Oops you're right. I double-checked both from the hacker News app preview (Harmonic), and mobile Chrome. No "show more."

I must have confused it with another article, sorry.

Parents buy those phones, phones could easily have a "user is a minor" setting (and a flag sent to all the sites that want one)

That's basically the California law! I hope other states adopt the "ask nicely for age but no online verification." OS setup asks for birthday, but you can just say January 1.

I also thought it should just send the flag, but I've heard there's good reasons not to. There's normally an affirmative prompt from the user to agree to send the age bucket data.

Thanks for sharing that nuance. It seems one court weighed in that Claude chat wasn't accepted:

In February 2026, Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that a defendant who pasted information—including details conveyed by his lawyers—into a public, consumer-grade AI chatbot (specifically Anthropic's Claude) completely waived his attorney-client privilege.

But maybe if you are using a transcription tool that happens to send your audio through the Anthropic APIs, the ruling would be different?

In my USA high School, they started requiring graphing calculators in the 9th grade math class. You would fail most quizzes/exams without the ability to run the calculations that scientific calculators couldn't do.

I'm struggling to remember using my TI-84 in college though.

I was there when the SDET role was eliminated.

Our team of 8 SDE and 5 SDET became a team of 8 devs who also owned tons of QA frameworks. It was awful, except each tiny we deleted a test suite for not being valuable; that was awesome!

If the Azure org was flooded with senior engineers who did not have senior-level experience architecting production software... That explains a lot.

Seems to acknowledge that windows 11 launched without expected features from 10.

Maybe they thought they could get away without taskbar location customisation, but now they have to put that complexity back in.

Jenkins CI has a clever feature where every password it injects will be redacted if printed to stdout; `enveil run` could do that with the wrapped process?

Of course that's only a defense against accidents. Nothing prevents encoding base64 or piping to disk.

This is kind of backwards .

GitHub's privacy statement [1] says > GitHub personnel does not access private repository information without your consent except as provided...

Do you have any evidence that private repos on GitHub are being used for training?

In the opposite case, if you have a public repo on GitHub then you should expect it to be laundered through LLMs :\

The ability to autofill by domain is a critical function of a password manager. It sounds like this tool is performing a lot worse than your browser's built-in password manager -- maybe that's enough to encourage a switch?
