    China = clicks nowadays I guess? The US produces more oil products than anyone else by a large margin [1] and extracts more than anyone else [2]. [1] https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs…

    Air Traffic Control is still primarily voice based, and simply up to the user on both sides to not make a mistake. Just bringing it up because you're right, in software that's cons…

    Surely there's a dataset out there with elevator calls for an office building you could test on, instead of the poor random destination case. Surprisingly, claude failed to find a …

    The article seems to be muddying the water bringing up grapheneOS itself. Or maybe it's the EFF. >Experts said the legal approach is unusual and may be the first time the law has b…

    People want free content online. More than that, they just expect it. Any future law in regards to this will likely just lead to the companies that already got consent (companies y…

    What I hate about EU laws is they tend to word these things like this. People act shocked when it leads to unintended side effects, but companies legal teams are just telling them …

    How long did it take x user to navigate from x screen to y screen is one of the most valuable metrics for any site, and most people consider this to require consent. Or at least it…

    If you did this people would only use the same half dozen sites and competitors would emerge. We're borderline already there today when the cost of switching is typing a different …

    YouTube is a site that pretty much everyone has an account already for (and therefore have already consented), but say you make YouTube 2, you can only make money if people allow p…

    You can still find articles lambasting the iphone for having a small screen, 'who would want to surf the web on their phone'. The CEO is in large part responsible for picking what …

    Heartbleed, one of the worst bugs in terms of exploitability and reach, was a bug that many engineers would be able to spot, if they were explicitly looking for it. That's the risk…

    Well at this point the goal is for Iran to stop randomly blowing up innocent cargo ships. Or firing missiles at airports and cities in retaliation. [1] https://www.reuters.com/worl…
