A good article is this 2006 piece in the New York Times called "Pigeon Wars"

https://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/15/magazine/15pigeons.html

My take from that is the Pigeon population is a function of the food supply, so to reduce the pigeon population you reduce the food. Which includes that supplied by the Pigeon lovers.
I love windows, but OneDrive made my experience on 11 nearly unusable. I never knew where anything was saved because of these indistinguishable, parallel file systems. The implementation was awful.
Do you have any progress pictures of your tattoo removal?
You don't have to go back that far to fairy tales and oral traditions for this to be true. For example, when people complain about the recent edits to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the canon version that people tend to want to return to is an edit from the 1970s. People rarely advocate for going all the way back to the original version in which the Oompa-Loompas were more directly African pygmy slaves.
Cloud to Clown substitution plugin?
From what I see the only working method for creating an offline account is during the windows setup when you press shift + F10 which will spawn a command line window where you have to enter "oobe\bypassnro" which will reboot the computer and on the wifi selection screen will give you a "I don't have an internet connection" button

Won't work though if you're Already configured for wifi
Louis is spot on with the description.

While he was no saint, this was something Steve Jobs emphasized - Let the people know about it and make the decision themselves. Many would probably be happy to do it but don't just force it.
> Steam and Valve are are pretty popular,

I understand, and appreciate that. My brother who is an avid gamer told me (i paraphrase here) “when i was young i used to play more games than i paid for, now i buy more games than I can play with” which is a big change. Steam is one of the big factors behind that. That is nothing sort of miraculous.

> we’ve all got different thresholds for what annoys us

That. But also i totally see that my usage pattern is different from most other users of it. I assume if i would play every day that would keep my “cookies” warm. And even if not, and i would still need to log in once every few months that would be a “rare hickup” as opposed to “every darn time i start this thing”. (Just because the baseline would shift.) So i totaly understand that. I also understand that from Valve’s perspective perhaps my usecase is not that lucrative. I just don’t bring in enough dough to make it worthwile to “fix” things for me. Especially when fixing my use case could perhaps lead to other indirect costs like more stolen steam accounts. (I don’t really know. I don’t have a full understanding of all of their security practices. What I am saying is that i can imagine that it is a tradeoff from their perspective. They could make the session system more forgiving but then they would suffer other consequences.)

I see all of that. But just because i understand those things i don’t have to pretend things are working well for me when they are not.
The hardest thing is really just creating the media and booting on the key. Once that's done, it's smooth sailing for most user-friendly distro. I swear, I've had my parents install Linux on 50 computers for their school, and they are really non technical.
Because people just complain on the internet and don't report these things. The FTC works off of reported incidents. File a report:

Luckly I've been installing into a VM, so I can delete the network interface entirely. That seems to get it.

But yeah, I only use it for some horrible hardware that absolutely will not run on WINE and has proprietary drivers. The day my wife gives up crafts, will be a day of celebration.
"windows 11 local account" in Google has this bypass in the first result. I Googled things when I setup various Linux distros as well, and I didn't consider that to be very difficult.

For a tech forum, I'm surprised at these responses. I have to Google shit all the time, including "can I do X in Y". I guess I'm the one out of touch, sorry.
In response to the last thread I participated on about Assange, 3 months ago, in which I predicted this outcome (which was easy to do, since it's been in the offing for like 6-9 months now), I was told that all these plea agreements were just a trick to get Assange onto US soil so they could execute him. Hey, maybe that could still be the case! They're flying him to the Northern Mariana Islands for the hearing, prior to releasing him in Australia. That could be where the disappearing happens.

I don't know what this link is supposed to represent, beyond the fact that I've never been a supporter of Assange's, since long before the 2016 election shenanigans that cost him so much of his support among American nerds. I'm sure at some point I've said I didn't buy that he was a major prosecution target --- that was before I read the indictment that spelled out his conspiracy liability for computer intrusions, which, as it turns out, does make sense: you can't safely instruct people to hack into DoD computers any more than you can safely instruct henchmen to murder people in America. I'm not a lawyer, I read some stuff, I updated my take.

