Data residency isn't anywhere near sufficient. The threat model is that the US government can either a) force the US-based employees of a US company to copy the data from EU to US and hand it to the US authorities, b) if not possible,

A lot of people here seem to be interpreting "Cloud" as as "public Cloud infrastructure provider". Note that this isn't just a question of AWS, Azure and GCP. It's about any kind of hosted services. So it would

The article says the EV sales in general grew by 50%. How does your theory explain that? Do other EVs use less electricity less Teslas?

It's about that, as I too expected from the title, but there's a twist. The twist is that Jeffries started working on that project again in 2024 and wrote 45 more posts on it. And that's what this article is about.

No, that's not at all what happened. House of Cards was a highly regarded UK TV series from BBC (made in the early 1990s). Like many UK TV series, it was ripe for an American adaptation. Netflix won the bidding war for that adaptation.

No, all languages don't need to share the same idioms. But you've been making arguments like the following: > Like in the same way you might forget to write pattern matching code? > No, it's entirely possible to forget.

The distinction you're not acknowledging is that with pattern matching + algebraic data types you can't do anything with the payload without handling the error case. (You need to write a pattern match to extract the value, and the

If you're concerned about API costs, the experimental Gemini models with API keys from API studio tend to have very generous free quota. The quality of e.g. Flash 2.0 Experimental is definitely good enough to try out Aider and see if t

The author's HN submission history makes it pretty clear what the point is. It's basically just repeated and spammy Show HNs for the same projects.

One pattern is that all the 8s are always clustered around a single edge space that contains a level 1 wizard thing. I don't know if there are other patterns, none popped up immediately.

Why would you compare only solar to all forms of fossil fuels combined? Surely the proper comparison includes all renewables. Solar+wind+hydro+bio combined for 47% of the EU's electricity generation, fossil fuels for less than 30%. (An

It's not a two-factor code like you're thinking of. That code is shown on the sign-in / account recovery page, to whoever making that attempt. Then the same value has to be chosen on the mobile device that's being used t

I don't buy applying comparative advantage in this case, even after reading the more extended article that was linked to. The argument makes the fundamental assumption that the marginal value of one unit of a specific type of work is f

Yes, the timing is random.

For point 1, I think you're misunderstanding the timeline. That change happened in 2008, during code review of the initial patch to add that option as a boolean, and before it was ever committed to the main git tree.

I know. That's why I wrote "value of TikTok". Not market cap of ByteDance. And to get a controlling share of the merged entity, you'd need to be bring hundreds of billions of value to the merger, not a clownshoes AI star

That doesn't really help here. TikTok is at an absolute minimum an order of magnitude more valuable than Perplexity, more likely two orders of magnitude. If ownership of NewCo was even roughly proportional to the market value each side

I was using the word "revenue" very deliberately. Savings don't increase revenue. The GP's argument was that this was about "squeezing out more profit from that supposed 0.1% of users". That can't be an ar

Still seems like a bad fit for a HN filtering rule. The spammy articles won't make the HN front page (at least not with the original title), but there will be a lot of false positives from the HN style of tagging older articles with th
