Needs (2016) in the title - and all big industry plays these games with "science".

Try using Amazon in Safari sometime (in Lockdown Mode, no less): non-stop ads (some which flash), sponsored results dominating the first page of search, random Dufus pop-ups forcing AI. You can hide "distracting" elements but they just appear again later. Safari is not a user-friendly browser.

Because that is not how adversarial activity has ever worked, or ever will work, but unfortunately it is how most people - who are irrational, unprepared and lacking a threat model - think it works.

The western diet has become so horrible and disease-inducing, that alcohol displacing some those calories has a net positive effect - truly an impressive "accomplishment".

Because security through obscurity is a 19th century maxim which is objectively ineffective at guarding secrets?

> What could go wrong?

Most likely, the moral and spiritual costs of this work will lead to isolation, depression and deep resentment later in life, which no amount of money fully remedies.

Not one mention of obesogenic animal products which is the most significant contributing factor to their condition. The lack of respect towards other individuals, both animals and even humans, is palpable:

"Sarah now says it should be against the law to make comments about body shape and size"

Your freedom ends when she decides her feelings are hurt. This is classic narcissistic personality disorder.

By using my mind to reason about how long the task(s) will take, based on past experience of using the tools, processes and mental frameworks to achieve similar task(s) in the past? Has Claude really totally preempted even such critical thinking abilities?

At first I thought you were describing some dystopian Amazon exam, but no - CNCF Kubernetes certification appears to be organized by the Linux Foundation? They have lost their fucking minds. Avoid these tests of submission to authority, because your dignity is worth more and frankly so is your time.

> Is this safe? We've designed this with security in mind ... you are trusting our server with temporary access to your brokerage.

It is legitimately hard to tell whether this is innocent satire or actual malware.

Data from surveilling toll payers is worth significantly more than the moneys collected from them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_extra... may be one reason

What is most surprising is people still think something distinguishes them, even on HN.

Personal property taxes are deductible in the United States.

It's this. Data is effectively replacing dollars as fiat currency, due in large part to unbridled money printing.

Then downvote or flag the thread and move on? Not everyone wants to be exposed to disablist vitriol, no matter how toxic the hellstew runoff is.

The belligerent name-calling only further degenerates quality of discourse. Consider detonating your emotions in a more responsible blast-radius.

> update to macOS 26 for continued security patches

Are you certain that is not already the case? Or do we still truly believe Apple has the capacity, resources and motivation to care about two version of their operating system at one time?

Simple market economics, really: the more people sell their Apple computer, the more supply there is, ergo its value will decrease, and the relative value of the brand with it. You are doing the inverse of this.

Every macOS update I have installed this year is followed by a full-screen intrusive advertisement for Apple "Intelligence" which has to be dismissed before I am granted access to my own computer and files.

I have to wonder why the author bought a round-trip ticket?

Duckduckgo is hosted on Microsoft-owned servers, how could that possibly be considered "private" by any stretch of imagination?

> I had previously set up my gpg key on a Yubikey and even used that gpg key to handle ssh authentication. Then at some point it just stopped working, maybe the hardware on my key broke

Did you try to SSH in verbose mode to ascertain any errors? Why did you assume the hardware "broke" without anyone objective qualifications of an actual failure condition?

> I figured storing an SSH key in 1Password and using the integrated SSH socket server with my ssh client and git was pretty nice and secure enough

How is trusting a closed-source, for-profit, subscription-based application with your SSH credential "secure enough"?

Choosing convenience over security is certainly not unreasonable, but claiming both are achieved without any compromise borders on ludicrous.

Giga-rich dude with massive AI investments extols the virtues of AI while minimizing obvious harms. Are we seriously past the point of questioning such an obvious conflict of interest?

> We built Iris after watching friends spend weeks doom-scrolling Craigslist, Zillow, Apartments.com and broker sites — only to miss good units or run into stale / scammy listings.

How does Iris help avoid stale/scammy listing, using AI or other means?

> Verified listings only from property managers, owners, and authorized agents

Who else besides these parties is listing properties for rent - and how do they contribute to the aforementioned category of listings?

These baiting questions and resulting wasteful discussions are just uninteresting. Submissions should be qualified on their own merit instead of needlessly litigating the source of their publication. I say "should" instead of "must" because this is not a public forum, but a private one, and as such, the rules of moderation are not at our discretion. My advice is to accept them and participate productively within the norms, or start your own community which is devoid of any perceived bias, in your own vision of what is reasonable.

> The researcher-turned-educator-turned-investor

This is enough qualification to discard the opinion of this individual on any topic, but especially artificial intelligence. To wit:

> "I think for a lot of AI models, the benefit is so much greater than the harm," he said. "The death of any single person is absolutely tragic," Ng added, referencing recent suicides that allegedly involved the use of AI. "At the same time, I am nervous about one or two anecdotes leading to stifling regulations."

This guy is just here to water down the kool-aid so everyone can take a drink.

DNS blocking is entirely insufficient compared to DOM interception and filtering, especially with domain fronting.

Such innocent mistakes make me smile these days because it gives assurance a real human wrote them.

I don't think so. Anarchy is defined as the absence or non-recognition of authority, whereas I do not reject authority, but reason about controls a free market can meaningfully apply on it, namely through decentralization of technology - the means of its power.

I do believe a productive hierarchy of power could naturally emerge if everyone were equally equipped with technology. For example, if all State financial transactions were auditable by anyone (say, via immutable ledger) - would this not lead to favorable outcomes without the necessitating the chaos of anarchy?
