The priorities have drifted. In the middle of night I don't care about getting healthy, I need to get rid of fever, so I can fall asleep and able to got to work/school in the morning. And somehow there is never right time to be sick and everyone just want to supress syndromes here and now.
Plus caffeine, for those who don't drink coffee. Quite standard combo for people suffering from migraine. I stick to 500mg+200mg and I find it suspicious adverts for painkillers somehow always show 2 pills while dosage recommend in leaflet is just one.
I don't expect anything from the guy who declared self driving cars are easy, everyone is just doing it wrong, and he could do it better in a just a year; 5 years ago. The fame totally went to his head :P It is somewhat common issue for Nobel award winners, in this case the scope is limited "I am great at security and reverse engineering, that makes me an expert for anything IT related".
Does PHP just not care about memory corruption
They didn't in the past, it "freed" memory by killing the (per request) worker. Such legacy takes a long time to overcome.

Normally I would complain about people spamming in GitHub issues but I don't think it will matter this time
There are diminishing returns. Just look at bike locks. Anything higher than trash tier, and the issue is finding a dedicated bike stand, since anything else will get destroyed by the grinder faster than the lock.
This is just reenabling existing technology. Card chip already has everything required to verify the card and PIN[0], the only thing internet access is required is checking if account is not empty/over limit.
[0] That also means that after changing PIN on bank site, you have to visit ATM, so new PIN is actually stored on card - but that it only required for that offline mode.
To combat malware and financial scams, Google
Not 75%, not 80% and not 90% but literal 100% of adds YouTube served me for a week were financial scams. It sounds to me the quickest way to fight it, is to make ad publishers finally take responsibility for taking part in crime.
It mostly illustrates the trap that captures many new game developers. The existing game engines are too difficult so I will make new one, and then somehow they spend all the time working on technical side while the actual gameplay never realises. In this specific case I think the main goal was to show how Rust is superior tool for gamedev :D
Top 3 links in HN frontpage are all about GPT-5. I don't remember when was the last time people were so excited about something.
they are acts of interpretation that are never recognized as such by outsiders
And that is exactly why translators are getting replaced by ML/AI. Companies don't care about quality, that is the reason customer support was the first thing axed, companies see it only as a cost.
In case of YT it is likely a mix of multiple reasons. They stop playlists on this screen: https://www.hollyland.com/blog/tips/why-does-this-the-follow... . Apparently music is no longer advertiser friendly. Detecting ad-click fraud is easier when users are at least pseudo-anonymous. Warnings about "ban for using adblock" is also not very effective when people could watch video in new private window.
All these endless data breaches could be reduced if we fixed the incentives, but that's difficult.
EU fixed the incentives with GPRS and DORA, that was the easy part. In theory company that doesn't follow "secure by design" will end up bankrupt by (revenue dependent) fines. In practice the enforcement is lack luster, courts are lenient and international cases take ages, even if both countries are in EU.
Can I get the same for Google Play store? I will always take original version over shit-tier automatic translation.
TYT has to mark the ad segment, they are required by law to do it. And no matter how they try to obfuscate it, their own webpage must be able to extract that info, and present it to user. So it is pointless to integrate ads if you are going to provide the timestamps to skip.
Just look how Facebook does it, there is no "Sponsored post" anywhere in HTML, the literally place entire alphabet multiple times, each letter in separate span/paragraph tag, and then use CSS to actually style that into a message of their choice. All of that work just to prevent simple adblocking rules to work.
TOTP Support: Let users use any standard authenticator
How many of them allow to generate a code related to specific operation (provide a context for what is being "confirmed")? This is the EU requirement that killed everything but SMS and bank mobile apps.

Oh great, a Twitter replacement that implements worst of it's predecessor features.
I think the quoted Reddit comment is very ironic. People are allergic to self-promotion but hand complain that no one writes blogs anymore (beside the corporate ones).
I am not sure what can be done about strong luck impact on HN submissions or publishing Amazon books. It really feels like you have one attempt and the end result is mostly out of you hands.
