I've followed a few cases surrounding traffic cameras that have been ruled unconstitutional on the grounds that individuals have the right to face their accuser. The question in those cases came down to if the operators of the cam can

Does anyone else ever find it odd that in posts like this the person posts a sad picture of a pig instead of a screenshot of the page of the bill they're talking about? I think "a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a

Yes, my lens was/is insured. The problem is, it's not something you can just pick up at Best Buy, so the trip would've been a total loss (it was for business).

Yea I once had a TSA individual take my 85mm f1.2 RF series Canon lens out of its case and hold it up to the light to "inspect it." I said, "can you please be careful with that? It's a $3,000 lens..." The person cut

Putting yourself in a situation where this could happen is kinda insane, right? Could be something I'm missing. I can't think of any specific example where I would let any agent touch a production environment, the least of which,

It feels like 90% of HN has become arguing about whether something was made by AI. I'm just counting down the days until no one can actually tell how much AI was involved so we can get to discussing whether the thing is good or not.

I do find it kinda crazy that we had a specific policy surrounding tariffs (Smoot-Hawley) that was in the center of the worst economic collapse in US history. And now, less than 100 years later we're like "hey let's try that

Tariffs don't work like that. These are taxes that businesses have to pay and as a result, they pass on to the consumer. Larger companies have some room (in some cases) to absorb some of these costs. While smaller companies do not. The

Yea I was thinking the same thing. When you reach for the most exaggerated, over-the-top word possible when describing something relatively mundane, what will you use when you talk about something that actually is "terrifying?"

Not sure if you read the headline on that site, but it says "bad idea." I never said OpenClaw was a bad idea. I said the way most people are using it now isn't practical and/or saving them any time, and if there were way

Man, I can't believe it's been that long. I remember buying Photoshop plugins for Automator that did a bunch of resizing/refinements/watermarking. I'm guessing a lot of that is built in to photoshop now, but I have

I keep reading folks saying OpenClaw has completely changed their life while posting a picture of 58 mac minis on their desk. But every single use case I've read so far could be done with a pretty affordable SaaS product, Zapier, Autom

As with anything, they are all things that could be done better by a company. Airlines are a great example of this. They have changed very little in the last 30 years (again, thanks to all the government regulation and red tape). Smartphone

This is related but also kinda an aside: has anyone been able to find a solid, reliable ad blocker for Twitch? Brave use to block it for a while by default (it does great on YouTube ads). There also use to be a ping pong between Twitch and
