Chinese national security law includes a gag order for such assistance requests. Apple can say they don’t allow it, because their local partner company is the one actually doing it. And the local partner would say they don’t allow it, becau

Really? Spam, scams, seo trash, bots and AIs, are utterly rampant. I don’t want Google and Microsoft to have the keys to the kingdom, but on the other hand, I really want a way to know that I’m having genuine interactions with real people.

> Fermi’s paradox has two good answers — we don’t see aliens because they don’t exist, or we don’t see them because they are here already. These are not "good" answers to the Fermi paradox, and definitely not the only answers.

I just had the same thing happen last week. I’m moving away and selling some of our stuff that we can’t take with us. I have a spare 5G/LTE router that I thought I’d throw up on eBay as well as Facebook Marketplace. I followed their on

In practice I usually see that when developers finish tasks early, then they don't just sit around doing nothing for the remaining 2-3 days, they pick up new tasks right away. This means there's never a clean "end" to th

Yeah I don't think it's fair to compare him that way. Einstein on the other hand benefited a lot from the timing of when he was born and started working in physics. His work was very much built upon that of others... Maxwell disco

Even if they don't ship to Taiwan yet, I love that they have "中華名國 TWD" for the country+currency selector. Nice one Framework.

They aren't real in the physical sense. Physicists do not believe that the singularity is a real physical phenomena at the centre of a black hole. They are only an artefact of the incomplete maths. When a singularity appears in the mat

It’s not surprising because they are promoting it with, for example, pop ups in Instagram about claiming your username. They already have a wide reach to promote the product.

> On average the amount of trickery in advertising will cancel out and decisions still get made based on the quality and usefulness of the products. Sorry, what? This sounds like wishful thinking not grounded in reality or data…

Also, most of the marketing totally fails at explaining what passkeys are to both ordinary users AND developers. What is a passkey? Most material I've read just defines them as a "credential" that is "used as an authenti

Trustpilot also has paid subscriptions where the business can pay to send "review invitations". So a shitty business can get a high aggregate score because they've gamed when to ask for reviews.

My experience is the opposite. Google’s search results are total steaming garbage. The English language doesn’t have enough words to describe just how awful the situation is. And that’s before you disable ublock and realise all their result

For example, as a good senior engineer you could expect to get around 10-14m JPY, _maybe_ up to 16m is possible but a challenge. Mid-level probably 5-10m. That’s just based off what I was seeing when I was interviewing and considering a mov

I've tried Jellyfin but still using Plex. As much as I hate Plex with a passion, it does work. Jellyfin is buggy and laggy and full of security issues... it's difficult to even play content on my TV. Music doesn't even play

It’s still feasible. The search space is limited to “The list of known user names” rather than “every possible combination of N characters”. That’s the difference between computable in under an hour vs computable in millions of years.

This is incorrect, according to Apple’s developer docs, which states that only the public key is sent to servers. They emphasise this as a benefit: your key can’t be leaked because servers only ever receive your public key. The private key

Even better, give that money directly to creators you like instead. I don’t feel that YouTube’s abusive copyright takedown system needs funding.

And on mobile they force you to view it through the Reddit app. Reddit really has become trash. I’ve deleted my accounts and apps. Good riddance.

I’m a fan of Sabine Hossenfelder’s viewpoint on free will. Our universe, to the best of our knowledge, follows deterministic laws combined with random quantum jumps. Being “random” doesn’t imply that there’s any free will, only that what ha

Take these recommendations with a grain of salt and make sure you understand the implications of each license. I wouldn’t add a license unless you specifically want to allow people to copy and use this code, otherwise just ensure that the a

The big problem comes when they want to use their crypto horde to buy real world stuff. Want to buy a house? Now you need to convert your crypto into fiat and a deed transfer. People will start asking where your funds are coming from. This

I think it’s because many people are quite deeply invested in crypto, and the result is that they can be extremely emotional and irrational. Efforts to regulate crypto and make it “not a scam” essentially means they will have wasted tens&#x

The only reason I watch YouTube is because it’s free and ad-blockable. But why in the world would I want to pay to support YouTube’s toxic incentives, abusive copyright takedowns, and overall rubbish treatment of small content creators? The
