"It has interesting permissions as well ..." ?
I assume a banking app needs (temporary) permission to use the camera for check photos or things of that nature ... and possibly (temporary) use of location data.
I would be alarmed if it requested microphone or access to either contacts or photo storage ...
You've already lost me there.
I don't install the samsung dishwasher app or the mcdonalds value points app or the Mountain Dew summer of fun app ... why would I install some random national carrier telco app ?
... and we've seen this before in previous bubbles ...
I thought there was a robust android emulator for linux such that I could run android apps - and call an Uber or whatever - from desktop linux ...
Is that not so ?
What I am absolutely convinced of is that touchscreens are cheap and tacky.
The current trend of so-called “luxury” cars with wrapping screens all the way around the passenger is terrible.
A high end, or luxury, car should have physical controls and physical dials/gauges.
I’m reminded of a quote I heard describing the then new Bentley SUV: “what a poor person thinks a rich person’s car looks like”.
It should ignore unexpected inputs and formats. It should not know what a web page or an image file is.
It should have no idea what it is displaying nor what is happening on the remote end ... I don't want it to know I am more'ing or less'ing or paging, etc. Just show the output.
I feel so strongly about this that I am sometimes tempted to collapse output to ascii-256. I resist this temptation because I sometimes cut and paste foreign URLs ... which my terminal has no idea is a URL.
They certainly shouldn’t have always online devices capable of accessing social media platforms.
US father of three here and if they’re younger than 15 just hand them a Nintendo switch… if you hand them anything at all.
You will never win the arms race you’ll be fighting- against both your children and the platforms.
Just opt out.
I think the bond market is betting on no rate cut and we are seeing early entrants into a larger flight to safety.
I was very tempted by long dated puts on this when the intro-day high of +40% was reached…
No, you're thinking correctly and the odd discourse that you (and I) see is based on two implicit assumptions:
1) Your threat model is a global observer that notices - and tracks and exploits - your supposed perfect per-request uniqueness.
2) Our browsers do not give us fine grained control over every observable value so if only one variable is randomized per request, that can be discarded and you are still identifiable by (insert collection of resolution and fan speed or mouse jiggle or whatever).
Item (1) I don't care about. I'd prefer per-hit uniqueness to what I have now.
Item (2) is a valid concern and speaks to the blunt and user-hostile tools available to us (browsers, that is) which barely rise to the level of any definition of "user agent" we might imagine.
I repeat: I would much prefer fully randomized per-request variables and I don't care how unique they are relative to other traffic. I care about how unique they are relative to my other requests. Unfortunately, I am wary of browser plug-ins and have no good way to build a trust model with the 12 different plug-ins this behavior would require. This is the fault of firefox and the bad decisions they continue to make.
A disappointing level of knowledge and sophistication in this late, 21st century era.
Your bone health is almost entirely correlated to the load bearing exercise and gravity stress that you put on your musculoskeletal system.
Fine optimizations to your diet (just like fine optimizations everywhere in life) are only sensible after you've taken care of the big, macro factors.
Did you, in fact, rip your SACDs at their true, higher, resolution?
If so, how ?
I kid …
Don't forget that cloudflare provides service to the very botnets and flooders/booters they purport to protect against.
Would that be triple-dipping ? Or do we have a special term for this specific behavior ?
As this is HN - a very thoughtful and technically astute demographic - it’s very unlikely that your parent, or others reading, own a “smart fridge”.
No matter how effective this list is, the settings will either revert, change, or be silently undone.
New settings will alter the efficacy of the old ones.
Existing settings will disappear.
The behavior you hoped to configure changed to its opposite.
Remember: there was one morning when we all woke up and saw every dns query sent to cloudflare doh by default, and with no opt-in.
Why would you need to?
If your inability to assemble basic HTML forces you to adopt enormous, bloated frameworks that require two full cores of a cpu to render your post…
… or if you think your online missives are a step in the road to content creator riches …
… then I suppose I see the problem.
Otherwise there’s no problem.
The issue is that the overdose of Paracetamol is relatively similar to the effective, or safe, dose:
"(overdose) of paracetamol is caused by taking more than the recommended maximum daily dose of paracetamol for healthy adults (three or four grams),[38] and can cause potentially fatal liver damage. A single dose should not exceed 1000 mg ..." [1]
See the problem ? A mere 3x the single dose puts one in "potentially fatal liver damage" territory.
This problem is compounded dramatically in small children where errors in the estimation of the child's weight can put you half way to overdose before you even start. Now add a meniscus error as you fill a clear plastic cup in the middle of the night ... or Mom gives a dose at 5am without knowing that Dad already gave a dose at 2am ... ugh.
Compare this to Aspirin where the overdose is as high as 15-30x the effective dose.
Are they using nsd or bind or … did they write their own?
magick convert IMG_1111.HEIC -strip -quality 87 -shave 10x10 -resize 91% -attenuate 1.1 +noise Uniform out.jpg
Some additional notes:
- attenuate needs to come before the +noise switch in the command line
- the worse the jpeg quality figure, the harder it is to detect image modifications[1]
- resize percentage can be a real number - so 91.5% or 92.1% ...
Rather, it is a combination of a highly intensive use case and a relatively morally bankrupt user base that results in a supply chain full of burned out SSDs.
I say relatively morally bankrupt… I am sure there are many delightful people out there mining Chia coin …
Is this mechanism different?

In the post-chia[1] landscape, I would advise extreme caution in sourcing drives and a decent shortcut is to not buy from Amazon ...
Oh stop.
There was zero intelligence at any of the five CuervoCons ...
it is relatively simple and inexpensive to operate and there is no reason it can’t continue operating into the indefinite future.
I disagree with the op on one major point… They suggest that the proper way for a service like this to operate is with a public database of links…
However, when I think of all of the different ways, one might use a shorter, it seems obvious that many links would necessarily be sensitive and/or private.
Therefore, I consider myself to have a dual mandate: privacy of the links created, and a duty, that I have assumed, of running the service for decades.
Is this ID requirement for non-US persons?
What if the account is a corporate or a business account? Whose ID would you use?
We made a "CEO Page" for this purpose:
This appears to be the case and this idea is explained, in-depth, in the excellent book:
_Born to Run_
... by Christopher McDougall.
I highly recommend it.
