It obviously doesn't seem that way to Google, or to the sites providing the content.
They are doing what works for them without ethical constraints (Google definitely, many content providers, eg NYT). Is it fair game to do what works for you (eg. 13ft)?!
I have seen some articles discussing this during the last olympics, and remember thinking how much more impressive it made the job of measuring completion.
As if Chrome is an abandoned project, as if people realize that it is spyware, and that using it gives enormous power to a company that is actively working against the trust of their users...
As if users have stopped using Chrome... what a sweet dream.
Makes sense to me. Is that supposed to be surprising?
Logic dictates that the more critical the data - the more likely it is gone. An informal anecdotal survey says that alot of users use bitlocker - which means a lot of data loss.
EDIT: I see that in many cases one can recover Bitlocker encrypted drives. I wonder how much real data loss there is.
For his first and most famous performance, Crash at Crush[1], he pretty much built a whole town, drilled two wells, and wound up having to pay huge amounts.
But after that it was all fun and games till the great depression "crushed" him.

I mentioned it to the school psychologist, who told me that biofeedback is not considered legit, but that it does seem to work for some kids.
My first thoughts when trying to figure out how biofeedback works is that it could easily be turned onto a game, even a good game, and it would help at least those that it helps.
Is that right? Thoughts from those here with experience or domain knowledge?
> In my opinion, any leader who actually cared about solving the problem would try understand basic things better or delegate to someone who does.
Nobody then knew what Covid was or what we needed to do to combat it. Trump got on the news almost daily and spoke freely about ideas that were being run by him - ideas that needed research or that had promise.
His open up-front style reassured the Nation; I have plenty of family that hated the man but felt reassured by his almost-daily updates, and the fact that he openly admitted that no-one knew yet how this was to be combated, but was willing to share ideas.
He very clearly was spending a lot of time to understand things well, and to share that info instead of "we are the experts so will make decisions without adequate facts and shove it down your throat without explanation" that some other politicians had.
In the video he doesn't tell anyone to drink bleach; he says that perhaps there is a cure based on bleach and research will be done. He says openly that sunlight will not cure Covid, but it may help.
> If he actually has his way and is completely unaccountable for anything he does, he wouldn't even done anything at all.
You have clearly read the media depiction of him. I don't think his record of action implies you are correct.
He clearly did not feel that the solution was to require China-level masking and quarantining - and in retrospect he was probably right. OTOH, his Admin did very well getting out a vaccines, etc. I disagree that we needed a federal response, but whatever - if things were so obvious all States would have had the same general requirements.
Overall, I can quickly point to dictator-type things that Biden has done, but have never heard even one convincing dictator-type thing that Trump has done. (If you are thinking "Jan 6" you should stop reading the media accounts and watch all the relevant footage. I have spent perhaps hundreds of hours watching Trump's speech that day, the J6 commission videos, etc. If there ever was a "big lie", it is that he was trying to stage a coup.)
Trump signals the opposite of a dictator. For example, in Covid he required the States to make their own rules, while the media was punishing him for not making federal rules about masking, etc. Regarding abortion, he was all about giving the States the right to decide, that it should not be federal. Etc. All the European strongmen were doing the opposite - using any excuse they had to increase their authority.
Sure, he talks tough. And sure, the media makes him into a demagogue. But they also take his words out of context (ALOT [1]) and have a storyline to sell.
Methinks the media doth protest too much.
[1]: Even the "dictator for one day", which was said about closing the border [opened by an executive order ("decree") by Biden on "day 1", and which will need an executive order to close again] and energy - and in which his point was that he would NOT use his term authoritatively - is turned into "I will be a dictator, starting from day 1"
Compared to other places (like ancient Greece that switched rulers twice a year).. I guess it's a risky job, but someone's gotta do it.
I do not know what it would take to do that, but even if it needs AI it doesn't sound too far off.
Also, would this work well when there is not a lot of room on the disk it is syncing from? I have had serious issues with the S3 cli in such a scenario?
Also, how would this compare to something like rclone?
Both against standalone tools such as Git-Fork, and built it tools such as VSCode Git [for the majority of the world that uses VSCode over Sublime-Text].
Generally they are careful not to admit anything that can be used against them, or which can cause the stock's shares to slide. There must have been such serious and well documented retaliations, that he felt he could not deny it.
I know I a being cynical, but looking at the fast and loose the way they have played with people's lives invites such an attitude.
Does this mean Starlink, or are there other private competitors in this space (a quick web search refers to 19 other companies that have bid on contracts for P-LEO)?
Also, I didn't follow what exactly does Oracle have to do with this - they are hardly the only cloud provider, and not even the one with the most government contracts?
Don't get angry at a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes. By then, you will have had time to calm down. And you will be a mile away. :)
When I need to do something repeatedly for a large number of times, I use my thumb to count the joints of my fingers, where the right hand is the "ones" and the left hand the "tens" column. In practice, I only go up to a hundred (ie. I use the first three fingers on each hand while counting - three on each finger, for 1-9), because decimal. But, the same system could get to 12x12 or 13x13.
A really neat alternative is to count on your fingers using binary. The right thumb is 0, the pointer 2, the middle finger 4, the ring finger 8, etc.
Amazingly, this gets you to over 1000 on your two hands, which is a really neat trick in the right setting. (Casually counting aloud off you fingers is great way to break the ice when you use binary - it is familiar but unexpected, dumb but smart.)
There are groups that can do that coercion (eg. US and CPC governments), and there may be support staff et all in Apple that can get the same access.
For the same reason, I was unhappy that Keychain.app is auto synced to iCloud (and as per a past thread, even if you disabled it it may be reset).
So, of course, I don't have to use their app. Except that I suspect it will be built into the OS in a way that makes it hard to avoid, such as Keychain.
I would love it if there was a way I could setup my self-hosted BitWarden instance to be as integrated as Keychain is, and not use Apple or Google for passwords.
If the original user kept the song to himself, "no harm done". If not, his credit details would be all over Napster and eMule.
I don't remember the details now, as that was way back when the 'Net was the Wild West, but it was all the rage on IRC....
There are always those families (especially among the religious) that would have larger families, with not obvious things that limit them. Knowing nothing about Japan, but living in the U.S. where birthrates are also falling, I would think state effort should be put into this.

