lzaaz··on SBF Arrested by Bahamian Authorities
Poor guy didn't read about Adam and Eve.
lzaaz··on Perhaps it is a bad thing that the leading AI companies cannot control their AIs
How does that correlate with an average, current IQ of 85?
lzaaz··on The silent struggles of workers with ADHD
No, what I'm saying is that the article makes it sound like a boss will fire you for being oblivious about your diagnosis and your illness. Instead, I think that the job needs to be done, and if you aren't able to for whatever the reason is the boss is going to have to find a replacement for you.

>If I struggle with timeliness, you’re going to think I don’t care about my job. If I forget something, you might just conclude I’m dumb.

If you struggle with timeliness or forget about things frequently I don't care what the reason is, you are out anyway. If I needed things done on time, it wouldn't matter to me if you were late frequently because you are careless or because you have an illness.

lzaaz··on Substack is (not) now powered by Ghost
>Their visual look hasn't changed at all since their inception.

I don't like that you are suggesting that the visual look must change. Nothing is wrong with leaving things the way they are.

>They don't have discoverability.

What does this mean? Suggested posts and authors, which are nothing but thinly-veiled ads so you stay in the page? Good that they don't have those.

lzaaz··on Copyright denied because the model’s pose is not unique
It would sound plausible if you are American I guess.
lzaaz··on EU-wide maximum limit of €10K for cash payments
It's impossible to make people vote to give themselves less money.
lzaaz··on EU-wide maximum limit of €10K for cash payments
That's right, I don't.

Good thing about cars and houses is that you can pay some amount officially and then pay more money under the table.

lzaaz··on EU-wide maximum limit of €10K for cash payments
A vehicle, a house...
lzaaz··on World Cup Daily, Day 25
Another one for the pile of "died suddenly"
lzaaz··on This to That
I can't believe that a website that is practically static goes down like this.
lzaaz··on Pausing Manifest V2 phase-out changes
Quite literally yes. It would've killed GreaseMonkey userscripts and such
lzaaz··on The Tesla Semi cab from the practical POV of someone who drives trucks
>I don't want to go to a gas station every week.

But... you'd rather charge every time you use it? And what if you run out of energy in the middle of a trip?

>I don't want to have to take my car in for tune-ups every year.

What makes you think that electric cars don't need tune-ups?

lzaaz··on The Tesla Semi cab from the practical POV of someone who drives trucks
We shouldn't switch to battery-powered vehicles until they can replace our current ICE vehicles.
lzaaz··on Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe
I think you misunderstood my answer. Using my analogy, this is like forcing the supermarket to give me a choice: pay for groceries or take them for free. This means the supermarket is forced to close because most people will take them for free.
lzaaz··on Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe
That's precisely what I'm saying. I am an adult, and if I want to pay for a service with MY data, I should be able to consent to that. I can't, so this regulation doesn't respect me and my rights.
lzaaz··on Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe
>EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms.

In the context of apps like Facebook or Instagram, which make money by tracking us to show us personalised ads, this is like saying that it is illegal for supermarkets to charge us for groceries, even if customers wanted to pay for them. What happens next? The supermarket closes, evidently. And this is a win for whom? Not the supermarket, and not the clients. Everybody loses.

lzaaz··on Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe
If they can't show good ads in Europe, I assume that they will lose money and eventually have to close down here.

I think that users have a right to know what happens to their data. But this is not a consent or information screen, this is the end of it. Europe tells us they do this for our own good, so we can own our data, but then they make it illegal for us to exchange our data for someone's service. Basically they think they know better than us what to do with our data: it is the opposite of freedom.

Hopefully this will teach the users to vote better. Oh wait, we can't elect EU officials directly.

lzaaz··on Ask HN: How to Deal with Uneducated Contractors?
When it becomes clear to him that you won't pay the 50% increase, he'll probably offer to give you the code for the price you agreed on before. Don't fall in that trap because if you pay first he won't give you the code until you pay for the increase as well.
lzaaz··on Incident affecting Google Ad Manager
I have a "clean" (no addons at all) Chrome profile for web development purposes.
lzaaz··on Ask HN: Developer abused “sign in with GitHub”?
And the day the "master" account gets suspended or compromised you lose access to 10 other accounts. No thanks.
lzaaz··on ReVanced DMCA Takedown on GitHub
If you spend enough time in /g/ you will hear of everything.
lzaaz··on ReVanced DMCA Takedown on GitHub
Popularity I assume - people will be less hesitant to download an apk file from github, even if being on github doesn't really make it trustable in practical terms.
lzaaz··on Teardown of the UNI-T PRO UTi690B thermal camera
I know we are not supposed to complain about form but geez are those carousels terrible. They move by themselves, their height changes so you end up clicking the image instead of the arrows, etc.
lzaaz··on PHP 8.2
Don't update php and freeze the files and the database so they can't be hacked.
lzaaz··on Everything SBF is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail
Ah, three strikes law. Well sentenced then. Some don't belong in society.
lzaaz··on Everything SBF is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail
11 years for stealing a pizza? Show me.
lzaaz··on Everything SBF is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail
>Everything Sam Bankman-Fried is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail

That's weird-shouldn't he be doing everything that's possible to go to jail? Everybody would like to go to jail.

lzaaz··on Intel is using DXVK for their Windows Arc GPU DX9 drivers
I use Windows instead of macOS precisely because I can run all of my software since they don't deprecate stuff that old applications use.
lzaaz··on Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable
Put this in your /etc/hosts file and it should work (I don't know if it does as I don't have ipv6)