I 100% agree with this. Big tech jobs, or those at medium sized firms, are easy to coast in. I've heard that at some FAANG companies Senior SWE can be viewed as a terminal level and it's totally acceptable to have a flat career trajectory here. Consistent, stable, and reliable salary with an average amount of work sounds good to me, you just need to have a high tolerance for BS.
My steamdeck certanly didn't cost that much. It also runs arch btw and I can install anything I want on it.

OK, we've just worked out the funniest thing Assange could do at this point.
I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted since you are essentially correct under the laws of most jurisdictions.

I only see two things in your comment that might be nit-pickable, and neither of them should be sufficient to justify a downvote.

(1) Saying "it's your fault" might be seen be some as implying that the person who slams on their brakes is the only one at fault. Most likely both drivers would be at fault.

The tailgater for following too close, and the brake checker for brake checking.

(2) You spelled "brake" "break".

Clause 3. may seem to permit it, but the privacy statement it refers to at

https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement

states "When we ask you to provide personal data, you can decline."

In this case the way it is described, there was no request for the personal data, and no opportunity to decline.

I think you'd need a lawyer to look at it further.

I told a variant of the original Little Mermaid story as part of a school outreach program. The kids came to the conclusion that God wasn't a fair being because he didn't give mermaids souls. I walked away satisfied that my little counterprogramming against catholic school indoctrination might have worked. I wasn't invited back (at least for school year 2024).
As I've learned sometimes businesses are unable to properly value something that, intuitively, has a clear nonzero value. Classic example would be selling something with an ongoing royalty of e.g. 10% of future profit.
My website binary builds the static site on every commit to the repo. This putting things in a zipfile strategy is probably a bad idea, but it makes it easy for the preview site to handle: https://xeiaso.net/blog/2024/overengineering-preview-site/
Painting? As demonstrated by Framework's new display option, there are displays that physically do not have pixels there. The the actual mask they use for printing is already rounded. It's not painted over, it's just not there.
Well, one option is to automatically trigger "reject all" option if you see "Do Not Track" header or equivalent.
4. would be the dream for me. It requires learning and applying a lot of things across multiple domains. The complexity and problem solving nature is very attractive.

The only problem is you need a bag or 2 to actually be able to start this. Part of being an investor is you can't put all the eggs into one basket. So you need enough capital to put it into multiple baskets and be willing to lose it as part of the learning process.
Sounds like the first problem super-intelligence (derived of this earth) should resolve is how to keep this system in dynamic equilibrium. Or, it should unwind itself if the solution is the problem.
Your rhetoric is clever, but I see a hole in it. Indefinite detainment is a logical consequence of lacking a right to a speedy trial, but is not identical to it.

I think it is in fact quite apt to say that the right to a speedy trial is to indefinite detainment as the right to privacy is to your information being used against you. Both are material consequences of lacking those rights.
This conversation is surreal.
You'll have to discuss these matters with computationalists. I'm not an expert in synthetic biology but from what I've seen their initial stock always consists of existing biological matter and viral recombinators which are often produced in vats full of pre-existing living organisms like e. coli.
I don't think I missed anything. Gas prices fluctuate multiple times per day, and it's unclear how it's "very damaging to most real people", contrary to what OP claims. Moreover, gas prices aren't "essentially auctions", so I don't see how the "That's a completely different thing" excuse applies. Finally, the person only mentions that it's "completely different", but failed to explain why that's relevant.
I suspect that is coming. At least MS isn't preventing you from running any third party stuff you want to run.
Your response is extraordinarily obnoxious given the actual search results, which include tptacek talking about charges being possible nine years ago and about him not being certain.

Your lack of integrity indicates that you should be ignored on all topics for all time.

I don’t know what your issue is, but you are extraordinarily dishonest.
[I understand the desire to have scientific knowledge and there are good resources in other comments.]

without explaining why those rules exist.

The explanation is that the rules make it taste good (or how it should taste or safe to eat or nutritious or in keeping with divine directives etc.).

Tasting good etc. is the reason for the recipe (and what tastes good etc. is literally a matter of taste or culture). Here scientific theory is post hoc. People cooked by many rules long before the coining of “bio-science.”
That was the case 5-10 years ago, but many e-commerce businesses are surviving solely on TikTok and Instagram ads. Look at most of the Google Shopping results for small items, all Amazon and Temu who have bigger pockets.

