Russia has a history of raping, pillaging, and stealing land from their neighbors with NATO acting as the only (somewhat) successful defense against that so far. Your idea of ‘cont…

These are all points that were brought up in the article as to why voice recording is less useful than all of the other tracking mechanisms advertisers have available

It’s been very common in official NYC taxis for awhile now. But you can shut off the displays during the ride.

OPs point is funnily accurate if you’d like to consider a certain ‘real-estate’ person in government could stand to benefit from the buildings being sold at the lowest price (recov…

Awhile back I worked with someone who wrote a script to scroll through ebooks he purchased, screenshot each page and then aggregate the screenshots into a single PDF file. The simp…

I can't change the title, but if it's worth changing, someone will do it or it will just be resubmitted. I think "new" would make sense and I accidentally conflated them also writi…

The article title is: "Energy Department Acts to Lower Prices and Increase Consumer Choice with Household Appliances", which says nothing of substance. The only part of the article…

> The title of the submission is nowhere in line with what the linked page even talks about. Flagging for our right lying. All the press release mentions is that they are not movin…

I mostly understand what you’re saying and I hope I didn’t come across as saying serverless is *never* a good idea. In my experience it’s just very often not the best choice. I wil…

Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time talking engineers and managers out of using serverless AWS options for various reasons. I’ve found that most non-infra focused engineers and…

I just moved to Oakland and pay $50/month for 10 Gbps fiber with Sonic. I thought that was just the norm here after staying in a few SFH BnBs in the area that all had the same. I’m…

Where is this mythical “working poor” that drives into midtown Manhattan everyday for work? Do you have any stats whatsoever on the number of people who would be impacted? Maybe ev…

They do value your privacy! They just don’t like to share how many cents its worth to them

Interesting how a guy whose entire administration is being investigated and indicted by the FBI ran almost entirely on a ‘law and order’ platform, with this pilot being one of the …

Google owns the platform and the ad network / marketplace. A lot of videos ‘lose’ money and just take up space. Any viable competitor to YouTube would need a solution that allows s…

If your threat model is the NSA and you’re worried about backdoors then don’t use any cloud provider? Maybe I’m just jaded from years doing this, but two things have never failed m…

Wasn’t Tesla pushing the whole robotaxi ‘coming soon’ thing as early as 2015? I wouldn’t say the focus has really shifted since then

You’ve done nothing but submit half a dozen random extensions in the 3 weeks that all collect different personal information on browsing history at a minimum. Your README’s look AI…

Ah yes, we should completely trust the anonymous person who registered to the site 23 days ago and has done nothing other than submit half a dozen chrome extensions to the site sin…

In my experience, it’s extremely difficult to get out of the SES sandbox, for what I presume is if your account/org is under a certain amount of spend with them. While basically fr…

The city would extend a no-bid contract to run a 6-month pilot in a 3 block radius. It’d go to a random company that never did anything related to trash pick up, but one of the boa…

A couple of other people answered you already in a lot of detail, so I don’t have much to add there. But I do recognize that really is a legitimate question and it feels like Yubi …

A Yubikey used in that way is still more efficient and secure than every other option. Someone would need to physically take your laptop, unlock it, and get your account passwords …
