iCloud Private Relay clone, implemented worse (no cryptographic privacy to the first hop, as Private Relay does it, AFAICT). Apple always does it first, and possibly best.

Even if Google releases a decent AI, they won’t be able to monetize it as effectively as search ads. Further, training and serving an LLM is now much, much cheaper than running a real search engine. Billions of dollars worth of datacenters

Unions: organizations whose sole purpose is to acquire a monopoly on the means of production. They’re parasites, but corporations are worse. Don’t let either ever gain the upper hand.

One owner already found a crack in their cast: https://www.thedrive.com/news/tesla-model-y-owner-finds-scar... . Relatedly, I'll pass on owning a car designed by someone who is mentally unstable.

I hope the Bazel plugin works with this. And I hope there is at least one Jetbrains IDE where I can work on C++, Python and Rust at the same time.

What is the effect of this approach in winter? The opposite? Losing heat from the sun that would otherwise help heat the building?

I love the material here, but it's mistitled. This isn't about computer science, it's about computers. The introduction doesn't even display much knowledge about the definition of computer science, claiming it's &qu

Why promote roof top solar when grid solar is substantially cheaper? Is it for emergency preparedness?

California is dying. Climate change is killing it. It’s not a growth state, unless perhaps you’re counting the homeless population.

The NYPD promises an officer will respond to a noise complaint within 8 hours, and only if there are no other emergencies. That’s a terrible SLA. A drone can probably respond to five calls an hour since it doesn’t get stuck in traffic. Reco

Why doesn't Apple build a custom TEE to do DRM playback, and authenticate the display as well? That seems like a better solution.

Twitter need distributed editorship. If a tweet is inflammatory, viral, or incorrect, a group of respected users can suppress it or edit them to remove bait headlines. This would be similar to the Wikipedia editor model. Editors can be elec

The word is spot on for a union, see https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/collusion.asp : "Collusion occurs when entities or individuals work together to influence a market or pricing for their own advantage.&

Unions are form of collusion/price fixing where employees attempt to gain a monopoly on labor and raise wages/rents above market rate. However, this form of antitrust is not illegal because corporations, were they people, would be

Starlink latency is still too high, and goodput is too low, especially as they oversubscribe their service. This will help a bit, but it’s no panacea for Starlink’s woes.

What percentage of bad drivers on the roads in SF are actually autonomous vehicles? There aren't many of them, but they're driving around _all_ the time.

Do terrible drivers drive as much as Cruise does? Terrible drivers at least eventually get better through practice. Having 100 poorer than average driving autonomous cars in the streets driving around 24x7 is a net worsening. Autonomous car

Usually on family road trips you don't get to decide when you're going to stop for a bio break. So with an EV you end up stopping twice (or more). With an ICE there is usually a gas station at the first stop.

My dashcam saves every incident I see of a bicyclist running a stop sign, and stopping. I record without fail. The ratio is about 10:1. And you can’t observe an urban Critical Mass ride and say, with a straight face, that they’re not behav

I don’t think it breaks down like this. It’s the biking which makes them assholes. And these assholes can actually cause accidents. So it’s not consequence free. What is it about biking which causes this transformation of personality? Is it

Most (80%) urban bicyclists ride like assholes. Blowing through stop signs, red lights, cutting across traffic, not yielding to pedestrians. Drivers can be bad too, but for every terrible driver I see 10 obnoxious cyclists. Maybe drivers ma
