Exactly! I almost added that to my reply above. To make the above situation even trickier, let's say the homeowners had a landline for years, but just recently switched to a VoIP gateway. Their VoIP gateway operator advertised a featur

Imagine a 911 operator gets a phone call that goes like this: - 911, what is your emergency? - Help me oh god! ... My husband he's going crazy he got a shotgun and is threatening to shoot my kids he... - [garble garble] -

I totally agree if the toxicity is known. But the fact that these chemicals aren't banned completely, must mean that this isn't yet widely excepted? Toxicity is a wide spectrum so the truth could be somewhere in between. Maybe tef

Selfishly, I love remote work. But I also think I’m not quite as productive or engaged when I’m fully remote. Still pretty productive, but not quite. (Compared to a sane in-person company without copious interruptions) That’s a fine tradeof

Thank for you saying this so clearly. It really articulates my own feelings. Something is lost when you give up in person collaboration. But that can be fine and perhaps it has no real impact on your team’s productivity. And even with th

It's of course absurd that the law was ambiguous enough in the first place that a warrant wasn't obviously required and it took the Supreme Court to resolve this. But the search in this case happened in 2019. How was the agent sup

The government's argument here is that if the agents knew they had to obtain a warrant to search the phone, they would have held the individual, or just their phone, until they got the warrant and it would have been searched anyway. If

Oh apologizes! When you said you don't interact with JavaScript I thought this meant you didn't run JS but I see your point now. You can right click on YouTube videos to download them? That sounds slick! How did you set this up? I

Not the parent, but most any browser should support this for basic videos. And with JS disabled I think it's only basic videos you'll see. That is, any <video> HTML element can be right clicked and downloaded, at least in Ch

This thread is about YouTube. But the videos you mentioned are fine and no one would call right clicking on a video and downloading it a DRM violation. But I'm quite confident you can't view or download YouTube videos if your brow

Wow I think this is the first time it's been insinuated I'm a paid shill! Also being a noble genuine worker's rights movement AND a movement being amplified by foreign actors aren't mutually exclusive. If you want to ca

I'm having trouble finding any reference for the "five minutes per decade" downtime limit. That would be "6 9s" or 99.9999% uptime which is just crazy in today's world. Even today VOIP providers only claim 99.9

I believe the origins of r/antiwork are actually more literally "anti-work" like you mentioned. As in, moving towards a basic income post scarcity society where we don't have to work. It's a noble utopian goal but s

Foreign actors are motivated to foment discount and internal conflict. This might actually lead to improving working conditions, but that’s not the goal.

The difference is that this TV is being upfront about ads and that it’s FREE. I don’t think the average person really cares about their privacy. I’m sure many will jump at the chance for a free TV since all TVs are ad supported anyway. (If

I don’t think making the LLM able to distinguish between privileged and unprivileged text is sufficient. Knowing some text is unprivileged is very useful metadata but it doesn't ensure that text still can’t influence the LLM to behave

It's a bit odd that all the search and "next page" requests are handled via POSTs. I like it when I can see the search query in the query args. Also there's no progress or loading indicator on anything. When I click &quo

Do your at-risk family members have the same strict mask adherence as you? I ask because this very much applies to me. I have very at risk family members and if by wearing a mask daily I make them 1% less likely to die, that's worth it

Private equity buying up all these companies is actually a huge part of the problem! IMHO. For the older folks who are selling their company, it's of course a huge boon, but for people entering the trade, it's a huge negative. In

This actually sounds a lot like an urban legend. Especially given that it’s a story you heard in your youth. I wasn’t able to find a report of that happening at the Hofn station, but the same story of this happening to an anonymous microwav
