Think of it the other way around. Sex workers can finally go “legit” via OF and can stop fucking random people.

Apple is using Qualcomm modems today. Their own chip won’t be ready until 2023.

Although I think recent iphone designs don’t give the modem DMA so it’s still better than Android but I wouldn’t consider it secure.

This is already happening to phones. The baseband blobs are proprietary and most devices permit DMA.

Nobody really knows what the blobs do. They likely have paved the way for Stingrays and other devices.

I think you could be making assumptions about the target market / audience that differ from your own experience.

Since domain tasting became prohibited it’s common to have large portfolios and wait for someone else to drop a domain they don’t know how to monetize. These lists grow to the thousands pretty quickly, especially when you make data based decisions.

That said giving away your domain list / strategy to a third party is a risk in of itself.

Having worked in Mountain View in late 2000s I can say extravagant meals were extremely common. I went on corporate excursions to exotic destinations regularly with insane expense limits on top of bar or dinner events.

Many of us have had a wild ride in tech, I think those days will take another 30 years or more to come back if ever.

What apple is doing is fucked up. Full stop. Mental gymnastics are required to go beyond this premise.

Doubt there is manipulation as you suggest. Your assumptions of HN demographics are being challenged instead.

China has significant influence over AU - this isn’t surprising at all. China is a dumpster fire and so is any country that follows their lead.

Three star reviews are all you should read these days. It’s typically unbiased / unemotional and objective. 1 and 5 star reviews don’t tend to be reliable.

I support businesses with principles: what you cited is materially different. Subjective criteria for annoying people.

Political asylum in a foreign country until the unrest works itself out.

> especially if a lockout policy is set on the TPM.

what happens at lockout?

That’s Mozilla Foundation, not Mozilla Corporation. Corp has way more revenue.

Pelosi is vile. Martha Stewart got a hard slap on the wrist for lying, I believe Pelosi is guilty of much more serious crimes. She has zero integrity.

Great! I can’t wait for Slack to perish.

I absolutely love plastic straws and carry them in my car. Not everyone can “drink normally“.

I recall a paper (I can’t locate it) associating high levels of metabolic activity with disease.

For example if you have an incredibly physical job and put away 8000 calories daily but maintain a low BMI you suffer more cell damage. Similar for users of stimulant narcotics (legal or illegal).

Perhaps a reader here is familiar with this study.

Yes. It’s time effective. Unlike criminal psychology where you build comfort, rapport, etc over hours.

Great! Time to bring this ideological principles to the US.

Atrocities are committed but my sense is a photo mismatch won’t be the catalyst. I’d go further and say it happens less often then you might think.

Did you know CBP agents are trained to get you emotional, piss you off, and treat you like shit? It’s an effective and quick way to get someone on edge and maybe reveal something to be investigated. Nervous behavior. CBP officers go through therapy to deal with this.

Fight fire with fire. I would make it clear (respectfully) the situation is ridiculous and push for resolution in my favor.

I was once asked for a second photo ID at the border and I didn’t have one. The officer found this very suspicious. I did get kind of pissed and asked him what kind of idiot takes every photo id they have abroad. What if it’s lost or stolen? I was waived through.

> This is not really a personal complaint. My situation is still quite privileged.

It should be a personal complaint. You had precisely 0 privilege.

Happy to if you present a specific question.

While technically correct I would (reasonably) expect the captain to only exercise this in extreme circumstances. Asserting control in an ambiguous situation can be a difficult decision.

Comment makes me think real names are required for credibility. In these times posting as a moniker is more important than ever given the low bar for termination in today’s culture.

Lack of a name means absolutely nothing IMO.

I think devops will always be needed in some incarnation for companies that are subject to SOX and SoD.

I’m a very big bash scripter - to the disdain of many younger colleagues. They prefer golang, typescript, node. I find it hard to relate. I write bash scripts to automate batch commands I find myself running as part of my job. I like the terminal and posix utilities. Very flexible and easy to read, to me.

Monetization has brought out the worst in creators. The folks who did it for the joy are almost always the best to learn from. Alterior motives (including profit) are often a conflict of interest IMO.

Information is meant to be free.

There’s a reason why online content became so popular. Pre-programmed channels are chalk full of garbage, crammed with ads, inflated drama, and other behavior I believe to be a net negative for almost every viewer. Perhaps I’m showing my age and being presumptuous but folks I talk to about this all seem to agree.

YouTube has doubled down on censorship and they’ve effectively created a chilling effect for creators.

Without clear policies and transparency (their process appears to be highly subjective) creators are afraid to touch certain topics.

I enjoy learning about and seeing opposing ideas. I learn more in the end and the creators themselves benefit from researching and putting together a thesis or explanation on the subject at hand.

I came here to share an anecdote and never have I felt so unwelcome.

Decline to answer. Happy to address general questions, though.
