NSA is under Pete Hegseth's Department of War [sic] if that is any indication of their position and priorities.

How many historical examples of civilians being misidentified as combatants does it take before we question whether these strikes have all been drug boats?

Weird take. Android is still ~80% of the market.

A statement so vague and ominous it could have been uttered at any point in human history by persons of any ideology without loss of meaning.

Lightning is just the snowcap on a mountain of Mini- and Micro-USB.

Having seen Musk fandom, every unhinged Grok claim has a good chance of having actually been written by a human somewhere in its training data.

The point is that a vaguely defined throwaway line on Reddit's blog is not great evidence for either.

There's a Popeye's at Eglin, maybe all that traffic was a chicken sandwich influence campaign?

The boring but more likely explanation is that "most addicted" is just a weird statistic that produced weird results. Eglin has something like 50,000 people but it's actual population as a census designated area is more like

If I follow you correctly, you're saying that we should not investigate or prosecute crimes committed by politicians¹ because the CIA did something on a TV show? That's an interesting point of view. I am skeptical that doing so wo

I don't know what you mean by "good guys got the bad guys in the end": the subject of the indictment is currently the President of the United States and the charges were dropped as a result.

by dialup_sounds 11mo ago
I don't know who that is or what that means. I'm referring to the actual indictment filed after the investigation that those phone records were subpoenaed during. It's unclear if you're trying to say that phone records s

FYI, that investigation also resulted in an indictment— conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.

Not to pull the Godwin lever, but the German SS went from being security guards to overseeing the entire national police force to running gas chambers in about 10-15 years. The function of an organization can change over time. The purpose o

Maps looks like a swing at "library of real world immersive 3d content" that landed on "guy air-tapping his way through a slideshow of bridge pictures".

I'm not seeing how other phones are being held back by any of this. Google and Samsung have design patents, too, and my Pixel Watch also has a blood oxygen sensor.

by dialup_sounds 11mo ago
You seem to be confusing Masimo's patent infringement case against Apple over Apple Watch with the notion that Apple has some kind of a patented blood oxygen sensor in the iPhone. I don't think that supports your case that Apple&#

Tiger still had that weird thing where half the apps were brushed metal for no apparent reason.

I think what you're looking for is not "copyrighted material" but material that's both 1) used without permission and 2) outside the scope of fair use. There's no easy answer there, hence New York Times v. OpenAI

Um, okay. Specifically, glasses don't try to do any kind of gaze tracking, gesture recognition, spacial awareness, any kind of 3d, depth, or immersion. You could add more cameras and lidar for depth, yes, but then you'd also need

Meta's glasses are "normal sized" because they don't even attempt to do what headsets do. To think one will replace the other misunderstands both.

This may be a controversial statement, but: you don't have to replace things that you're not using.

It's a hypothetical in that while a) the primary purpose of the app is to locate a certain group and b) people have died due to attacks targeting that group (i.e. Dallas) there is no concrete causative connection between the two. While

You do not understand. I am equating the desire of unhinged private citizens to commit violence to the desire of other unhinged private citizens to commit violence. Reasonable people aren't the problem. "An app that gives you real

I'm skeptical of this angle. If the app in question is being used by some to commit targeted violence, is it really a question of profit and not safety? Does it really take much pressure to want to get out of that position? Does Apple

Moral panic among Boomer grandparents in reaction to escalating prevalence took root in conservative echo chambers. The escalating prevalence is worthy of study, but yeah, there's a social/political fixation.

Without realizing how it had come about, the combat men in the squadron discovered themselves dominated by the administrators appointed to serve them. They were bullied, insulted, harassed and shoved about all day long by one after the othe
