I've just accepted that there is no action which has the intended effect in full. Kinda like how entropy forces mechanical energy to not be transferred in full to the form desired. Electrical to light? Some transfer will be heat. Optim

A domain is only ~$12/year if you don't buy it through a scammy site like godaddy that adds fake fees or quadruples the cost after a year. WordPress is easy for blogs, or you can just vibe code something in an afternoon if you don

Space is huge, but being on land has some advantages too. It's true that volume grows, but satellites don't have brakes in the way that cars do, nor is there a cleanup crew that removes the debris after a crash. You can remove cur

The idea that Google isn't the worst in respects to privacy is not an idea I've seen. Is there a company you propose as being worse? I think Meta is the next contender but they don't have nearly the same influence, so its s

As someone who does not own an F150 (or any truck), I find myself frequently wishing I had a truck, and either borrowing a friend with a truck, renting a truck, or doing some really unsafe things with my hatchback while muttering with my wi

They are addressing the fact that no bad actor will care to make it, not that they can't. Sure, there are countless ways it could be abused, and you point out some, but what had actor will want to pursue even one? They gain nothing. An

Then you make sure to only use HDMI cables that aren't HEC, in conjunction with not connecting the TV to the internet directly, if you want to keep them isolated.

I think one of my first posts ever was a share. My guess is there probably a new account timeout to prevent spam, and you are affected for having made your account today

This. I don't understand why something can only be used in the wrong way. Either A. there is nothing a good person needs to hide (including cops, at least good ones), therefore it should be openly public to everyone and all usage log

Why do bubbles naturally always end up as spheres instead of cubes or some other shape? Even though wormholes as discussed aren't real, geometric and physical optimizations of energy are going to push for a 'natural' shape so

1900 to 2026 is 127 years (inclusive), so 0.04% of the year range available, yet it only has 11% of all births. That's certainly a skew, although I suppose subjective whether or not that's stark. At a >3x order of magnitude,

All percentages are made up but feel right to me. 90% of apps work, no finagling required Next 6% might need some fancy setups, like setting up storage scopes or other privacy settings so they can function as expected. I won't pretend

So long as it is configured to be a mass surveillance apparatus, then yes. It is possible to have lots of data without organizing it in a way to enable mass surveillance. Google, Facebook, and recently Ring, are excellent examples. I don&#x

I've been using Reolink for years and been very satisfied with it. The only quip is the default UI isn't very good. When changing that reaches the top of my priority list, I'll switch it since they don't force you into a

His examples work fine but you aren't accepting them because they don't confine to your paradox. Every writing must be comprehensible to at least the author, regardless of whether it has commercial value or not. If I hit the keybo

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but even when I was in school, I knew (thought) schools primary purpose was to babysit kids and teens so any damage they were doing was in a contained environment. Education was just busy work and

To cancel someone was really popular for a couple years starting just after covid. There's probably a better definition somewhere, but basically it is when a collective of like-minded people decide to publicly shame a person until they

This is exactly what I found when I was trying to get advice for some business decisions. My friends with businesses all live in different states/jurisdictions, and the biggest takeaway has been that any tax-affecting advice is useless

3% is becoming more common as of the last few years, at least in the US. I know several banks off the top of my head that offer 3.5% or higher (and more if you are a new customer) for their savings accounts. I would persuade people who use

I love your reference to the recent accidental hack into huggingface. If I could summarize your argument, it sounds like you are saying that we can't understand the algorithm because we can't predict the output as it grows in size

You beat me! Sounds like we were in a similar class. I'd press for more information on your class/professor, but I prefer to retain a sudo-anonymity on HN. You do bring a good point that I ignored, which is the larger the scale, t

In the last day I've spent a couple hours in a negativity loop. My wife doesn't know it, but she snapped me out of it and it's nice to see your comment as another reminder to avoid going down that path
