World order? I don't think a shift from being dependent on a resource that's not unlimited isn't unreasonable and may even be proactive.

Don't self-hosted images in the email signature allow you to track whether the email was opened or not and potentially where it was opened? I can only imagine they want you to pay for that privilege as a service.

From what I'm reading on the shortage, they are very aware of this fact (prices being highly cyclical) and they're trying to avoid overproducing RAM to avoid the oversupply glut. That's probably going to hurt the chance of prices coming down anytime soon.

In my opinion, get the Flint 2, the Flint 3 doesn't work with vanilla OpenWRT (but it does work with GL.iNet's OpenWrt fork). Then again, I don't need the 5x2.5G ports or Wifi 7 since my internet only goes to 1G.

So the choice becomes to either 1) Use the AI tools as much as you can before they increase prices/tighten usage or 2) Stop using them so you won't be compelled to pay more later when the price inevitably goes up/your regular plan gets downgraded?

I would think companies would set the usage low and increase it with capacity rather than subsidizing the power users and going into the red. Maybe my strategy wouldn't be aggressive enough to capture the market, which I'm sure the major AI companies are trying to do.

Interestingly, I started coding with Claude a couple weeks ago (with my only other experience being vbcode 20 years ago) and it's been surprisingly good at starting code from scratch but as soon as the code gets a little complex it takes a lot of tokens to make a simple change which makes it somewhat impractical for all but the most basic applications. That said, I'm not referring to objects by inspecting the code and asking for changes to certain lines, I'm saying "In the results bar, change the title of the result to a clickable link that directs to X." which may require a little translation before Claude picks up on what I want. Even so, I was able to build a somewhat usable application within a week (minus a few bugs).

Does Google allow a privacy card that you can control whether an account is connected to it or not? That wouldn't help if someone racked up a ton of charges and Google bills daily, though.

Serial numbers are security theater on the same level as TSA checkpoints at the airport.

David Tennant was a great Doctor Who. It's definitely still a good show and I'm sure they didn't swap out the entire production cast between those seasons to 'wokify' it.

Reminds me of this quote... “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.”

*290 people. Mistook an Airbus A300 for an F-14. Maybe it's an easy mistake to make on radar back in the day?

Aside from it being an unstable store of value, but that's a problem with all cryptos (and stablecoins, when they collapse).

This checks out. "Miles Between Accidents: Based on an average rate of ~0.74 per million miles, this equates to roughly one accident for every 1.35 million miles driven."

That seems low. Is it a corporate strategy to set a low salary and when nobody local fills it (because it's below the competitive rate) they get to hire H1-B?

The breadcrumb trail ends when the funds are exchanged for a privacy coin like Monero.

I search for opinions on crypto in HN because I don't see enough dissenting opinions in the spaces I frequent. The fervor is so intense and nobody is thinking, just throwing money at it. I like my portfolio going up, I just don't think it's backed by reason nor is it sustainable.

Created 6 minutes ago to shill for some cryptos? HN won't like this. Wish I could flag but it's not available yet.

I can confirm this as I worked with a cleaning contractor for their offices and met the cops that were paid to work the night shift watching for trespassers.

They have to be a non-profit too? Isn't that an unreasonably high bar?

You can easily check databases on and off the darknet to find people's phone numbers and most people don't have multiple phone numbers and rarely change their number because of the associated hassle with moving accounts. The same goes for their email and even passwords if they reused them.

"Instead they perform a mock trial of God for allowing the massacre. The verdict is innocent, after a stirring lone defence by a stranger who, in a twist, is revealed to be the Devil." - That sounds like an episode of the twilight zone! Intriguing!

Who's making the money? The advertisers threatening to pull out? Is it because they don't want to advertise on videos that spread misinformation? I thought they could control what videos their ads appear on. This seems more like political pressure.

I think he's trying to say that regulation will discourage conflicts of interest even if they don't entirely prevent it. The key point is that right now people are able to do things they couldn't in traditional markets that they can do in the crypto market and there are no penalties for it.

It's due to the low circulating supply and even lower supply available on exchanges. This is why prices fluctuate so much. Less liquidity = greater volatility.

I disagree. How is Tiktok different from Vine or YTMND aside from different video formats, editing tools and a catalogue of songs? I understand they were able to monetize it unlike the other two but they seem very much the same.

I believe Civic is working on a sort of identity verification blockchain integration but I haven't heard much come out of the space as of yet. In fact, I think it might dissuade people who don't want their identity linked to their crypto transactions.

The Interplanetary File System is a good start for decentralizing websites. https://docs.ipfs.io/

I'm waiting to hear from the rest of HN, I've been curious about decentralized websites for a while.

The biggest evidence for this is the amount of liquidity in exchanges which is often less than 5% across the board. This means if everyone tries to cash in, only 5% will be able to recoup everything.

Of course, the price will go down as people cash in but I guarantee some individuals/organizations have 5% of many cryptos and Satoshi (whoever she/he/they are) currently has almost that much Bitcoin.

It's not the phones, it's how they're using them. If they used them to look at youtube videos and read books as you did they would probably prepare themselves well enough they could get into that college they want.
