I think it matters a lot because Amazon doesn’t have their own airline. They contract out their aviation to multiple companies. The incentive is to pick the lowest bid and that could be a company whose culture creates indirect pressure on p

Reddit has fully religious people devoted to the Apple cause. If you haven’t been around these people, you wouldn’t believe it. Apple doesn’t need astroturfing; their fans do it for them.

The FCC takes the public commons very seriously. Given how easy it is to make radio frequencies unusable, they need to hammer hard and fast to discourage people from trying. They don’t wait for a report to be filed, they can proactively sea

I believe they do. It’s used to get an initial fix before you get gps coordinates. Wifi network names in range might also be used.

Tobacco can make you really sick if ingested. Anything distilled may contain methanol. Mushrooms can be a different type than what’s on the label. Fermented products may contain poisons from dangerous bacteria. If you’ve heard about entire

Mostly because selling and/or using it is illegal or morally offensive enough to be penalized by your community if too many people know.

There are different no fly lists. Airlines maintain their own list of people they’ve banned from their planes.

It’s not FUD. Flock is permanently storing information when they say they’re not and the police are can look back at least six months. I imagine this is a premium feature. A police department had to get more evidence because they got the wr

And sometimes security can’t be a high priority. When it comes to building things: fire, building codes, inspectors, public, utilities, lenders, and insurance all go before security. All those dictate whether or not you can build in the fir

Genuinely curious, does the telephone system have enough scope to make it dangerous? Elevators are extremely hackable all over the world. It’s generally not considered a problem because it requires physical access, specific knowledge, and d

This is how you get a callsign like “Jumper” or “Rocket”.

UUID 7 does not hash the date. It uses 48 bits to store a millisecond resolution timestamp. This allows you to sort uuids by time.

Who exactly is supposed to be fired for this? If you don’t have price controls, it’s easy to run up a bill. If no single person had the responsibility to check the cost, then no one actually failed at their assigned job. So you either fix t

I’ve seen the raw json before. I didn’t realize that was an actual failure mode. I’ve also had it fail to respond in long chats but I thought it was a network error despite having no error messages.

I’ve done long conversations with ChatGPT and it really does start losing context fast. You have to keep correcting it and refeeding instructions. It seems to degenerate into the same patterns. It’s like context blurs and it begins to value

Yup. There’s the concept of “mission kill”. It’s very difficult to sink a battleship with 5” guns. Use them to blast off all the range finders, radars, and secondary battery and that ship will be headed home after the battle. The difference

I 100% believe this was done by somebody inside our administration. It’s totally in character for them. Look at what they do to immigrants and our own citizens. They intentionally target children. But if you wanna look externally, you can’t

I was thinking of doctors offices and pharmacies when I asked. My doctor has a physical fax machine in the back of the office. I was hoping things might be a little bit more advanced elsewhere. It hurts my soul to see people print a documen

How many fax lines still go to a physical machine that prints on paper? It’s a lot less paper to have a pdf of the fax emailed.

I think it’s a lot simpler than that. Verifying a credit card is probably the easiest and cheapest reliable method to verify identity. If you look at it this way: they’re trying to identify somebody, and they don’t want to do a massive amou

Oil doesn’t make self-oxidizing metal fires. You can easily put out an oil or gas fire with water and it will stay out once cooled off. You have to just let lithium batteries burn and even if you get them extinguished, there’s no where to s

Fuel density matters to things like cars and semi-trucks. Right now you can’t build an electric version that can fully refuel in minutes. That makes fast, long-range travel impractical in an electric vehicle.

Renewables require power storage. Batteries are large, heavy, expensive, and the power dense ones have absolutely horrendous failure modes. There are other storage options, but they require even more space than batteries. Oil and gasoline r

I absolutely believe it could be 90%. And it happens a lot more often than people think. The estimated average across the general population is roughly 1 in 4 for girls and 1 in 6 for boys. The vast majority are by family (3 in 4). But I&#x
