By and large, this only benefits the employer. Why would you support anti-human markets?

Rimintil··on Microsoft 365 Copilot – your copilot for work
OneDrive for Business does not have an encrypted vault (though the files are stored encrypted at rest/in transit).

As far as 'no more access than', OAuth apps can have full control over your tenant and all data.

Rimintil··on Microsoft 365 Copilot – your copilot for work
> Sure, but most (if not all?) of us have language in our customer agreements that Microsoft doesn't have rights to just start browsing our OneDrive libraries and Exchange inboxes without a support contract explicitly authorizing access for support purposes.

You don't have language in your agreement that Microsoft cannot use your data to provide or improve service. You have language that says _support personnel_ cannot access your data without approval.

Microsoft already indexes your mailbox, OneDrive, etc.

Viva Topics has been around for ~2 years which mines content across various services.

Rimintil··on EPA orders Norfolk Southern to conduct all cleanup actions related to derailment
> I'm thinking about what I've read on social media (twitter, reddit, etc) about the event.

Social media is social media. It requires critical thinking skills to navigate what you can trust versus what you cannot. I would have put this point in your GP, though. The GP otherwise reads like it has an agenda.

> relevant authorities do not seem to agree with this.

They're (probably) a more reliable source than social media, so I'd have to refer to the relevant authorities.

Social media (likely) isn't out there gathering soil samples, air quality metrics, and water quality metrics in a uniform or scientific method that would qualify 'social media' to make a judgement call about the impact of the disaster.

Rimintil··on EPA orders Norfolk Southern to conduct all cleanup actions related to derailment
Other than introducing FUD about the cleanup costs, why would you believe there is overstatement on the impact of the disaster? What metric has you doubting the impact statement? What are your qualifications to make this assessment?
Rimintil··on Google Workspace increasing prices from April 11, 2023
I generally see Google -> M365 given the severe poor suitability of Google Workspace for enterprise businesses. And given those businesses often need to run Windows & Office regardless, sticking to Google makes even less sense.
Rimintil··on Federal judge sanctions Seattle officials for deleting texts
It makes no sense that a telcom would be 'backing up' your SMS (or maybe not even SMS -- could all be iMessage which the telcom doesn't see) texts. What reason would they have to do so? Where's the business value of storing all of that data, supporting the infrastructure, supporting restore requests from customers?
Rimintil··on Hydrogen: Does Earth hold vast stores of a renewable, carbon-free fuel?
> That has very little to do with the article

It came from the article.

Rimintil··on Hydrogen: Does Earth hold vast stores of a renewable, carbon-free fuel?
I think this is important to note about hydrogen as a 'clean' fuel source:

> Today’s hydrogen is “gray,” made by reacting methane with steam at high pressures or using fossil fuels in other ways. Those processes emit some 900 million tons of carbon dioxide every year, almost as much as global aviation. In principle, that carbon could be captured and sequestered underground, yielding “blue” hydrogen. But most hopes rest on “green” hydrogen—using renewable solar or wind power to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen with electrolyzers.

_Today_, it is not a clean source of energy for vehicles.

Moving from GSuite to M365 is a fairly popular move. Consulting companies build around this service.
Rimintil··on Hobby Club’s Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down by USAF
Why would someone sue over what is likely less than $100 in total costs? That's silly. You can only recover actual cost.

Plus, who wouldn't be proud to be able to claim "I launched something that was shot down by an F-22!"?

Rimintil··on Intel Publishes Fast AVX-512 Sorting Library, 10~17x Faster Sorts in NumPy

This type of response has no value and should not be posted, here.

If you wanted to _provide_ links to said information and be helpful or provide a factual counter-argument, that would be wonderful. It not only benefits the person you're replying to, but also the rest of the HN community.

Otherwise, this type of response simply raises red flags of evasion and lack of knowledge.

Rimintil··on Stop developing this technology
Technology like this has blown up on Twitch/Twitch circles within the past couple of days (I won't link to it due to the sexual nature, but you can find references on /r/livestreamfail). Men taking women's [Twitch streamers] faces and use your imagination from there.

Completely inappropriate and unethical.

What value does this technology add? Bringing Princess Leia back to another Star Wars movie? Anything more than that?

Rimintil··on What happens when a CPU starts
This is an excellent video of exactly how RAM works. Now to find one for the various types of ROM!
Rimintil··on What happens when a CPU starts
For RAM, but I was asking about ROM. Since [type]ROM keeps its state for a long-term (looks like some manufactures claim 200 years shelf life under optimal conditions), I'd imagine it wouldn't use capacitors holding an electrical charge that require any form of refresh like RAM.
Rimintil··on What happens when a CPU starts
> The memory chips respond by sending the contents of the selected memory cell over the data bus to the CPU.

What does that ROM memory cell _physically look like_? How do we physically manipulate it to contain a 1 or a 0 (absence of something)?

From the article:

> The bug also allowed the researchers to update the status of any digital CA plate to “STOLEN,” which could alert police and possibly send them after a car falsely labeled as the object of theft.

It's like the old James Bond gag where the license plate rotates. Like this guy did:

It's not about being 'extremely good' at war. It's about being so overwhelmingly dominate, no one challenges you -- ever.

Not doing anything (i.e., not developing weapons) will cause the US to slowly lose that footing. And we just need to look at how quickly the PLA(N) has caught up to the USAF/USN (I'm not saying they're an equal, today, but they've come leaps and bounds over 10-20 years ago).

> crazy drones

So does RU, CN, and Iran.

> missiles

See above. When it comes to long range air-to-air and hypersonic, the US is lagging.

> submarines

PLAN is deploying diesel-electric and AIP boats, which can be virtually silent. USN boats are all nuclear powered, which we're good at making them silent, but they'll never be as silent as diesel-electric/AIP.

> nukes

Should never be deployed.

One of the things no one comes close to touching any of the US military branches on is our airlift and logistics.

> How much better do you need to be at war?

So much better than the other guy, you just need to rattle your sword, not use it.

I don't disagree with you about investment into social services, though I feel they're broken not only by funding, but by capitalism itself. I think the other thing we have to remember is that the Military Industrial Complex employs a significant number of workers and even more, if you extend that into all points of State and Federal government that touches the military. Those companies and workers are taxed (maybe). Those taxes cycle back into the system, etc. What kind of system would we have without those millions of workers? No idea. Maybe they'd all be doing something else and my argument would fall flat, which would be great.

Military bad? Yes. Military necessary? Probably, unfortunately, until we're no longer tribalistic. If necessity is a requirement, should we be so much better at it than anyone else on the planet that everyone keeps within their own borders? Yes.

We can expect China to engage Taiwan within the next 6-8 years. And they're practicing for it.
