!00% agree. 'we need less regulation' is never the right answer, 'we need the right regulations' is. The article points out areas that improvements to regulation, and process, would help and that second part 'and pr

'as a kid I....' Man. This brings back memories. I got into the BBS world and started programming in earnest because I wanted to write shells for the MUDs out at the time. A friend and I built some amazing things all in the name o

Right now we need diversity in the ecosystem. AMD is finally getting mature and hopefully that will lead to them truly getting a second, strong, opinion into ecosystem. The friction this article talks about is needed to push new ideas.

I think the possibilities are huge with this area. I'd love to see more 'manager' layers that build on top of any 'cloud' system, even a local one, to give you a standard stack that is easy to move. Imagine somethin

Watching hypervisors slowly improve over the last few years has been amazing. They aren't quite to the point that I will install them under any new hardware I buy and then put my daily driver OS on top, but they are very close. I think

My dark energy/expansion of the universe thought experiment is still this: when you throw a ball up in an expanding universe, how fast does it come back down? This is (clearly) not my field but this basic question just seems to lead fu

The right answer is 'yes to all the above'. Yes, we need solar. Yes, we need wind. Yes, we need batteries and, yes, we should be looking at geothermal. Solar has shown us, again, how artificially holding back a technology for deca

Trust is a powerful multiplier. By that I mean if you have trust in your city as a safe place you generally don't see bars on windows and have more open, inviting and usable spaces. You have more businesses and happier people. Right no

At some point we need actual consequences for sites that intentionally hide their tracking. It should be criminal. It is stalking and has real world consequences. Just because an exploit exists doesn't mean it should be used. That logi

Looks like an old article which has been on HN a few times now. I guess the situation hasn't changed since 2018. This, in a nutshell, is the problem with for profit medicine. If the training signal is money then money will be optimized

Really? If I go to another country and commit a crime they can't enforce their laws on me unless they stop me at the border? I don't see how stopping me at the border stops me from committing a crime when I get past it or stops th

People can fly in 'easily' right now and just not fly out. We used to be able to walk across boarders with nothing needed or, at most, a drivers license and '2 billion people' didn't suddenly show up. This 'arg

Let's start with a bang. Passports and strictly enforced borders are dumb and this is a clear example of exactly why. Increasingly the digital world -is- the world and arbitrary geographical boundaries are causing nothing but problems.

All I can say is 'thanks!'. It does take a team, and a community, but individuals matter. I use pytorch daily, it has made it possible for me to play with ideas that I would have only dreamed of. It is a big part of my life so, th

Thank you for the feedback. I honestly believe that Claude Code is trying to be more privacy aware than other products, but it takes vigilance on both sides to get there. When you say the survey sends back more than the numeric value and ad

Anyone know of reviewers that do this for cars? I just don't see privacy focused reviews on basically anything. We have reviews about how reparable things are and how good/bad the features are but rarely do I see privacy mentioned

If only I could trust that is all it did. I want 'airplane mode' for my vehicle. I turn my phone to 'airplane' mode all the time specifically because I don't want to give them access to where I am and all the other

I like the idea, and we need variety in the market to keep things evolving, but I like the bells and whistles. I just don't want it to phone home. Honestly, I want the title to be 'we don't have a network connection and we ca

I have been interested in city planning for a while and the idea of an 'urban growth barrier' is a key concept with massive benefits. Basically, when you limit a resource, like available land, it simplifies thinking, forces inward

I want the assumption of innocence until proven guilty. I want to not be searched against my will and with no probable cause. I want my accuser named and my suspected crimes announced in a way that gives me the opportunity to defend myself.

As I have gotten older I have liked 'vigilante justice' movies less and less. Superheros that always prove might makes right, cops that 'buck the system and do what is needed to get the job done', etc etc. It is because

This is why I have so few 'smart' devices in my life. It is obvious that all of these devices are predatory. They start off 'helpful' and 'useful' and then turn malicious when you can't easily replace them

This reminds me of a joke website I pondered making a few years ago 'provemeright.com'. If you are in a bar and you make an outrageous claim and don't want to back down, provemeright.com has your back! Give us 10 min and we w

Google's track record of suddenly dropping something they have developed and their stellar record on privacy make me pretty wary of this. I would like something like it, but Google as the champion just doesn't give me confidence.

I can agree this may be a (the?) pivot year, but I don't think it is energy. It is everything. It seems weird to say the death of fossil fuels is 'not that big of a deal compared to...' but when it was only a minor news story

I turn off every 'to cloud' option I can find on any device I have. Apple's iCloud is just as evil. I have turned that off so many times over the years it makes me angry. It is clear that these companies push 'cloud&#x27

I'm not an expert by any means, but I think the issue with seawalls is they are built to stop waves, not something that acts more like the ocean getting deeper. The water a tsunami brings in is pretty different than a simple wave on th

This was close to DYI with me and the local handyman figuring out a good way to tie my house to its foundation. Not a full retrofit but pretty good for my 100yo house with nothing remotely close to modern design. Here are some resources I f
