vieques··on The mother of all bubbles the US has never been so overhyped
don't think this guy likes USA
vieques··on Is it legal and possible to scrape the social media platforms?
This question is way too broad. What is your purpose? What specifically are you scraping, (ie images, text, audio, video)? Please expand
vieques··on No X in Brazil? No problem, Brazilians say
can we stop saying/writing "formerly known as twitter" - please?! Also, Starlink is overcoming this without an issue.
vieques··on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Great write up and description of the experience, even if it's closed. I enjoyed the details for each day, the actors, theatrics, detailed missions, etc. But still, the experience itself is way too expensive
vieques··on Disney wants wrongful death suit dismissed because widower signed up for Disney+
They are not doing their reputation any favors and their legal team needs to rethink this strategy. The arbitration clause in the subscription agreement is not meant to cover these types of tort actions. Hope they reverse this course asap
vieques··on Briton dies before clearing name after 38 years in US jails
You have to love the US justice system. Punk ass rapists get off on 500 bail, declared innocent folks wrongfully convicted get to die in prison.
vieques··on CrowdStrike reportedly sends $10 Uber Eats gift cards to contractors as apology
LOL - sure, that will show them your love.
vieques··on Venture Capital Industry in 2024
Not so much innovative as history repeating itself (slightly) with a lot of $$ going to AI tech startups that are not always proprietary systems. Bubble looming IMO
vieques··on 3D menu for fine-dining restaurants and private chefs
do you have a beta site to show?
vieques··on 3D menu for fine-dining restaurants and private chefs
Reddit chef group is a good start

TikTok is not news. No, it's not why the government wants it banned. Read up on how it works, what info it collects, what it processes, and sends back to mother China.
vieques··on Ask HN: State of permissive licences and AI training
No guarantee but you can add legal language in the license text specific to your code associated with the license that restricts use of the OSS for training models, using code in running models, etc.

To say this was deliberate is very irresponsible. Sadly, civilians, volunteers, and aid workers find themselves in the crossfire of conflicts, including thousands of civilians killed by US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, or in the Ukraine invasion by Russia. These outcomes are part of the atrocities and horrors of war. But to say IDF did this deliberately is appalling.
vieques··on LinkedIn is not a social or professional network, it's a learning network
I think it's a recruiters network and for others, it's 60% job search, 15% network, 15% social, and 10% learning
vieques··on Hacker News is not GDPR-compliant
explain - what is the issue?
vieques··on Is Snapchat is real spying app acting as IM?
100% yes
vieques··on Georgia Attorney-General claims that not having a phone makes you a criminal
Arguing against this is like arguing having certain "tools" in your trunk are not burglary tools when precedent has established them to be depending your circumstance, place of inquiry, time, etc. Stupid article

paint.net - free for windows
vieques··on Ask HN: Copyright status of human-modified AI art?
Great question and yes, as an attorney in IP, we're all waiting for the court's interpretation of challenges and precedent. Unfortunately, many of the decision-makers are ill-equipped to make the call as they have a difficult time understanding the fundamentals of the new emerging technology. They are very quick at regulating something they don't understand, but slow and often off mark when it comes to setting precedents in favor of businesses and creators.
vieques··on I am trying to regain access to my email accounts
From personal family experience, this is next to impossible if you did not add a recovery email to your account profile. Once your access is blocked it's extremely difficult to get any support from Google for various reasons, including security.

Did you have a passkey security setup? Backup email? 2FA at least? Sorry you are going through this. Hopefully your account is not tied to many other profiles.

Yes. Texas the State is executing its statehood right to secure its borders which contradicts the Federal policy. Federal Administration through the SC has issued a reversal of Texas' securitization of its border by issuing National Guard order to remove barbwire. Texas in turn has reversed course and continue to put up barbwire fencing to protect its property and citizens from unauthorized access. Federal Administration now seeking to revoke rights of Texas to use its designated National Guard.
vieques··on You're probably eating way too much protein
How is Vox still relative?
vieques··on Do you see value in Rabbit AI pocket companion?
I don't believe an attached pin camera with app control is going to "change" the internet. But I do see a whole more privacy issues popping up as this is rolled out. Whether it takes hold is yet to be seen but also makes me shudder as I think of the movie The Circle with Tom Hanks and the similarities I draw from it. TBD on what happens in the next year+
vieques··on Researchers demonstrate rapid 3D printing with liquid metal
One step closer to T2 liquid metal killing machines. Love it
vieques··on AI Chatbot Swears at Customer
This made me happy. At least it's honest!

Wow - delusional to say the least
vieques··on My startup has an unofficial hiring policy based on race. Is this normal/legal?
This is 100% illegal and as others noted, can subject the company and even its investors/founders and others to serious liability. This is not the correct approach, at all
vieques··on Ask HN: Bitcoin || Ether?
Ether
