If I had my way, I would introduce internet search techniques as a core module in all university programs.

Too often I see in my students work evidence of lazy searching. It is as if they expect Google to be able to read their minds or even foresee their future intentions. Lack of variety of search terms is a key shortcoming. Also, lack of exploration of terms which are tangentially related to their search topic.

An internet search should be playful and exploratory. Above all, it should be understood that the internet is beyond simple linear indexing.
It does not. This article is about data collected from specific foreigners outside the US who were under surveillance. The FBI searched that data for any mentions of a US senator.

I’m not saying the Republicans are good on these issues, honestly I don’t think they are. However the burden of proof is on you to tell me how the Democrats have improved the quality of life of average Americans. The fact that you haven’t so far tells me that you probably can’t.

Do you happen to know if the WKWebView always uses the latest Safari that's been installed? That's been the thing I'm uncertain about, where I think I've run into situations where the installed Safari should support some JS thing, but Recut doesn't actually have access to it, and I've suspected that WKWebView is just frozen at whatever the OS came with.

You’re so focused on arguing that you’ve completely circled around to the point I was making from the beginning, which is that the Dems use the GOP to hide from that fact that their own party is controlled by right wing interests. So yeah, they’re a right wing party, only better than the GOP in ways that matter to out of touch liberals, incapable of achieving anything that doesn’t involve shallow Supreme Court decisions. They are completely and totally incapable of solving the climate crisis because they will always capitulate to the lowest common denominator — only on the right though of course. Pelosi was great at whipping the Squad into supporting whatever milquetoast policies she wanted, Schumer as well, but somehow that never ends up working on the right wing folks, I wonder why…

Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way. Dems could rally against corporate lobbying and for the better good. After all, they’ve been trying the opposite way for the last 50 years or more and failing in truly embarrassing fashion. Losing elections to literal conspiracy theorists, conmen, and bigots. But it won’t happen, because this way makes them rich and there are no consequences for them that matter. They simply choose to let things be this way and the Democrat base lets them get away with it.

Why don’t we reduce this down a bit? Hollywood studios are businesses. Businesses exist to create value for owners. Hollywood talent is expensive. AI tends to be much less expensive. Hollywood studio execs believe they might be able to replace expensive talent with cheap AI, thus creating more value for owners.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I was an active member when GameSpot merged then took over (my account missed the LUE cutoff by less than a year, if you know you know). It was something the owner promised would never happen, and then he repeatedly said it would never go farther then it did. GameFAQers hated GameSpoters. Merging was the beginning of the end IMO, it hurt the community and that was the main thing they had.

The Northern Rivers area (where Lismore is) has a lot of gullys and valleys, whereas the towns there tend to occupy flatter areas. Winter in the gullys gets bloody cold. The official temperature in Lismore is measured at the Post Office. I grew up in the Northern Rivers, and saw frost most years in the gullys and on the slopes of our farm. We were closer to the coast than Lismore, so they'd get more frosts than we did.

I think the problem is ultimately that there never was going to be benefit even if it was assumed to work perfectly.

You spend $150+GPU+PSU cost, tether your laptop to a wall outlet, and add size and weight to your “portable” kit.

That doesn’t compete all that well with just buying a higher end laptop or waiting a few years to buy the next generation of laptop. If you’re willing to go through all that expense and compromise of portability you’re probably willing to have a separate desktop system and reap the benefits of having a second more fully modular system.

It reminds me of that Voyager III concept car where you could detach a small car from the rear minivan section. Cool idea for an auto show, but why not just own a second vehicle?

> France passed through unconstitutional reforms without the votes

As confirmed by higher courts, including the constitutional one, the reforms were constitutional and pushed through via a constitutional measure (49.3) that gives the government the (limited in number of attempts) power to force legislation, unless a motion of no confidence brings them down. The fact that the motions didn't get a majority means that the reforms had enough votes for them, but the members of parliament didn't want to be directly associated with having voted for them, which required the maneuver. The reforms are highly unpopular, controversial, imperfect, but in the end were needed. You could frame it as stealing from the people, I'd frame it as an imperfect attempt to ensure a long-term financial stability (France spends a lot on pensions, regularly runs deficits, and the projections were pretty terrible - optimistic scenarios for 2050 had 15% of the GDP going for pensions, for a median Quality of Life 75% of that of the median active worker. That's fundamentally unsustainable, and vague populist "we'll just tax X" won't fix it. We could have had a better reform, but I'll take a poor one over none at all).

There may be a correlation but you can make the argument that the cause runs the other way. You imply that the acquisition causes the failure - but another read would be that failing businesses are put up for sale (insiders see the failure first) and the acquirer is left with the shutdown.

The idea of an employee buyback leading to success (we'll see!) would, of course, lend credence to your causal theory.

