I replaced my Pixel XL battery earlier this year, still works great as a backup and/or hacker news browsing device.

At least a couple others have recreated this performance, and most striking to me is the survivorship bias. Guess if the videos where literally nothing interesting happened went viral with commenters praising the artist's safety among the audience.

She's said some of her views on theories are contentious. I'd like to hear from the other side. What claim does she make about quantum gravity, and how is it inconsistent with special relativity?

This fellow's writing is new to me so I found an old post [0] to compare. I don't know, it seems equally gushy to me.

Wait, does MacOS report file sizes in base 10 as well, or just disks?

The only court that can coerce YouTube to change its policies is here... public opinion.

I've heard of organizations like Footsteps[0] that help NYC Orthodox Jews leave. I sure hope there's something like that in Israel.

Evidence for attribution to North Korea?

You can receive funds to an Alipay account in yuan without having a Chinese bank account. Thus services like Swapsy exist to coordinate pairs of private transactions, where the other party sends USD through Zelle or similar.

"Success" could include a type of "business model" but other positive-sum games, too.

While I mostly agree, especially that I've scrolled past this video's clickbait thumbnail and title before, I suggest using this tool: letsblock.it/filters/youtube-channel

Instead of blanket filtering verified accounts, I spent a few minutes one day plugging in all the obnoxious channels that show up on YT's homepage when signed out.

IMAX theaters have been around since the 70s. The last time I saw an IMAX film was before Palm PDAs, so when I hear this I'm thinking that they've kept up with technology more than I expected.

In this case it was not the attempt to retrieve the tablet that caused the accident, it was being unable to reach it to remove it from being jammed in the pedals.

We should use different language to distinguish YouTube's system of controlling intellectual property versus copyright. These two systems have some common aspects but have significant differences.

I suggest sticking to "copystrike" and "content ID" as that is already YouTube's terminology.

I don't know what the equivalent of "fair use" would be, but that may be moot as I don't think such a concept exists over there.

The problems associated with this credit system were famously analyzed after the Capitol Hill Babysitting Co-op ran into, and resolved them.

This is a forum of hackers, so this ought to be easy to answer:

Alice is using a Pixel XL in 2023. Its last Android patch was in 2019, on Android 10, but she keeps up with play store updates. Other than this, she is reasonably security conscientious. She does not sideload strange apps, but could be tricked into visiting a malicious link before exiting out of it. She is not a high value target.

By 2024 Eve has hacked Alice's phone as a result of this outdated phone. What is the most likely mechanism?

Here are my speculations:

Visiting a malicious link at the same time there is a major browser vulnerability. This sandboxes the malware, unless there is a second vulnerability, a sandbox escape.

Receiving a malicious text message that exploits a Message app vulnerability.

Attack on the baseband processor.

Pleas correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any of these as being very likely.

reddit once offered users who were the first to send a postcard from a country a month of gold. I wonder if they still have that wall of postcards.

Mea culpa, the article mentions her. Though they do not detail exactly why she was fired, which I think they should.

I thought they had an employee for that. I mean they used to, was Victoria her name? She took dictation for celebrities until one of them complained when she transcribed their words too directly, when she was fired. Did no one replace her?

I've seen it, both with wildly off reviews, and also in my historical orders.

Try browsing through your oldest Amazon orders--you may very well see something you didn't buy at those links now.

So, there was probably some person born in a manger a couple months after the first year AD, on the day after February 28th, in Korea... When did he turn 30 exactly?

floor and ceil ideas apply to age and calendar years nicely because the underlying value, time, is on the real number line.

Sounds like it would fall under the umbrella of "consensual non-consent (CNC)"

With smartphones this would be a problem. With TVs you do still always have the option to use it disconnected/dumb with your own computer, chromecast, TV box, console, whatever.

Undesirable resharing of personal information is only one consequence. In my time on the internet I've known it to be said in the context of other consequences, be it archiving, digital archaeology, datahoarding, etc.

I do like legislation that stops big players from using their resources to be exploitive, and I understand the right to be forgotten for individuals.

The other edge of the sword is all the reasons why information wants to be free. I am biased towards this side.

Either way, I think it's important to remember to operate under the axiom that nothing is deleted from the internet. Deletion (by legislation or by privacy tools and services) is a cludge, and saving and resharing is the natural force.
