We need to attach actual monetary amounts to PII. If a company loses the data they owe you that money. The money is increased based on how and if they disclosed the leak. Lying abo…

Very difficult to use on mobile.

You can set Kagi as the default search engine today on iOS. Unless I’m misunderstanding.

I’m pretty sure Brave and Vivaldi are both based on Chromium/Blink not WebKit.

Something must be wrong with your computer. I don't see objectionable content when I turn mine on? I'd have to actively seek out objectionable content and I don't even have any sor…

The example you give doesn’t really track. If a drug dealer is outside the entrance of your home it’s completely unavoidable. A kid looking at adult material online? Entirely withi…

It’s been my experience that developers running Mac already know how to use Linux and actively choose to use Mac. Unless the company is forcing it at least.

Sure, it’s stopping some, but not most/all even with strong public opposition. See: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/small-missouri-to...

I don’t know a single engineer that has been terminated and replaced with AI. I know lots of engineers that were terminated due to shifting jobs offshore for cost savings, over hir…

NIMBY seems to have a hard time stopping data centers. Why do they have more success stopping renewables and rail?

AI still uses search engines though.

> It's costing a lot, it's not bringing much. It kinda depends on what you mean by “much”, but we’ve certainly had advances from the ISS in the last decade. Several experiments wit…

I feel like people have been saying AI was great for years now?

It’s amazing how often an LLM mocks or stubs some code and then writes a test that only checks the mock, which ends up testing nothing.

Is it the public’s job to police what your son does or is it your job?

It’s because the people that built and maintain the SPAs were beat into submission with the “SSR” bad message. Now people want them to do SSR again.

Out of curiosity would you prefer Windows or Linux instead of Mac?

The recommendations from this are surprisingly good.

Upload, download, latency, and how many options to choose from are what I looked for the last time I bought a house. I actually asked some of the neighbors about it and called loca…

My work email is virtually useless at this point due to the absurd quantities of spam I receive. I think the OP suggestions would actually make email less shitty. Any communication…

Email being so cheap and easy is is a significant component of spam, which is a technical problem to a degree. Spam on Signal, text message, voicemail, Discord, etc… is significant…

I’ve rented Teslas from Turo three times and the experience was seamless and delightful. The car was dropped off and picked up from my house and everything just worked. Phone keys,…

Predicting the future is literally a core upper management job duty. It was fairly obvious and should’ve been assumed that interest rates would eventually rise.

Isn’t over-hiring a form of management incompetence? Money was too cheap, tech companies are now slapped with larger debt servicing costs and a less captive audience. Growth focuse…

Just seems like bad practice for them to not scream test this first. Disable the databases for 48 hours, enable them for a week, then delete them. That would give people the same a…
