It must be nerve wracking to live in your shoes day to day. This is, probably due to flying through an airport like JFK. I'm also not sure what you mean by heavily armed agents. Most MPs at airports just have pistols on them.

>ribbon connector pieces

ribbon connector like ribbon cables used in IDE/PATA drives? Wild, are they known for breaking down like that?

Interesting that they are a YC Company. Does yC do any ethics vetting of saying "No, let's stop fascism before it spreads?"

They want the good, bad and ugly to flock to them as it were and vaporize them so Axon and Motorola Solutions can just pick up right where they left off. And people will just ignore or forget it because it's not the same company.

sweet list/yay!

What do people mean by scrabble letter brands? and I assume TB on the bottom there is just short for Thunderbolt?

When your follower/following count is small and you're getting to know people and build a community of people you otherwise wouldn't meet IRL, it can be a great thing. When you start getting inundated with too much information when you have 10K + followers, it can be overwhelming and you lose the signal within the noise and find that it may start affecting other parts of life. I suppose each person is different, but that burned me out and made me uninterested and I burned it all down. I found I was losing sleep checking my phone and getting unusually addicted to stupid things.

how is anyone else at fault here? If someone is ignorant of the capabilities and controls afforded to them for expensive, high ticket, important items such as vehicles ... they don't really have anyone else to blame except them, and perhaps oversight from the designer or vendor of the product.

I think you meant that translation is, case in point, based on inference. The person doing the translating is inferring, based on context, intent and meaning and imparting that on what their output is. That's generally not desired from a taxonomy perspective.

I use my scaler before brushing and I use it for getting off certain things that bother me. It beats going to the dentist for some chronic issues I may deal with. I would say it should be used in conjunction with a waterpik as it would be far too abrasive/damaging toward the gums, for sure.

healthy teeth are not the same as healthy gums, or oral health as a whole.

an ultrasonic scaler is far better at removing plaque and build up than a waterpik. I find that a waterpik is only really best at areas where there is high crowding, or hard to reach areas behind molars, etc.

Mac only? Wild.

Do people not bother with style-output and custom definitions? Wild.

The admins have access to your data and unless things have changed, that isn't monitored. They also bend to NSLs like any other provider. What they charge vs what things cost hurts.

I'm familiar with drug interaction monographs and enjoy reading them. And I am somewhat comfortable with the organ/body functional pathways (I think that's what it's called) -- where can someone view/look at different pathways of the body as a resource?

This has nothing to do with generating harmful content and everything to do with fascist surveillance. This is an OS level functionality that get utilized before AI even existed.

What? Removing 0-15 mph is to remove places where they camp or loiter with the engine on either for tickets, naps, or other purposes.

It sort of helps cancel it out at the time if I'm listening and on a computer. But as soon as that ends, the ringing continues.

I can count on one hand the nights I've had restful sleep, and one of those was after got home recovering from a surgery. Who knows.

This page has so many dang scripts and the iframe doesn't do it any favors. I've allowed everything and it still doesn't load. There are far too few specialists that work on tinnitus and so many dental and ENT specialists choose to not take it seriously enough.

I have high pitched 7k hz bi-lateral ringing, 24x7. I've had it my whole life. I am convinced part of it is due to being born very premature (I was 1 lb 11 1/2 ounces). I believe it may be cervical and/or neurological (vascular, specifically).

It's so frustrating because nothing has happened. Masking only does so much. Sitting around reading a book, or trying to sleep is almost impossible.

I've been wanting to make a documentary style video on this diagnosis/issue, because a more people suffer like this than people realize. One medical professional that was helping me passed away a few years ago and that still eats away at me, because he really cared that he wasn't able to help me and it ate away at him. I still miss him.

Seems like spam from this creator since there are two things on the front page?

so they broke into your server?

given that DOGE took a chainsaw to legitimate medical research that was working on saving lives and conditions for people who have no other options ... no, they were beyond heavy handed. They were out for blood using DEI as a smokescreen. Stop. This crap isn't welcome in the industry.

I'm curious as to why that book is so god damn expensive.

the average user? probably. but in a corporate environment or a power user's personal setup? probably not anywhere near as painful, and holding on to slightly older OSes because the quality and kinks were figured out a long time ago. On Windows 11, right clicking and bringing up the context menu is painfully slow. On Windows 7/10, it's pretty quick and simplified. It has no 'change for change sake' as part of it.

Recently started working at an org that is a very heavy Google only shop that ditched Microsoft. There are some things you just get used to. Moving away from Outlook and trying to utilize Gmail in a corporate environment is a pain that I have a hard time articulating. It just isn't the same and the ability to have mail in it's own window that I can easily open messages in, is miles better.

The average consumer? Probably living in a world of pain for all we know.

What do they do, _exactly_? Because in the real world out of YC, the rest of us can barely top $200,000 a year unless we move into management or Executive level roles.

I'm not sure what stops some of these industries from essentially being more nationalist like China, but more centrist as a company like Palantir. If these risks are as big as you claim, a centralized authority should reverse engineer the things that work done in China or where-ever and use open source/build a better software stack that supplants what's out on the market currently.

Curious seeing as he's in Ukranian, is there also a mindset/distrust of U.S. centric products/services and wanting to feel safe posting updates of whatever it is someone may be doing? Cool!

I was always under the impression Moxie who created Signal was well accepted in Information Security circles. But you bring up a good posit that running a service probably isn't cheap behind the scenes. Given that Signal is a unique identifier for anyone who uses it, maybe they have funding behind the scenes from Governments.

- Telegram uses usernames instead of phone numbers by default, which is good if you're using it as an IRC replacement instead of an SMS replacement.

What? When you register, I'm pretty sure it requires putting in a phone number that preferably isn't a VoIP line and not a username. It's been that way any time I've tried to use the service on mobile.

Scheduled messages have been a thing for a long time on Signal, but they seem to be only on mobile, which is wild to me.

I would posit that Signal is more for individual to individual. I'm seeing in these comments that telegram is clearly a lot more community centric, ala Discord lite than I realized.

I can't say that I've ever seen genuine uses like this that you mention unless it's a 'community' for adult content or sketchy content. Is this that common?
