People buy IBM for the support and exotic features around high-availability and expansion. I think they’d be able to do an ARM migration if needed since they have deep experience with emulation (there is mainframe code from the 1970s runnin

Yeah, the only other option I’d consider for this would be Apple Mail on an iPad for the same reason that it works well offline or with low bandwidth networks. There’s a QA issue here but the logic is quite reasonable.

Recent news, but I do sympathize that your earlier thread didn’t get attention. One thing I think helped this one is that HN has more people who care about open source abuse than Delve specifically so this headline gets more attention.

Perhaps but it’s quite informative as a cultural indicator: someone who sells open source code for millions despite not having a license to do so is almost certainly cheating in other areas as well. Like if my CFO was cheating on their spou

We did invest, starting in the 1970s, which is what brought the prices down so much. It just took time to get the R&D to the point where they were cost competitive. The social problem is that fossil fuel usage was very profitable and em

This would be more effective as criticism if you demonstrated the superior knowledge you imply having. Maybe point to some primary sources?

I think you’re right that they’re going to skimp as much as regulators & the market let them, but that Thinkpad would cost a lot more than $300: a new platform is an ongoing cost for maintenance, security, and interoperability – not cru

Thanks for having him on. It was really nice to hear a sober, experienced voice talking about their work with fellow practitioners.

I tend to be skeptical but listening to the linked podcast with Carlini and found him very credible–not a sales guy, not an AI doomer, but someone talking about how little work he had to do to find real exploits in heavily-fuzzed code. I th

It’s an odd list of airports which contract their own security screeners. I’d bet a lot of places are going to consider joining that program: https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/21/us/airports-without-tsa

I was thinking more like the expectation we used to have that the police didn’t just start shouting in a surprise ambush. For example, the U.S. navy knew that the ship was unarmed and returning from an event hosted by the Indian government

by acdha 7mo ago
No, but the U.S. navy has more than a single submarine. Given the vast power differential and the fact that they knew the ship was unarmed having participated in the same International Fleet Review exercise, there’s an argument that, say, a

The U.S. definition balances military necessity against humanity, which in this case is not looking good: no mitigating attempts to reduce the death toll – no warnings, no attempt to disable the ship – and since the ship was trying to get p

It comes down to what’s “free”: most people want that to mean freedom of choice for buyers but sellers want that to mean freedom from restrictions. Trying to balance the two depends critically on regulation because it’s too easy for larger

I think a lot of it comes back to cars: many people traded longer commutes for suburban houses, which has advantages but comes at the cost of not having much to do without driving somewhere and less free time around other people. This is es

That doesn’t fit: Apple’s been experimenting with VR since the 90s and Vision Pro was hardly novel–well executed, but not novel. I think it’s more complex where you have to think about the products executives and Wall Street analysts want t

And I’d add that like AI, there was clearly a conflict inside Apple between people who wanted to be in the game and the people who correctly recognized that it wasn’t yet where most consumers wanted.

It’s not different because of who’s doing it but due to scale: creating news which steers markets is worse than trading based on insider information, and there’s a scale question as well (billions versus millions). I want them both prosecut

This is a silly conspiracy theory: the ray ID references the specific CDN edge server which processed your request. Even the request ID is not what you’re implying: that’s unique for a single request, but it’s not public and anyone who has

They’re not going head to head in a naval battle (yet) but oil tankers aren’t hardened targets and they wouldn’t need to be in American airspace to attack ships leaving Saudi Arabi or Iraq bound for California. All you’d need would be one d

It’s also not exactly a secret that the executive class resents having to pay high-income workers and is champing at the bit for layoffs. Even if you fully embrace AI, they want white collar jobs to look more like call center work with high

The U.S. exports fossil, yes, but we import a huge amount as well because many of our refineries aren’t setup to process light sweet crude and it’s also often cheaper to buy oil, refine, and use it on the coast than it is to move it across

The technologies we’re adopting now were significantly developed by post 70s research funding. The cars people drive are massively more efficient, the houses we live in, and the appliances we buy for the same reason.

I think this discounts the nature of the threat. American science has been systematically gutted and will be rebuilding for a generation even after it stops, and we’re seeing a lot of effort to put anti-competitive measures in place: from b

Here in DC is pretty similar - I just checked the Silver Spring Regal and it’d be $82 plus tax for an 8pm showing tonight. I think part of this is the push to promo/membership programs — if you’re price sensitive, you’re not paying $9.