I got everything off windows and only use it for games. It’s easily the worst OS experience out there.

I wake up all the time and find my windows laptop stuck at the boot screen because I’m not using the on-brand power supply. My lid is shut, but windows ignores that, and it installs updates anyway.

And then it asks you every time to sign in/up for MS bullshit. And the decline button is becoming harder to find.

Ah, Western Democracy and the rule of law and humane treatment of prisoners, how we love thee. That sounds like I'm pro-Russia or China, but no, I don't like them either.
This is a real "think of the children" style argument the author is making. I'm sure if there are some unsavory operations that have been burnt they will not be trotted out.
I don't think I have had a Windows machine in my home for over 15 years now. I also have an air gapped Haiku OS Machine for when I just want to get some work done.

I did also have a 2011 Macbook Pro until last year, it was used daily until the entire thing just packed it in one day in a spectacular fashion. Plugged a tablet in and the entire power system just failed. It was already on its death bed before that.

Proceeds to site one ad from 2018. Hyperbole really isn’t necessary here. And marketing determining how a product should be regulated is a sure fire way to encourage companies to get around regulation by changing your their marketing.
My guess is the end of nearly free money is hurting the private equity backed companies.

Private equity is the dark matter of tech. For every company that gets squired by a FAANG there's some multiple getting gobbled up by a private equity funded conglomerate to either bundle or unbundle the tech.

These are the companies making software that powers everything in society. Companies you've never heard of making software for niches you've probably never really thought about.

I don't have some exquisite etymology to link to, and I can't speak to Rachel's personal context, but I'm quite confident that anti-corporate Americans of a certain age will read "the clown" as a reference to Ronald McDonald, in much the same way that "the mouse" means Mickey Mouse, i.e. Disney.

Can you please share a little more about what Just In Case inventory looks like?
I've tried copilot and the code it generates is far worse than the free version ChatGPT. The idea that they want people to pay for it is frankly absurd.
At some point they had a 6 month trial for Server editions. It was a bit clunky to setup (audio support is not installed by default and I had to dig the old Xbox controller driver for W7 I think) but is otherwise a pretty good experience. Absolutely zero bullshit features installed and never changes things on its own.

The only issues I had were the version check of the Oculus installer (praise the soul on reddit who described how to bypass it with dnSpy), and some COD game refused to work on it too (too old, maybe it wanted a newer feature update).
Could you maybe provide a more specific search through my comment history to make whatever point you're trying to make? Because "tptacek assange" isn't nearly enough, and I'm not going to do your archival research for you.
If the displays don't have the pixels, then they should discount the price based on them being missing.
I don’t think NTP uses TLS by default. The closest equivalent I can find online is NTS, which was only standardized in 2020 (and for which I can’t find clear adoption numbers).

(But regardless: “the transport layer is secure” is not a good reason to leave memory unsafe code on the network boundary. Conventional wisdom in these settings is to do the “defense in depth” thing and assume that transport security can be circumvented.)
With all the intelligence built in to current cars, the salesman should be able to send a group text to the cars on the lot asking whether any of them has all or most of the desired features. And if so, what are its GPS coordinates. Or turn on it's emergency flashers and sound horn in five minutes.
Oh I guess it didn't load for me then. I was a bit surprised at the absence of it.

I think they wanted an example of each animation in a list.

But I'm going to add my own nitpick and say that there shouldn't be any gifs. It's a wasteful annoying format. Use a video for it's smaller size, better visuals and it's ability to be paused/played/seeked. An asciinema would be nice too.
The SF90 resale values seem to also be impacted by issues with the battery and charging system. I remember reading quite a few stories about electrical gremlins on FerrariChat. Even if the issues are worked out by later updates (which they may or may not be), that kind of bad reputation can have a big impact on depreciation.
Why are C and C++ all of a sudden unsafe? Did I miss something?

That way I don't have to rebuild the binary to update the website. This makes posting new articles take tens of seconds at most.
but it may very well be seen as a mark of English pragmatism, or other more fitting attribution of archetypes, in return.

Interpretations of cultural origins of expressions in either language and romantic admiration for the shapes that words take is neither meant as a qualification of the speakers, nor is the fascination for one culture automatically meant to be entitled or hostile towards another.

