chefkd··on A book Stanley Kubrick didn’t want anyone to read is being published
Does that mean dead people have no copyright rights as well? Curious what makes image likeness different than any other asset

I'm confused isn't sending lawyers basically the same thing as a veto? Or am I misunderstanding
chefkd··on Proton Mail discloses user data leading to arrest in Spain
How could one go off grid without going off grid do you think? Cash, bitcoin, prepaid cards, VPNs they all seem traceable if truly needed
chefkd··on The Runners Who Went So Hard They Were Never the Same
No long trail walking usually or drifting. Thank you for the wool suggestion I've heard they dry a lot faster as well. I used to walk 4-7 miles to and from school. Now I drift which may be up to 10 miles per day could that be the only issue here?
chefkd··on The Runners Who Went So Hard They Were Never the Same
Kind of weird question: my feet blister so much like used to walk miles without that happening but after moving to the US it became such a regular thing. Is this common? Are there any preventative measures one could take?
chefkd··on Investors won't give you the real reason they are passing on your startup
Idk if this is a TikTok or HN stat but I read something that's like 80% of people prefer to work with people they like. Can someone link the paper if it's not a figment of my imagination?
chefkd··on Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed just learning python right now can the wizards explain how this would work? Isn't data stored in memory super random so the attacker would need to upload an image multiple times to get sensitive data? Or does the webp image itself have code that will be run and can retrieve the data?
chefkd··on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production
I think is just the way of the world. Not saying it's right but it's just reality. I come from a place where people kill and do horrible things for 10 dollars a day to build the same battery with maybe a 10 percent drop in quality. I doubt anyone in the US would be willing to work for that comparative advantage or something at play. How would you ensure that doesn't happen? Making everyone equal via something like Marshall Plan type thing is considered Marxist rhetoric I doubt it would be viable right? Plus there's the issue of competing nations
chefkd··on Every map of China is wrong
Whoa so many mind blowing facts. Does the orbit change or does the lens rotate? If one knos the rotation degree can the total number of satellites it would take to cover the entire earth be calculated?
chefkd··on Every map of China is wrong
Could something like the SR-71 or hot air balloons be used to make accurate maps? In my head satellites which are expensive only follow one orbital path but a plane or a balloon can cover multiple regions
chefkd··on Ask HN: I have been unable to land a job in two years, does anybody
Hang in there tech is just caught up in something way bigger. I'm also in the same position but trying to get a non tech job and code for fun
chefkd··on Gene banks aren’t enough to save the world’s food
This may be a little tangential (sorry) how is the planet's carrying capacity calculated? The malthusian school of thought never made sense to me
chefkd··on Tesla retreats from one-piece "gigacasting" manufacturing process
That's so cool if it isn't weird to ask are there any current early stage companies you think have the potential to become like Tesla? Asking for a friend :)
chefkd··on Tesla retreats from one-piece "gigacasting" manufacturing process
valid the big 10 traditional automakers still rule supreme in terms of total car sales but from a climate change and geopolitical POV (less reliance oil would mean less reliance on energy rich nations and adversaries like Russia and the Gulf States) wouldn't it be a safe bet to say Tesla is positioned to profit off that? even with tumultuous leadership
chefkd··on Fed Says Inflation Progress Has Stalled, Extends Wait-and-See Stance
Can it be reversed? Or what reversed it the previous times it happened? Do we just wait for consumer behavior to shift back and whatever the Fed does it doesn't matter?
chefkd··on Tesla retreats from one-piece "gigacasting" manufacturing process
Do you really think Tesla is going bankrupt? 90 billion in revenue, 10 billion in profit seems healthy? In terms of market share Tesla sold more than Chevrolet, Ford and Volkswagen combined. Granted idk much about valuations just curious what people look at is it something to do with the stock price itself?
chefkd··on Fed Says Inflation Progress Has Stalled, Extends Wait-and-See Stance
Does anyone well versed in economics see a big similarity between [1960s & 2010s] / [1970s & 2020s]? It seems super similar in terms of social protests & inflation that followed immediately after
chefkd··on Are We Modules Yet?
for the wizards where would be a good place to start for someone who did a python bootcamp but wants to learn C++ and contribute to some of these?
