Re:Cloudflare to introduce pay-per-crawl for AI bots on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @09:33AM (#44433763)
This ends up being pretty bad for competition because it does not block the largest AI scraper of them all: Googlebot.
Waymo was not doing public rides in 2015. It was invite only and you had to sign an NDA
AutoX and Pony.ai in China have been been offering rides to the public with no safety driver for much longer than Waymo
The overarching terms of the DMCA are specified by the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty, which every developed country has implemented.

That’s not true anymore with EFS Elastic Throughput

The gpt4-turbo api is now deterministic
They do actually, if they're roaming on a Canadian SIM
The consequence for not obliging with the online safety bill is pulling out from the UK market. The consequence for ignoring legally sound US court orders is Meta executives going to jail.
It's false. The OP is probably confusing it for the option of encrypting the backup with a 64-digit key (which is ~212 bits)
The DMCA is the US’s implementation of the 1996 WIPO copyright treaty, which almost the entire developed world has ratified.
Re:Tell HN: Domain fronting to be blocked on Azure on Saturday November 12, 2022 @09:16AM (#33573236)
It’s too late. Whole countries block all eSNI requests, so it’s always going to fail open.
FTX was making a killing, so its token that paid out trading fees was worth a lot. To bail out trading losses in Alameda, FTX sent it cash in exchange for a bunch of its own token. This might have worked out fine, except now the moment everyone expects FTX to go bankrupt, it's bankrupt.
In terms of CO2 per unit energy burning plastic is much worse than burning natural gas (and much much worse than any zero carbon source). Energy is fungible, there's no reason to encourage producing CO2 when it's possible not to.

> What I find intriguing is that E2EE was significantly more common long ago than it is today.

This is absurd. Today a large fraction of the world's population is using E2EE via WhatsApp.

Ironically this is exactly what they were trying to avoid by just requiring a Facebook account for everything
Re:WhatsApp Remote Code Execution in Video Call on Tuesday September 27, 2022 @02:05PM (#32998902)
Telegram implements video calling using bunch of sketchy C code same as WhatsApp and Signal. There's no reason to think it's less vulnerable these sort of bugs.

Notably on iOS there's no good way to isolate unsafe native libraries from the rest of your app without violating app store policies, because Apple enforces apps to be single process and doesn't allow use of its own sandboxing apis.
Why does efficiency matter at all? Tunneling costs thousands of times more than the energy cost.
Plenty of people rent single family units.
If companies can't own houses, and people can't own more than their primary residence, where should renters live?
Various product safety standards and some states' regulations requires the surface temperature of devices not exceed ~50°C
Uber stopped being able to punish drivers for cancelling due to the employee status lawsuits.
> Also, you can be sure that the driver doesn't live in poverty [1] or works ridiculous hours.

You absolutely can't. Taxi drivers are independent contractors in most european countries too, with no minimum wage protections or enforcement of hours worked.

Re:Google Cloud (Europe-west2) is experiencing downtime on Tuesday July 19, 2022 @02:30PM (#32155953)
Air conditioning emits less CO2 than heating. Emissions would be lower if europe was hotter and everyone had AC
Significant new pumped storage capacity requires building large new dams, which is even more unpopular in populated areas than building nuclear.
Re:Taking action against scraping for hire on Thursday July 07, 2022 @09:55AM (#32014136)
Users make information available on facebook with the expectation that they are able to later control access to it (other than the obvious threat model of screenshotting, etc). This is violating that expectation and thus their privacy.
Re:TITO: Electric Argentine car on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @05:22PM (#31829270)
The TITO is virtually identical to products from the Chinese white label EV manufacturer "Today Sunshine"[1]. I bet this is a made in China, assembled in Argentina type deal at best.

Re:LUMI, Europe’s most powerful supercomputer on Monday June 13, 2022 @02:56PM (#31729979)
A supercomputer comparable to mid-size hyperscaler DC. (and no, it doesn't have uniquely good interconnect, it's broadly on par with the HPC GPU instances available from AWS and Azure)
