That would be illegal in Australia, even if the policy was prominently displayed up front. Claiming otherwise is to treat each book as a packet of Pokémon trading cards, where you know you’re getting some cards, but you don’t get to choose

I see this is a packaging service with greater traceability and velocity than the rando images on docker hub. I believe that they will always supply the bleeding edge stable release, but it will always be your responsibility to monitor and

Price aside, the more important factor is that we don’t have the repair infrastructure to make something like this worthwhile yet. For something as critical as a car, we have workshops, spare parts supply chains, and the skilled technicians

Not uncommon to hear bold claims with every new and emerging technology that isn’t well understood by the media or general public. The excitement over nanobots seems to have run its course (for now?). Blockchain managed to find its way int

If you’ve got the spare time and spare change to set up and coddle a 3d printing hobby you absolutely have the skills and funds to set up Tailscale on a $100 mini pc. There is a lot of overlap between people who have a NAS and those with a

His passion does manifest as drama 90% of the time, but it’s somewhat necessary to build momentum and attention to the causes that he promotes. Also, he has to toe the line of opinion to avoid being slapped with spurious legal challenges.

…or many people are using the products day to day in their work as IT professionals or developers? I think it’s mostly the above, rather than a capitalist conspiracy, or in its relevance as a scientific curiosity.

I think that it’s quite responsible not to speculate on something they’re not an expert on. It’s exactly the sort of news bite that catastrophists glom onto. This is responsible journalism.

I strictly use it to accrue points, but general advice is that credit is useful to smooth out the lumpiness of pay cycles, but if you can’t pay the debt back on necessities within the credit cycle, you shouldn’t use it at all. Since credit

Underwater sites are particularly harder to protect from looters than above / underground sites. If the stakes are high enough, scuba diving is a reasonable option for the criminally minded. It wasn’t long before Costa Concordia was lo

It’s a big market but theres only a handful of use cases and R&D requirements, compared to military where the use cases and niche requirements are still continually evolving. Mil systems have severely constrained supply chain limitation

If you’re referring to their AI services being ‘woefully behind’, that’s just a market sector that they’ve chosen not to focus too much effort on. That was a sensible gamble too, given how unpredictable that sector is five years after it wa

It does seem like the logical automation platform to prepare repeatable tasks that the end user might want to do. The permissions and secure app integration models are all there, and it’s reasonably stable. It was always puzzling why there

I don’t believe there will ever be a real moat in terms of technology, at least not for the next year or so. The arms race between the major players still changing month to month, and they will all be able to do what their competitors were
