very cool! I absolutely want one.

Is Bobby Kotik going to let his employees sexually assault people in the metaverse too?

All the article is suggesting is that we do more than just have people focus on memorizing facts. It isn't asking _everyone_ to understand and prove _everything_. Just that there is more focus on having people understand the why, not just the what.

But with that thinking society will never progress. If we take everything in the past on faith, then we will stay stuck in those ideas of the past. New ideas often come out of challenging the old ones, especially when that change is revolutionary.

Absolutely some things you may need to take on faith; but you shouldn't base your world view on only taking people in authority's views on faith. The more you use the scientific method, the more you know when you need to use it or not.

Source? That's definitely not what I've heard. Even in windows 10 you need a silly workaround. If you log into wifi when setting up you are forced to login. I had to reinstall and refuse to login to wifi. They patched that workaround out in windows 11 iirc.

The reason I won't upgrade is there doesn't seem to be much benefit. I don't use the gaming stuff and while the UI seems nice, Windows 10 works fine as well. I'd also be forced into logging in with an MS account which I'm not hot on.

I see a lot of people commenting that his channel is "pseudoscience." After watching several of his videos in full, he mainly talks about the interrogation techniques officers use over the actual subject or their psychological reaction. He also does any the analysis of a subject after the case has concluded with full knowledge of what the end result is. He is more looking back, trying to explain the subject's actions based on the full knowledge that the person is found guilty or not. He also analyzes full videos and takes into consideration all the facts of the case. He doesn't make assumptions based on one small tell or the other.

He also actively shows that not everyone reacts the same. One of his videos is fully based around an innocent man who seems to react differently than the average person and is kept in jail because of it. He makes the point that cops sometimes do read too much into these tells and forget the facts.

If you think that this could somehow be problematic; after watching the channel the only conclusion you can reasonably come to is "if the police suspect me of a crime, shut the hell up and get a lawyer." He is quite clear that the police are way better at psychological games, and the absolute last thing they want you to do is get your lawyer involved. Heck, he shows a cop who murdered someone get caught to show that even cops can't keep up with their own interrogation tactics! This is actively helpful and exactly what anyone under investigation should do.

Linus tried to make the point that on windows you don't have to pay close attention when doing something minor like installing Steam. Because why should something like that ever even have the potential to remove your desktop environment? (*On a system meant for the common consumer that is not an expert in the domain*)

Yes he didn't pay attention to the warning, but in fairness Linux gives a lot of warnings. Sudo gives a warning when you first use it, and that's clearly used all the time. To you and I who know what "gnome-de" is (or whatever the package name is) the warning is clear. But to someone new to the space, DE is not a commonly used acronym.

Then the user should say that and state their argument, no?

In some other countries the police are allowed to use physical force during interrogations. So what is your point?

Linus tried it but had an issue where installing steam wiped his DE. He switched to Manjaro and Luke used Mint.

The colleges were willing to jack up the price to take advantage of the government giving out loans. They are a major part of the problem as well.

I hate that even though I paid for the service, the web version still has a banner ad asking me to upgrade. It's so stupid that the "share" button on mobile goes to dropbox's own share and "export" (Android's share and what I usually want) is buried deep in a menu. Also photos, the whole reason I got dropbox (to switch away from Google photos) is a terrible experience. The web photos page is awful, you can't see albums made on mobile and it's slow. Also I have a bug I can't fix where on desktop if photos are downloaded for offline, the thumbnails disappear.

It's frustrating that so many developers have taken such a strong mobile-first approach to the detriment of the desktop; especially something like Dropbox.

Same on Firefox, android

Interesting note; the original game is the third result on DuckDuckGo. An app store result is the first one, followed by a polygon article, then the game

Which regulations?

The CS students in my University had an unofficial Discord server even before covid and I saw what happened in the story play out many times in that server.

You are missing the point completely. Someone who knows a lot about makeup and spends lots of skill and patience but in a completely different domain. Yea Linus tech tips runs their own server because they happen to be in that domain. But that's not enough people to create a thriving ecosystem.

Isn't a rule on this site not to editorialize the title?

Isn't this clear destruction of evidence? I believe, at least in some jurisdictions, if it can be proven there is destruction of evidence there are additional charges and the opposite side's claims about the evidence are assumed to be true. I have no idea if this is the case in federal criminal courts, but I'd love to hear from someone who knows.

You are absolutely right. It's horrifying how often people on the internet just want the government to step in and "fix" everything.

I think this model is less crazy than it seems. Businesses need to do product development and loose tons of money on ideas that don't work all the time.

What's happening is big corps realize that many ideas can only really start outside of their corporate mindset, but can only survive with it. So startups do the initial development on a product until it's something people want, then the corporation tries to turn it into a profitable business.

Admittedly I have no idea if it's a maintainable model....these companies loose a heck of a lot of money.

This kind of thing is why I love to be on HN. It's so interesting to be able to discuss technologies with the people that created them.

Shouldn't you post the direct link to the article instead of make a text post?

What a simplistic view. I see this sentiment so often in hn and Reddit threats. If something is going wrong, yes the nuclear option might be the one needed at some point. But burning all your bridges (including your S/O) and running, isn't a great first idea.

They have reproducible builds on Android if you are that paranoid.

Holy moly they are. One review was labeled "you will need to go to therapy after working here." Sheesh.

Wow, this is a fantastic site. I definitely plan on visiting Berlin at some point and I'll use it.

If people are interested, Joplin is a great FOSS note taking software built on markdown but adds e2e encryption, a web clipper, a nice desktop UI, Integrated syncing (you can use Dropbox or something like that, or pay for their service), and more. The mobile app needs some work, but overall I like it.

To be fair, Zoom had some issues even before it came to the spotlight. At one point when you installed the desktop client it also installed a hidden webserver for some reason. [0]
