It certainly is helpful to understand the mindset of a person who: a.) their hobby is to play competitive games which mandate kernel level (or similar intrusive anti-cheat)

b.) either accepts the requirements or builds sufficient security gapping to make it a nonconsideration.

These people exist, and would say in an honest assesmment that the above behavior is no more rights-intrusive than what 99 percent of the tech absorbing population allow today.

Gosh that one got me good. I haven't had a genuine chuckle from a post on here in ages, nevermind one that's from a a CEO of a multibillion dollar firm, who's presentation I was up until that point more or less agreeing with.

IE; It went from "ya know, this is actual a reasonable take to provide investors from a 70+ y/o CEO" to "Goose value 0?"

My 4 year old (maybe 5?) work laptop has 3 usb C ports. My macbook is all usb c, and my home media/gaming PC has a mix and match.

All my cables I would connect to my home PC/macbook are USB C. IE bluetooth adaptor, sd card adaptor, external ssd, mouse/keyboard, a soundbar etc.

I have several chinesium clones of dewalt batteries/tools, IE lights, compressors etc. They all have USB c output.

"most pc perihpials are USB-A" is not exactly correct for some time now. (not that I'm a fan.)

I get what you mean and it's certainly true, but he UI of either product can be simplified or bloated in a quarter by infra/development.

The real value of letterbox'd is it's community and "pop culture" relevance. I think that will drive the purchase more than anything

The visa requires licensing/registrations and token investments, all aside from the cost of purchasing a home in Osaka.

While working for a broadcasting/networking integration gig, we designed, assembled and field-terminated thousands of copper and fibre runs from 1/2 ft to football field lengths.

The amount of time required to terminate a copper cable in the field is seconds, and felt a bit like art. Something about the way it reliably reacted was magical and felt "strong."

Terminating or splicing a fibre cable felt like wrestling a snake covered in melted crayons, and the failure rate was significantly higher across the board. And it wasn't just workmanship, but quality of product, terminating environment, available equipment, misuse by future operators etc.

That said, at a certain point, we as a firm learned that most purchasers would rather the low latency/small footprint of optical/fibre versus copper, maintenece/failure be damned. Though, maybe part of our willingness to push fibre came from knowing that most purchasers would in 1-2 years call us back in to replace the rack terminations with copper :)

My underinformed take.

The American economy and larger global investment market/rigging is ...speculative and a sham. And it's no longer the 80's/90s, the US is falling behind in most emerging fields of science, standards of living, political freedom etc.

Worse, we all take part in it with employment, 401k etc.

So....who better to distract everyone from that stark reality, than a reality TV criminal! He's perfectly equipped to stir up tension over....erm...greenland....to distract from the obvious (multiple) crashes coming.

As an American, it is not true that most people don't have passports.

There are currently 180 million and change active issued passport to US citizens.

Conversly in east, wettest/snowiest jan-march on recent record. Today, april second, we got snow in coastal new hampshire.

Which of course isn't an antithesis to the lack of snow in the west, and likely is literally the flip side of the "same problem". but interesting

"Mr. Foreman was not at home during the 2002 police raid, but a security camera system and his wife, using her cellphone, recorded the “faces and bodies” of the officers while they were on the property, according to the lawsuit"

"2002" New York Times, everyone.

Props to afroman for his perfect demeanor/attitude during all this.

Twice I have relied on mine and neighbors ring camera for proof hat I did not cause damage to my vehicle on insurance claims, and was instead another driver(s)/hit and runner(s).

Wether insurance went after those people for the claims or police, it certainly helped me there.

Same is said for dash cameras. It is in 99 percent of scenarios for "set and forget" not for some malicious anti-neighbor behavior

A question, per your final comment on being available to answer questions:

What do you feel is the benefit to the community for this that isn't offered by native blocking/existing extensions?

I ask not out of malice, I ask because 2 reasons: 1. I imagine spending time on this/it's working well required you to see the value/benefit to it. 2. We must assume all hacker news commenting follows the rules, IE; good faith comment with relevant experience when required. This seems like a way to promote getting around that.

That is simple, that one (very cool) interactive matrix only has that one output description regardless of the input. The effect is clear either way

I am in a similar area IE; usual coldest is low 20s, often sits around 32-38f. But have oft worked outside in consistent cold snaps from negatives to 10f or so, also on boats/the docks.

working in dry extreme cold is infinitely worse than balmy 35f. One because in both scenarios moving snow/moisute out is required regardless of temps for working safety, and two because dexterity is gone at the lower temps/layering becomes inhibitive to work.

Ie; I'd rather work in a rain/snowcoat and be able to use my hands to get back inside quicker, than to work 8 hours outside in the "Clear/dry" extreme cold.

With all due respect, I could not imagine one thing, nor a dozen, that would involve me fiddling with my phone while on a commute of any length.

I say this having both a vehicle with wireless carplay, and another where I need to manually configure maps. And yes, I often fiddle with maps as I'm a nervous wreck, but I truly cannot imagine doing it "on the fly".

my company does not pay me enough to hyper scan my phone for teams/outlook, nor does my interest in "task/notification x" trump my desire to not have my car in the shop for weeks.

Different strokes I guess. I'm sure you're a safe driver all things considered.

those handheld propane torches, oft used for weedburning on asphault/concrete, are very good for clearing "post snow clean up ice patches, IE tire treads that iced over, foot prints.

Not useful for snow as you'll quickly be swimming and out of propane

I almost can't beleive adults are having this conversation.

