sushid··on The Kill-or-Be-Killed Fight for Crypto's Future
Art deco/"airbrush style"?

sushid··on The largest sofa you can move around a corner
That has got to be the worst possible navbar imaginable.
sushid··on Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10k
Okay, which state actor is going to buy this for $100,000? How are you going to sell it to them? What's the risk of getting caught?

Even if someone on telegram was telling me that Russia would buy this information for $100,000, I think I would reach out to Google and "settle" for $10k.

sushid··on Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10k
People keep talking about this as if there's a 0% chance of being caught if you do this?.

So let's suppose that you did set up the service like this. Can you even make 10 K? What are your odds of getting caught? How much do you value not being in prison and/or having to hire a lawyer to get you out of there?

I'd take the 10k every time.

sushid··on Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10k
Who are you advertising to? What is the risk of getting caught or getting scammed back while trying to receive your payment?

I feel like you are just taking into account the theoretical max value of a bad actor having these accounts, not the cost/risk of using this knowledge.

I could have the master key of a bank safe with 100MM worth of gold in the basement, but it's value is going to be nowhere near that, even to bad actors.

sushid··on Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10,000
I think a simple way to think of it is: how much would an adversarial nation state buy this exploit for?

I just don't think Russia would be willing to pay $100,000 to get Mr. Beast's email address, even if that sounds tempting to you.

sushid··on Google open-sources the Pebble OS
They didn't have to do this. They didn't even acquire Pebble outright, they acquired it through Fitbit, and Pebble was just a part of Fitbit's portfolio from a previous acquisition.
sushid··on Brood War Korean Translations
Not the parent commenter but not always. 9 pool just means you build a spawning pool at your main, for instance. This worker-prefix building build-order naming system also breaks down once people start referencing builds like 2 rax academy, 3 hatch muta, etc.
sushid··on Brood War Korean Translations
No, Protoss is just 토스, which is just hangulization of "Toss" aka Protoss.
sushid··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
Uhh... that's kind of how these algorithms work. I presume you interact (i.e. don't scroll past) with a lot of the English posts. It's going to index on that and show you more English content. When I'm abroad, I might see a few posts in their native language but the algorithm will revert to showing English posts about the city/country once it realizes I'm not really jiving with Portuguese posts, for example.
sushid··on Genetics, not shared envs, drives parent-child similarities in intelligence
What are you even saying? It's everything but not really?
sushid··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
What a truly insane take. Do you honestly think the Chinese government looks out more for your interests as an American citizen? The fact that you couldn't make the reverse claim in China without being censored speaks volumes.
sushid··on Best Pens for 2025
I feel the same way but with cheaper Japanese ball pens, my favorite being. I do have to disagree that a Bic Cristal feels "smooth" though. I think it doesn't glide as well as your average Japanese offerings although it does dry exceptionally well.

Personally I'm partial to the Zebra Sarasa Clip [0].

sushid··on Black boxes from Jeju Air 2216 stopped recording four minutes before crash
Did you read the article? The South Koreans couldn't decipher the content due to the extent of the damage and sent the black box over to the US. Do you think they colluded? Please take off your tinfoil hat on the way out.
sushid··on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says tech leaders are 'pretending to be Republicans'
I find Fortnite to have a much more reasonable monetization pattern compared to literally all other games that children play nowadays (Genshin and Roblox being the two most problematic). I also love that Epic is the only attempt at breaking the Steam game distribution monopoly we have today.

Also, Sweeney not wrong. Billionaires are lining up to pay Trump his dues because it'll lead to more $$.

sushid··on Kimchi Refrigerator
It's also the OG kimchi as Koreans didn't have red peppers until the Columbian Exchange (but have been preserving vegetable via brines since the Three Kingdoms era)!
sushid··on Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar beverages
Both would reduce demand so a sharp drop off would still be fairly realistic. Of course, getting anything done at the federal would be impossible in the US today.
sushid··on Waymo will bring autonomous vehicles to Tokyo
Not to mention it was some idiot who threw firecrackers in a Waymo. I don't think this person made a super calculated decision.
sushid··on Waymo will bring autonomous vehicles to Tokyo
Can you elaborate for those less informed? Is there a higher fare after the trains stop?
sushid··on Police bust pirate streaming service making €250M per month
To me, it seems unlikely that a singular, blatantly illegal service that is > 10% as popular as Netflix would go unnoticed by the legal authorities.

And given the comments below indicating that it was a mistranslation, it's a moot point- it was wrong after all.

sushid··on Police bust pirate streaming service making €250M per month
Obviously a lot of factors are at play for SaaS pricing but that would mean it would be worth at least around 50 billion USD in market cap if it were a legitimate business. Seems highly unlikely.
sushid··on Police bust pirate streaming service making €250M per month
There's no way that they were netting 250MM EUR per month. Just think of that number. That's 3 BILLION EUR per year!

Putting that into perspective, Gitlab is on track to do around just 580MM USD this year and is valued at 8 billion dollars in market cap.

Something tells me that their revenue isn't is 10% of Netflix.

sushid··on Handwriting but not typewriting leads to widespread connectivity in brain
What? I don't think learning a new language like Arabic is the solution to their problem. Something like the Sarasa Dry so that they don't leave smudges on their hand might be more reasonable.
sushid··on The size of BYD's factory
I'm sorry but that's a very naive take. That's like saying OPEC nations are always cooperative because they're part of the same economic organization.
sushid··on The Analog Thing: Analog Computing for the Future
I think they're saying analog computers could be the future of computing.

Veritasium explains it really well in general here (and demos the device) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVsUOuSjvcg

sushid··on MomBoard: E-ink display for a parent with amnesia
Agreed, or an expiry timer (e.g. this message expires in 12 hours).
sushid··on Porygon Was Innocent: An epileptic perspective on the infamous Pokémon episode
Wow you weren't kidding. I love strobe lights at shows and wouldn't mind staring at one directly but that video made my heart skip a beat!
sushid··on Show HN: Stretch My Time Off – An Algorithm to Optimize Your Vacation Days
I think it could be as simple as clicking a date will cycle it from default, mandatory off, mandatory non-off (must be working).
sushid··on Did scientists revive an extinct animal or just breed a less stripey zebra?
I mean isn't that what a lot of random robotics labs do as well (e.g. "some potential application for this feature includes search and rescue, etc.")? What's wrong with it?
sushid··on HPV vaccination: How the world can eliminate cervical cancer
Does that mean you can get certain HPVs via forms of non-sexual contact, such as handshakes, massages, etc.?
