Just another dime-a-dozen story about rubes getting fleeced by the casino owner-operators of the current day. They could have written something similar 50 years ago, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be seeing more of the same 50 years hence.
I agree. We want to expect competence at all levels of the private and especially public sectors, but we're only able to insist upon it in a few key areas (aerospace, medical devices, etc.)
It is funny to see the same story every time. It's all burdensome regulation by the nanny state until something goes very very wrong and the public wants answers NOW, at which point it's incompetent government getting led by the nose by monied interest groups and their public relations departments.
This is a reasonable question. Not everyone can do a full audit of the codebase, regardless of how open the source is.
No one would classify AWS as a single service. The name is literally "Amazon Web Services".
What we're seeing now is a smash and grab before the midterms.
usb superposition. my favorite of the classic phenomena
That's why Musk and Trump and Shapiro and their ilk were complete nonentities on the platform before 2022 /s
Same. Those colors were an intentional (and effective) choice
Imagine being an adult human but not being able to extract a tiny chuckle from such a silly thing.
Thought of this immediately after reading the parent comment. I was actually pretty shocked at how seamless the whole project was.
> Sure some creeps will use them and with that in mind Apple has the possible ability to solve that privacy issue as they are a privacy company (all pics and vids taken thru APple glasses faces not in your network are randomize/anonymized).
This is it's own distopian nightmare. No one exists in the world but those you've asserted you've met. What if you meet someone who was in the background of a picture from childhood? Can you never take your pictures from apple?
Their stupidity is a true threat to our lives. Regardless of how you want to classify it we need to remove it as a threat.
Have you ever gone fishing? Did you catch all the fish?
Often it is more impactful to address one major/tangible player in a particular space than it would be to "boil the ocean" and ensure that we are capturing every possible player/transgressor. I agree that some of the video was overly breathless, but if that's what wakes people up to the dangers of unsecured cameras/devices then so be it.
The purpose of the website is to sell ad space. The recipe brings you to the site. The story keeps you there longer and makes more space for more ads.
That people consolidated their business atop VMware's hypervisor, got screwed by Broadcom, and as a result are moving everything to Nutanix (from whom they need to buy the hypervisor, the compute stack, the storage stack, etc.) is insane to me.
Its a data gathering system. it takes pictures of everything that goes past it so that IF something happens, cops can search back through the system to see if/when a suspect went past that sensor. This sort of thing should be turned off regardless. I don't want my movements recorded and tracked all the time in the off chance someone might do something later. This ICE situation is the perfect example of why these actively passive systems are a threat.
You're good. The speed of light through a glass fiber is still just as slow as it ever was.
If there was a solution for sun-yellowed (originally white) Lego bricks I would be a major user!
I am also not getting any flat-earthers or young earth creationists. Am I in a bubble?
Campaign contributions are being used for paying down the expenses of the campaign? What an outrage!!!!!!
Just imagine if those funds had instead been used to give the candidate's family members cushy six figure "jobs", or if one of their PACs was burning 5 million dollars a month on the candidate's private legal fees [1] to the tune of well over 100 million dollars in aggregate [2]. That would be truly beyond the pale and I am certain that hard working responsible fiscally conservative persons would be outraged at such naked corruption.
And it would be significantly worse if those aggressive donation emails were designed to systematically trick people into weekly recurring donations when they were only intending to make a one time contribution [3]. Shenanigans indeed!

Real talk though, of the two major parties in the US: one party is significantly flawed, the other has installed the most obviously unfit excuse for a human as president and is using every ounce of power that it can seize to make that man an unlimited king. He has deployed the military on US soil in peacetime to disappear the homeless; has prioritized sending masked goons onto the streets to snatch men, women, children, regardless if they are elderly or the infirm, at which point they are forced into concentration camps and/or deported to some foreign gulag without an ounce of due process. The economy is in free fall for regular people, the country's top infectious disease experts are being railroaded for having the audacity of knowing things, our crown jewel research infrastructure is being decimated at the same time that the government is taking large ownership stakes in public companies.
If a person can't see the forest for the trees here then the whole idea of America was completely lost on them from the jump. Regardless we're all going to miss it when it's gone.
I watched the guy throw up a couple of nazi salutes while standing onstage after using his immense wealth to buy an election and a place in the government from which he caused immeasurable damage and engaged in outrageous corruption.
Then there's the union busting, the kneecaping of public transit projects, the environmental damage to protected areas caused by spacex dumping wastewater, the people being poisoned by the exhaust from xai datacenters, and so on.
Those "outrageous things he says and does" are beyond the pale and people are absolutely correct to judge him negatively for it.
I'd go so far to say that folks defending Musk are - wittingly or unwittingly - beyond the pale and the rest of us are absolutely correct to judge them negatively for it.
"Tastiest steaming pile at the dog park" is a curious honor to wrap one's champion in but perhaps I'm not the target audience
"Heads I win, tails you lose" combined with "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further." This is what passes for American diplomacy these days apparently.
Not needing to route cables (or wires) along and/or through the bike frame is a huge improvement. Anecdotally, everyone I know that has adopted Di2 seems to love it. The cost of these systems is negligible for the type of buyer who is shopping for high-end groupsets.
This administration has zero ability to build or bring people together, able only to destroy what others have made. On the bright side, it isn't effective until December 31, 2026 so there is plenty of time to chicken out.
They really should call it "souris sans frontières" a la Doctors without borders
Windows can do this via Text Extractor In PowerToys. Unbelievably useful utility that I use all the time.
A lot of people don't want to patronize the businesses of an unabashed Nazi sympathizer. There are more important things in life than model output quality.