You have never been sitting at a light, and see everone around you with their heads down, while the light has been green for 4 seconds?

Inverse, Have you ever been rear ended because a person staring down at their phone at a red light just decides to roll forward because someones brake lights in the pack deluminate for a moment?

I ask, because point 1 happens to me daily, and point 2 has put my car in the shop for weeks twice in the last 5 years.

A totally separate point to make; what could you possibly be doing on the phone? Like how addicted to social media or work must one be that they wait for the briefest of moments to distract themselves? I ask that not to judge or poke fun, but to say that you MUST be doing something that you find so important, and thus taking your attention, that it is now your priority. Or else, you would choose to wait.

I know you, as a reasonable adult on this forum, know what people are talking about here.

Of course money is real. Any financial movements humans make + the sovereignty of our respective states are completely beholden to purchasing power parity via the modern economy.

The "spent billions" isn't about me/my constituents/the US not having those billions. It's that those billions where finely calculated by (supposed) experts to help maintain PPP advantages over adversaries.

When one "side" starts playing pretend with money (IE; using 50 billion in western currency on the Zumwalt class of destroyers before tossing them) the other side doesn't do the same, and stop taking advantage of PPP.

At the risk of making a comment that goes against HN comment guidelines;

"Rio de 28 Old Women" sounds like a theme park ride.

I assure you, there is no more layoffs to do at any auto manufacturer that will effect the bottom line. IF that is the problem, the brands dead anyways.

I assure you that the biggest cost to VW, Ford, JLR, Renault etc is: 1. Building/investing in Chinese domestic market (IE, building plants in china to sell to their market) 2. lobbying governments to dissalow chinese branded/manufactured OEMs in western markets 3. Litigation on IP against those same chinese manufacturers they are both working with in chinese market, and preventing entry into their western market.

These problems "can be gotten around", by simply accepting this is reality. VW is doing such unfortunatley, while a company like BMW REALLY pretends "it's fine", as they have way too much cash doing nothing.

A question. If you think AI use by students to "bypass homework" is anything remotely approaching a problem, then I must ask you how you felt/feel about:

- University being cost prohibitive to 90 percent of all humans as financial driven institutions, not performance.

- Before AI, 20 + years of google data indexing/searches fueling academia

- study groups before that allowing group completion (or, cheating, in your view)

- The textbook that costs 500 dollars, or the textbook software from pearson that costs 500, that has the homework answers.

I think it's a silly posit that students using AI is...anything to even think about. I use it at my fortune 500 job every day, and have learned about my field's practical day-to-day from it than any textbook, homework assignment, practical etc.

This article is peiced to tug at emotional heartstrings.

Of course people are complex systems. When have you ever felt the thoughts:

"I am the same person I was last year, therefore people should treat me as such and not consider my growth, changes, or nuance." "My partner is the exact same person they where when I married them, therefore I do not need to pay attention to their growth, changes, or nuance."

You realized these things before you read the piece, but like me, found solace in seeing this "author" rationalize it as not our fault, but instead the fault of the new society/the other.

Which...is certainly not wise for sake of self-growth.

"People and consciousness are bundles of their own experiences, and cannot be broken down to static systems. more @ 11."

Nothing in this "Article" is based in any fact or input-causality examination that was (before) unclear. Just a person putting esoteric emotional reasoning on a blog.

(And of course, my own comment here breaks HN good-faith commenting rules. But c'mon.)

Off topic but related to your comment,

Noraly/Itchy boots rubs me the wrong way far too often. Her content always **ends up being top notch and respectful**, but starts off with a sour taste after the title is "I should have never come here." and the content is a lovely journey......

Idk. This whole genre is: western person is achieving a "dream" life as a function of their birth and wealth status. Has a good time, seemed to enjoy the journey. But then pretends the trips are hampered by 1-2 (expected) events not normal for a westerner, and reflects that in the title for views.

I think the effect is more negative than not.

Who in this scenario outlines the key infrastructure, and how is the private key maintained?

I imagine that's done via JIRA tcket/IT before onboarding.

So if they somehow can get past initial device deployment/user account logon, and get other resources IE; slack....well that speaks to how difficult/pointless it would be to get proper VPN/Jira access.

Man, this is Tom's Hardware, and the author (H. Nasir) isn't exactly a contnent mill. He doesn't reference AI in any source, and this article is in line with his other writing styles.

It worries me that the "average HNer" doesn't perform independent analysis on even the headlines anymore, but rather the "top comment/flavor of the month" opinion at the top of the discussion.

It is...dangerous to then say "I wish we we could flag these posts as AI-authored"

Dang has done an incredible job with the flagging system, and it is reliant on the shared understanding of the users here that we are all acting in good faith and not performing surface level analysis/criticism.

Tangential, but I wonder.

This clashes with my experience; At least in my field....PM can basically only come from an individual who has architecture + development experience and thus is higher paid than any dev who is working on their product.

Maybe I need a different job.

I think it's simpler than that. IE; not a vanity thing for his ego or pettyness for the sake of being petty,

Entity owns an IP, Entity doesn't want another entity to own it for risk to the IP. (the other entity being a globally publicly owned historic aggregator of IPs for sake of short term profits)

DIsney is doing the same in reverse with the Muppets/Henson Properties. Don't do anything with it beyond semi-annual short projects to retain the IP.

this vehicle has no interior to speak of, and no lighting to see at night (inside or out)

It has no cats, no EGR system, sequential trans etc etc.

To original OP of this question, this is closer to a racing speedboat than a race car. More expensive to own than a yacht assuming you want to run it
