Looks like they were moved to the Ozzie subfolder: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0-ozzie
The concept and visualization reminds me a lot of similar technology in the TV show Person of Interest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person_of_Interest_(TV_serie...

It's quite interesting to think about how relevant the themes being discussed in that show are ever present today.

All the features you mentioned are part of regular (included) Autopilot, not Enhanced, or FSD.
Re:How WhatsApp is enabling end-to-end encrypted backups on Saturday September 11, 2021 @02:48PM (#28494689)
HSMs typically will have a fixed number of login attempts that reset only on successful login.

If the password verification attempts are passed through directly to the HSM, then yes, this is standard.

Do you mean, we won't have another situation, if FB continues its hard stance towards unauthorized data collection?

Cause otherwise, I don't see how they could have another Cambridge Analytica situation if what they're doing is sharing _less information_.

Re:Facebook banning thousands of people for 200M years on Saturday June 19, 2021 @09:12PM (#27566107)
Is it still happening? Seems to have been resolved for my friend that was hit.
For security purposes, likely all prior entries are kept on hand with the time, for some retention period, before being wiped.
Do you mean Apple, whose usage of the PSL caused this?
Oculus feels fine to me, more comfortable then the index at least. Though for the index I've switched to prescription lenses which is obviously the most comfortable choice.
Re:Google AMP – A 70% drop in our conversion rate on Sunday March 21, 2021 @05:12AM (#26529157)
Wrong link/title? Title seems to match something posted 2 hours before this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26528385
Re:Iconic L.A. bookshop is housed in an abandoned bank on Sunday March 21, 2021 @05:08AM (#26529142)
Checking the uploader, it seems to be the same.
Works great now!
This us cool, it seems to ignore the start and destination I give it though, and the Google Maps API key seems to have errors.
Unless it's hidden under the paywall fold, I don't see the article mentioning that's what's planned?

(Missing the -with-kotlin at the end)

Pattern matching is distinct from switch cases, this is where the "odd" behavior people are taking issue with stems from. If it were a switch case statement, the case behavior would behave differently.

True, but it's a lot easier if the capital itself is a palindrome as it saves you space to meet the other conditions (or just use a short city name).
Re:Facebook sued for ‘losing control’ of users’ data on Tuesday February 09, 2021 @12:45PM (#26080400)
I agree, but part of it I think is more finely grained permission requests. ie. Distinguishing viewing X's data, vs viewing data as X. That still doesn't solve the issue where the typical person doesn't actually read permission requests, but should still provide better security.
Re:Deleting Facebook on Monday February 08, 2021 @10:25AM (#26065733)
Did you mean to reply to the parent comment?

But also, going by your logic, whatever is going on here is because something was depirioritized in favour of profit. The issue with that though, is that improper deletion would be detrimental to metrics in my opinion, not positive.

Re:Deleting Facebook on Monday February 08, 2021 @08:54AM (#26064438)
Thinking about this from an implementation perspective, I don't see how it would help any metrics and there's probably better explanations for what's going on then a purposeful dark pattern.
Re:Deleting Facebook on Monday February 08, 2021 @08:54AM (#26064420)
This is more likely the case then some conspiracy against users.

According to the GitHub, which appears to be a metaprogramming library by the same author.

I think my deliveries are made by Amazon directly in most cases, and I've never seen an option to tip. Only time I've seen it is for Amazon Fresh orders.

Re:Weird compiler bug – Same code, different results on Friday January 29, 2021 @04:52PM (#25963144)
Things like rounding mode and denornal behavior could be controlled by CPU flags. Imy not familiar with x86, but this is defiy the case in PPC.
The reviews and market would beg to differ.
It's a much harder problem then it appears. Similarly to security, it's a cat and mouse game with the people who are trying to game the system, and developing solutions to catch them without too many false positives.
Re:Sales of electric cars up by 43% in 2020 on Monday January 25, 2021 @02:18AM (#25900279)
Ah, this makes sense (as do the other responses, likely a combination of factors).

It had slipped my mind that people would still need to make (typically shorter range) trips for groceries and other critical things.

Re:Sales of electric cars up by 43% in 2020 on Sunday January 24, 2021 @11:13PM (#25899014)
Vaguely curious why this is the case, if people are respecting the pandemic.
