There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that trigger warnings have a positive effect and growing evidence they are either ineffectual or actually negative.

The market doesn't care about any of that. The consumer market doesn't care, and the commercial market definitely does not. The consumer market wants the most Fortnite frames per second per dollar. The commercial market cares about how much compute they can do per watt, per slot.

> there exist plenty like me that demand high freedom and transparency and will pay double for it if we have to.

The four percent share of the datacenter market and five percent of the desktop GPU market say (very strongly) otherwise.

I have a 100% AMD system in front of me so I'm hardly an NVIDIA fanboy, but you thinking you represent the market is pretty nuts.

The defacto GPU compute platform? With the best featureset?

It's pretty insane how overpriced NVIDIA hardware is.

Improper control surface actuation during re-entry = loss of vehicle/crew

Also, rocket engines that are powered by the combustion of their fuel and oxidizer (the exhaust gasses of which drive the main pumps) have a very specific startup sequence. For example, if any of the combustion chambers have a mix of oxygen and hydrogen too close to stochiometric when the igniters fire, you get an explosion, not a burn. Not too dissimilar from what happens in car engines when you get detonation (which is very different from knocking. Detonation melts holes in stuff.)

Startup initially is open-loop with no feedback or adjustment based on sensors and then at some point the computer switches over to closed loop control. It starts with hydrogen first. The sparklers? Those aren't for igniting the engine, that's done by igniters inside the combustion chamber(s). The sparklers are to ignite all the hydrogen that is pushed out the nozzle initially so there's a very fuel-rich environment in the engine and it doesn't go kaboom.

If things go wrong - such as a valve not opening as fast as it should, or not being opened the right amount at the right time - the engine goes kaboom. This happened to a bunch of engines during development and testing.

But Artemis has basically the same engines, so...shrug

Both pale in comparison to the amount of precision-guided weaponry that was burned through blowing up fishing boats and attacking oil tankers, and then bombing Iran.

It was estimated that in the first day alone the US burned through half its stock of some precision munitions.

The supply chain for those is years long.

If you were China, what would you be thinking right about now? Say, a vacation in Taiwan?

There's jack shit the US could do about it.

They fed ancient intelligence into an AI which spit out a target list that nobody seems to have checked, period.

It's been on by default since around circa 2013.

Also, Filevault is on top of the encryption provided by secure enclave

> many people disable it during setup without understanding what it does

Citation required. Most people don't disable things on their computer when they "don't understand what it does."

> myself included when I got my MacBook in 2020

That's an anecdote, not evidence of a trend in a population.

> Tahoe 26.3 (It might have been patched before, I didn't check) appears to have silently patched both issues.

Gotta love a clickbait title designed to make people panic....about a minor fixed two months ago

Many subreddits ban sites for having clickbaity nonsense and it's high time HN did the same.

Anderson Consulting er I mean "Accenture": "Hey, that's our job!"

PWC: "Yeah! Fuck off!"

KPMG: "Damn straight!"

Ernst & Young: "What they said."

Deloitte & Touche: "Ditto."

Because that's what I see constantly on social media in response to progressive ideas the rest of the world has largely accepted but apparently just can't possibly work in the United States...

No, there's no possible way we "save humanity" with space exploration. The whole "eggs in more than one basket" thing is insane.

The resources required to establish a colony, get it self-sufficient, then able to grow, and then put enough people on it will take half a century and the planet is burning up today.

That and NASA is pathologically terrified of anything resembling innovation.

Why? Because "dreams"? "Reach for the stars"?

You know what I remember from the shuttle launches as a kid? I remember my school not being able to afford textbooks but apparently we had enough to spend billions on putting people in space for no reason.

I was dismissed. "The privacy policy doesn't allow it"

Peeps: privacy policies are not binding agreements, and even if they were, it always allows a corporation to sell your data.

Always.

No matter what it says today, because literally tomorrow they can change it to whatever they want.
