Nowhere BUT the US puts you in that bracket.

I mean, having done quite a bit of rotoscoping work in high school, if you can start from the output of this plugin and refine a little, you’re absolutely still saving hours. It was still most of the way there.

I assumed civil forfeiture meant they wouldn’t get returned, and probably get destroyed after some delay. I’m curious too…

On one hand, I obviously can’t legitimately expect the manufacturers of these things to support their older hardware offerings ad vitam aeternam.

On the other, it’s a freaking thermostat controller. An appliance. I don’t want to have to replace appliances before they break, and software breaking it is unacceptable.

I’ve been largely holding off on domotics because so much of it reeks of premature obsolescence... Maybe someone over here has good experience with Home Assistant et al?

Plenty of people were making this argument. The main difference is the previous presidents didn’t fill their cabinet with literal neofascists.

So this is what HN has become, climate denialism and bundling pop science headlines with “scientists”. Jesus.

There are two links, and they were the first two I found in a 2 minute search, which you could, and should, have done yourself before forming the opinion that women as a whole are not pushing for trades jobs. It's pretty clear at this point that you formed the opinion first.

The push exists, if you bother looking for it at all.

I legitimately don't understand this sentiment. If cloning software is really as easy as you say it is nowadays, the only difference between our own agent stack, the small scrappy indie devs, and commercial software companies, is who pays for the tokens.

Assuming this, I see even LESS of a reason NOT to have a wide array of open versions we can all hack our way from. We'll collectively have to invest less if we have an open base to work from. Reinventing the wheel doesn't stop being reinventing the wheel because an LLM did it.

I don't know how it is in Europe, but here in Canada, looking at grocery stores in isolation makes little sense when most of the market is controlled by a handful of vertically integrated conglomerates. On top of the stores, they own a lot of the distribution, wholesale operations, real estate, and even some suppliers. Their own financials show record revenue and profit, year after year, and their margins have increased significantly over the last few years too. We can't reduce the economics of such integrated corporate groups to their retail net margins alone to judge profitability. As far as Canada goes, small margins my ass.

The question is will it hurt them enough before it's too late for your collective choices to matter more than Thiel and friends' wealth and power. I have serious doubts. It's pretty obvious that the existing checks and balances in this country's constitution simply do not work as they were assumed to function, if at all.

That's pretty par for the course - at least, as far as authoritarian regimes go. It's getting very difficult to think of the US as anything but, at this point.

It's got an editor, a debugger, code intelligence, a debugger, terminal, task running, test explorer, refactoring tools, project management, and so on. What's an IDE if not a text editor with bells and whistles?

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't help with preventing regressions. In the end, as the author already puts it, it's an integration test in the end, why not just write the integration tests directly?

For them to die in the shootout, you have to assume there was actual intent to execute said shooting.

The "most businesses" small and medium businesses are by large not the Monopoly men owning significant capital.

The same could be said of any digital product being sold. Nobody actually loses anything but the actual sale either when you download a cracked game or piece of software, a movie, music, etc.

Why would we even ever distribute software again, by this logic?

This is run-of-the-mill neofeudalist techbro belief. Peter Thiel is a big fan.

This description is downplaying what's changing by a lot. The way you present it, they're merely adding a 24h wait time to the existing local "unknown sources" toggle.

They've been chipping away at AOSP for years, pulling more and more parts of the Android experience into their proprietary Google Play Services. In this case, they're doubling down in the same direction. Sure, it may be more or less transparent from a user-facing perspective, but it's a fundamental change to the model.

Previously, it was ultimately a local decision: Android warned you, you enabled the permission, and you installed the APK. It now becomes dependent on a Google-controlled verification/authorization mechanism. That's fundamentally different from making the existing "unknown sources" toggle more annoying.

Given Google's track record, I don't think it's just "being upset" to have serious doubts about the probability of this escape hatch staying indefinitely.

The actual mistake is pretending like they can't leverage those shares to access fiat, for example securities-backed loans. The proceeds aren't taxable income, the bank gets its interest, and the latter is typically substantially cheaper than realizing the shares and paying capital gains tax. Meanwhile, they keep the assets, which on average continue appreciating.

Fully agree. Installing software is installing software, signed or unsigned, app store or not.

I would be surprised if wages in most of those countries were not lower overall, not just for doctors.

Politically correct for this type of ultra-religious zealot just means things they don't believe in. I don't believe he thinks of the children of muslims as real people. The guy is a fanatic who is, from his point of view, on a literal crusade for America.

OpenAI has hit $1bil in annualized revenue since launching ads in February. AI search optimization is already a thing. I don't see much of a reason to assume they aren't already getting served information coming from what's essentially advertisements/sponsored content.

It only solves half the equation - being able to host the pictures somewhere. Getting the work seen is the other half, and arguably the most important for such artists. Most people are not fumbling on their personal website without getting to see the work in the first place.

It's also a workaround, and completely misses the point.

It doesn't map nearly as well for those of us who regularly have temperatures under -17C/0F in the winter. For me Celsius maps a LOT better to the temperatures I actually deal with year round. -17C is, accounting for wind chill, an average-ish winter day, that I'd consider pretty comfortable at this time of the year, assuminv appropriate clothing.

This is exactly what often happens
