New York neutered the power of appointed officials and authorities after Robert Moses. As the other poster mentioned, the post-Vietnam Church committee was a democratic party-led, bipartisan committee that effectively heeled the CIA and exp

That was very relevant in some scenarios. When Spectrum was fighting with Netflix, they would force Netflix traffic to a peer circuit that was under provisioned as a shakedown tactic. Fast.com would detect that, and you could bypass that no

You’re thinking tactically. I actually thing the democrats will try to put the Trumpist stuff back in the box. They may not be able to. The rule of law requires trust and that’s gone, and will only be rebuilt by time. The reactionary Suprem

They both matter. All of the typewriters in the world doesn’t produce a play until you find the right monkey.

100% I’ve used iPhone voice dictation for years. My voice has r changed, but its speech to text makes me sound like a stroke victim. AutoCorrect is not quite as bad, but it’s definitely regressed over the years.

The pitch from some people is the wealth will lift all of the boats, etc. Rich people have fewer kids. Reality is 1984 style. You’ll have the party, soldiers and a proles. A modern version of what the Romans or some medieval societies did.

The companies that have real boards would never take the risk. Once Elon’s air cover is blown, the government is going the dissect Tesla. Once someone gets the injunction to stop deletion of crash data and allow for inspection, they are coo

No, it’s available to anyone. Most tow trucks and parking garages have them, and there are massive private networks.

I'm not making any subjective or moral judgement. I'm an american who lives and works in the US, so there are a wide variety of ways law enforcement or others can get data from me, and a variety of legal protections that make cert

Wait? I thought only Google did stuff like this, and AWS was an amazing, customer obsessed(tm) organization?

It’s a brilliant design. Everyone here is complaining about it, and hardly anyone is saying “EV is no true Ferrari”. The whole point of Ferrari is high enough volume to print money, low enough to make almost bespoke cars whose sheet metal c

We really need a concept of tenancy in a digital context. Your personal papers are perfectly safe and subject the fourth amendment protections in your rented apartment. But most digital materials are considered to have been shared with a th

Yeah that’s really critical if you use O365, as the encryption terminates in each local jurisdiction and is in cleartext on that front end device. So if you connecting in Germany, you’re hitting a front end in Germany or at least the EU, an

There are many well cited examples. I believe in politically sensitive areas like Xinjiang it happens to everyone. A past employer gave specific advice regarding Hong Kong as well. I think the key thing as a traveller isn’t the righteousnes

Read the stories about people who actually have this happen. You can usually figure out why they are targeted. That may not be just. But it is. Customs agents are always given broad discretion and generally care about something. Most normal

This where I don’t get the HN flame at Google. I had an obscure KMS issue a few months ago, I reproduced it and opened a ticket. It was a low severity. A guy emailed me back in about 4 hours, acknowledged it and thought I was doing it right

Yes. He’s a simple creature. Just pay the man and/or his kids off. Remember the funny video comparing Oracle and Larry Ellison to a lawn mower? He is the same.

Don’t think of them as companies in the normal sense. There’s no meaningful competition anymore and they have rolled everything up. They are essentially national industries now.

Mini Brexit in the sense that a foreign entity is working to destabilize another. Russia and its proxies ran an active measures campaign in the UK. If the US government isn’t doing something similar, the toxic soup of the maga-sphere defini

If Enron were running today, they’d put Don Jr on the board, have the US Attorney reassigned to Guam, and sell them Venezuela for a dollar.

They are dirty communists. We prefer red blooded American scam artists here, buddy. Hell, Elon probably found some bullshit way to recognize Chinese AI as Twitter revenue, used to buy cyberattacks to sell to SpaceX.

I think for the average corporate person in a non-software company, the "out of box" experience is better with Gemini. It's also cheap. Once you get deeper into it, both Codex and Claude have better integrations with skills,

I think you're correct. I live off on a city side street off of a major avenue in my city. Diesel soot looks (other than color) and behaves like pollen. Next week i'll be cleaning the pollen and soot particles from my porch. I per

There's a fair amount of enterprise usage. It's a really good product, despite the Claude hype. Anthropic is a PITA to deal with, and it's slow as shit weekday morning Eastern time.
