> We don't need the all of society's controls to be flawless
We don't, but we do need them to be at least close to best-effort. This is a nonsense law, implemented in a nonsense way. Clearly nobody cared whether it worked or not, and there's either an anterior motive or it was something the current government (whose idea it was not) couldn't back out of without being labelled "pedo-loving scum!".
Unfortunately, I can't let your examples go without comment either. Age restrictions on the sale of tobacco caused a dive in the numbers of children smoking since those shops absolutely stopped selling to children when the penalties came in. I know, I was one of them and none of my friends could get cigs from shops anymore. As for the height restriction bypass; we're not in Looney Tunes, that's not a thing.
You are spot on, but you are drawing a slightly wrong conclusion, IMHO:
Yes, Overture what the best Yahoo! acquisition ever made.
But Yahoo!'s greatest mistake was to settle the Google lawsuit for a few million dollar - which meant that Google could keep using Overture's (parented) invention of keyword bidding based advertising; without it, Google may never have found a way to become profitable.
So Yahoo! bought its own gravestone for $50m, when all they would have had to do is stand firm and go to trial.
PS: Yahoo Inc. is not full gone - Yahoo Japan remains the last independent part of the former Y! empire, or at least it was for several years after the Verizon deal.
Dear map makers who show us by-state break-downs: normalize by the population. The first map tells me this: New York, Florida, and Texas have large populations.
The Springfield XD line has this. At least one S&W Shield model as well.
It's amazing to me this P320 problem exists. Making semi-autos safe, even without a grip safety, has been a solved problem for over 40 years. How anyone thought a fully cocked striker is a reasonable design, or that the US military would adopt such a thing, is a disturbing mystery.
After Sig gets financially destroyed, and the US military has to correct this monumental mistake, we can at least look forward to no further designs like this. Who knows, maybe the US will do something intelligent and just issue Glock 17's, like they should have done at least 20 years ago.
How would splitting it into substrings be different from decoding individual strings from an allocation/gc perspective? If anything I'd assume splitting a substring was more efficient - i expect there's a ton of optimisations in js for sliced strings or whatever as it's been around for ages.
Meh it depends whether you use those things of course. There's other IDEs, other languages. And Microsoft isn't doing this out of charity. A lot of the really useful plugins are not working on the open source version, so people that use them provide telemetry which is probably valuable. Or they use it as a gateway to their services like GitHub Copilot.
If a mega corporation gives you something for free it's always more beneficial to them otherwise they wouldn't do it in the first place.
> For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing.
I wish these disclaimers went upfront, the way a newspaper by-line would have been. I've never engaged much with Fortune anyway, but this makes me much less interested in doing so moving forward--if I wanted to know what an LLM thought of airport lounge crowding, I could ask one myself.
But aren't there a lot of processes that could drive accumulated damage that are hard to avoid (so you can't realistically get lucky)?
E.g. if metabolic processes produce harmful products in low quantities that build up ... How would you possibly survive many decades without doing at least a certain amount of metabolizing food etc?
That has an awful lot to do with what "the thing" is. I'm sure there are a few people out there doing it just to feel more important, but often there's a good reason for denying someone access - either it's just a terrible idea to begin with or they don't know you well enough to trust you without someone else (i.e. their boss) specifically requesting it.
I could be off base here about your experience, but I know that someone people made the same comments about me when I pushed back on sharing dangerous credentials with inexperienced coworkers. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
That any of these outlets are bending over for payment companies rather than just using Internet native money in 2025 is a real head scratcher. It's really not that hard to just accept Lightning payments. Heck, you can do it with Square EPOS terminals these days.
But a lot of industries are just in a D/s relationship with credit cards and I probably should stop kink shaming them.
Apps are sandboxed and don’t have full disk access unless you want them to.
Article’s claim that websites have same capabilities largely defeats its own argument that websites have less capacity to collect tracking data. Either can be used nefariously if isolation is leaky, and both can be secure if done properly. But sometimes apps are a better default: I would rather not have notes, audio/video recordings, and chats to automatically go to out of device unless I consciously opt in.
Even when privacy is not a concern, there are still plenty of cases when I don’t want the website over the app. I don’t want ebooks reader, music app, bodyweight scale reader, vacuum robot and smart home controls, games to be on the web.
Sure there are plenty of apps that shouldn’t exist, but just as annoying is relentless push for web/cloud tech everywhere just so they can lock you in on a subscription, mine your data behind the scenes, and risk mass leaking all to hackers.
Always use website is a shortsighted advice that doesn’t consider the full picture.
My point is that all indexes are "inverted" in the sense that they map some searchable value to occurrences of said value. That is true even if method of comparison is not strict equality.
Lots of models could explain this. For example, let's say it's not just one program, but thousand of programs running in your body, trying to get you to age or die. The chances that all of them bug out would be astronomically low.
Hi again HR. You said I should release early and release often so here I am.
HRAM is a computer simulator that runs real native assembly in the context of a 128x72 pixel screen with 8-bit colors (4 bits for red, 4 for green, no blue).
The idea is that you program it using your own assembly, in the same way they might have had to 50 years ago. It's almost like love2d but with assembly. You write an asm function that responds to events like mouse/keyboard/etc.
It takes your code, located at appdata\hram\hsig.s (it creates one for you on the first run) and runs it when it loads. I plan to add hot reloading soon, maybe later today.
And it's not an interpreter! It uses asmjit under the hood to compile your code into actual assembly and then just runs it. Which means this is literally as close to the metal as you can get writing games!
This is maybe the coolest and most exciting thing I've ever built. I'm really excited to see what you all think of it!
This could have turned badly in terms of reputation if they had tried to complain that the vulnerability should be critical, e.g. or using other ways to seek attention for not getting bounty, but current way was rather neutral way.
> Exactly, and I've answered that saying I'm not convinced, so, I've asked you if you had further arguments. I've said at the time why it was not convincing, and I've built even more in my previous comment.
You never made it clear that you understood the argument, because you went straight from "Not sure what is your point" to "Why would it be". That doesn't look like a request for more convincing, that looks like you never considered it.
> I still think it's the woman, because not every parent beat their children despite them being smaller, which proves that being bigger does not mean being violent.
What. Not every dating relationship involves violence either. We're talking about what's more likely here.
Also children and dates are different in so many ways that even ignoring that factor this doesn't disprove the argument at all.
> Not sure which data you think this model does not explain
If the root cause is culture encouraging men to be physically violent, why would the total amount of physical violence be the same in gay relationships, especially lesbian ones?
Isn’t it fascinating that life on Earth began and evolved in such a radically different chemical environment? What we consider inhospitable was actually the cradle of life itself.
