Re:When It's Not Just a Coup but a CFAA Violation Too on Wednesday February 05, 2025 @12:23PM (#42951926)
I have heard that the statute of limitations for CFAA violations is 5 years.

Can anyone please confirm?

So did Hitler.

Letting users pause a Reels video. Hard to believe this wasn't case all along.

This is user hostile:

"Previously, users have only been able to pause videos on Instagram Reels by tapping and holding on their screen."

Re:Morro Bay moves to block new battery plants after fire on Friday January 31, 2025 @10:19AM (#42888526)
Fighting chemical fires has a very long history.

This sounds like armchair firefighting and not a good argument for locating this facility in Morro Bay.

>you can just shove calcium-rich sand over the fire with bulldozers and wait.

Is this a standard firefighting technique? Has it ever happened before?

Wrong - please provide a source.

The pilot's wife has released photos.

This is racist and unacceptable - please delete this comment.

Your comment underscores the point of my comment.
LOL

>sound more indignant or "called out" than anything else.

Yes - some people are very defensive regarding their phones.

This underscores the point of the article.

Agreed - it is worth a close read.

"On a lighter note, aren’t we all so sick of looking stuff up? You know what, maybe I go to a restaurant and it’s bad. Maybe I don’t know what’s good on the menu before I get there. Maybe I throw caution to the wind and put something in the dishwasher without googling if it’s dishwasher safe. Maybe I get a flip phone and get comfortable saying, “I don't know.” While you’re looking down at Google Maps, the love of your life is walking past you on the street. To feel sexy, we need risk and spontaneity. Our phones kill both."

They used to have a Missed Connections section of the classified ads in newspapers.

It was fun to read them.

"Phones used to be sexy:

A call from an unknown number. A little black book. Your heart pounding as you checked your answering machine. Calling someone from a payphone. Hearing someone say, “It’s for you.” This was romance."

The pilot survived the ejection and is in stable condition.
The Reddit thread has supposed screen shots of the email:

This could amount to $50 billion (based on a median income of $70k/yr).

This requires Congressional approval.

>President can reliably promise under current law, as opposed to needing Congressional involvement?

I don't think so and your question was not addressed in the article.

Seems like very biased and irresponsible reporting.

>Does it apply to people dismissed because the President demanded to know how they voted and didn't like the answer?

Good point - I would expect they get nothing.

Does a budget for the payouts exist?

If not, this is a misleading headline.

I am offering the generally accepted definitions of these terms as some HN readers might not be familiar with them.

If you don't think that ML is AI, I am fine with that.

I think this is a weak analogy.

What benefit is gained by allowing AI companies to train on your content? LLMs work on a token by token basis.

AI is the broader concept.

ML is an application of AI.

The odds a pretty good if the people running the server work for an intelligence agency.
Agreed. Some commenters where pretty upset about the tarpits the last time this was posted on HN.

Walmart is well subsidized by US taxpayers as many of its workers receive food stamps.
