Yet another example that I've dealt with from the outside: as part of regulated community, I must submit some trade secrets to the government for regulatory purposes. Those trade secrets are legally required to be kept secret by the go

Yes, that’s exactly right. These are secrets the unclassified part of the government has. Being secrets they are exempt from FOIA.

It’s a human on the other end. My suspicion of how it works is that the first several messages are scripted no matter the response, and then upon passing some gates you get a human in the loop. Makes sense too, them not wasting a human on t

I do this a lot. Basically there are some initial steps that are obviously done programmatically no matter what you say, and then I guess if your responses pass enough gates you pierce the veil and get a real person. I’ve gotten scammers so

I totally disagree. For one, for every minute the spammers spend on someone trolling them, that is real harm not being done to people in the world. That’s high value. Second, this is a fun side project that this person would have been inves

This is the informed voter thing, right? We know Trump is a liar, and beyond that perhaps the most documented liar in human history, and we also can plainly see who is involved in the campaign, his cabinet, his inner circle and easily cross

Even that is not entirely relevant. I think the criteria here are likely actual addiction combined with harm from that addiction combined with scale of that harm. So even if we showed that HN was addictive, the harm and scale are so low tha

Seemed like the comment was. It mentioned wanting to see banning all scrolling apps and was implying because they cause addiction. Did you sense a different implication from the poster?

Some things are so incredibly harmful for society it is in the governments interest to regulate those things.

It’s not only TT but all Bytedance owned domains. Also this is DNS so still lots of queries to see the new update page.

Anduril sponsored a Nix convention, so guessing they do use it.

I don’t know, prioritizing sharing the sidewalk with everyone who wants to use it seems like it should transcend individual priorities.

Is ROI pronounced “roy” or “are oh eye”?

Just list them. Why won’t they list them??!? Reeks of “this one surprising common household object will cause instant death, watch at 10 to find out which.”

I found the moderation and choosing your own feed with blocklists so far implies that even if you copied and pasted all the odious people from Twitter, I still would never see them, nor would any other thinking person, and they would die in

I think they can just fax it, which saves a lot of the environmental waste you’re talking about.

Pretty good tool for creating graphs of work to be done and schedule them, but that’s not important now.

Incredibly cool. I am constantly amazed by these efforts and the find my network is a really impressive thing. What’s stopped me from using anything like this ever is the fact that I’m confident that at some point Apple will either embrace

Basically they execute in order of array initialization, not index order, so it outputs hello cruel world rather than cruel world hello.

I totally agree. This looks like a pretty new startup too. I would be livid if my team had spent so much time on this instead of building capabilities to get the startup traction.

This is the very definition of bikeshedding. It should be included as a reference in any definition of that term.

It has an awesome effect of being able to more effortlessly spend time with friends, of whom 50% of them drink alcohol, in environments that are generally meant for alcohol drinking like cocktail bars and pubs. You’ll also be happy to know

When I get cash from the bank teller, as rare as that is nowadays, it is regularly brand new and uncirculated. I bet you could just withdraw cash and ask for uncirculated and they would oblige. They’re hard to count because they stick toget

This is a good article to familiarize yourself with the concepts, but would be great if they just listed a few keyboards that are top notch or popular for people to get started. Regardless, this is a lot of words to day that people should o
