I remember those days. Lots of software was also export restricted, but the Internet being what it is, I doubt those restrictions mattered much to folks who wanted effective encryp…

Someone tell me how it would be "in the public interest" to allow one owner to control more than 50% of the market.

FWIW HDR works fine in Linux. Steam Deck (which runs it) has HDR support, both for its interface and for games. Bit confused by your comment, honestly.

Your bank sucks. The few times I've done a chargeback, it's been totally pain free. I do advise trying to get a refund informally first as that is expected by the CC networks.

Usually it's the Phillipines or an African country or something, but so very many times.

> Nope. Look at the flight track. They went all the way back. Good point, I was thinking they were over the ocean and that was naturally the closest airport, but it looks like they…

Isn't that what they did?

I thought the same thing but it's still not a good look. The big tech companies offering this sort of thing should probably find ways to give better guarantees about data isolation…

Heya Tom, it's Bob, from the office down the hall

As of right now, it says Pro includes Code and Cowork. (At least, for me. There could always be A/B testing going on.)

While this is true, very often that is the impact of a third party vote in a federal election. See the election of one George W. Bush and the impact of Mr. Nader.

The product isn't Facebook, Quest, or Instagram. The product isn't advertising. The product isn't even people. The product is the stock price. Viewed through that lens, keeping the…

Realistically, if it in fact did take 5 minutes to do the cleanroom reimplementation, you could just process updates from the OSS source in realtime.

I love that this was ostensibly written by Vint Cerf.

Good lord, I can only imagine the wasted electricity.

Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Not likely, but would consider remote positions in Canada (I am a dual citizen) and USA and hybrid positions in Pitts…

> Everybody will slowly move to "web only" as 30% would kill their ability to compete with anybody else. Frankly, yes, please. I mean, I'm biased as my whole career is in web app d…

> AI doesn't need to drive a tractor. It needs to orchestrate the systems and people who do. I've been rather expecting AI to start acting as a manager with people as its arms in t…

Big companies would outsource this position within a year, I guarantee it. It's highly measurable which means it can be "optimized".

It's not that simple. I'll point you at this Harvard Law Review article[1] to start but shareholder value is not the only consideration for executives and doesn't even need to over…

I dread the day that Logitech kills the servers for Harmony. If they don't release the IR code database, they're going to have a lot of people (myself included) pretty annoyed. (To…

> Heck, we could just snatch people off the street and declare they cannot prove they are a citizen therefore they have no Constitutional protections. I'm not sure if you intended …

Anecdotally as someone in a large tech company, fairly common and much easier to get than a lot of visa classes. But then, you have to be Canadian or Mexican (and the Canadian one …

I'm assuming good faith debate against my own judgment, but in case anyone is confused, here's your sign: 1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of …
