Agreed. It might not be THE BEST solution, but it is a solution that appears to work well.

Centralization bad yada yada. But if Cloudflare can get most major AI players to participate, then convince the major CDN's to also participate.... ipso facto columbo oreo....standard.

It is. The original claim was that De minimis exceptions were being used to ship drugs into the USA from (insert hand wavy racist statements here about anything South of Texas). Then it was "because unfair". Then they terminated de minimis for all countries.

I don't think anyone is cheering. At least most of the people cheering are starting to realize it's actually their face planting into the cement.

I'm the ADD type that runs into shit, or at least I clip corners regularly when going through doorways. Normally... I don't even notice. Ripped two CGM's out in the first month. Shit HURTS.

That would be amazing, but it seems like that tech is still a ways off. At least to have any sort of useful accuracy. The wrist "temp" is a great example of "interesting but useless".

And only in the USA, as far as I understood. You could but the same watch in Canada and the pulseox worked.

I tried and was unable to replicate.

I love these concept of badges, but almost never are they well executed. Defcon has had TONS of problems with their badges of all types. OpenSauce has tried for the last two years with only middling results.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say "don't do it" or "These people are stupid". It's just that people underestimate the time and effort required. It's basically bringing a product to market, for 20 to 50k people (depending on the event), in a few months time. But it also needs to be "cool" and "unique" and often "beginner friendly" and extremely cheap. Crazy crazy hard.

There is a big difference between a Cessna 172 with a gross weight of 2,450 including the 56 gallons of fuel and an A380 with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,268,000 pounds and 65,000 gallons of fuel.

Did you know the Twin Towers were actually designed to withstand a jet? https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19930227/1687698/tw...

Except they assumed that it'd be a 707 and also that'd be at landing speed of about 180mph ... not a 767 (which could be as much as 2x a 707 in take off weight) doing almost 600 mph.

A plane larger than a Cessna, but still no jumbo jet, crashed into a mall https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2010/12/21/the-sunvalley-mall-p... - 7 people died. Tragic, but it goes to show that SIZE DOES MATTER.

Also also. "no alarm bells" is highly dependent on location. If this "stolen" plane were to have flown into highly controlled airspace without approvals, you can bet your ass that alarm bells would have gone off. But the person flying the plane knew what they were doing and where they were going. They went away from busy areas and didn't anything out of the ordinary.

Is there still many reasons this could be a problem? Sure. But invoking the terrorism word is full FUD, the likes of which the media loves to use. And ends us with security theater like shampoo size limits.

So our company has reasonably liberal usage of Zoom's AI Assistant. To provide summaries etc. How good the summaries are is a matter of debate..... Sometimes they are fairly good, often they get small details wrong/confused. Overall I view them as a "this will remind us of high level conversation points if needed".

That being said, the notetaker is a supplementary component. It's never "in replace of a person". If someone sends an AI to my meeting instead of showing up themselves, I'm kicking it out.

If there is too much going on or too many meetings, learn to use meetings better. Learn to use emails. I'd much rather exchange a few emails than talk at an AI bot. Hell, I'll use my own AI to help me craft the email if I really feel its needed, but at least then I have the chance to make sure its right before I hit send.

You're 100% right. It's still against the TOS. But enough money (For Apple) will make the fruit ignore a lot of things. Sadly, this has always been the way of corporations.

You're not wrong, but also there is a big difference between "apple wallet" and "emergency alerts". There is nothing life or death coming from apple wallet.

Also also, Apple (and basically all devs) have instrumentation to tell them if people are disabling notifications. So if enough people disable notifications for Apple Wallet, I promise you someone in corporate will notice.

This annoyed me. Any app that pushes me adverts gets its push notifications turned off. Sure, I'd love to know my package status Amazon, but you send me some advert of something stupid every 3 hours (it feels like)... so no, you don't get notifications.

I get enough advertising in my life, without it constantly assaulting me every time I check my watch or phone lock screen. So no Apple Wallet, you do not get to keep your notification privileges.

Makes sense. The thing people forget about SOC2 is that it's very not-technical and very much so written by CPA's. No two SOC2's are identical. Hell the same companies SOC2 done by different auditors will be different.

Saying "The United States of America National Institute of Standards and Technology says X on page 423 of Special Publication 800-53 revision 5" is a really awesome "We're doing things the RIGHT way".

This I found out the unfortunate way. I used some popular monk fruit sweetener... packets were just monk fruit but the bulk packages were monk fruit/erythritol blend and I didn't pay enough attention to the label. Made lemonade with it.

Spent the rest of the day on the toilet.

Monk Fruit! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siraitia_grosvenorii

True. But he was using a variation of the Waffle House logo that their lawyers would argue would "confuse the average consumer", and he was using the "Waffle House" name in a domain. In something that was actually directly related to the real Waffle House. Unfortunately, their lawyers would have an easy time with that lawsuit.

If op had named it something different, and didn't use such a closely inspired logo, he probably could have kept it up. Or at least had a much stronger case of fair use. But this is always the problem with "fan appreciation" and our trademark system. In order for Waffle House to keep their trademark, they must enforce it. They cannot let a fan use/abuse it, or else it can get to the point where a judge can say it is been made generic (ex: escalator).

