Good. What else can really be said? Only way for it to work and not be trivially blocked is to mix with legit emails.

Searching for digital contraband.

Why not? Should it be illegal for someone to have multiple part time jobs?

I do not see the big deal. I guess some have never encountered paraprofessionals and heard their stories?

If the government wants you no amount of technical gotchas will prevent this.

Exponential growth. No company could handle that without some issues. Good luck to them. And for those who cannot tolerate this, there are many self hosted options.

$650 for anyone who does not want to click. Hard sell compared to the iPhone 17e but more choice is good.

I remember similar things said 6 months before the 2024 election

Huh? Solar has all of that and doesn't even have moving parts. The only arguable downside is it increases more sunlight absorbed by the earth (as opposed to reflecting it). You may say but what about nighttime - im talking about in aggregate on earth, just like hydro only works well with only water

Why so much emphasis on Flock here? In manhattan i feel virtually every place has cameras.

You will be hard pressed to find a block without them. What’s stopping a company from paying these people for their footage in return for “safety”?

I will not claim a 5070, but there is already evidence in nature that you can get very good general intelligence with an order of magnitude less wattage.

There are constraints of course- training takes way longer.

Similar things are on amazon today 300-500. Not worth it imho. If you are going to keep it on, convert your bike with middrive or hub motor once.

Not adjusted for inflation, so useless. At least do % of gdp which is also flawed but better than this.

With my 5080 laptop so close yet so far to using this stuff

How do you make e2e password management work on multiple devices as convenient as not? You cannot.

Most people who use Google trust them. And if you do not trust them then why are you using their password manager? You see? Hence why they do not bother.

Of course one might read this and say, multi device e2ee is possible! Sure, but can you allow for recovery when people inevitably lose their recovery codes at scale? If you really care about this it is not necessary to go with Google.

I stand by my original comment:

The average user does not want it.

It is unclear to me how you can regulate any digital service with respect to any demographic identity without regression to full identity check.

Parental controls are not a solution, either. People are free to use any terminal they wish. If you wanted to change that then it again regresses to the same issue.

If you think about it for a moment you will realize the average user does not want that.

I know everyone loves to hate on google but i find search overviews and asking gemini to search for things way faster than any alternative. I was curious about a development near me and asked literally that and gemini pulled court records in about 20 seconds

Anyway, back to this - it seems to be more like the AI equivalent of algolia than google

A simple website controlled by VCs, lol

Netflix is an alternative to movie theaters

Netflix and YouTube probably are orders of magnitude less than the alternative of driving to plays and movie theaters. Most golf courses use recycled water, albeit the opportunity cost is real. Almond farming is fair.

I rarely see a real use case bottle necked on garbage collection.

I always find it strange that flutter isn’t built with golang or typescript. Why use a new language? When flutter came out both languages existed so curious about that.

The main reason i can think of is generics not existing initially

You can buy the phone for the difference in price, so effectively just zero percent loan.

This is effectively a discount, what’s the problem?

Why are people so obsessed with this, it is a no risk 0 percent interest loan. Lots of parities do this, cars, expensive furniture, etc.

No, not a traditional one. You would render the entire page in your server, remove the ads, copy the modified html and your client would get ad free copy. You are not blocking anything in the traditional sense. Ask claude to do it, it works.

Ublock origin doesnt use javascript. The script just involves a tree traversal of the dom and removal of any node that says ad.

The issue is facebook obfuscates selectors so you cant easily do it the way ublock prefers.

Assuming you insist on using facebook you can proxy it, using a simple script that removes all ads prior to serving. The problem of course is that this is not cheap. Easier to just not use facebook.

That works, but is not really blocking the ads.
