Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore’s Law.

Probably not worth it in the electoral sense, but you know what? I’d rather have a human than a robot calculating the electoral effect of every interaction he has with another person.

This wasn’t strategic. It was just human.

Also it wasn’t a “unity gesture”. It was a funny moment for the people in the room and/or was intended to make the Trump convert more comfortable.

Either way, it was absolutely fine in context. The only concern is how it could be taken out of context, and fuck that. I’m tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say.

If it was a “unity gesture”, it was for that one guy. It wasn’t for the Fox News audience.

Oh no. Are we forever to dance around the next moronic thing they decide to turn into propaganda? I hope you don’t have a cat.

Well, this one is real

Bush attacked a country that had nothing to do with the event

The payment scams aren’t going towards food in any way. The tradeoff you’re suggesting doesn’t exist.

Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.

He doesn’t. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he’s not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.

I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.

The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.

The effect was that Android got “Find My” about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won’t be compatible. But isn’t Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.

Disagree. I prefer XML for config files where the efficiency of disk size doesn’t matter at all. Layers of XML are much easier to read than layers of Json. Json is generally better where efficiency matters.

It was the reddest of flags. Georgia does not have laws that allow them to take action for red flags.

The kid didn’t even beat his wife, which is usually the accepted standard if they did have red flag laws.

you really shouldn’t be using variables with the same name but different capitalization in the same sections of code anyway.

It’s a standard convention. Notice step #3 here: https://scottlilly.com/learn-c-by-building-a-simple-rpg-index/lesson-08-1-setting-properties-with-a-class-constructor/

Edit: Step #4 is a different standard convention that also applies here.

It turns out that the easiest thing to program isn’t always the best application design.

Nope. Completely different.

Case is often used to distinguish scope. Lowercase is local while uppercase is public. “Name = name” is a pretty standard convention, especially in constructors.

There is a ubiquitous use case in programming. There is not in the file system.

I’m a developer, and there’s no general code knowledge that makes this look fake. Json is pretty standard. Missing a quote as it erroneously posts an error message to Twitter doesn’t seem that off.

If you’re more familiar with ChatGPT, maybe you can find issues. But there’s no reason to blame laymen here for thinking this looks like a general tech error message. It does.

For many of us, Matter/Thread was a way to get away improve privacy and get away from Vendor apps and proprietary bullshit. This is a step towards reduced functionality when you don’t allow the devices to phone home.

They say you can turn it off now, but will it work out like that in practice?

While this sounds like a backward move for the local, smart home standard Matter, Hui emphasizes it is optional for manufacturers. Plus, if a manufacturer does choose to enable it, consumers can turn it off at the network level. “The spec requires border router vendors to give capability to the users to disable this functionality,” he says.

I guess we’ll see.

Dude. Paragraphs.

Agreed. We should stick to the public healthcare first, and revisit others in 15-20 years.

I’m kind of surprised public healthcare hasn’t already been pitched in this way. Hell, that $50k should be a medicare credit.

I understand you’re being dogpiled, but stay away from personal insults.
