I think its very easy to understand why nobody is giving this company the benefit of the doubt.

there are many federal laws in the US (and im sure other countries) that only apply when your company reaches a certain size. This is the most obvious way to balance regulatory burden on new companies while still enforcing regulations on l

From what I've read, its blatantly illegal. So probably will be undone by the courts in a few months. I wonder if anyone has a list of illegal things this white house has mandated that were overturned and rebuked by the courts soon aft

My Health savings account provider is trying to force the use of passkeys. I assumed it was a cynical attempt to force the use of their app, which I never needed or wanted, but now seemingly will be required to use.

I see this on my team. I honestly thought as engineers we'd all understand the limitations and nuance a bit better. Right now it's kind of a shit show. In addition to seeing my teammates open huge AI generated PRs and just asking

This makes sense to me. AI is amazing tech, but it's being oversold to naive public, either on the back of hype, or cynically, knowing they can do it with inpunity, (I'm not sure which). HN users have a way better than average gr

I work for a fairly big tech company, For the last 2 years, basically stopped hiring people in the US. Only hiring engineers in the India office.

I disagree strongly. I've found that they have more journalistic integrity than most mainstream news pages. Did you see the extremely strong post from the senior editor after this AI hallucination was discovered in a published story? A

I felt the same way for a long time. I switched to linux Mint with cinnamon last september because I'd had enough of windows 11 and feel completely at home on this desktop. I still have to boot windows to play some VR games, unfortunat

Agreed. As a long time windows user, I never liked ubuntu much (and always had issues with my hardware too). Mint has been amazing for me.

I have always wanted to use linux as my main OS. I tried with Ubuntu twice the past and always ran into really painful hurdles or missing features. This year I tried again with Mint and it absolutely stuck the landing. I have completely swi

The x200 was a really neat machine. They run great with linux mint - I have mine running as a home assistant server for our house since my raspberry pi died with flash card corruption.

I'm so glad linux is well polished enough now that I can finally use it as a daily desktop. Mint 22 is amazing with cinnamon. Switched from win11 about 2 months ago and have not once booted back to windows. first time I actually find m

I've found it very weird observing how CEOs across many companies behave as if they're part of some hivemind. When to do layoffs, how to implement office policies, and now pushing AI in the same way as if they have no brain of the

Firefox mobile was basically the only option I considered for a long time just because it lets you install Ublock origin . Not sure if other mobile browsers have that now too or not. I'm a firefox user on desktop anyway so I love ha

This became a hot discussion issue in magic the gathering online (MTGO). I always felt my shuffles in MTGO felt different somehow than my offline paper shuffles. It's hard to know for sure when its all closed source. I know a lot of p

My cornea was too thin for lasik, they offered me ICL but it was like 13k vs 5k. And the surgery seems scarier. And apparently they had complaints about the previous generation ICL causing hightened corneal pressure, so the current one with

I've been waiting a while now for automatic translated subtitles in vlc. I thought it would be here by now. I'm probably underestimating the difficulty but I'm surprised some video player hasn't done it by now. (as far a

so OP does SEO and also complains about google being evil. I have no sympathy for someone doing SEO to basically ruin the "organic" results and then complain about how google controls the results. So what, you want to control the

It would be cool if we had real journalism these days instead of having to find these type of reports on social media.

All the persistent storage is in the host directory path you map into the container. Just backup the directory you're mapping into the container. Don't try to save the container state.

Agreed. To me, this is the unusual case where individuals in corporations are actually punished. Most cases are way worse.
