how does that assumption work? I would have thought that assumption would lead one to care less.
A 31 year old plane. This is more likely a delta issue than Boeing's.
My answer is Yes.

Re:Brute.Fail Watch brute force attacks in real time on Saturday June 03, 2023 @12:54PM (#36178244)
I agree, these attacks are looking for systems that have pretty default security, and by running on a different port you avoid all this automated chaos because you're non default now. Like scam emails with typos, a way to filter out the naïve people.

Same for Australian English.
Auto pilot in a plane will still fly you into whatever is in front of you.

Re:Cname cloaking, a disguise of third-party trackers on Sunday November 24, 2019 @07:30PM (#21624552)
What if there were restrictions on these with regards to ttl, it would put the burden back on the trackers, they wouldn't be able to swap and change them as quick and very quickly run out of options.

I think if you a machinist/mechanical eng you possess this trait, you have almost all the tools to make other machines that make new machines, but this is is kind of limited to this one discipline, whereas software we can almost build anything. In a previous profession I learnt this great lesson where we would occasionally build specific tools for specific jobs if we didn't have the correct machines to save sending parts out to be machined or even for doing backyard jobs.
Re:Instagram to test hiding like counts in the US on Saturday November 09, 2019 @01:47PM (#21493397)
I almost think the like counts being visible to the creator is also detrimental. When you post something you get that happy feeling seeing the like count of it, it makes you feel good and then you keep checking on it regularly which is a problem, and why I don't post anymore.
These cars aren't even remotely comparable when you look at performance.

It has to be an add, if they could download the app they surely could've sent their location to someone
It does exactly what autopilot does in a plane. Which will slam into anything in its path.
For anyone wondering this is the source dictionary of the look command.
As much as I hate targeted advertising, which leaves you in a silo, categorised, with no hope of ever seeing an ad for something you would buy but didn't know existed.

But if drive past a billboard or there's a poster on the door you're going through, you'll still see this and it will probably bring up bad feelings. Is that correct? Or is it just that the targeted ones are trying to be more personal, whilst getting it so wrong?

Junkies keep going back even though they are trying their hardest to stop too.

Go buy a sim from another state and then you know not to answer any of those calls.

Re:Ask HN: How can I become a self-taught software engineer? on Sunday December 17, 2017 @05:10PM (#15947969)
In that line of thinking this askhn basically makes it impossible for op. Like going and buying a self-help book is getting help (thanks George C.)
But `we` won't eat gmo food?
This is more of a backup lesson.
My response to this person would be:

well you're going to have to restore from backup.

Oh you don't have a backup? Why not? (Some excuse) LOLZ

It's a shame the author polarizes having fun and learning. I've always thought of them as the same.

This isn't sustainable, these antics of these companies are basically negating any positive thing you try and do for the environment
