I found the following article to be very helpful when troubleshooting and bypassing that practice: https://help.dnsfilter.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500008110182-transparent-proxying It's also good to k

Saying that it's a communications utility may be the best argument for regulation. However, I don't think Facebook provides anything essential and so it's much closer to entertainment/media in my mind. I'll continue

Lol, fair enough. Now we just need to convince folks that Facebook is a town, not say... a digital publication. Then it can be nationalized as was originally suggested. Although maybe the government should try using eminent domain before ou

Rest assured that next time I'm arrested for trespassing I won't be calling you for legal advice.

Depends what you mean by easiest. You can also use ffmpeg to create a "screencast" with sound and it's just a couple of extra command-line options. E.G. the options -f pulse -ac 2 -i default work well for me. Of course

Is Facebook the public square all of a sudden? I thought it was a private company.

"Printing money" makes it sound like an education was manifested out of thin air. Semantically, I think cancelling student debt is much more of a "transfer payment".

This sounds like burning the candle at both ends and I can't help but think the attitude is counter-productive. That is, if a gasoline powered engine is actually less expensive, why not drive the gas engine and invest or donate the sav

Good article. It reminds me that the so-called "observer effect" prevents a debugging and testing environment from reflecting production perfectly. However, there's certainly a balance which must dictate the degree to which t

I don't dispute that. But, I don't think owning the title means the car needs to be fully operational. Titles to ratty, broken down, cars are bought and sold every day... aren't they? And, just because it's shiny doesn&#

What about satellite? What if the ping isn't time based but mileage based... what are the odds you drive 500-1000 miles without passing a cell-site? The car doesn't have to go completely dead either. It can go into a "limp mo

I do know that. But... Assuming you can even get to the antenna without special tools... you're just going to cut the antenna so short that the radio can't get a signal? On a hunch? What if the SOC in your vehicle has to download

Could be. That said... the sensor is generally referred to as a "tire pressure" sensor, not a "wheel pressure" sensor. No sense in nit-picking though. The point is they'd put a fart detector in the cabin (and send t

Why not the tires? New cars come with tire pressure sensors and tire pressure plays a big role in fuel efficiency as well as safety. It's just a few more bits of info. Anything that has a remote chance of making more profit than the co

I didn't make any of that up.... have you ever removed an onstar unit from a vehicle? Did you ever try to install linux on an xbox360? Radios these days are software defined. They can sit on the same chip that uses a trusted bootloader

by dinom 4y ago
You're making terrible assumptions here. The fact is you'll need special tools and then you'll need to follow a special procedure as if you're defusing a bomb. Otherwise... the radio will phone home and inform the mother

Yes, it's almost as much a mathematical notation for lambda calculus as it is a programming language.

I like the bootstrapping idea... github projects may appreciate getting buyout offers out of the clear blue! And, submitted offers could be fed back into the valuation model for fine-tuning.

I agree. But if one doesn't define a "general purpose computer" as being a piece of hardware, then all kinds of different conclusions can be drawn. If what Amelius pointed out here: https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2

Someone mentioned it'd be possible to run Asahi Linux, and this may have been in the back of my mind somewhere. But a lack of official docs would make life difficult and most likely explains my cognitive dissonance. Thanks for the info

The article states "There is no catch"... but if I'm not mistaken I'll need to run Apple's operating system, is that right? As much as I like the salacious hardware, that would be a reasonably sized "catch&quot

I'm not saying that I don't like the concept... if that's what the car manufacturer thinks will get them a better profit it's up to them. I don't see the false equivalency however. Heated seats are technically an ex

Of course this line of reasoning is extremely prone to a "sorites paradox". What happens when all kinds of other things are also disabled in the vehicle.... the radio? air conditioning compressor? motorized seat adjustment? etc? P

If we accept this to be true, why and how should it be used as an argument for economic interventionism?

Lol, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31539114 you say "I don’t want to devalue their savings" yet above you say "Devaluing in-the-mattress savings is a good thing". Either your thinking has ch

> I don’t want to devalue their savings. Hallelujah! I do presume this means the /kind/ of savings or /where/ it's held is immaterial. Sometimes I like to keep a portion of my savings as seashells in a shoe-box.
