Sad but true. I paid for Prime to be ad free, easily worth 3$/month but sure enough now part of their catalog has become "only available with ads" or ads in their FireTV is before you hit the prime app (and then again when yo

Easy read but indeed. That's what I read the article for. I'm very happy with Photoprism but the box is not always on and I'd like to keep a cached set of photos on my phone while also having automatic (multi-user) sync whene

Why not use the POW to help cover the costs? Mine an actual coin (Annubis Coin?) and pay for anonymous infra access with it (or log in and get a certain quota for free)?

Yup. My last one took a rather quick end when a tiny bit of salty splash water got under the screen.. IP rating is only when it's fresh off production. Oh well, still a great phone (thanks to GrapheneOS)

Cool, I like the esp idea but won't you have to walk fairly slowly with a default ESP antenna? High gain might be better.. If you're wearing a cap you may not care as much being seem from above vs from the front. Maybe attach a li

Not to be overly intensive but people "demand" rectification between rich and poor because they don't see that they have all the tools they need or they want a shortcut to smart/hard work and risk - the US, EU and many o

Hmm, not sure I understand. How are those shell based? I agree that rust and haskell are not your typical OO (or not OO at all in a traditional sense) I guess my poorly worded claim was less focused on the OO nature of psh than on the typiz

We may disagree on what spendings are necessary but I get your frustration. Spending should be questioned everywhere and I don't mind it starting in academia... It's not like it couldn't be parallelized to other areas

> git log --end-of-options "$rev" -- "$path", Argh, that's when I wished for object oriented shells. Powershell sure isn't perfect but objects encoding their own meaning really helps differentiate those case

With a nation this far endebted you'd think people might think it reasonable to question billions in grants.. Don't spend money you don't have is one of the best advices my parents ever gave me.

Been using GrapheneOS as daily driver for 4 years on three pixels. Problems only start when banking apps start actively sabotaging it by pretending the phone is rooted etc. Normal apps work normally and you get way more control over them. I

In practice it's of course not so simple. Every truck that passes you (or that you pass) will suck you right in if your tow vehicle isn't heavy enough or you don't have good enough grip. Also, (RV/drum) trailer brakes su

The project doesn't seem to be about enforcing philosophies on how to form or what do to with land but providing an objective assessment. Your statement depends on whose perspective you take. I don't disagree from a health standpo

Awesome insight. Thanks for clarifying! @bbc please update because there's definitely an implicit complicity in your article.

It indeed looks like the rest are "you're the product" (tm) type apps. Honestly, I don't expect much from Play Store (or App Store for that matter) these days but as a developer it's terrible what hoops you have to

"We mark it down based on [income]".. Obviously it's profit first (I don't mind if you don't pretend that profit is a cost). It unfortunately seems cheaper to be uninsured for many cases if you're willing to pi

Probably depends on the context (as always) but I'd say prompt injection is closer to remote code execution - or even a superset thereof if it can also change and redeploy code.

OK, I imagine that involved quite some challenges. Well done. But why? I fail to see a purpose. Is it just a DOOM runs on my smart toaster kind of thing or something that has production value?

What do you mean? Prohibit trading while in office? I'd argue that it's a pretty big sacrifice to have to make your trades public while in office (but IMHO the reporting deadline should be sooner i.e. automated instant-reporting.)

When you come as a non-immigrant, you agree to not stay permanently. If you want to stay (because life happens and the US is a great country after all) you go through the proper channels. That may mean exiting for the duration of the proces

I just went around the circumference of the US by RV. Kinda hard to travel more. What I do notice is a clearly liberal HN bubble that does not represent the country I see and the people I talk to and I'm not selective. You're of c