When I was young, I learned this lesson via a very scary letter from Warner Brothers. The lawyers aren't always trying to be dicks (though some clearly are), but they are paid to protect the brand. And someone registering a site with your brand name, putting up a logo very similar to your real logo.... is always 100% of the time going to get that C&D letter. And eventually a lawsuit if you fail to comply.

First.... 99% of people have zero interest in hosting things themselves anyways. Like on their own server themselves. Geocities era was possibly the first and last time that "having your own page" was cool, and that was basically killed by social media.

As for certs... maybe at the start it was hard, but it's really quite easy to host things online, with a valid certificate. There are many CDN services like Cloudflare which will handle it for you. There are also application proxies like Traefik and Caddy which will get certs for you.

Most people who want their own site today, will use Kinsta or SquareSpace or GitHub pages any one of thousands of page/site hosting services. All of whom have a system for certificates that is so easy to use, most people don't even realize it is happening.

Lower blood ox could just be you sleeping on your arm. Among other things.

If you're concerned with Sleep apnea testing is very easy these days. You goto a sleep specialist, they give you a little kit you take home, you put it on for one night, they look at the data. Done! It's not like even a decade or so ago where it's "goto sleep lab", most of it's done at home now for the initial investigation.

Eh. Investors/advisors don't change that frequently. And often people will go "oh? Sequoia generally invests in good companies, the invest in X? They might be worth while to buy/work for".

Putting people on the website is, very variable. Do you update the website every week or two when someone comes or leaves? Well that's awkward if someone is fired.

You get to 100 people, then 200 people. Now what do you do? Remove everyone? Only put people on above a certain level? What do you do when someone asks you not to be listed. Or when John becomes Jane, but doesn't want to be super duper public about it?

Or, when your company gets media attention and now the moment you add/remove someone from the website you get news or social media posts about it?

Except the second it looks like their might be a chance for prosecution... there will be a pardon.

My statement was “whose logo is a dot or dots?” But someone at my SB party, who isn’t a techy said the same thing you did “isn’t it Cisco?”

That is gnarly. My iPhone tended to lock into one or the other, rotating the phone seemed to help it go one way or the other. But a couple times it did flash back and forth between the Mastadon and GitHub links.

This is cool, do love the hacking ingenuity. And not that I want to give Apple extra credit, but they are slowly opening up NFC: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-nfc-chip-ios-18-1/ - Is is very restrictive (probably) and very late - most certainly. But at least it's slowly coming.

It's SSO tax applied to hardware devices. But at the same time, it's clearly a more premium feature and if you're a business you've got the $5000/year to pay for 1000 devices. $5/device/year is not exactly expensive. Heck, I'd pay Ubiquiti $15/year for my family to be able to use it at home. That's less than I pay for almost any subscription for anything.

Yea. That doesn't sound right. I'd say Op should talk to a lawyer ASAP.

I mean, bad to agree to in the first place, but it doesn't seem like a contract where the other party is non-performant, should be enforceable.

When I read these headlines I wonder "Causation? Correlation?". Maybe it's addressed in the study but.....

Is it that navigating with you brain is good to prevent Alzheimers? Or are you just more likely to die from something else as a cabbie. Statically speaking your more likely to die, than average, from a traffic related accident. Maybe the all the fumes cause something else terrible that kills you, etc.

It does seem logical to me that using your brain more could help offset these dementia related diseases. But it also seems like if that made a huge difference, we'd see statistically vastly more alzheimers in "low thought" jobs like retail cashiers and people who don't work/retire early vs say... collegiate professors.

They are coming up on 4 years old. I have quite a number of them and do have to replace batteries frequently enough that it can get annoying.

I'm sure Apple will innovate and come up with something newer/better/etc at some point. But it's unlikely the gen1 devices will go away anytime soon. Even if the real life is only... 5 years, that still saves a number of battery changes for devices that maybe you don't want to deal with regularly.

And with the fact that Apple had enough demand to increase the limit from 16 to 32 per account ( https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/12/airtag-limit/ ). Clearly people have bought into the ecosystem in a big way. 30 Airtags * $25 each is $750. I don't think they'll decommission the gen1 system anytime soon with that much investment. Plus Apple is surprisingly good at supporting their hardware for a reasonable amount of time. The iPhone XR from 2018 is still supported by iOS 18.

When he bought it, sure? Probably more like 20 X's

Never used it but seen it mentioned in that space: https://gamma.app/

There are too many cheap clones. Too much stealing of the open source work. This isn't remotely shocking, just look at Redis, Elastic and many many others... Open Source works until it doesn't.

I don't buy Prusa because they are OSH, I buy them because they are great printers. They are an open platform, if not open source. Which is good enough for my needs. If these changes they are making will allow Prusa to keep producing world class devices at reasonable prices, then more power to them.

And yes, I know some people hate Prusa or have had major issues. But they do a lot to move 3D printing forward, rising tide lifts all boats and all that jazz. We want all respectable and reputable 3D printer companies to succeed - because then everyone wins.
