I guess the vulnerability should work as follows (I haven't tried it), you send an email with a very large attachment to a "hide my email" address, the server that receives it (private.icloud.com) forwards it to the email server registered in iCloud which, being the very large attachment, sends a response email (from the real address) with the rejected email message. It's the first thing I would try.

It’s a damn liability. You take a plane to New York, but for some reason, it gets emergency diverted to Heathrow, and you end up arrested.

I believe it is the most plausible explanation. Microcomponent electronics and later microprocessors made workers more productive.

Never, but never, in any situation should you give a police officer a turned-on mobile phone. First, turn it off and then hand it over. It’s as simple as saying, “Hey Siri, turn off phone,” and then confirming. Once this is done, the phone is indistinguishable from a brick in terms of stored information. If you hand it over turned on but locked, there are several police devices that can unlock it and copy the information it contains.

"LLM is not for me" sounds right. But, if you want to use LLM to avoid building the tedious parts of a project like the user interface, APIs, etc., and decide to code your algorithms the old-fashioned way, that's fine too.

Most likely, the nature of consciousness and reality are rigged in such a way that we cannot use our consciousness to decipher them. Any progress in that direction is useless and, at this point, almost ridiculous.

Perhaps they weren't trying to steal electricity but rather avoid consuming all those kWh in the same location. If an electric company sees a similar energy consumption at a property over a considerable period, they will report it because it could be a drug plantation or an illegal mining farm (Europe). Using AirBnBs and changing locations every 15 or 30 days seems to be a solution to that problem.

I think it was Hugo Zucarelli, the inventor of Holophonics, the recording system used for albums by Roger Waters and Pink Floyd, who discovered that the human ear generates a sound of a specific frequency which it uses through interference to discern the spatial location of a sound source. This has always been a mystery as to how, besides knowing if a sound is to our left or right, we can also tell if it comes from behind or in front of us, above or below us, which should be impossible with just two ears on the sides of our head.

It is not what happens in Barcelona. For six months the "okupas" have been inside an apartment that a family left completely closed to go away for a weekend, the Mossos arrived 15 minutes after the occupation, probably alerted by "Securitas" and did absolutely nothing. Saw everything from my window, and now I’m terrified if I have to leave my house for one day.

It is not what happened a few meters from my home in a completely closed apartment. The "squatters" broke the first-floor window to enter, the Mossos took 15 minutes to arrive and did absolutely nothing. They have been there for six months, they already changed the front door, and the owner cannot get them out.

Have you ever delivered food for a living?

You make it seem like it's quantum physics. Anyone can carry a plate to a table, it's one of the jobs with the fewest requirements for the position.

When you are taking a dish to a table, it is a good time to reflect on the decisions you have made in your life that have put you in that position. Perhaps finishing high school wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Basically, the issue of wages is not my problem, so this whole discussion becomes absurd. Do I want to leave compensation for the worker? Does he deserve an extra out of my pocket? Did he do something for me that exceeds his job functions and I can appreciate? If he brings me a plate of food for which I'm going to be charged, it is unlikely to fall under these conditions.

Sometimes it’s zero, and sometimes its $200 to the Uber driver with pictures of his sick daughter all over his car.

If I got into an Uber like this, I would get off at the next corner and report it to the company. I want to travel in a car and not be psychologically blackmailed, I find it despicable.

The same thing happens, and on a worse scale, in Barcelona: extremely expensive rents, leisure, restaurants, etc. are very expensive, unbearable traffic, public transport is overwhelmed, and on top of that, there's a drought. The problem is always the same, who the citizens choose: first Colau, a former "squatter" who ruined the city with her socialist policies and zero urban planning, then Collboni, another useless person who in his first year of government did not change any of Colau's urban policies for fear of breaking something.
