thrill··on Disney reinstates Jimmy Kimmel after backlash over capitulation to FCC
Disney forgot who their friends were. They need to stay in the sin bin until they fully realize it.
thrill··on Be careful with Go struct embedding
Hmm, never realized the convenience came this way. Seems the compiler could emit a warning if two equal depth names might cause confusion, which could be ignored if acceptable.
thrill··on Ultrasonic Chef's Knife
Watch the video.
thrill··on Bosch Unveils New Brake Technology
I do hope the pressure-sensitive pad has some “give” in it to provide physical feedback to the driver. Way back when the F-16 first began flying in production, the side stick was rigid, and more than one pilot would return with bruised arm muscles from pulling as hard as possible wondering if they had more available. While braking in a car doesn’t have the same frequency of needing full deflection (short of having to ride with my wife’s friend driving), there’s likely to be some similar discomfort from wondering how much more braking is available.

Guess what happens to industries that are not profitable.

thrill··on Scammed out of $130K via fake Google call, spoofed Google email and auth sync
Fraud is fraud. There’s plenty of laws against it.
thrill··on Scammed out of $130K via fake Google call, spoofed Google email and auth sync
In my actual real world experience of digging my elderly mother out of $25,000+ of scam debt, banks do not care at all unless they can be shown to be at fault, and then they weigh the loss expense vs the likely legal expense.

Because everyone knows viruses don't mutate.

thrill··on You May Get Future Vaccines via Dental Floss
If there are any future vaccines.
thrill··on Tesla withheld data, lied, misdirected police to avoid blame in Autopilot crash
When a vehicle crash occurs, that embedded system should no longer be treating data as "temporary", but as what it now is, civil and potentially criminal evidence, and it should be preserved. To go to the effort of creating that data, uploading it to a corporate server, and then having programming that explicitly deletes that data from the source (the embedded system), certainly reads as nefarious without easily verifiable evidence to the contrary. The actions of a company that has acted this way in no fashion lends any credibility to being treated as anything other than a hostile party in court. Any investigators in the future involving a company with such a history need to act swiftly and with the immediate and heavy hand of the court behind them if they expect any degree of success.
thrill··on Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong
Since it's a great article, I'm sure it was written using vi.
thrill··on Gitea Private, Fast, Reliable DevOps Platform
Do you know if there are (settable) limits on image sizes using it as a container repository? Some of my larger images never fully get uploaded.
thrill··on Ask HN: Is it time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other?"
Maybe we could fork it into technical discussions and complaints about technical discussions.

They may, but once something becomes a revenue stream, their successors won't.

No ... no, I don't.

thrill··on BYD's Five-Minute Charging Puts China in the Lead for EVs
Place right turn signal on. People to the right of you make a hole. You move over. You decide to stay there until traffic is empty to pass again without impeding others. You never leave your zen.

thrill··on Ukraine destroys more than 40 military aircraft in drone attack deep in Russia
It may have been even more effective than that if the intel supported specific target selection. Russia is likely already having a difficult time keeping their fleet operational, and if Ukraine was able to select aircraft that had recently flown then it's likely to have left mostly the non-flyable aircraft, causing Russia that much more difficulty to employ them.
