They are a required / no alternatives industry by so much of the USA, with limited alternatives. Is it really more cost-effective for each of these companies to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to avoid tariffs when they could easily pass on these costs because we have no alternatives?
This makes your order sit longer until someone decides to do it, perhaps because there's a penalty from the company for declining jobs, and the driver is willing to lose money to remain in good standing
There was one study that saw 0 participants who contracted HIV during the trial according to the data on the FDA PDF [0]. Was 2,000 participants in Africa who were identified as potentially at risk, aged 16-25.
> YEZTUGO demonstrated superiority with a 100% reduction in the risk of incident HIV-1 infection over TRUVADA (Table 13).
~2,000 given YEZTUGO with 0 infections by the end. ~1,000 given TRUVADA with 16 infections by the end.
Now, this is a great study result if accurate. Substantially better. However, 100% protection is misleading clickbait article. The company does not claim to be 100% effective anywhere I can see... and at best they lifted this statement from this study to use as clickbait.

A woman developed what we call schizophrenia. She hid it reasonably well, but eventually was hospitalized for it.
Later they found cancer. While treating the cancer, her schizophrenia "magically" disappeared. Seemingly for good.
The article points that this isn't a unique case, and that schizophrenia, as a "hopeless disease," doesn't get enough attention... And there's no real sub classification to determine what lead to a set of symptoms (which is the only current diagnostic criteria).
So the speculation is that autoimmune treatments might cure or help some forms of schizophrenia.
Read the full article if this story sounds interesting!
There is an argument to be made that Apple is better positioned to fight financially... However, the current administration tends to threaten blocking or mergers/acquisitions, or other red tape unless they comply. I doubt Apple would accept such financially damaging threats to protect ICEBlock's users.

(Concerned that the information they would be required to store and handle may require they work with the government during a subpoena)
Apple also has to handle this (internally) to do push notifications, but I suppose that theory is Apple has pockets to fight the government (or it's at least out of the developers hands)
Similar to Amazon.
People don't shop at Amazon for the amazing UI around buying stuff. It's absolutely ludicrously atrocious for a trillion dollar company. But the focus is getting you to buy the items that make them the most money, not the item you want.
Otherwise, we would have to physically page or add dialogues people would have to click to close, just to see page 2 of table data
I imagine there's a lot more data pointing to the super bowl being upcoming, then the super bowl concluding with the score.
Gonna be scary when bot farms are paid to make massive amounts of politically motivated false content (specifically) targeting future LLMs training
These are servers that asked to be advertised by Discord ("Discovery"). These are unlikely to be any kind of servers used for private or even semi-private discussions. You likely don't know most of the people on the server.
Most likely, the 'hottest' kind of data you might find is someone accidentally leaking info akin to the World of Tanks forum post 'corrections'.
Pay up front for benefits that are realized later, upon further action.
I have a membership with my local craft brewery that I love to frequent that similarly could be considered a PNBL like financial thing.
Arguably, it's also gift cards, though yeah, without any benefit, no one really buys gift cards for themselves.
People felt 5-10 minutes isn't enough time for something as serious as insurance.. but 25-30 is so long it turns people away... And then 5%, maybe even 10% savings isn't enough to go through the effort, but 25% seems unrealistic....
You need a document long enough to seem informative and authoritative without being too extreme in any way... Then you can slap a price on it and call it a book!
There are cams that can do a rear view as well from inside the cab, which likely provides enough evidence if you're rear ended.
I only opted for a forward facing dash cam.
In my state, you are 100% at fault for rear ending someone unless you can prove your innocence -- which a dashcam can do assuming the person in front does something shady (like lane change + intentionally slam breaks).
However, do note that dash cams are not going to magically make rear ending the person in front of you somehow that person's fault. Virtually no one seems to leave enough follow distance by default because doing so means someone merged into the space.. and a dash cam doesn't shift the blame for simple rear endings unless it can prove some kind of malice or inattentiveness on the other driver (but even then, inattentiveness of the other driver is not necessarily a legal defense for you not leaving enough room to react.. perhaps if they stopped faster than a car could be expected to break, e.g. hit a concrete wall....) -- of course, laws vary by state
The judge was aware of the warrant and ensured the defendant remained in private areas so they could get out of the building.
The FBI's argument is that her actions were unusual (a defendant being allowed into juror's corridors is highly unusual) and were only being taken explicitly to assist in evading ICE.
As we've heard from many lawyers recently regarding ICE... You are not required to participate and assist. However, you can't take additional actions to directly interfere. Even loudly shouting "WHY IS ICE HERE?" is dangerous (you probably should shout a more generic police concern, like 'hey, police, is there a criminal nearby? should i hide?'
Judge Dugan escorted the subject through a "jurors door" to private hallways and exits instead of having the defendant leave via the main doors into the public hallway, where she visually confirmed the agents were waiting for him.
I couldn't tell if the judge knew for certain that ICE was only permitted to detain the defendant in 'public spaces' or not.
Regardless, the judge took specific and highly unusual action to ensure the defendant didn't go out the normal exit into ICE hands -- and that's the basis for the arrest.
