We need to attach actual monetary amounts to PII. If a company loses the data they owe you that money. The money is increased based on how and if they disclosed the leak. Lying about a leak should be a criminal offense.

This would would allow engineers to better be able to prioritize security, which typically gets ignored or put low in priority.

Very difficult to use on mobile.

You can set Kagi as the default search engine today on iOS. Unless I’m misunderstanding.

I’m pretty sure Brave and Vivaldi are both based on Chromium/Blink not WebKit.

Something must be wrong with your computer. I don't see objectionable content when I turn mine on? I'd have to actively seek out objectionable content and I don't even have any sort of filtering or parental controls enabled on my own devices.

The example you give doesn’t really track. If a drug dealer is outside the entrance of your home it’s completely unavoidable. A kid looking at adult material online? Entirely within the control of the parents. We already have filtering and monitoring software.

I know several parents that limit screen time, require screen usage be restricted to public areas of the home, have parental controls and filtering operating etc.. some of the parents I know won’t even let their kids watch a movie unless they screen it first.

It’s been my experience that developers running Mac already know how to use Linux and actively choose to use Mac. Unless the company is forcing it at least.

Sure, it’s stopping some, but not most/all even with strong public opposition.

I don’t know a single engineer that has been terminated and replaced with AI. I know lots of engineers that were terminated due to shifting jobs offshore for cost savings, over hiring during COVID, and a poor economy.

NIMBY seems to have a hard time stopping data centers. Why do they have more success stopping renewables and rail?

AI still uses search engines though.

It's costing a lot, it's not bringing much.

It kinda depends on what you mean by “much”, but we’ve certainly had advances from the ISS in the last decade.

Several experiments with microgravity manufacturing such as ZBLAN fiber optics, 3D bioprinting, and other medical technologies. Microgravity manufacturing can offer some significant quality improvements and prevent settling.

There are other improvements as well. Foundational research is very important and space has a solid track record of delivering science that we turn into very useful technology on earth.

I feel like people have been saying AI was great for years now?

It’s amazing how often an LLM mocks or stubs some code and then writes a test that only checks the mock, which ends up testing nothing.

Is it the public’s job to police what your son does or is it your job?

It’s because the people that built and maintain the SPAs were beat into submission with the “SSR” bad message. Now people want them to do SSR again.

Out of curiosity would you prefer Windows or Linux instead of Mac?

The recommendations from this are surprisingly good.

Upload, download, latency, and how many options to choose from are what I looked for the last time I bought a house.

I actually asked some of the neighbors about it and called local ISPs.

My work email is virtually useless at this point due to the absurd quantities of spam I receive. I think the OP suggestions would actually make email less shitty.

Any communication medium that is cheap and easy will be relentlessly abused by spammers.

Email being so cheap and easy is is a significant component of spam, which is a technical problem to a degree. Spam on Signal, text message, voicemail, Discord, etc… is significantly less present for various reasons (cost, complexity, etc…)

I’ve rented Teslas from Turo three times and the experience was seamless and delightful. The car was dropped off and picked up from my house and everything just worked. Phone keys, supercharger access, full charge when dropped off (basically).

I think the traditional rental places are just incompetent or under investing.

Predicting the future is literally a core upper management job duty. It was fairly obvious and should’ve been assumed that interest rates would eventually rise.

Isn’t over-hiring a form of management incompetence?

Money was too cheap, tech companies are now slapped with larger debt servicing costs and a less captive audience. Growth focused and delusion forecasting done by companies weren’t grounded in reality or pragmatism. This led to things like over-hiring.

Just seems like bad practice for them to not scream test this first. Disable the databases for 48 hours, enable them for a week, then delete them. That would give people the same alerts as randomly deleting it but allow them to gracefully recover.

Didn't us-east-2 have an issue last week?

I would assume the USAF conducts regular training missions, which this easily could've been counted as one of.

Congrats! I've used codeship for awhile now. Was sad to see the live chat/help go.

I’ve never heard of a background check for an elected representative.

It is a bit strange that someone who can’t vote (a felon) could be elected and then vote on our behalf.

It isn't only used in America, but I would agree that it is predominantly known for that. Usage of the word appears to be increasing. It fulfills a role in the English language that no other word seems to hit as easily. It'd be nice if the word were more publicly acceptable. I didn't grow up in the south but always found the word to be useful.
