Don’t like that you’re getting downvoted here! This is a pet peeve of mine. All security is ‘security through obscurity’ when you get right down to it. Cryptography is just a collection of ‘obscure’ keys (and, arguably, algorithms) that s

Kalshi and its peers are legal because they’re commodity futures trading, not gambling.¹ Are senators not allow to buy any commodities futures now (it reads like it)? ¹ I , and I think most reasonable people, think this is ridiculous - it

Or buying health insurance? Edit: I guess that’s not dependent on a ‘specific’ future event.

Ryan Broderick of Garbage Day recently wrote about the Geese ‘Psyop’ and is very skeptical that the PR firm actually accomplished anything to boost their profile: https://www.garbageday.email/p/the-wild-geese-chase (ir

I feel very misled. I read the entire article believing (because the article, in so many words, said it multiple times) that the agent had behaved ethically of its own accord, only to read that and see this in the prompt: ————— - Do not har

Good point (I’m assuming you’re right here and it trusts file metadata and doesn’t read files it’s already backed up?) It would still happen with the first backup - or first connection of the cloud drive - though, which isn’t a great post-s

Right, but even if that’s working it breaks the user experience of services like this that ‘files I used recently are on my device’. After a backup, you’d go out to a coffee shop or on a plane only to find that the files in the synced folde

I would say that phone theft is relatively rare. I didn’t mean to single out iPhone really - AFAIK the major manufacturers of Android phones provide similar protection, and if feel the same about them removing it. To me the surprising cl

Your own source says: “In 2012, the National Crime Survey – which supplies data to the ONS – reported that there were roughly 608,000 theft from a person incidents across England and Wales, which was a high for the decade. However, since th

That’s all true, but it is also true that iPhone theft is relatively rare. My assertion is that there would be way, way more theft if you could just downgrade and wipe.

by jrmg 6mo ago
In this world stolen iPhones are mostly worthless because they can’t easily be wiped without the password. In your world, they could be. I imagine iPhone thefts would go way up. They’re worth $1000 and we just carry them everywhere - if the

I’m surprised to see digital books are still growing in popularity. I notice way few Kindles in airports and on planes in recent years compared to ten or fifteen years ago. I guess people are reading books on their phones and tablets?

Collaboration like that is all a (positive!) part of projecting influence - in both directions.

It’s been amazing - and inspirational - watching the live stream of Mission Control and the capsule over the last ten days. Or at least having it as background audio. I’m going to miss all these folks I’ve grown to know. Bring on Artemis II

After looking at the web page (wow, this is a nicely designed app!), I read a bunch of comments being annoyed at the price, so I went to check, expecting something ridiculous - and it’s $30, with a free trial‽ At least for people in the US

You just need to look at the Facebook comments on any official NASA post about Artemis to see depressingly many of them. Some are joking or trolling, I’m sure, but I don’t think all.

If, like me, you started reading and after a while started thinking “Wait, how many parts is this going to be in‽”, the answer is “six”.
