I don't know about in this case, but I've heard of both Apple and Microsoft "cloudifying" then deleting local files just found on your drive. I think with Apple, it was music. The lack of control with closed platforms i

I watched for a couple of minutes, and while it kept saying Japanese phrases, it just showed me floating by a large city landscape. Certainly nothing like being in a train. Do you just need to wait a while to be in the train? Or for it to

Though I have to ask the value of illuminating large tracts of mostly uninhabited land. Crops means farmland. Farmland means food. Food prevents people from starving to death. With global warming, existing croplands will become unusable

And here's the thing... juniors become seniors become experts, by doing this their entire career. By having an understanding built during their entire career. Right now we live in a fairly-land of mixed capacity. LLMs being used in pa

Stockpiles of masks and gloves where maintained in Canada, and I believe the US after SARS. But a year before COVID, these warehouses were shut down, as the stockpiles were old, and needed a refresh, and politicians didnt see the need to sp

With global warming, trillions upon trillions of acres of immensely fertile bogland, in Northern Canada is thawing. The problem is, global warming doesn't affect daylight. 4 hours of "the sun barely makes it over the horizon&quo

It is what's happening, as I've described. A 5xx is a bounce. You don't agree with my terminology, but we're not disagreeing on what's happening. In this case, as per my dictionary, 'rejected' and '

Everybody agreed that "Leap seconds" are a sufficiently bad idea No. Not everybody. I prefer accurate time, and all the complaints I've heard hold little water. My servers need to timesync forwards and back all the time,

This only makes sense in certain circumstances I think. For example, shipping tomatoes from 5000km away when it's winter in Canada. I recently did some research, and there are multiple local greenhouses around many large Canadian citi

They're referring to the bounced notification message, not the fact that the mail bounced. Verb and noun. A 5xx is a bounce, and results in a bounced email message. Variances always abound, but I'll stick with my 30 year old ter

But it’s hard not to think that the group of people who find joy in learning and creating is shrinking. I'm not sure you should think it is shrinking. There are a lot of people in this world that hate to learn, and literally are inc

OK, I guess one is indeed the case.

5xx are bounces, a perm failure. 4xx error codes are temp (retry) errors.

The cops in this article didn't do a single thing wrong. Their department did, maybe. Or the city/state. But reading the article, someone entered the plate wrong 1000s of miles away, and secondarily flock reads some plates wrong

And regardless, Apple products aren't "luxury" anything. They're just computing products, with a range of buildout from low to high. Not a single thing Apple has ever made has been in the luxury category. They're

No, it's just one person, not all of HN, and I can't imagine why the contention.

It's a Ford, with almost no physical buttons. (I edited my comment adding the word deep, to indicate it is 3 clicks deep. Very annoying.)

Mine can be turned off. Three menu items deep, at each and every start of the car. No preferences. I simply disabled the camera and radar. The car was unsafe. Did I mention it emergency braked all the time, for no reason? No, it wasn&#

They can trivially determine if their tech is effective. Can they? How many people real world test, and are they of all different heights and weights and face shapes too? Besides that, when I was a kid, I used to watch a lot of old movie

You're only hearing about the ones caught and punished. You have no proof of "Zero tolerance", or of what percentage of people are caught.

There are hundreds of millions of CEOs, and board members. Every single company in the West has a CEO and a board. I've heard of some bad behaviour. I haven't heard of millions of cases of bad behaviour. Do you have numbers to

One thing. "Longer growing season" is not predicated upon temperature. Length of the day, sunlight, is a hard requirement for some plants. And the further north you go, the less the sun gets up over rhe horizon, even at noon. S

I think that as you said, she's the exception. Why are people using superstars as the rule, instead of the exception? Authorship covers everything, from software to how-to books. Comic book authors. It covers authors which are bare

I should have said it more clearly, I just thought HN would take this stance regardless. If you tell an employer to ensure CO2 levels, and it shows an improvement in productivity, employers may think "Hmm. Let's improve this fur

I can just imagine the horrors and skin crawls that your last sentence has evoked in some people's minds. Not the state!! But seriously, so much care needs to be taken here. OK, well "care" at least. Employers certainly wo

In my example, I cited microfractures and weak steel. These are not normal "deteriorate by default" methods of bridge deterioration, and have absolutely nothing to do with proper bridge construction. They are flaws. Flaws which
