dcdc123··on Qatar Bans Beer Sales at World Cup Stadiums
It’s only for the poors. The suites and club level will still have alcohol.
dcdc123··on Two weeks of dealing with Google as a developer
Support legislation requiring Apple and Google to allow third party app stores.
dcdc123··on Infosys leaked FullAdminAccess AWS keys on PyPI for over a year
Their entire cybersecurity page is just a bunch of gibberish. It's like someone slapped together buzzwords and phrases until they filled a word count.
dcdc123··on Ask HN: Have you set up a procedure to disclose your passwords in case of death?
LastPass has this functionality. You designate a person who can request access and a timeframe and once they request it notifies you everywhere and if you don’t respond in the timeframe it grants them access.
dcdc123··on Electric scooter ban increased congestion by 10% in Atlanta
That's not an Atlanta thing, they are a major annoyance everywhere. The people that use them just don't give a shit.
dcdc123··on SiriSpy – iOS bug allowed apps to eavesdrop on your conversations with Siri
The only reason I even have it enabled is because it is required for voicemail transcription.
dcdc123··on The hotel I booked online became a homeless shelter and no one told me
I’ve tried booking through hotels directly and it’s never been cheaper. It is so weird. I usually end up using hotels.com which is just one of many booking services owned by Expedia.
dcdc123··on Why are there so few dead bugs on windshields these days?
I just drove from Albuquerque to Phoenix via Flagstaff and my entire windshield is plastered with bugs.
dcdc123··on Nvidia’s Implicit Warping is a potentially powerful deepfake technique
Whatever it is my blocking plugins remove it.
dcdc123··on American Airlines is trying to stop a popular app used by flight attendants
I have never had an uneventful flight on American. I avoid them even if it costs me more time and money.
dcdc123··on Vogtle Unit 3 starts nuclear fuel load
> (Edit: that's six 960 MWe reactors, not 6,950 MWe reactors.)

That is why I almost always prefer to write out single-digit numbers.

e.g. Zaporizhzhia NPP (largest in Europe) has six 950 MWe reactors

dcdc123··on Intel plans thousands of job cuts in face of PC slowdown
They had also suspended dividends and after getting the money immediately reinstated them.
dcdc123··on Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting?
https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/ is a great community with lots of resources as well. Check the sidebar and wiki there.

Also, if you are into Docker, I love the images hosted by these guys. https://www.linuxserver.io/

dcdc123··on The Pound's Warning for Europe
I think I will pass on reading those...
dcdc123··on The Pound's Warning for Europe
There is something similar [1] in Nevada, USA that uses molten salt to store energy. I drove through a few months ago and was blown away by it. The top of the tower was so bright that I could see it from the moment it started to crest the horizon.

dcdc123··on The Pound's Warning for Europe
> The European energy war of 2022 will almost certainly go down in history, along with the Treaty of Versailles, as one of the worst economic blunders in history.

No, it is absolutely necessary. What will go down as one of the worst blunders in history is allowing Europe to become so dependent on a single hostile country for energy.

dcdc123··on Red Dead Redemption 2 fan with 6k hours on Stadia begs for character transfer
Man that sucks. Just to point something out, the nvidia solution uses your steam account and syncs save files with steam for supported games just like it does when you install it locally.
dcdc123··on Meta has banned the personal Facebook accounts for everyone on our team
It’s not broken, it opens in a new tab. Your browser or adblocker is probably breaking it.
dcdc123··on Meta has banned the personal Facebook accounts for everyone on our team
> Their website doesn't even have a privacy policy, just a dummy link

That’s not true at all. They have a privacy policy linked at the bottom of their page. It opens in a new tab by default which is probably blocked by our adblocker.

dcdc123··on What does “serverless” mean to you? So many companies are using it
Serverless to me just means I don't have to worry about managing a server (as in hardware, OS, updates, etc, etc.) I just have to manage an app/container.
dcdc123··on Federal Reserve to increase interest rates by 75 basis points for the third time
Are rates for investment companies also affected by this? Like if a company wants to buy 30-50 houses to rent out, do they borrow at a similar rate?
dcdc123··on Why Figma Is Worth $20B and Other Observations from the Adobe Acquisition
That depends entirely on the contract with Adobe which almost definitely would prevent that.
dcdc123··on Factorio is coming to Nintendo Switch
I own a Switch and a Steam Deck. While the Deck _looks_ too big, it feels much better and is more comfortable for long gaming sessions.
dcdc123··on US special ops aircraft stuck in a Norwegian nature preserve
> "These things never seem to happen at airfields. They always seem to happen in Norwegian nature preserves above the Arctic Circle at the onset of winter," Slife added.
dcdc123··on Factorio is coming to Nintendo Switch
I hope they do this purely because that means controller support will be improved enough to play it on Steam Deck.

Suboxone, a drug to treat opiate addiction. (According to her reply on Twitter)
dcdc123··on Will I Ever See the $36MM Oberlin College Owes Me?

dcdc123··on Chrome allows websites to write to the clipboard without the user’s permission
I’ve been thinking about switching back to Firefox. Care to share an example?
dcdc123··on Slack’s free plan change is causing an exodus
My rather large extended friend group uses Slack free quite heavily. We have less than 90 days history right now so are looking forward to the change. It is also nice to know exactly how long messages will be around for. I think people are overreacting.
dcdc123··on Toptal trying to sue us for saying there are Toptal alternatives that cost less
ditto
