Are you saying you think more critical government databases than OPM or security clearance rosters are inevitably going to be breached? I'd like to think the government or corporation can effectively protect some databases at least...

Because hospitals and clinics don't care or record the treatment they provide?

FWIW the Pixel 8, the newest device offering Advanced Memory Protection, sells for less than $600 brand new right now. You can tune memory tagging & hardened memory allocation on a per-app basis. It's a game changer

Agreed. I think the same strategy also applies to a given table or night: only play hands where you have good cards. It's a good strategy for beginners

It's tough when you dogmatically refuse to use lidar! For Elmo, since the human eye doesn't have lidar, camera arrays are sufficient to achieve L3

Obviously because that would require people cut back on meat consumption. I was struck by a recent study indicating most men would rather die young than stop eating meat: https://www.menshealth.com/uk/nutrition/a36261605/red-meat-h...

New comment by treypitt in "Tuta (formerly Tutanota) denies claim it has intelligence ties"

It seems obvious Five Eyes will not tolerate or legitimize any email provider that doesn't allow them access to subpoenas, at the very least - this rules out most of the privacy features touted by protonmail & tutanota (no logs, E2E encryption, etc).

Perhaps what makes the ruse convincing in Tutanota's case is the crappy interface and clear dearth of basic features: search basically doesn't work; it's impossible to select all messages or use shift to select pages of messages. Their excuse is that customers might accidentally delete emails, but it might make more sense that they want to retain as much data as possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/nc9jxx/suggestion...

that's just America, and its not just nuclear, it's civil engineering & construction projects of all kind that have ballooned in complexity and cost due to myriad political and regulatory causes. France can build reactors cheaply and easily due to standardized reactor designs; I'm not sure the US has ever replicated a reactor build (ie, every reactor is built in a different & unique way)

Tipping points and feedback loops are meaningless to techno-utopians, in their eyes nothing is fundamentally different between climate change and other technical challenges in the past

New comment by treypitt in "Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024"

treypitt — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 14:40:49 +0000

Good riddance, what a dumpster fire. The tiny buttons for pause, replay, skip buttons are all right next to each other on the lock screen, so you often skip podcasts when you really want to pause or fast forward. on the other hand, the rewind 10-seconds button has half the real estate of the widget. Downloads arent automatically deleted even after the episode is completed (even if you mark as played or remove from queue). There's no skip intro/outro options.

Frankly, the Overcast app is one of the main things attracting me to iOS at this point, and a dearth of good native podcast clients is hurting the Pixel/Google ecosystem

"Believe it or not, I'm not home!" The length and detail of the jingle makes me nostalgic... The prominence of the answering machine and payphones throughout the show are an underappreciated element of the show's cultural millieau! As well as Jerry's desktop computer getting updated every couple of seasons
