- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 10 months ago:
Is there a standards body web developers should rely on, which suggests requiring MFA for every account? OWASP, for example, only recommends requiring it for administrative users, but for giving regular users the option without requiring it.
There’s some positives to requiring MFA for all users, but like any decision there’s trade offs. How can we throw 23andme under the bus when they were compliant with industry best practices?
- Comment on Top AI expert 'completely terrified' of 2024 election, shaping up to be 'tsunami of misinformation' 10 months ago:
the volume of actual AI misinformation is going to pale in comparison to the volume of people trying to use AI misinformation as a boogeyman to scare you into voting a certain way.
- Comment on GM stops selling the Chevy Blazer EV to deal with ‘software quality issues’ 10 months ago:
Hah, all the drama over Tesla issuing automatic updates and calling them “recalls”… at least they’re able to update their software.
- Comment on Tesla's recall of 2 million cars relies on a fix that may not even work 11 months ago:
A better solution, experts say, would be to require Tesla to use cameras to monitor drivers’ eyes to make sure they’re watching the road. Some Teslas do have interior-facing cameras. But they don’t see well at night, unlike those in General Motors or Ford driver monitoring systems, said Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies vehicle automation safety.
In case you were wondering who wrote the article
- Comment on Tesla Tech Allowed An Abusive Husband To Break A Restraining Order, And A San Francisco Judge Sided With The Automaker 11 months ago:
Tesla told the woman that it could not remove her husband’s access to the car’s technology because his name remained on the vehicle’s title as a co-owner, along with hers, according to records she filed in her lawsuit.
This sounds like a problem courts needed to resolve, not Tesla. They don’t reasonably know which spouse has legal possession of the car.
- Comment on Steve Jobs Rigged The First iPhone Demo By Faking Full Signal Strength And Secretly Swapping Devices Because Of Fragile Prototypes And Bug-Riddled Software 11 months ago:
Every tech demo ever is fake, with the possible exception of the original Cybertruck demo, but I suspect even that one just wasn’t faked very well.
- Comment on YouTube Video Recommendations Lead to More Extremist Content for Right-Leaning Users, Researchers Suggest 11 months ago:
Subjective biases can play a huge part in stuff like this. The researchers behind this story had to go through a bunch of YouTube channels and determine whether they constitute extremist right wing content or not.
I think it’s a safe assumption that if you took the people consuming that content and asked them whether the video they just watched was right wing extremist content, most of them would say no.
So, it’s possible that you don’t think you’re being overwhelmed with right wing extremist content, but that somebody else looking at your viewing history might think you are.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck's stiff structure, sharp design raise safety concerns - experts 11 months ago:
Cars made of metal do more damage when running down pedestrians than cars made of nerf do. Is the solution to make all cars out of nerf, or to stop running down pedestrians?
- Comment on EU Article 45 requires that browsers trust certificate authorities appointed by governments 1 year ago:
You just went from complaining about having to manually trust certificates, to acting like you’d be ok having to install a browser plugin that tells you which certs to trust….
Why did you need government regulation to solve the original problem? Couldn’t you have just installed a plugin for it?
- Comment on Model says her face was edited with AI to look white: ‘It’s very dehumanizing’ 1 year ago:
Uh, it’s not that they made her look white. They made her look like a Romulan.

- Comment on Disney is about to own all of Hulu | Disney’s paying more than $8 billion for Comcast’s stake in Hulu. 1 year ago:
Maybe they’ll roll Hulu’s content into Disney+ without raising prices.
Without raising prices, right?
- Comment on YouTube Is Monetizing Human Suffering at an Open Air Drug Market 1 year ago:
Is it wrong to monetize newspapers or documentaries? This is journalism too, and the people who document it deserve compensation for the work they do.
- Comment on YouTube Is Monetizing Human Suffering at an Open Air Drug Market 1 year ago:
It’s good to bring exposure to these types of issues, even if the only way to do that is through a commercial platform. There’s nothing wrong with monetizing this.
- Comment on People really need to stop listening to the two idiots in this war. Especially the media... 1 year ago:
Where is the guy who thinks we shouldn’t be sending war money to Israel, Palestine, OR Ukraine?
- Comment on Political Ass Fuck 1 year ago:
I never got the without lube thing. That’s painful for both of us. Is there a way to make it painful just for the other person, but not for me?
- Comment on X adds video calling — and lets strangers ring you: Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up 1 year ago:
Headline: “let’s anyone you follow potentially call you up”
Article: “To be able to call someone, they must have sent at least one direct message to your account.”
This makes total sense. Your DM conversation has too much back and forth so you say “let’s take it to an audio or video call”, and then hash it out in person.
There’s a reason Slack has this exact same feature…

- Comment on LinkedIn Issues Warning to Site Shaming Pro-Palestinian Sentiment. 1 year ago:
I just don’t want to hire the sort of person who posts their opinions about world politics on LinkedIn, regardless of what particular opinion that is. LinkedIn is for work stuff, and I don’t want to work with people who can’t separate that stuff from work.
- Comment on Tesla Model X Owner Has Had Enough Of Minimalism, Adds Physical Buttons 1 year ago:
I still think it’s theoretically possible to do a touch interface right… but nobody has figured it out yet. Any interaction that requires you to navigate between multiple menus while driving is doing it wrong, but if you could get all the relevant buttons on screen, in predictable enough locations that people can click them while driving, it could work….
But at that point I’m not sure there’s much benefit to the screen vs physical buttons.
- Comment on Spotify Removes Offensive Imagery But Keeps Transphobic Song Despite Outcry 1 year ago:
I’m old enough to remember when it was the Christians getting music they thought was offensive pulled from the public eye, not the other way around.

Narrated by a text to speech voice? With broken English grammar that was clearly written by somebody in Russia or China? I love those videos.

- Comment on Presidential cock 🤤 1 year ago:
Are we just gonna ignore the part about using his company’s money to pay for it?
(Far as I care, that’s between him and the company though. If that’s how they want to spend their money, more power to them)

He estimates he’s had about three interviews a day
Bullllllshit. Three introductory calls with recruiters per day, maybe, but not interviews.
- Comment on Waving Palestinian flag may be a criminal offence, Braverman tells police 1 year ago:
“It is not just explicit pro-Hamas symbols and chants that are cause for concern. I would encourage police to consider whether chants such as: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world,
I don’t approve of what Palestine is doing, but saying “I want to be free” is in no way similar to saying “I want to erase somebody else from the world”.
Glad we have free speech here in America, so people can say stuff like that, and other people can think they’re jerks, but at the end of the day neither of them end up in jail over it.

So instead of being fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by journalists, you can get fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by Twitter users? If you insist on not reading the article, I’m not sure one of those is worse than the other.