Google will remain dominant because of the ease of returning to something familiar.
It is the same reason that MS is pushing OpenAI - once they become the familiar brand, people will stay there even if Anthropic blows them out of the water in terms of quality.
All the more so here where Bing results (aka DDG etc) are comparable or worse for a large number of queries.
Does this replace Vagrant, VirtualBox, or something else, and I have the wrong paradigm?
This is how it is for me on many many HN pages. I assume because link only replies are auto-set to below some threshold, as are anything with even one downvote.
How can I change that? I set "showdead" -> yes in my profile. What else can I set?
So, while 1/8 of a cup is overdoing it, I wonder if this would actually work. If you served it to someone who doesn't know the magic sauce, would they enjoy the pizza?
And while the thought is pretty gross, you don't want to know what's going into a lot of other stuff you eat. What's worse: eyeballs in hot-dogs or glue in pizza? Potentially explosive chemicals in Cola? Thickening agents made from seaweed or human bones (at one point in yogurts)?
Our food is full of stuff that are probably a lot less safe and more disgusting, they just aren't advertised.
Is that something ffmpeg could do?
Is there any good resource for recipes like these?
Have they figured out a new way to do the landings? Have they found some new tech to get to terminal velocity? What is different about their launch technique than SpaceX, RocketLab or any of the others that have reusable rockets?
And while another $100M is cool and all that, I am not really sure just how much that helps if they are really coming up with something new.
Do any of the knowledgeable HN readers have a link to anything, or alternatively - can you identify this as someone who is just milking programs for money (Ias I have heard Howell is doing)

I have some experience with other languages. I cannot think of any other that is "better" in the same domain. (Bash or F# are "better" but in a different domain).
Javascript has a lot of things I love, and I wish PHP would copy. But I rely on my Nginx/PHP pages more than on my Node/JS pages, and after a while I realized that PHP made better decisions, overall, for back-end.
I have a love/hate relationship with Python (I like the indents; I don't like the virtual env, etc. unpopular views) but PHP is faster, has much more ready to work without hassle, and borks far less.
I wrote to them, and got no response. Why is that needed for a on-demand scanner? Why should I trust malwarebytes?
