nullbyte808··on My SIM card got hijacked
I had tmobile for one month and my SSN got leaked as part of one of their breaches. The reps at the store also sold me additional products I had to cancel later that I did not want.

I ported my number to Google Voice and no longer have to worry about crap like this. Tmobile is pure garbage.At least tmobile America, maybe tmobile Germany is much better.

nullbyte808··on Ask HN: What would you do to turn $100K into $1M in 3 years?
250: APPL 250: GOOGL 250: NVDA 250: AMAZN

Will take prolly 8 years though. But you have 25K available cash as a margin loan/credit line.

nullbyte808··on Box64 on Asahi with experimental GPU driver
Nice but pointless when Apple adds Vulkan support to MacOS
nullbyte808··on Gcloud storage: Faster data transfers for Cloud Storage
Would be nice getting these speeds on Google drive!
nullbyte808··on Systematically Improving Espresso (2020) [pdf]
"As we demonstrated in Figure 3, our model informs us that a reduction in dry coffee mass results in an increased EYmax (shown schematically in blue in Figure 6). Thus, a barista is able to achieve highly reproducible espresso with the same EY as the 20 g espresso by reducing the coffee mass to 15 g and counter-intuitively grinding much coarser (as shown in red, Figure 6B). This modification may result in very fast shots (<15 s), a reduction in espresso concentration, and a different flavor profile."

This looks way better! Setting it as my default.
nullbyte808··on .ai
The irony, starts a cryptography association and doesn't even use SSL.
nullbyte808··on Use TouchID to Authenticate Sudo on macOS
You have to put it below the first line, like in the example.
nullbyte808··on I do not agree with Github's use of copyrighted code as training for Copilot
Thanks nerd for promoting copilot! I used to be obsessed with OSS ideology years ago too when I was younger. It a mental virus. I've been cured for years now. Hope you get better.
nullbyte808··on Whitest paint ever reflects 98 per cent of light and could cool homes
Cool! More reason to buy paint made of this stuff if it ever goes to market.
nullbyte808··on Opting Your Website Out of Google's FLoC Network
Theres a price to privacy. When I was younger I jumped on the bandwagon and for a period only used Firefox with cookie autodelete and cache cleared every exit.

Now I just see it as being asocial. If Google didn't monetize search with ads how would you discover new products? Without ads websites would not be able to deliver premium content and we would all still be stuck in the early 90s. The internet would work like some broken socialist version of wikipedia.

I have ad free YouTube and sometimes I consider turning it off just to see what kinds of ads are out there that I've missed.
