I have a Vietnam bank account tho I live in the States now. I recently enabled developer mode in my Android phone, didn't think much of it. But later when I open my mobile banking app it told me to disable developer mode in order to open the app.

It's not just root that they block.

I appreciate the link to differences in differences, I didn't know what to call this method.

The OP's point could still be valid: it’s still possible that macro factors like inflation, interest rates, or tariffs land harder on the exact group they label ‘AI-exposed.’ That makes the attribution messy.

I want to build my own agents so I can my private domain specific awareness in the coding environment: PRDs, product docs, API docs, business goals, etc. I'm assuming I could point this to any API compatible endpoint and build my own agents?

I'm getting an SSL error in Chrome for Android.

This is due to NextDNS, possibly the domain is on a blocklist.

The article mentions this.

> "Detroit's police chief said their facial recognition technology, when used alone, fails 96% of the time, Insider previously reported."

When it fails 96% of the time, are they given a hundred possible matches to scroll through? If so, that's concerning to the majority of people showing up without any affiliation to a crime.

Seattle's air pollution quality is so low because there's a vast ocean separating the Seattleites from the manufacturing that supplies it with new phones, appliances, furniture, clothing, building materials and just about everything from the source of the pollution.

Rain is nice, but that has very little to do with it.

The growth in moat of these countries is up so much they cant burn enough coal to keep from brown outs.

Outsourced pollution.

If you need data, just peak at a global air pollution map. Dive into the historical metrics.

That's every day in much of the world. I lived in Southeast Asia for 8 years and 9/10 days the air was unhealthy.

Agreed. This new title strikes me as washing away the true meaning of what's happening.

There's no mention of Taiwan, which is is specifically related to.

Who can rewrite titles on hackernews? Can we get an explanation who made the change and why?

This company pretends it has the moral high ground, but like most of corporate America, they always have an eye on Chinese profits. America's future is at stake and we won't wake up until it's too late.

Hacker News: Big tech stiffles competition, the little guy can't compete

Also Hacker News: small independent publishers leveraging email for publishing shouldn't get engagement data on their independent newsletters.

Aggregate open rate data is vital to a newsletter. It makes it easy to spot delivery issues. It's an early indication of content quality, and important feedback loop.

I'm fully for blocking identifiable tracking. But isn't there room for a solution for anonymous engagement metrics?

Email newsletters are a great way for individuals to control their distribution channel built on top of federated, decentralized technology.

Adtech is the enemy.

According to the status page, no issues in the last 180 days. But I can't login. https://status.twitterstat.us/pages/history/564314ae3309c22c...

Why the lack of transparency?

As a PWA on Android this is great! I can share from Spotify and then it opens a Songwhip link to share. Solves a minor problem I have about sharing music links.

She reported this issue on April 3rd. Google marked it as a duplicate on April 21st, meaning someone else had already reported it.

After it was not fixed, she publicly disclosed the issue and within 7 hours it was patched.

What broke in the process at Google? This issue allowed GSuite users to impersonate each other to send email. That is very serious.

I'm also an expat here and I can second this. Trust in the government is at an all time high. Domestic travel is up 25% over last year. While many retail businesses suffered during the lockdown, life has mostly returned to normal. Albeit, with closed borders.

I'm surprised no one mentioned it here: before Front Page was a Microsoft product it was created by an independent company, Vermeer. But as many pointed out it produced horrible code.

My favorite editor of the day was a "hand coder" called Home Site

After living in Vietnam for 6 years I can second this. Even my Vietnamese team jokes that "sharks bite" before each major national holiday. Fortunately, I've also noticed that the effects are not as disastrous as before. Previously, it would be impossible to keep a VPN up to a US server, but now I can still get high speeds and low latency through the "cable cuts."

That's progress! Though it's sill in beta - which might be OK for a side project but does make me nervous any critical aspect of a production application. https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/configure-serverless-vpc-a...

>What is the pace of innovation one can expect from GCP platform?

How committed are its leaders as a public cloud service provider? Has a customer GCP for the last 3 years I am concerned about the pace of innovation.

For example, CloudFunctions still can't be put behind a VPC.

I also run another product that's built on AWS and extensively uses lambdas, and the depth and breath of the solution continues to amaze me.

Or perhaps not. Perhaps there's value in the community that rewards its owners in other ways.

You would be surprised how prevalent these problems are even with supposedly reputable registrars.

A commonly recommend option here in HN was NameCheap. Earlier this year without any notice they modified our DNS servers completely taking down our SaaS product.

Why? Some migration script run incorrectly.

They offered me a random TLD for free for one year as compensation! I declined.

The political challenges sound immense. The last paragraph in the article sums it up nicely.

> "The hurdles are minimal and the negotiations simple, as long as everybody agrees with Nevada"

Besides the Hoover Dam/Lake Mead, what other large scale energy storage opportunities exist in the United States?

Ugly: no VPC secure access to Cloud Functions basically making it worthless to connect with legacy database systems hosted on GCP.

If you focus on the risk management side of personal lines I think you're going to have a hard time to scale. The problem is most consumers don't care enough about coverage to shop for it. What attracts new clients is price, price, price. Clients unfortunately won't worry coverage until they really need it. The problem with focusing on price is you'll attract clients who won't renew after 3-5 years, messing up the retention numbers. Navigating the balance between those two will be critical.

Now there is some space in the high-end personal lines for focus on protection. But there you're competing against entrenched insurance agents.

Small commercial is also a very interesting space to explore. Protection is much more important for these people and the sales process is easier to automate (than med/large commercial.)

I sold my startup in this space last year. We provided marketing automation for agents. Feel free to reach out.

I live in Vietnam and run a craft brewery that makes a cream ale with cashew nuts added. (Lac Brewing Company - Cashew Cream Ale).

Hey Adam - I'm very interested in your sponsored contributions towards reducing IOPS in RethinkDb. It's our biggest challenge, even though we're on SSDs. Our backfills after outages are especially long and painful. Are these updates something you're running safely in production today?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned pritunl. Open source and one click deployment on DO https://pritunl.com

I am not a lawyer but I am curious what affect this will have. Does this mean that the FBI can cherry pick to it's favorite judges to get any wiretap subpoena they need?

Is there a source of public information to monitor judges actions in giving out these subpoenas?

Can you please email me the results of this? lucas [at] agencyrevolution.com - I am considering Mailgun but am hesitant after seeing this.
