> Have fun trying to reclaim a warranty from the discount chinese numbered company that tops your amazon search.

I remember seeing someone else raging about how a Chinese company on Amazon had no accountability because the business address field was filled with unintelligible gibberish and there was no way to find the company.

So I looked it up. Not only was it very easy to find the address, it was obviously the address of the owner's personal home. So even if the company did go out of business, odds are good you could make contact and ask for redress.

People will assume anything.
El Salvador showed you the way. Mexico is 5 years from lasting peace if the appropriate measures are taken.
> The justification is that if they were taken away, they were surely up to something: that if they were killed, they must have done something.

Occam's Razor would suggest that if 9 people are kidnapped simultaneously, murdered and transported across state lines to complicate the resulting investigation, it's pretty likely that the cartels are involved and they were targeted for a reason, as opposed to being the work of (say) an extremely efficient random solo mass murderer.

Of course, it doesn't mean they personally did anything, the cartels can and do regularly kidnap and murder relatives, people in the wrong place at the wrong time etc just to send a message.
Why would a B2C blood test company need to be publicly traded?

The answer is simple: going public is a cheat code that unlocks millions in cash for deeply unprofitable companies that can sell tall tales to pension funds that need things to toss money at. Coat it in some "we're a tech company" pixie dust to seal the deal.
In this case, ad redirected to a copy of a famous apparel store. When clicking to pay for item, the site would redirect to what looked like a genuine auto parts store that was probably hacked. You would enter the card data there. What got me was that I was tired and the fact that fb opened the websites on their embedded browser. At the time at least, the browser would not show the web address so you would not know that you are on a fake website, or on a website that clearly had "auto parts" in it's name.

I didn't lost any money because I blocked the card. In about more than a month I receive a notification grom my bank that an ATM transaction was tried but it failed.

A creation myth is literally a story about where people come from, the connection seems fairly obvious.
This is simply not true. If you turn on Fox News or even listen to the current administration talk, they are talking about transgender people.

Hell, Ted Cruz ran an ad depicting transgender children as big burly men who want to hurt YOUR daughters on the soccer field. He's a senator. He's got bigger fish to fry than that.

Even if you truly believe conservatives aren't making a boogeyman out of nothing, which is very hard to believe, but even if you do - if you look at the legislation being proposed it doesn't target the narrow cases you think it does. It harms all trans people. A lot of it targets gender-affirming care for adults.

And then immigration. How many people have illegally been detained now? Are we in the few hundreds? Where's their due process? I won't mince words. If you think the Trump administration is only targeting "illegal" immigrants, you are stupid.

Not that we didn't see any of this coming. For months leading up to this administration, the left warned about Project 2025 and it's radical ideals. We reminded you that this has nothing to do with children. With illegal immigrants. This has to do with every American. But you, evidently, continue to fall for obvious lies. After a certain point, we must deduce that you have subscribed to some religion, and it is out of our hands.

We are working on a JSON/TOML format for Landlock, with the related library, and bindings for several languages: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/landlockconfig

I am finding there is value in having a tight loop between human & machine (LLM). Trying to design LLM "agents" that take a single human command and then run off into the dark forest for a billion tokens is not the right path.

We should be designing "agents" that aggressively involve the user at every possible opportunity. In all contexts of use, you should have something like an AskUserQuestion() function that can be called in parallel each turn. Then, the user serves the AI in answering these questions before they get what they originally asked for. Effectively, this makes the user do a big information loop that could have otherwise been skipped in their initial prompt, but guiding the user when they are not 100% focused can help a lot.

I thought this was what we were aiming for this entire time, but it seems like the goldilocks zone is a bit more complicated than is preferred with fly-by-night AI vendors. To build this requires deep understanding of the "happy paths" through the business. How could you expose functions to the LLM if you don't know what they are or are experiencing disagreement regarding the process around them as a team?

The ultimate conclusion I wind up with is that very few teams & products are organized enough to plug directly into an LLM agentic cybernetic whatever you want to call it. If you cant get the team & customers all on the same page about what the product is, I don't know how the AI is going to help. Once you do get everything standardized enough, you may find you don't care about the purported benefits of AI anymore (you've already realized them).
> really good data sources with fully open access (no user accounts necessary)

Ola!

I am the author of the repo, worked in satellite projects for the Galician goverment some years ago.

You don't need an account to download the data from OSM (you do need to contribute back, which makes sense IMO).
You don't need an account to download tiles from some publicly available sources (i.e. https://pnoa.ign.es/ in Spain) but I prefer to made the code work with MapBox and let them pay the infra (until they stop free offering). Happy to share a simple snippet to use a different tile provider.

Any public dataset (that I am aware) is not really meant to be frequently updated, at best you get a second version release a year later. A lot of public money (I know because have been payed a small portion of these budgets) is spent on building datasets that are used for a couple of research papers, uploaded to the web and then become outdated.

If I want to help updating them or correcting label mistakes, in most (all?) cases, there is no practical way for me to do it.

I believe that OpenStreetMap has the potential to be the best publicly available spatial "dataset" for (some specific) CV use cases.