You may very well admire the poetic yet observative nature of Japanese composita, as well as take delight in uncommon, inventive and elegantly rythmic English idioms. You may as well interpret freely what you see in them. All without putting one above the other, or regarding them as competitors.

And I'll be happy to have learned both today!
Yes, and voluntarily, at that.
Seattle has a zero traffic deaths by 2030 initiative:

Of course, the only way to achieve this is by having zero cars.

Airplanes are designed with a maximum fatality rate in mind, because mandating zero means mandating either infinite cost or zero airplanes.
Searching for "all articles are available offline and without an internet connection" (with the quotes) in your favorite search engine might help.
You know what ruined the internet for me? When, after downloading a copy of an album I owned a physical copy of, my ISP inserted a javascript popup into every website I visited stating I had done something wrong--and it wouldn't go away until admitting wrong doing. Like, wtf? Feck off.
Assuming the mythical black swan doesn't come in, drop returns 20% and stays that way for years, but yet, I'm too following this path. It's the best that can be done, black swans or not.
I don't know, but it sure won't have anything to do with sanitizing fairy tales, which is what we're talking about here.
Same. Anecdata I know yadda yadda. But I don't know one single person that is hyped about _consuming_ art or any content generated by AI. Only people producing content with generative AI and expecting a financial benefit are the excited ones. And I might guess they are not that keen into consuming AI generated content as well. It's all about who is the sucker that pays for all the slop.

HN doesn't support charts, but here's a snippet from wikipedia:

>Consumer surplus, or consumers' surplus, is the monetary gain obtained by consumers because they are able to purchase a product for a price that is less than the highest price that they would be willing to pay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Economic-surpluses.svg

Sure, producers can claim that surplus by charging more (up to the willingness the consumer is willing to pay), but if there's a competitor that isn't doing this, then the consumer will switch to the competitor and keep their surplus.
I'm pretty sure they do. You get maybe a few cents based on the physical area that the rounding leaves out. Of course, you can't just pay the few cents for a non-rounded screen if they don't already have masks for non-rounded screens. That's why Framework decided to compromise on the rounded option, as that one had already been commissioned by another customer, but if they wanted the same thing but without rounding they would have had to pay for brand new tooling.
Asking informed consent could be justified. Copying files secretly could not.
All of a sudden? They've been unsafe for decades, it's just that you had less of a choice then.
>It's not possible to install a local account any more.

If you use Rufus to create a usb disk from iso, one of the options is to create a local account automatically during install.
So by what logic can you support privacy?

If the systems recreate existing inequalities, then we haven't solved these issues in real life. How can we solve these issues comprehensively?

Seems a better approach is pass privacy protections, then pass laws addressing specific things as we have solutions for them. The AI impact assessment would be better in an AI specific bill that tackles other AI issues too (like law enforcement or government use, what types of systems should require human in the loop, etc).
Every company and their mothers aren't piling into it hoping to strike gold though.
The point here is that you might have a system that is compliant, but then MS pushes this and suddenly it’s uploading data that you thought was safe.
You need to have an operable understanding of the definitions of “conspiracy” and “conspiracy theory”, if you’re gonna flame people like this.
> Do you care that a tech company is extracting huge sums from digital markets or do you just care how?

Everyone should care how! The how is the important part.

If there are alternative ways to access something then people are free to compete of product. That's a huge difference because competition is generally consumer friendly.
I'm sure anyone using Windows implicitly agreed to this "feature" via EULA but it sounds to me like data theft and something state attorneys general might want to start looking into. It stinks whichever way you approach it.
Luckily there wasn't any weird content, just work stuff and memes with colleagues. I couldn't even open the files because it was locked under her login/password, literally just see the thumbnails and titles of the file. It's such a weird feature.

Imagine opening your file explorer and seeing the attached files of your ex's emails, updated live, it's a nightmare I swear.

This is how conspiracy theories are so resilient. Everything is evidence of the conspiracy.

Someone gets arrested? The conspirators had it out for them. They later get freed? The conspirators simply changed their mind!

It's not that you're wrong, it's just that your argument is entirely unfalsifiable.
