notsound··on Mike Tomlin spent 12 years building a Minecraft city
What?
notsound··on We’re making Bunny DNS free
Most European hosting providers don't KYC. Infrastructure providers are rarely held liable for customer actions in Europe. Most enforcement around this sort of thing is around sanctions violations (Stark Industries).
notsound··on Google says criminal hackers used AI to find a major software flaw
"simply block all routing out of the country" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. For government networks, sure. For civilian networks? It's a bit like stopping pirates from ripping video; how do you deal with an attacker that ultimately can gain some form of access? Even in North Korea external media can be smuggled in.
notsound··on For Linux kernel vulnerabilities, there is no heads-up to distributions
Those groups care about whether millions of computers are vulnerable, likely including your computer. If "immediate public disclosure" was done in all cases every vuln would be exploited and patches would be much lower quality. Shortening the disclosure timeline might be a good idea, 90 days is starting to feel long.
notsound··on Show HN: I Built Paul Graham's Intellectual Captcha Idea
I got a 10 out of 10 because I've seen these strawmans in center-right arguments before. Definitely promotes thinking inside the box; the homelessness question presupposes the most expensive solution (buying the homeless homes) in opposition to annual costs that would probably go down over time. I doubt both figures.
notsound··on Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: 'You've got no rights.'
If you thought covid fascism was bad why wouldn't you care about this? Was covid fascism so tolerable you'll let the government do more fascism?
notsound··on Do AI detectors work? Students face false cheating accusations
Were they Evolv? https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24119275/evolv-technologie...
notsound··on Show HN: I taught ChatGPT to find cool domain names – with availability check
Found this aswell, I would make it more clear that guest searches are public.
notsound··on Florida House of Representatives approves bill to ban social media for kids < 16
Another option that allows for better privacy and versatility is the website setting a MIN_USER_AGE header based on IP geolocation.
notsound··on X receives money transmitter license in Utah
At $44b, he could have offered over a hundred million people $420 EACH to join. Obviously it's waaaay more complicated than that (KYC, actually building the platform, being profitable, etc...), but with that amount of money you could probably make something significantly better and more profitable than twitter.
notsound··on Reddit must share IP addresses of piracy-discussing users, film studios say
Try using old.reddit.com; for some reason the block doesn't apply.
notsound··on Last operating US prison ship set to close in NYC
Instead of spending a bit money to build quality and low maintenance facilities on land, politicians seem to like the idea of using barges as housing. Particularly ridiculous example: https://apnews.com/article/britain-migration-bill-passes-bar... The idea that this is better than building the same thing on the undeveloped land AT THE SAME PORT THEY HAVE THE BOAT is absurd. Water eats everything.
notsound··on NY bill would require a criminal history check for the purchase of a 3D printer
Raise the alarm with convincing evidence. Nobody is going to do anything if you don't bring evidence to the table (as you say, makers are woefully unaware of this). If you're just trolling, I highly recommend this defcon talk on how to do it better: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vcAHbvTlpKA
notsound··on NY bill would require a criminal history check for the purchase of a 3D printer
You've mentioned this a couple times. I don't have an opinion on the subject, and a random comment doesn't really tell me anything. It would be good to link some solid studies so people can understand the risks. If you don't have those, maybe reconsider your point.
notsound··on Shell using Fortnite, TikTok, etc. to convince kids fossil fuels are cool
I think this is the most disgusting fossil fuel ad I've ever seen: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AI2zKNNoUic
notsound··on Earth’s average 2023 temperature is now likely to reach 1.5 °C of warming
When you wrote this argument, you're surely referring to what they actually said right?
notsound··on Cuba uncovers human trafficking of Cubans to fight for Russia in Ukraine
Cuba and Russia are pretty close, and I don't think there is a lack of pro-ukraine talking points.
notsound··on AML works, even if it intercepts less than 1% of criminal proceeds
I've never seen an instance of that happening. Could you send some examples of cartels owning banks or having a significant amount of control over them?
notsound··on Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
I think it's mostly the name and phrasing, but it really does sound like a vaguely comedic line from some old sci-fi show.
notsound··on Room temperature, ambient pressure superconductivity – this time for real?
I don't think we need new technology for that.
notsound··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
Could you elaborate on this statement? Approximately how many people do you think fit into this "worse at everything" category?
notsound··on Texas worker accused of being on drugs was dying of heatstroke
Did you talk to a lawyer about this? This situation sounds really suspicious (where they trying to illegally fire you?).
notsound··on Delta passengers fall ill while stuck for hours during blistering Vegas heatwave
Certified mail might get through to someone important. Not super cheap, but potentially worth it.
notsound··on Teenager detained at airport after trying to use “skiplagging” trick
While interesting, this is just the word's origin; the comment you're responding to is claiming that the auto industry made jaywalking a crime. That claim seems to be based in fact: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26073797
notsound··on A petabyte of health insurance prices per month
I value the freedom to not die because medical care is too expensive over the freedom to profit off of the sick.
notsound··on Global network of sadistic monkey torture exposed by BBC
KF also doxxed and swatted a lot of other people. Of the 3 people who committed suicide in no small part because of KF, how many tortured animals?
notsound··on Tips for Building Resilient Payment Systems (2022)
This isn't constructive (or relevant). Are there any specific technologies or ideas that the lighting network could contribute to this article?
notsound··on Apollo will close down on June 30th
They also cite themselves within that citation. That second citation contains a citation also written by them. Citationception!
notsound··on Whistleblower drops 100 GB of Tesla secrets to German news site
You didn't read the article. This is mainly customer complaints, safety issues, and internal processes. Also, read the actual policy your article references; they aren't suing people for patent infringement (which is kinda cool), but they also haven't released anything. (aren't patents public?)
notsound··on Legend of Zelda game sells 10M copies in three days
Yes, considering it's still fun to play.
