cdolan··on Glassdoor not so anonymous
Glassdoor has systematically taken down negative reviews for companies for years. I can’t say I love any of the “board” sites who engage in this type of product, and that includes Yelp, Google Places, etc
cdolan··on I used a dumb phone for 6 months. here’s what I learned
Any TL;DR for us low bandwidth folks?
cdolan··on Oh Shit, Git
The best part is the header alert - if you don’t like the profanity, check out dangitgit.com!
cdolan··on Why am I no longer qualified to be a Brex customer?
How long until Ramp pulls the plug in similar fashion?
cdolan··on Show HN: Recut automatically removes silence from videos – built with Tauri
This is awesome! I need to help make some training videos in our company and this will help.

Coolest thing you’ve got is “remind me about this when I’m back at my computer”.

Genius CTA

cdolan··on Hoppscotch: Open-source alternative to Postman
If you create a feature to host a Docs page in the future, please improve on Postman's.

Theirs lacks key features and introduces bad ones:

1. Locks you into their Collections datamodel. Results in the API being maintained outside OpenAPI generated files because your annotations can't be easily merged with new endpoints. 2. Unable to password protect the API docs, even with a basic password. 3. Unless this changed recently, there is no way to re-order the endpoints or the responses without manually removing and re-adding them! Absurd.

cdolan··on RegExr: Learn, Build and Test Regex
I don't get a warning to leave the site unless I've input data into the form. I find that to be a valuable feature and not a nag.
cdolan··on Covid-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by Vaccination Status and Previous Diagnosis
Where does it say the vaccine has a measurable effect upon stopping transmission?

Recent news would say the exact opposite statement

cdolan··on In 2019 40% of San Francisco traffic fatalities are from left turns
Tesla FSD 10.X will increase this number. The left turns I have seen the system try to take on Youtube are downright terrifying.
cdolan··on YouTube takes down independent court livestreams
For how long will we excuse this kind of activity with "oops automation"?
cdolan··on $1M bounty for details on Tether’s backing
They were right about Nikola and Lordstown Motors.

I’m a Hinden-believer I suppose

cdolan··on [dead]
Is there any study or research on punitive damages and how jury's tend to award them across modern history?
cdolan··on YouTube blocks all anti-vaccine content
Will pro-choice (aka anti-mandate) content, such as the NBA players speaking their minds when asked by the press, considered anti-vaccine? Will be curious to see where that line falls.
cdolan··on SR-72 ‘Son Of Blackbird’
X * 2 = (Mach) 7

That’s the formula expressed by the article, is it not?

cdolan··on SR-72 ‘Son Of Blackbird’
So in theory, could be Mach 4-6 already in an SR-71?
cdolan··on SR-72 ‘Son Of Blackbird’
I thought the true top speed of the SR-71 is either highly classified or truly “unknown”.

How does the article justify saying the 72 will be roughly 2x the speed of the 71?

cdolan··on Banks beware, Amazon and Walmart are cracking the code for finance
GE doesn’t own GE capital any longer. Turned out to be a crazy situation where they needed the cash flow but the assets were messed up because of valuations and insurance problems.
cdolan··on PaddleOCR: Lightweight, 80 Langauge OCR
Interesting, Azure and AWS do not support this
cdolan··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
Thank you
cdolan··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
> I am concerned with the lack of reporting thereof, and additionally the active censorship of those who speak of any issues.

Agreed. And unfortunately the last 18-24 months seem to indicate that things labeled conspiracy theories have a habit of becoming at the very least "plausible" or outright "true" (lab leak theory being perhaps the largest example).

cdolan··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
Perhaps both?
cdolan··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
Where is this information able to be confirmed?
cdolan··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
What if you do have a positive test in your history?
cdolan··on PaddleOCR: Lightweight, 80 Langauge OCR
Would love to find a solution that can handle telling me the text is bold/italic. If you or anyone else knows of one please share!
cdolan··on Ramp raises $300M
I'll bite - how did they save you a bunch of time in the first week? And how much time are we talking?
cdolan··on Sydney Residents Will Now Have to Register Their Single Bubble Partner’s Name
“You are not permitted to go to property that you own legally own within our jurisdiction, without prior approval from the central agency.”

Meanwhile, ‘getting away’ from people is one of the best options available?

What timeline am I in? Can I press the reset button?

cdolan··on The deceptive PR behind Apple’s “expanded protections for children”
Wait a second.

You’re telling me that you believe a low-wage worker reviewing the worst of the worst human depravity, is going to stand up on a soap box and defend another nameless and faceless denizen of the Earth, when the crux of the argument is basically this:

“Yeah I know the person tripped the safety threshold for CSAM, but these images aren’t that bad!”

It’s not reasonable to trust the human reviewer. They put themselves at risk by going against the automated system. I’d bet 95% of people in this circumstance would pass the buck to the FBI to make their determination, at which point “your” life is already ruined.

cdolan··on An Open Letter Against Apple's Privacy-Invasive Content Scanning Technology
Have you not been reading about the App Store review discrepancies for the last decade??
cdolan··on Apple plans to scan US iPhones for child abuse imagery
I don't think society can function without harsh penalties for child abuse, and I think thats a widely held belief everyone agrees with.

I do think your comment is conflicting though. The fuzziness of 'is this abuse' is real because collisions can occur, mass surveillance never goes in reverse, etc.

cdolan··on The Push for a “PBS for the Internet”
Maybe, but two things: - I follow both channels pretty closely and I don't know what you are talking about. So it must not be working that well? - It sounds like they are doing this nebula/curiositystream thing themselves. If someone/the government funded them or just gave them control over a program I bet they would have an even bigger impact.
