doesn't work on arch (btw)

I regularly see human drivers intentionally run red lights.

Not just the kind where they try to make a yellow that they clearly weren’t gonna make, but also they stop at a red light, wait to see if there’s cross traffic, and then intentionally run the red light.

I'm sorry, but what about the Quest 3 on paper seems to you to be close to the Vision Pro?

this is the most HN thread ever

carrots and sticks

here you go, comrade - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-pr...

Ban it for reciprocal reasons.

Either China allows FB, Google, Instagram, X, etc to operate there.

Or we ban TikTok here.

Countries already have unfair competition protections, this would fall under that.

This is about to breed a new generation of insufferable folks, who’ll introduce themselves as “I work at Superalignment” ala “I work at DeepMind” (no, you used to work ar Alphabet, and now you work at Google)

The SF dilemma:

- can’t own a car because expensive, no parking, will get broken into

- can’t use a bike because roads are dangerous for bikers and bike will get stolen if parked outside

- can’t use uber/lyft because expensive, companies abuse drivers

- can’t use public transport, because it doesn’t cover enough of the city, timetable unpredictable, can be dangerous or unpleasant

- can’t use self-driving cars, because they occasionally interfere with public services, are run by big tech

why not also throw in how much money you make to complete the dunk?

Let's be 100% clear on this - nobody is forcing the merchants into accepting credit cards. In fact, many don't. They do fine as cash-only businesses.

The hard economic reality is that accepting credit cards increases your sales, presumably enough to make the interchange fees worth it.

At last, Afterpay, Affirm etc. charge 600 bps (6%) interchange for their 4 split payments offer. Again, no one forces merchants to accept these payment methods, but the ones that do clearly see the benefit to the top line resulting from higher conversions.

I think this comes down to you being Norwegian (ie getting good quality govt services in exchange for your taxes). Now imagine being Greek. If folks realised they're paying 22.5% to the govt on top of everything they purchase... they wouldn't be very happy.

so did DeepMind, excuse me, Google DeepMind.

I would not be surprised if this is another Wirecard/FTX brewing, and I will also not be surprised if it's all 100% legit.

image labeling, although even then they had some oopsies with classification in Google Photos

Signed up right away. How does it work?

In 2018 an obnoxious researcher working at a company known at the time as DeepMind told me (who was working in healthtech) that "AI in healthcare is a solved problem".

It's 2023 now. AI in healthcare is a rounding error and will likely stay that way for a decade or longer. Google blew a 7 year lead of being an AI-first company to a non-profit. DeepMind is now a team within Google, similar to Ads, Drive, and Shopping Express.

have you read the financials of the banks you bank with? have you read the source code of every app/other software that you use?

Interesting new world folks are suggesting here, where depositors can't trust the highly regulated banks they bank with.

Is the SVB situation a death knell for banks?

Libertarian, "small govt" VCs squealing for govt intervention... It would be funny if not for tens of thousands of people who might not receive their paycheck next week.

First, this looks awesome. Can't wait to try zed.

Second, forgive a naive question since I know nothing about graphics, but would the method described in the article perform better than Alacritty + Neovim?

you made a throwaway account to post this? Was this too hot a take for your real account ?

Uh, if only there existed a neutral, owned-by-no-one, decentralized monetary network with instant low-cost transfers and finality.

Too bad this sort of stuff is out of science fiction.

EDIT: aaaand I'm being downvoted :) At least leave a comment.

here is a link to a report of that happening to a Google Fi customer:

https://old.reddit.com/r/GoogleFi/comments/10pjtie/google_fi...

I don't work at Google and don't know if this is possible with Google Voice. However, Google Fi is their paid service, so I would assume that's the one they'd want to protect the most.

this is very interesting, thanks for sharing!

This is part of my question. How does Google provision VoIP numbers? When someone calls / texts a VoIP number from a normal number, that call / SMS travels over normal wireless infrastructure. So VoIP numbers are still connected to the same infra, right?

no, of course not. (nice straw-man attempt, btw)

Just the way boards of companies have fiduciary duty, there should be some of sort customer information protection duty that companies are responsible / liable for. basic security practices are being neglected at far too many companies.

they pay-off / trick a T-Mobile employee into re-assigning your Google Voice number to them. It's happened before with Google Fi, but I haven't seen any public information about this happening with Google Voice (yet)
