all they're proving is that tests, and interviews, are bullshit constructs that merely attempt to evaluate someone's ability to retain and regurgitate information

call it what it is - you're using slave labor in a 3rd world country to solve rudimentary puzzles for you

and yes, i was playing league of legends while typing this monunmental reply

last 2+ years are all you need to realize this is a depressingly consistent theme across civilization today

manufacturing content from the voices/faces of prominent people that have died is no bueno

fuck podcast.ai

fair, but in that case they should be showcasing their security and privacy focused initiatives, and their source of angel funding...

otherwise how will it be anything other than spyware crap that funds itself by selling your data??

no group of power users will flock to a new browser without any transparency on the above

> Arc, which has been in an invite-only beta for more than a year, is trying to rethink the whole browser UI

no one is ever going to dethrone chrome unless they start selling hardware filled with their crapware at a loss solely to suck ppl into the ecosystem and/or start giving away laptops as fast as possible for the same reasons

&

no one is ever going to compete with firefox or brave on UI alone, because the ppl that have the wherewithal to move away from the edge and chrome apps that are thrust upon them with every hardware purchase, care more about if your shit is secure and privacy respecting than if your 'tabs are on the left' :|

> he thinks browsers are due for a reinvention — and why he thinks a startup is the best place to do it

ah yes, a loss-leading category of software is best done at cash-strapped startups... wonder where the revenue will come from

aside from that, he might try to leverage this to appeal to MAGAs for some political play in the future too - the 'white lives matter' shirt shenanigans is further evidence of his desperation for attention & desire to appeal to a certain demographic

you store anything in a big-corp cloud, which you haven't personally encrypted, with keys that only you possess, then assume it's all backed up in fed repos (somewhat hyperbolic, especially for non-crims, but not far fetched by any means)

that's neither new, nor news (sadly)

Govs at a UN-level need to kill this shit... but sadly, capitalism is a core tenant of most UN members, and these scummy tactics generate revenue... so.... I've used a lot of words to 'fuck. we're fucked.'

:(

Then YOU could proudly serve the content of those poor under-served souls which you preemptively mourn

It's not rocket surgery.

CF is incapable of "taking" any website offline - the only "power" they have, is the choice to not providing free DDoS protection, and/or to stop resolving the site's URL

CF has *no power to censor anyone*

Refusing to provide FREE DDoS Protection, and refusing to FREELY CACHE vitriol, are not "censorship"!

Nor are either of those actions an infringement on any American's rights as defined by the 1st Amendment [friendly reminder that there are nations, other than America, in the world]

Sure - CF are not content moderators ... but, neither are they "a public utility provider" ... they are, however, a *for-profit commercial enterprise*, and as such, they get to choose who they DO, or DO NOT, do business with

If you think any of the sites offloaded by CF deserve the free DDoS protection and caching services CF was providing - by all means, spin up some servers and provide it to them yourself - you have that right.

If CF didn't offer free DDoS protection - ironically, whilst providing cover & protection to the greatest # of DDoS-4-hire websites on the clear-web - they would have nothing else to offer that would be considered best-in-class

But yeah, they're the preeminent force in ensuring free speech on the internet lol
