<p>> I think its entirely reasonable that license plates are recorded on public roads and accessible to police in lawful requests, like tracking stolen vehicles or dangerous suspects.<p>And I don’t. I think my right to privacy shouldn’t arc to nil.<p>Cops don’t care about stolen cars. Or stolen things from cars. I’ve given them footage of such a crime and.. nada.<p>And they have armies of police and armament to do the other police work. They have access to individually produced recordings that they do nothing with.<p>Instead of just dismantling all civic rights for _some_ property rights, maybe we should have a national convention about what police are obligated to do and their best practices to do so. Courts have already established that it is not public safety, so I personally wont support any action that simply gives them more.</p>

<p>Ehh do you remember the defaults back in the day? And how long local vs intermediary vs backbone TTLs could be cached for, even above and beyond the set TTL?<p>The propagation part refers to how long it would take for all those cached requests to expire and when you could tell some random client they should be able to see the new value. Especially when you forgot to lower the TTL ahead of time.<p>It’s a term of art and it’s fine.<p>Oh that reminds me. I made a bunch of DNS changes a while ago and left all the TTLs set to 5 minutes. I should up them.</p>

<p>It was designed as a bad movie by people who didn’t realize their idea was terrible. It was hardly organized, as Peter Jackson had to come in late in the game and against his will to try saving the franchise.<p>PJ defined the product that was LOTR against the objectives pursued by studio. Then that same entity got their true wishes with the Hobbit.<p>It’s not that the Hobbit sucked as much as LOTR was the exception that proved the studio rule.<p>Also, a thousand geniuses can’t change the trajectory of an idiot boss.<p>Creators create, studios iterate.<p>See also: Star Wars, Star Trek</p>

<p>The almond/coconut cream substitutes are my favorite but most coffee shops don’t stock them. Bought my own espresso machine because I got tired of dairy after effects when indulging in cold brews from coffee shops. Straight espressos are safer in that respect.<p>I eat steel cut oats every day but can’t really do oat milk. Not enough texture or flavor. I’d rather use Ripple in my oats for that little bit of extra.<p>Straight dairy tastes too weird to me now.</p>

<p>Honestly. I want the AI news. I wish HN would add filtering features. I know they want us to all see the same homepage, but it’s time to let us have our tables. Pro-AI-era should be able to have a cohort thread, and anti-AI should be able to avoid it, or have a ring fence for their anti-AI discussions.<p>We end up with some good threads on HN in both directions, but there’s a weight to early voices that can bend a posts’ comments pro or anti AI which isn’t necessarily reflective of the quality of said post.</p>

<p>Not really, I've been to various docs for this.. one said BPPV attacks usually hit people 1-3x in a lifetime, I average that per year. Head MRI revealed nothing interesting. It's much diminished from its peak abuse of my system, but I have low-grade persistent vertigo that shows up if I move too fast, like turning in a closet.</p>

<p>That's not exactly how I would summarize the current moment in time.<p>This OP article doesn't really go into it, but they did actually propose a solution to the divide, they just needed more time to develop it. The Reuters article is reporting on one person's response to the proceedings, which involve more details than this particular article covers.<p>For instance:<p>> To address those concerns, Apple designed a system called Trusted System Agent, an intermediary that would let competing virtual assistants safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI on EU devices. Apple also proposed launching Siri AI in Europe while rolling out the Trusted System Agent gradually over 18 months. The European Commission rejected both proposals, and according to Apple, did not agree to any alternative.<p><a href="https://thenextweb.com/news/apple-siri-ai-eu-dma-delay-ios-27" rel="nofollow">https://thenextweb.com/news/apple-siri-ai-eu-dma-delay-ios-2...</a></p>
