I just read that the trip was still a 5 day journey, involving 20+ stops and spinning that takeoff and landing roulette wheel quite a bit..

The novelty factor might have been just as big a deal as time savings. It was something cool to try as an ultra wealthy globe trotter.

This was not a surprise

They can obviously support it internally, and the feature exists for ChatGPT, but they’re choosing not to expose that combo in the API yet because of product rollout constraints.

And turns out I didn’t just stumble upon an unconsidered edge case because I got accepted into a drug trial and activated my galaxy brain:

Allan Norwich, The Clinical Trial Research Participant As An Inside Trader (J. Health Law, 2006).

Huh. The lawyer example works because attorneys have a very specific, enforceable duty of confidentiality. Swap that relationship out and the conclusion may change. As written, the comment slides from "duty-based misuse of information" to "any private knowledge you shouldn’t have," which is not the same thing.

A lawyer (not my lawyer) gave me his off-the-cuff opinion on this scenario:

A pharmacologically-literate clinical trial participant for a novel new drug strongly suspects he did not receive the placebo/comparator drug, based on the subjective effects, plus their own pharmacology knowledge, experience with the placebo, and the research on the candidate drug.

However, this drug was not therapeutic for him, the side effects were onerous, or perhaps he believes the trial will be halted. Whatever their reasoning behind his inference, no details of others’ experiences were leaked to him, blinding was maintained; protocol was followed. He didn’t base this on a lab readout.

Based on his understanding of published research on the candidate drug, and projecting from his lived experience as lab rat, he believes this trial should disappoint shareholders. At the very least, shares may be priced too high.

Can the participant, based on this inference, invest $$$ shorting the pharma firm? This drug is considered the firm’s last best hope.

Their answer was yes, basically. He can trade on this non-public info.

I’m referring to this:

- select something in Photos, then Share.

- tap “Options” under “1 photo selected” top of sheet.

The first choice there is:

Format:

[√] Automatic

[] Current

[] Most Compatible

Choose Automatic for the best format for the destination or Current to prevent file format conversions. Photos and videos may convert to JPEG, PNG, and H.264 formats if you choose Most Compatible.

Most Compatible will put a jpeg on Drive for example, I just verified myself.

You make any of your OS standard libraries GPL and they need to suck to use and can’t statically link your code without being forced to also be licensed GPL.

That viral property some people find desirable.

Any organized resistance I’ve witnessed myself in the US has been something like an HOA saying no not tucked right here where our home values could take a hit or a view obstructed, please put it down the street or … anywhere else.

But if you had no cell service and your call dropped as you backed out of your garage or you tried to sell your house and the buyers phones suddenly had no service or they couldn’t get on the Internet at the open house, that’d feel like pretty concerning missing infrastructure.

I don’t think anti-5G wackos have dented a thing.

If it’s a population center someone would probably have put up a tower on their land ll

You could only save somebody time if they skipped the content and started doing comments on HN anyhow, but that’s not all the information either, just a couple key points.
