Bias Disclaimer: Amazon pays my salary currently, although my job doesn't have anything to do with datacenter construction. Maybe I missed it, but the article doesn't seem to say w…

While I agree with you in general, usernametaken29 made a specific prediction about OpenAI's IPO which is an event that will very likely happen in the next year or so. That said, O…

Let's be clear and not do this both sides thing - by "they" we mean Republicans. You may not agree with their policies or what they want to spend money on, but Democrats (at least …

Doesn't roblox use an anticheat that prevents the game client from running on linux? I thought nowadays the way to "run roblox on linux" involved using an android emulator.

Huh? Just to make sure I wasn't missing something, I checked and my GitHub account has only a TOTP app and hardware security key configured, no SMS/phone number. As a matter of fac…

The article author attemps to make a distintion between "burners" and "aliases" but I don't believe one exists for this usecase. Let's say for the sake of argument that you think b…

This analogy is bad: Nobody is going to die or get food poisoning because their old browser doesn't work on a website. A better analogy would be a restaurant deciding not to cater …

What if the grocery store has a security camera pointed at the door that records 24/7? Should they not be allowed to do that?

Doesn't the company behind ProxMox sell enterprise support?

You mean the same Brave that's only going to offer "limited MV2 support" for five hand chosen extensions because they aren't able of truly keeping it alive? https://brave.com/blog/…

I feel like root cause #2 should be titled "Our API is poorly designed". If you pass nothing into the API, it doesn't give you an error? Is this even a valid use case - why is it e…

> Same with most people "doing a startup" or "opening a restaurant". While I mostly agree with your sentiment, I think there is an important difference. Unless you are attempting a…

These AI slop articles about AI are getting especially boring to read. > Problem 1: It Devours the Context Window Don't harnesses support progressive discovery these days? Claude (…

I see a bullet point for "1.0 days of 1.3 days", and when I mouse over the previous day (Wedensday 2025-11-19), I see "7.8 hours of 1.3 days". I haven't actually checked any source…

Anything on the site? Yes. Anything at all? No - Polymarket themselves make the markets (and I think they have some partners that can make markets as well, but point is some random…

Do you have a link to the mastodon interaction where they threatened you with legal action? I ask because I'd be pretty disappointed in GrapheneOS over that kind of thing and it'd …

Can a theoretical strong enough quantum computer break PFS?

What does "92% of the way" mean? 92% of what? How is that percentage measured?

So we're worried about cops violating civil liberties by not getting a warrant, but we'd rather they go harass random (potentially innocent) civilians to do investigations?

Why dodge the question? Clearly they care today, and I live in today. If we're doing to defer to industry, does only the opinion of website operators matter, or do browsers and CAs…

But skills where you tell the LLM to shell out to some random command are safe? I'm not sure I understand the logic.

Would this article not be evidence the part of the industry that makes up the CA/B Forum (i.e. CAs and Browsers) disagree?

Is massive capital expenditure not also required to enforce the GPL? If some company steals your GPLed code and doesn't follow the license, you will have to sue them and somebody w…

I don't know for sure because I don't live in Tampa, but it is generally free (minus the opportunity cost of your time) for these types of tickets, no lawyer or other expense requi…

No, the real law is what's written by the Tampa/Florida legislature (or I guess you could say the "real real" law is judges' interpretations of what is written). While it may be in…
