Well thank you for atleast admitting your outrage is because of the #TwitterFiles articles.

Much information about a person is publicly available, that doesn't mean it's not doxxing when you gather it and broadcast it.

Whether you are finding someone's email, or real name, or jet location, or home address, and then announce it, you are doxxing them.

Re:Twitter restored ElonJet account on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @08:53PM (#33994009)
So you wouldn't mind your car being tracked and publicly broadcast?

It is just an automobile after all, and vehicles aren't citizens...

Cue fallback argument.

EDIT: added clarification to distinguish between Tweeting coordinates and Onstar services.

Re:Twitter restored ElonJet account on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @08:46PM (#33993939)
wait so you're saying doxing is on the same level as dissenting the government?

one thing is broadcasting personal information about a citizen, one is protecting a citizens right to object to actions by their government.

collecting public information is still doxxing. most doxxing involves only public information as it happens across the internet.

edit: a downvote is not a rebuttal, sorry, try again.

You realize that being pictured at a public event next to someone is different than flying to pedo island multiple times right?
Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @04:43PM (#33991023)
False. We were during and after Crimea.
Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @03:11PM (#33989643)
Ok? Everyone will make sure to ask your opinion before trusting others.

Nevermind we were depending on the Russians for space flights before Elon.

Please speculate about more people so I know what to think!

Jacquesm? Marxist? I can do that too.

Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @02:16PM (#33988574)
Want to sum up that E! news article?

Or can you not think for yourself?

Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @01:20PM (#33987488)
Hacker News slander mode activate!

It's funny seeing the civility break down in certain topics.

Emotion, speculation, and bias run wild.

Almost like a campaign...

Nevermind the actual pedos, noone demanding the client list to the island travelers.

Re:ElonJet Is Now Suspended on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @01:11PM (#33987329)
Or some people don't get worked up about a stalking jet account.

Yes being able to dissent the government about laptops or lab leaks or not rely o the russians to launch satellites or shuttle us to the space station is important as well.

Emotions and hyperboles when it fits here it seems. Reason comes second, if ever.

Everyone is still just pissy here because their liberal bubble is burst on Twitter.

I love Mastodon, now that it was accepted here the last month or so, why is everyone not on it yet?

What about stalking??

So you really think looking at a GPS and driving a car yourself and putting cruise control on makes a car self-driving?

(hint: no, you are driving the car with assisted technology)

I'll remember to cite this in the next Tesla thread when we discuss Autopilot and self-driving.

Re:Artificial intelligence is permeating business at last on Thursday December 08, 2022 @05:02AM (#33906234)
A pre-planned route != self-driving (in my opinion).

I say that because it's not driving itself, it's driving a route you plotted or recorded.

You can't take that same tractor and have it work on your neighbors pasture as-is, it has to be programmed.

But again, this is getting into a semantics debate. Personally I'd prefer to differentiate using autonomous and automated, self-driving is too ambiguous.

Re:Artificial intelligence is permeating business at last on Thursday December 08, 2022 @04:45AM (#33906137)
The tractor is still driving on a pre-programmed GPS route.

To avoid a semantics debate, I'll agree for a brief moment the AI is "driving" the tractor to avoid an object and get back on the pre-programmed route.

Re:Artificial intelligence is permeating business at last on Thursday December 08, 2022 @04:28AM (#33906032)
I get your sentiment, but tractors generally drive based on GPS routes.

AI and data collection is useful for more intricate tasks, like spraying weeds, planting seeds, etc.

Re:Open Source Hospital Price Transparency on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @01:02PM (#33884380)
Yes I did. Two hospitals being fined nearly two years ago != enforcing all hospitals posting full price lists.

You don't just "send a message" once, you fine hospitals not compliant, period. We do this for other regulations.

So at this rate maybe in 2040 most hospitals will post their prices, maybe. If everyone feels like following / enforcing the law.

Also, did you even read the guidelines?

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article.

Re: on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @12:54PM (#33884232)
Personally it looks more like a no-code tool as it doesn't really focus on the code aspect.

An IDE should have the text in the forefront, enable all the things an IDE normally does, as well as have a preview mode where you can visually edit.

A Dreamweaver for React.

In their defense it looks like they expect you to focus on the text part in your normal editor.

But at that point they should make this a VSCode extension or something.

Having your source being modified from two programs is... silly.

Re:Open Source Hospital Price Transparency on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @12:48PM (#33884141)
Won't work until the current administration enforces the law.

Hospitals are defying it and not posting prices with no repercussions.

You misunderstand. I'm saying if they didn't look at only the rural cells then there's not much point in using that to determine whether to award funding for providing rural broadband...

Just because there's a lot of people in highly populated cells that drag down the speed for people in those cells has nothing to do with the speeds of the lowly populated cells.

tldr; it makes no sense to average all cells together, as the goal is to improve the areas where existing infrastructure have failed in specific regions.

(and in those areas, where hughesnet, or viasat, or old DSL were the few options, Starlink does it's best)

Providing broadband to rural america, what this whole FCC broadband push has been about, concerns those cells where there aren't many people over a large spread of land, where towers and laying down lines doesn't make sense.

So if you take a cell that has LA in it, it will be much more congested than if you took a cell in Wyoming, or Nebraska.

Good for the FCC, but it's not very useful if the data is all from congested cities, I can't find where they list their sampling.

Starlink shines when it comes to rural/remote environments, not cities where towers and fiber can reach.

Side note, look at HughesNet and Viasat in their data, LOL!

edit: instead of downvoting if someone could find the sampling method?

Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @10:15PM (#33826307)
Brave has a built in adblocker for the user that is on by default.

Brave also has a rewards program the user can opt-in to get scheduled text notifications on their system.

I could see your point somewhat if their rewards system was opt-out or tied to whether the adblocker was on, but it's not.

Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @04:53PM (#33823441)
You are wrong, the built-in ad blocker does block first party ads in aggressive mode or if you manually add a rule.
Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @04:40PM (#33823232)
Classifieds can be useful, but if not wanted they can be a nuisance.

In that case you pay the $3 to remove them or don't use the service.

You say money grab, but in reality you need a way to pay for the system, nothing is free.

How would you support your search index without providing a subscription or ads?

This emotionalism is tiring. People here don't like Eich, it has nothing to do with Brave.

Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @02:15PM (#33821172)
You've never opened a newspaper up to the classifieds? Those are ads.

You may not know of a tree cutting service until you look there.

You may not know where to get a car part until you look there.

Having ads riddled throughout the internet is one thing, but having a directory where ads are supposed to be is another.

Yes billboards are annoying, that doesn't make classifieds equal.

(oh and you could just pay $3/mo or not use the service if you have no use for classifieds)

Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @02:11PM (#33821118)
Okay what problems in the whole ecosystem do you mean?

You stated your opinion, but you forgot to add your reasoning.

Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @01:57PM (#33820880)
I doubt that. They said replace ads, not add affiliates, those are different words entirely. The "ad replacing" is a common lie.

Just don't use Brave search, the separate product. Or you know, add the blocking rules yourself to the ad blocker, that works. Or you know, pay the $3 dollars to support the thing you use.

Most of the people complaining here don't actually care about this. This is all just a proxy war to go against Eich for his beliefs. It happens every Brave thread, pretty transparent and pathetic.

Re:Brave launches private search ads on Thursday December 01, 2022 @01:30PM (#33820441)
No they don't. They don't replace ads, that's a lie, stop repeating it here please.

The Brave rewards are system OS text notifications that you can OPT IN to.

In no way do they replace banner ads on websites.