I don't necessarily agree with ICE actions, but I also can't refute that the judge took action to attempt to protect the individual. On one side you kind of want immigrants to show up to court when charged with crimes so they can defend themselves... but on the other side, this individual deported in 2013 and returned to the country without permission (as opposed to the permission expiring, or being revoked, so there was no potential 'visa/asylum/permission due process' questions)
Highly technical people tend to come in two varieties when it comes to electronics in their personal life:
1. Absolutely nothing smart that's not under their direct (or highly configurable) control.
2. Sure just take all my data I don't care. I'll pay subscriptions fees too.
Modern cars mostly do #2... to the point we potentially faced a subscription being required to enable seat warmers [0]. There's basically no cars on the market that do #1 anymore.
And with #2, you're bound by what the vehicle manufacturer decides. They are ending up like forced cable boxes - minimum viable product quality. They can be slow to change pages/views and finicky in touch responses... which I think are actually more dangerous... but this is our only option if this is the car we pick... and almost no one decides on a car for it's infotainment, so it's not a feature that gets much love or attention.
Additionally, technology moves too fast. My first car had a tape deck. The next one had a CD Player.. then I had to get an mp3-player-to-radio dongle, then I replaced my infotainment system with a bluetooth supporting one... and so on.. Even Android Auto (early versions) integrated directly into the infotainment system and needed potentially proprietary cables (USB-to-proprietary connector), and the systems did not look designed to be upgraded/replaced.
This model here allows you to upgrade your infotainment system every time you upgrade your phone (or dedicated tablet)... or simply by changing apps.
Also, Android Auto has mostly solved that UX issue (It's the same UX on a tablet as on an equivalent built-in infotainment system).. Though iPads probably (?) don't have a similar feature.
So I think the 'bring your own infotainment' idea is awesome.
If this is meant as a tool similar to DVWA, I figured the author might want to be aware that DVWA causes a LOT of problems in K-12 because of it's name. If someone renamed it to "Darn", it would have saved a collective hundreds if not thousands of hours of K-12 educator time.
Many K-12 educators will not touch DVWA because of its name.
I figured the author of DVMCP would like to know that, if they want to improve adoption.
Parents are the ones saying "Damn" is inappropriate. Employers don't want to get a frivolous lawsuit. Congress has not limited my speech.
I was just commenting here in case the project owner wanted to increase the potential distribution of their content. Put simply, having "Damn" in the name means that it will face a distribution problem in the under-18 age range.
I personally have no issues with the word, but DVWA has been extremely popular, and I am crossing my fingers for more content, in general, that is like that.
As a part-time community college educator: I found using "Damn" in course work is problematic in discussions with colleagues or students that felt it might not be appropriate and asked me to change it. DVWA is obviously not my work to change, so I had to clone it and rename it, which is easy enough for me, but not most educators (remember: most cyber security teachers in the USA are high school Math teachers). It can be easy to stick to the acronym in a lot of cases, but it tends to pop out for carious reasons...
In my role supporting coursework for the Commonwealth of Virginia: I'd love to consider adding this to the Virginia Cyber Range / US Cyber Range, but we serve middle schoolers (or younger!) and that's 100% a "bad word". It would make our lives (and anyone in our boat) easier if if was renamed to even "Darn"
The above is similar to recent reviews I've seen.
It's infuriating that there is a reliance on user reporting to find and report COMPLETELY OBVIOUS fake reviews on Amazon. A great example of why competition is necessary, and not just from one other entity equally interested in allowing the others existing to avoid being a "monopoly"
If a classroom of 14 year olds are making a game in their computer science class, and they use AI to make placeholder images... Was a real artist harmed?
The teacher certainly cant afford to pay artists to provide content for all the students games, and most students can't afford to hire an artist either.. they perhaps can't even legally do it, if the artist requires a contract... they are underage in most countries to sign a contract.
This technology gives the kids a lot more freedom than a pre-packaged asset library, and can encourage more engagement with the course content, leading to more people interested in creative-employing pursuits.
So, I think this technology can create a new generation of creative individuals, and statements about the blanket harm need to be qualified.
e.g. cameras at an intersection that had an accident: It probably would take 'a day or two' at least for such a request to get to the camera operators to request they send a copy.
I'd also personally prefer speed cameras that are not point-in-time records. This just encourages police to put them where they know people are more likely to violate the law, like at the bottom of hills, where there's not really a danger, but it generates more revenue.
I'd want speed cameras that are miles apart... and the determination that you get a speeding ticket is that you traveled several miles at high speed.
Additionally, it's bizarre because the journalist isn't using the computer to gather the information, the police are... and they are legally allowed to -- the code specifically says only law enforcement may do this while performing job duties.
So they are arguing that there's some sort of transitive property where law enforcement are no longer law enforcement performing job duties if they are acting on request from a journalist... or that the journalist is a mastermind in a felony because he is requesting to see his own records.
Is that something that can catch up, or is it simply a density issue that can't be terribly optimized?
Right now it looks like it takes ~75% more space for the equivalent power... after two decades like Lithium-ion has had, can that reach current density/size for the same power, or will it hit a cap?
Still nice to see a battery tech hit the market.
Here we are, still able to see that content.. and so can search engines and AI.
No one here at HN has done anything to remove the content that only exists to attack and demean, even though it looks like troll accounts.
We down vote it, flag it, hide it, but it's still there.
I don't know much about this particular situation, but I can empathize.
