Tldr: we like money. We think people will pay for it, so we’re charging.
- Comment on Attorney General Bonta Urgently Issues Consumer Alert for 23andMe Customers 2 weeks ago:
No lawyer / accountant is going to sign off on that. It would get flagged as fraud during due diligence and lower the price due to the risks of lawsuits and fines

Yes, it’s not worth them fucking around with various pii / gdpr fines. As someone who has worked with pii, we always took deletion requests seriously.

Well I’m glad I downloaded all my genome data and deleted it a few months ago. It was easy to do, there’s no way excuse not to.

Salt water.

Check Costco. They sell carts like that since people use them for their grocery runs.

No, From is the new Lost. It’s so good though, I highly recommend it.
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 5 weeks ago:
They didn’t. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
Happens in small planes too www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65814758

Shoot it down, or just get it’s attention. A lot of the time there’s a radio fuckup. If some guy cruising in his Cessna sees a fighter pull up along side, he’s definitely switching to 121.5.
Otherwise be there to shoot it down quicker if it looks like it might be taking an aggressive action.
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 5 weeks ago:
Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.
Power plugs are similar problems. You can’t risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don’t care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.

TIL MapQuest is still around.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 1 month ago:
I think there’s a lot of grunt work artists than you might be aware of. My last job was at a video game studio and it was kinda eyeopening the amount of generic story boarding / art work they would send over to Eastern Europe / Asia to be done for cheap.
The visible side of the industry (what you’re talking about) yeah I agree, but AI is slowly going to pick away at the lower skill levels until only experts are really useful. How does a junior become an expert in that world?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 1 month ago:
how will it change the average person’s life in 1 - 3 years?
To be blunt, it’ll probably make them worry about losing their job. AI can’t do everything and it does a lot of stuff pretty shitty, but so do a lot of people.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 1 month ago:
A lot will fail yes, but I think there’s actually a lot of value in AI and many will succeed. Blockchain has always been a solution in search of a problem, but AI actually can help in a lot of ways.
- Comment on Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co. 1 month ago:
I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.

Have you seen self adhesive tape? It’s a bit nicer at least.

- Comment on Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume? 1 month ago:
So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they’re trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.
Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

Bro. Not everything is a conspiracy.
- Comment on Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again 1 month ago:
We saw a spike of users for the papaya snark community when they were banned off reddit, I think it’s that.

Lemmy.ca signups per day if we go back to the start of the first exodus:

With the way the bricks are laid, wouldn’t it distribute the weight across the entire base?

- Comment on Whats your favorite domain extension? 1 month ago:
Valid, but it’s run by a group in the UK that runs several of the popular ones. It’s prooooobably not going anywhere.
- Comment on Whats your favorite domain extension? 1 month ago:
Sh for shell scripts.
- Comment on Do dogs experience nostalgia? 2 months ago:
I don’t think we have any way to know.
My dog definitely remembers and gets excited about places when going back after years. Does he think about those places otherwise? Probably not