A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages secrets (most importantly digital keys), performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in card or an external device that attaches directly to a computer or network server. A hardware security module contains one or more secure cryptoprocessor chips.

As recent as 2021, there's been questions: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/whatsapp-end-to-end-...

But, let's go to the start - WhatsApp started in 2011.

Encryption arrived in varying degrees until there was some pressures to change the amount of privacy messages had for advertising purposes.

Lots in the news at the time.

2018 "Another point of disagreement was over WhatsApp’s encryption. In 2016, WhatsApp added end-to-end encryption, a security feature that scrambles people’s messages so that outsiders, including WhatsApp’s owners, can’t read them. Facebook executives wanted to make it easier for businesses to use its tools, and WhatsApp executives believed that doing so would require some weakening of its encryption."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/whatsapp-fou...

2018 "Acton said he tried to push Facebook towards an alternative, less privacy hostile business model for WhatsApp — suggesting a metered-user model such as by charging a tenth of a penny after a certain large number of free messages were used up." https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/26/whatsapp-founder-brian-act...

Looked it up, appears to be Hardware Security Module.
Land is a tough one though because the information that person x is buying it to amalgamate the land for some purpose lets the remaining land holders abuse the market power of being the hold outs for further gain. The problem is the piecemeal nature of accumulating the land for a project means you have market power abuse issues on both sides and secrecy alleviates some of that from the buyer side.

Oh absolutely. It’s a fun detail that unlike a lot of other other governments, political parties aren’t actually codified in the US at the foundational documents level, when you find political parties backed into government somewhere (like bipartisanship mandates in review processes) it’s centuries of the bureaucratic sedimentation where it has built up rules to handle the changing of time and the changing world.

It’s easy to see the biased nature of media when you have a lifetime of exposure and get even a basic level of education on comparing sources and other media literacy techniques. I live in Australia where the newspapers are long known for bias.

A great example of bias at work is media coverage of the WGA (and now SAG, etc) strikes… all the big news organisations CNN, CBS, Fox, etc are owned by the companies the WGA are negotiating against … you’ve got a neat example of how these companies put their spin on an issue outside of the traditional US political fighting and where the left viewpoint/bias of most of them is now at odds with the corporate agenda and how painfully obvious the editorial biases are counter to that.
This is happening on a lot more gaming news sites than just this one.

I'm regularly seeing articles in my Google News feed that are summarizing Reddit threads with questionable accuracy in their coverage that are clearly AI generated.

All that said, when it does work correctly it's actually kind of useful and timely.

For about a year now since seeing the advent of decent generative text AI, I'm starting to dream of the day I no longer use my devices to go online and just get a phone call from an AI voice that tells me if I have anything urgent in my email or summarizes news I'd actually give a crap about.

The web has gone from something I truly loved to an abusive relationship so entrenched in my day to day I can't boot it from my life.

I for one welcome an AI intermediary that needs to suffer through reading SEO spam and click bait headlines and nonsense comments to synthesize a useful summary of what's important to me.
> Forget about maximizing points for your personal bookings.

I agree that trying to maximize points to gain free travel is often not worth it for non-business travelers, but sticking as much as possible with one airline to gain a higher frequent flyer status can make your travel a lot more comfortable. Higher status allows you check in bags for free, airport lounge access for free, picking your seats for free, but most importantly you can bypass the ridiculously long lines for check in and sometimes get priority security screening as well.

Early Linux distros used to run on very small machines with about 4 megabytes of RAM (if you were lucky enough to have one that big!) I used to run Slackware 2-point-something, or maybe it was 3-point-something around 1993-1994 on a Toshiba T5200. (LATER: It was Slackware 2.01 on a CD from InfoMagic.)

IIRC, the critical factor was a CPU that was capable of multi-tasking. In the x86 world, that was a 386 or better.

I did not say anything partisan there. I even said there could be a problem with more disclosure because it could be used electorally and that may be inappropriate.

Really we don't know anything specific so we can't judge. It's a weird thing. The FISA courts have been said to be unusual for decades, and I think this story shows some of why that is.

I started using Slackware in the early 2000s. Tired of Windows (and rebelling a bit against The System), I ended up installing Slackware into the family desktop and used it as my daily driver.
After a while I got a refurbished horizontal case desktop that I repurposed into a home server, installed Slackware and learned to deploy a mail server and a LAMP stack so I could offer hosting (email and sites) to my high school friends - then gmail came around and everyone forgot about my little cool hosting provider.
After a while I got hooked into FreeBSD, but for some reason, and apart from using it for some niche projects, it didn’t really stick for me, since I always find a way back into either Slackware or Arch nowadays.
As you can probably tell, reading through all the other comments brings back a certain nostalgia.