If we focus on creating ways to contribute with quality data (the idea behind this small project), it will just keep getting a better dataset, that anyone can contribute to be up-to-date.

The fact that 23andme is at risk as a going concern tells you what you need to know about the potential of monetizing large amounts of generic data. It turns out you can’t get much value from it. If you could, they would have.

And no I don’t think all of that DNA data would be valuable to the likes of a large health insurer like Humana or Aetna either.

The medical records you are imagining an insurer can link to genetic data are worth even less than these DNA sequences turned out to be worth.

You honestly should have searched to see if they had a trademark. Unlike copyright, trademarks have to exist. I suspect you were probably played. They appeared nice, sure, but they don't appear nice to me. If it were me, I'd have' pointed the domain at a certain picture involving ladies and cups. I've dealt with bullies myself, even in the legal system (IANAL, but do run a few successful small time ventures), and it always blow my mind what people will say.
I recently had a guy from India that claimed I had a security vulnerability, and that I owe him a bounty. I have no bounty and the vulnerability did not exist (I suspect he misunderstood the issue completely...the issue was not an issue at all, it was as designed). When I didn't respond he followed up multiple times, and threatened to sue (I am in the U.S.) He finally gave up. The issue he was referring to was his misunderstanding of modern email standards. It wasn't an actual issue, nor did I ever offer any type of bounty of actual security stuff (I would, but most of my stuff is OOTB, if someone did come to me with an actual issue I'd definitely give them something)

If plaintiffs had to pay the fees for defense prior to settlement or judgement, most of this would disappear. Sadly, nobody has the balls to implement that.
Both my children have greatly benefited from the ED due to disabilities. Likely without it they would not be in college right now. Pell grants ensured that I could afford college.

None of this is legal, and I sincerely doubt if people actually knew what ED does they would support this travesty. Either way, do it legally, or get out of my country, you fascist.

My team built automation for the product recalls in 2011. The process roughly was: 1. Pull the listing off. 2. Inform warehouses to pull the product off the shelves and move them to a separate area. 3. Try and get shipments stopped. 4. Notify all those who bought the product about the recall. None of these were a technical challenge.

One of my favorite business managers managed this and she would scan reviews for potential dangerous products even if CPSC has not issued any recalls.

The real problem is why do you do with the recalled products. If it is expensive enough, the seller will take it back. With the flood of really cheap goods, they need to be destroyed and it is expensive. A lot of overseas sellers will just ghost Amazon since the cost of recall might be larger than their profits from that account.

> If it's not happening, why not allow businesses to prohibit it?

Well, we aren't.

But, more specifically, the stuff the left does have a problem with is not doing this. You, and other conservatives, are trying to play innocent. This "what, lil ole me?" approach to policy making and the publicity associated with it does not fly.

If you read the bills, any of them, take your pick, proposed by states across the US you would understand they aren't doing innocuous things like this. They are targeting transgender people and crossdressers in a much more extreme fashion. Limiting adults access to medical care, enforcing dress codes in public, and even making their very existence untenable.

You, as, I'm assuming, a proponent of government restraint should be against these. These affect non-trans people as well, and set a dangerous precedent for what the government is allowed to know. It harms privacy, autonomy, healthcare.

When these other vast downsides are brought up, you, predictably, put on the "nooo we're not going to do that!" charade. Surprise, after this administration we can no longer believe that. Practically everything everyone thought was off limits is no longer so. You can continue to play stupid, yes. But you should be careful - after a certain point, people might start believing you are just stupid.

> In talking to teachers across the country, the reasons phone policies don't work or are not implemented center on three main issues: safety (parents want their children to be reachable, especially during our era of heightened school violence), liability (phones are expensive, and in some districts, teachers have been held liable when they confiscated a phone the student later claimed was damaged), and lack of clear, consistent policy support (it can be difficult to rally an entire staff around a policy, maintain energy for its consistent enforcement, and make sure the work of its enforcement is upheld equitably).
Huh, maybe the reason it doesn't use this much for me is because my work has mostly source files that are far too large for Claude Code to read. It always has to ask for permission to use grep because it can't figure out how to use the read tool properly. I've done entire new features on probably around $15 of credit max.
I was specifying Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods because the parent comment did, not because they’re representative grocery stores.

At some point I saw some material that purportedly computed "Voting Power" as a function of population scaled by economic demographics.

It defined someone with a full time job and the option to take some time off to vote on a Tuesday without economic cost a voting power of 1.0V (i.e. One Vote) and went on to define people with full time hourly job where it 'cost' them to vote as .85V, down to single caregivers and unhoused people at 0.5V. On the other side of the scale people in management as 2V (they influence people who work for them to vote like they do), senior leadership at 10V (they have "extra" money to fund additional campaign activities to drive votes), and above that 50V for people who aren't constrained by "work." I would guess billionaires would be 100V or something.

This was in response to a anti-gerrymandering legislation where defining a district to have more voting power for your party while still having an even distribution of individuals representing different parties. Pretty evil IMHO.
