throwaway290··on Is Germany's gold safe in New York ?
I totally agree. Just remember that current events also happen and become history. maybe you picked your side, that's your choice.

not committing now = keeping your options open. it's smart. usually who has more different available moves is in a better situation. money are not going anywhere and if EU doesn't urgently need them it's a nice bonus in future.

When it was stable and didn't do bad things blatantly like it's the norm.
throwaway290··on Scientists mapped all the nerves of the clitoris for the first time
I thought I saw it like every other day but search didn't show it. Kind of weird behavior I think some accounts take advantage of it
throwaway290··on LLMs can't justify their answers–this CLI forces them to
You don't have to review them just ask your llm to make the same thing if you really want it;)

throwaway290··on In Japan, the robot isn't coming for your job; it's filling the one nobody wants
off topic. all risks you mention are in developing countries without good medicine. that's not Japan.
throwaway290··on Tesla Is Sitting on a Record 50k Unsold EVs
Well, I didn't say it's intentional... just that they can count on it... but yeah it was sarcasm.

no worries, when things go hard and stock goes down they can count on Trump for a convenient war and oil crisis.
throwaway290··on Artemis II crew take “spectacular” image of Earth
If you think they only took one shot, you're not a digital photographer)

In this special situation you get as many as you can a few dozen at least. Then only publish the one that looks the best. If it's f4 then f4 worked best.

throwaway290··on Gold overtakes U.S. Treasuries as the largest foreign reserve asset
> Weakening your own domain to get powerful sounds clearly contradictory

No because it's relative. If people around you get weak then you get more powerful automatically. If you get more powerful and people around you also get more powerful then you are in the same situation.

So if power is what you want you destroy others at the same time as building your power. What trump is doing is logical. He isn't living in china or russia. he doesn't care if they get stronger. he cares if people around get weaker relative to him and cronies who are in on it. and that works

throwaway290··on Artemis computer running two instances of MS outlook; they can't figure out why
Interesting... I mean I use other non-Microsoft mail as well but to be fair I only use 1 Microsoft account.
throwaway290··on Enabling Codex to Analyze Two Decades of Hacker News Data
Is this one of them? It sounded like it's some sort of official dataset.
throwaway290··on Enabling Codex to Analyze Two Decades of Hacker News Data
And? I'm talking about entire dataset. API is irrelevant unless you scrape it and because HN rate limits actual users I'm sure it doesn't like scraping.
throwaway290··on Queueing Requests Queues Your Capacity Problems, Too
Hit with machine generated art, so awful. Is the rest of it also generated?
throwaway290··on Tesla March car registrations soar in key European markets
Tesla had falling sales even while other EVs has rising sales. If Tesla is now up think how much the Iran war is benefiting Chinese car companies.
throwaway290··on Artemis computer running two instances of MS outlook; they can't figure out why
> Apple Mail does not play nicely with Outlook/Exchange/M365 accounts. Everywhere I've worked had said "You can use Apple Mail if you want, but IT won't be supporting it. Outlook app only." Always issues with syncing mail or contacts.

using apple mail app with exactly literally that. not a problem in 4-5 years. switched phones/computers recently and set up process was no glitch. just awful MS login with a bunch of login redirects and then it's fine.

if IT told me to use outlook app Id be gone the next day probably

HN data is open? Under what conditions it's distributed?
throwaway290··on Gone (Almost) Phishin'
It's a thing with google and facebook too. If you login to youtube or go to facebook account settings, at least 3 redirects through very random places. I guess 3 is not a lot compared to microsoft's 15.
throwaway290··on Show HN: We open-sourced our content writing workflow as a Claude Code skill
You can use bots to summarise things for you. Like a broken telephone. nobody wants to read slop so everybody will pay up. Except poor people I guess
throwaway290··on Gone (Almost) Phishin'
That's just for support. Legit password resets for example come from more random top level domains with "microsoft" in it, like microsoftonline.com

Another fun one is facebook, they use facebookmail.com or whatever else for serious security stuff

throwaway290··on Apple removes iPhone vibe coding app from app store
iOS developers everywhere: "good"

"One more day where I get to use llm to code but still avoid being replaced myself"

throwaway290··on Set the Line Before It's Crossed
The article is slop. No human ever talks about domestic abuse or heart attacks like that
throwaway290··on SpaceX files to go public
Yes Americans will definitely move their 401k over this /s

Its fleecing because it basically takes everybody's money and gives it to support musk's money loser xai. SpaceX net profit 8 billion per year (previous years much less) and Xai was net losing 1.5 billion per quarter.

throwaway290··on SpaceX files to go public
> If you have a 401k you will be an investor 15 days after launch

You will be an investor in spacex and xai which it bought.

Fun fact, Xai net loss 6 billion dollars per year and SpaceX net profit 8 billion on a good year (https://www.reuters.com/technology/musks-xai-posts-net-quart... https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/spacex-registers-tak...)

If you remember xai, it's that company currently being sued for the undressing kids feature (https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/895639/x... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok_sexual_deepfake_scandal) in its flagship product. By the way the feature is still enabled apparently

Is there something about why spacex wants to go public ? if not then this is definitely about xai... to hide unprofitability and offload it on general public ASAP.

throwaway290··on Hong Kong police can now demand phone passwords under new security rules
not sure if you travel much but you're not legally in the country until you passed immigration

> What is private life if it can be broken for no reason? What is freedom of speech if it doesn't apply to the people who don't agree with you?

totally but that's a different thing a little

throwaway290··on Ghostmoon.app – A Swiss Army Knife for your macOS menu bar
It's free so why not just publish it on github then so that people could read the code and compile it themselves.

Right now it's closed source binary with a big fat "DOWNLOAD FOR FREE" button and instructions casually telling you to disable the last barrier between your system and persistent malware. Nobody should recommend this to anybody

throwaway290··on CSS is DOOMed
I mean they literally just told you...
throwaway290··on Meow.camera
looks like most of them in China?
throwaway290··on Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email
if this was a few years ago I would even say here on "hacker" news we could probably notice the indian locale in the damn URL and save an entire subthread of racial offtopic
