it, even if its intent is more, I dunno, branding? It took me a while to figure out what all the solar panel + camera on a post installations were as they popped up around my town. I even pulled over to inspect the hardware for signs of ownership and didn't find anything.
bradleyankrom··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
That is certainly a favorable interpretation of events. I don't buy it. I think there's more evidence that he's actually an erratic, compulsive liar than some master strategist. What great deals has he secured for the US?
bradleyankrom··on The back story behind the first "$1.8B" dollar "AI Company"
Yeah, it sounds like they didn't even try to do things "the right way," whatever that is. You don't accidentally create hundreds of fake Facebook profiles, you don't accidentally create deepfakes for your marketing materials. The most charitable read I can give is that they just have faulty scruples. But it's hard to find the seed of a good idea that just went off the rails.
