They need Lehane or… since OpenAI got him, what is Fabiani up to these days?

Having spent some time in California and seen things town by town at a very granular level, I think woke voters are the ones driving Volvos.

So while I didn’t quite follow that reference, it’s true that if Trump were to ban them for simply being owned by China, then he’d be kind of screwed because he’d then have to ban all his own merch like the Trump phone and his made-in-China MAGA hats.

It's hard to parse this without concluding that you are perhaps unaware that Volvo is Chinese.

Yes Gruber's comment about not making Ternus debut with a shit sandwich was right on the money, so I wondered why that alone didn't sway him to think that Apple would do the price increase sooner.

This is great. I look forward to going through it after some of the suggested tweaks are applied! 100 seems daunting though.

How do you avoid interruptions for permission? dangerously skip permissions, or is there something less nuclear than that? For me I guess the only less nuclear thing I can think of is running on a sacrificial machine. Is there any better way?

But… how many hours are billable? I guess you must have a good marketing site?

China already won when 空降美国人 were created 20, 30 years ago.

Vector search was around at least since Damashek in 1995, a solid five years prior to fine article’s timeline. And the references in that paper reach back even farther. The supposed evolution was way earlier than what is related in the article.

Clickbait title.

Let me save you the time and tell you that the author never gets around to sharing what they think the biggest tell is.

Perhaps an AI would have worked the answer into the article.

Then it’s not opted. It’s just in.

It’s not just the one detail. They also racialized the discussion of the impact and, egads, a cardinal sin, they mentioned the “Gulf of Mexico” and made their mention of the governor’s decision a partisan jab by not including the “one detail.”

If you have any friends or contacts or family who have ever shared any private information with you of any kind (phone number, address, photo, private opinions, etc.) you damn well have something to hide.

This kind of device access also affects others whose private information is shared privately on the device of the traveler.

CBP partly justify the invasion of privacy by citing a supposed reduced expectation of privacy when traveling. But people whose data is caught up on the devices of others are not the ones traveling, but they are still having their messages read and photos copied.

You mean in 2018 maybe?

I have never noticed an issue but now that we’re talking about it I realize It’s never occurred to me to run a speed test during a heavy downpour. Which might tell you something positive by itself. Next time I will do so but it might be a while; my rain season has ended.

Perhaps they discovered that they had been misled about him.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he’s not flawed. Just that people learn things and change their minds.

But you’re also right about people giving up morals for financial gain. Just an odd example to use.

You entirely missed the point. Please don’t disengage from those bars you perceive to be tainted in some way.

I’ve never had an issue with Starlink when it’s cloudy, or rainy for that matter. They even advertise this. Mini is different this way?

Bettering humanity is a pretty good two word summary of what should be the meaning of life and everyone’s goal. Please don’t disengage.

Not true in general on HN about one side only; it happens to all sides imho. But if you wanted to measure, you would have to normalize by the total number of occurrences on each side, and there is a lot of passive aggressive wording so the measurement would be easy to do badly.

To the extent that discussion of discussion is considered boring, perhaps this will get shut down too, but I think it was important to counter your claim.

It’s possible to want something without wanting to live in a system where there is a nanny to enforce that thing. Other means of enforcement exist, such as free markets.

This is in the US. It’s a free country. Things are legal by default (that’s a good thing) until the system notices them and makes a law.

Having seen how things work where freedom is not the default, I much prefer freedom.

I can construct some educated guesses in my imagination, but does anyone know the backstory of why?

Fascinating. If you're not aware of Jesse Schell's book on game design, even if your work is unrelated to games, I highly recommend taking a look. Would love to hear more about your work / product.

Fortunately 1. For slow speeds, it’s not like you have to live with that slowness every day. The impact is limited to the remaining few days of the month where you ran up against the 100GB, so the either-or in your statement looks worse than it is; and 2. Starlink makes it dead easy to switch from plan to plan right in the app so you can go right back to a lower plan when the higher one is not needed. With the caveat that they do change what plans are available sometimes as we’re seeing here.

E2E encrypted is nothing if key escrow is happening.

Why did they change their wording from:

Nobody can read your data, not even Apple

to:

Apple cannot read your data.

You know why.

They transitioned from “nobody can read your data, not even Apple” to “Apple cannot read your data.” Think about what that change means. And even that is not always true.

They also were deceptive about iCloud encryption where they claimed that nobody but you can read your iCloud data. But then it came out after all their fanfare that if you do iCloud backups Apple CAN read your data. But they aren’t in a hurry to retract the lie they promoted.

Also if someone in another country messages you, if that country’s laws require that Apple provide the name, email, phone number, and content of the local users, guess what. Since they messaged you, now not only their name and information, but also your name and private information and message content is shared with that country’s government as well. By Apple. Do they tell you? No. Even if your own country respects privacy. Does Apple have a help article explaining this? No.

I did my first programming with those wooden blocks.

I would build structures deliberately designed to gradually self destruct through a long sequence of actions. A cylinder rolls down a ramp and displaces a support that tips a tower that hits a lever that tips another ramp… endless fun.
