This isn't exactly what you were suggesting, but it made me think of https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/02/making-webassembly-a-first... since that article is about not needing to go through js to use wasm.
It’s not a recent thing. Search for 1872 here, https://www.purduegloballawschool.edu/blog/news/california-n...

Some form of a ban on noncompete enforcement in CA has existed since then.

It has long been codified in CA business code 16600, https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

I've used https://pairdrop.net/ before to share files between devices on the same LAN. It obviously wouldn't have to be a website, but it's pretty convenient since all my devices I wanted to share files on already have a browser.
I suspect they're saying ISPs doing it would be begging for censorship, not that your project is

At my place of work we use this great security too called Snyk. Definitely check it out

Re:Auto Chip Aging Accelerates in Hot Climates on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @12:42PM (#42452819)
I think it does sounds really bad. After one year, 26 years lifespan. We get that by doing:

30 - (30.1 - 1) = 26.

Doing that again for the next year: 26 - (26.1 - 1) = 22.4.

So you now have 22.4 years of life vs an expected 28.

etc...

Do you have a source? My experience is the opposite is often true
Re:Nxylon: New super-black material made from wood on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @01:54PM (#41183692)
I interpreted this along the lines of it not being a pigment, rather it's black because something about it's physical structure at a small scale causes light to not reflect back. Adding a thin coating of gold would not necessarily change that structure so it would continue not reflecting light.

^ pure conjecture

Hah, yeah that sounds like a good analogy
Just from the title it sounded like this was unusual. From reading the article it is not. It doesn't mean the next cycle is starting sooner than expected
From Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin who filed the lawsuit:

> Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.

Pretty scary/shocking if this is true

Also from the lawsuit:

>App store security scans don't flag Temu's risks, the complaint alleged, because Temu can "change its own code once it has been downloaded to a user’s phone"—which means it's essentially able to transform into malware once it is past the security checkpoint.

I really want to know if the above is actually possible? I would assume this would break code signing

What about more clickbait?

Is this a fact? Now that x is private do we know if they are profitable or not?

Re:Epic vs. Google: Google Loses on Tuesday December 12, 2023 @01:52PM (#38616581)
This was my intended meaning, thank you!

I wanted to point out that juries can make arbitrary decisions, nullification being a kind of example of this.

Re:Epic vs. Google: Google Loses on Monday December 11, 2023 @11:27PM (#38609482)
Juries are free to give arbitrary decisions, that is unrelated to precedent, which has more to do with how a judge interpreted a law.

Lookup "jury nullification" if you're curious to learn more about juries giving arbitrary decisions.

The darker roasts part is mentioned in the article too! It's because darker roasts have less internal water content to begin with since they have typically been roasted longer
Re:I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions on Monday November 20, 2023 @04:32PM (#38355135)
It's interesting how LLMs are prone to similar kinds of hallucinations
Based on the article that's not accurate. The article states:

"The RIAA’s claim totals $1,247,719.76 and is based on falsely claimed music of hundreds of artists."

The rest of the ~$3.3M in claims were made by other artists/labels.

The title has been editorialized in a way that is incorrect. The article states:

- Social media services must register; however, users do not.

- Online services that offer podcasts must register; however, individuals who use social media to share podcasts do not.

That to me clearly indicates that "podcasters" do not need to register.

I road BART on Tuesday and it wasn't scary. You repeating what you "heard" might just create an echo chamber that amplifies something that isn't true and gets other people to believe it.
I think fuzzy2 was saying other companies want to copy HPs maliciousness and also lock down their own cartridges. "advances" was referring to that maliciousness.
A minor clarification, it compares MDs to ACs. It says ACs are associate clinicians who have an amount training somewhere between a nurse and a doctor.

At least the way it's used in the US (I know hacker news is not only the US) a medical assistant is someone who has less training than a nurse and is often doing administrative work.

My understanding is that https://photopea.com (very handy for basic photoshopesque image manipulation) uses it
You can also tell probate court that you refuse the inheritance. You can't be forced to inherit something
You should read the article! You would get this in the case you'd described as well
I don't remember if you can crouch in it or not, but a game like https://warbrokers.io could definitely have a crouch mechanic, and it would make sense for it to use ctrl.
Re:Regulators Close New York’s Signature Bank on Monday March 13, 2023 @03:44PM (#35141359)
That's a really interesting comparison, I'd never heard of it. Crypto is definitely wild!

The main point I was trying to make was that people trying to make a buck off of the USDC depeg didn't need to wait until Monday morning. So I didn't think Monday morning would be particularly significant in that particular regard.
