Musk's X Corp loses lawsuit against Israeli data-scraping company (www.reuters.com)

May 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit in which Elon Musk's X Corp accused an Israeli data-scraping company of illegally copying and selling content, and selling tools that let others copy and sell content, from the social media platform....

Alsup is one of the few judges who actually bothers to have a clue about what they're doing.

barsquid ,

Even a single security fuckup on the scale of GitLab's mistake earlier this year means I will not consider using their codebase.

Let's set up your subscription to your own hardware! Continue / remind me later?

They would just put their hands on their ears and repeat "Hunter Biden laptop" until a scary fact like that one goes away.

barsquid ,

Are you serious? AI is about lowering the cost of labor for office workers by not needing junior talent. None of these billionaires are going to free you from slaving your life away.

barsquid ,

Paying to watch commercials will be a no from me. I remember people did this but it is still hard to believe. 1/3 of the content per hour is ads, they are all repetitive and stupid. Except now they are repetitive and stupid despite selling all your data to the advertisers.

barsquid ,

I, too, would like to know this.

barsquid ,

I'm just disappointed with people pretending to be against genocide while bothsidesing an overtly racist fragile demagogue who did a putsch. It's very clear which direction that party is headed.

barsquid ,

You got around 1% of the vote in 2016 up against two of the most hated people on the planet. Unfortunately a third party won't be anywhere near the executive branch unless the voting system is changed.

I bet people would be less enraged if the browser didn't randomly open so often.

barsquid ,

That's also my preferred way to remove Edge.

The last time I saw someone talk about using the right LLM tool for the job, they were describing turning two minutes of writing a simple map/reduce into one minute of reading enough to confirm the generated one worked. I think I'll pass on that.

barsquid ,

The new questions were just all duplicates.

barsquid ,

It's not a consistent 50%, it's 50% off one task that's so simple it takes two minutes. I'm not doing enough of that where shaving off minutes is helpful. Maybe other people are writing way more boilerplate than I am or something.

barsquid ,

My understanding is that those are slower (SODIMMs) or are able to use more power (DIMMs) to maintain signal fidelity.

barsquid ,

I'm sure they'll deactivate your account over that, though, maybe blacklist you. Sucks if you need them for something and cannot risk the chargeback.

barsquid ,

Yeah, Aliexpress. All the same stuff as Amazon but at a discount you get for being patient.

barsquid ,

You may as well buy from Aliexpress if you are shopping on Amazon. The only difference is the price and the transit time.

The Fifteen Million Merits episode of Black Mirror.

I don't trust that they won't save the data and upload it during a servicing.

barsquid ,

Oh, true. Luckily I never go anywhere in my car so none of my positional data will correlate with the car's.

barsquid ,

They're basically all doing it, so make sure to research who is doing it the least.

barsquid ,

Facebook/Meta love facilitating genocide, they do it on the regular.

barsquid ,

Going from 1 TB to 2 TB SSD on this iPad is somehow $400? That is a clown price but it is a 50% discount on going from 512 GB to 1 TB. What the actual fuck?

barsquid ,

That is better but I don't know if it brings it down to reality.

barsquid ,

It would be cool if they stored a hash of the recovery email, then you type it out during the recovery process and they can send if the hash matches what they got.

barsquid ,

I disagree it would be the same as a password. They do use only the hash to validate the entry, that is the same. But then they send recovery to the email instead of proceeding in place. An attacker would have to both know the email and be able to access its inbox. (Or, less likely, generate a hash collision with an address they do control.)

I think they could do verification if they kept the plaintext address just long enough to send something out.

The UX of only being able to show hashes would be pretty unfortunate, sure. Maybe that's a potential compromise if they kept just a first letter, likex***@example.com? Same number of stars in the interface regardless of the real length of email, to attempt to leak less info.

barsquid ,

You're incorrect. If they salt the hash and use bcrypt it is computationally infeasible for Microsoft to match it against a customer. Or at least expensive enough that Microsoft would insist on warrants and subpoenas.

barsquid ,

But you're describing a standard Dem. Repubs are actively trying to drag us backwards. They are regressives.

barsquid ,

They can go whether the driver wants them to or not once the pedal is stuck down. (Unless they've been mildly dampened outside of car wash mode.)

barsquid ,

Whats the cost of a human life brah?

That depends on if grandma is being evaluated by an Obama Death Panel (life is precious and invaluable) or by the stock market in 2020 (she has, what, a couple years left anyway, let her die).

barsquid ,

How do you set this up?

barsquid ,

This is so cool, thank you!

barsquid ,

We, as an entire society, will have to stop paying for any of this shit to make that happen.

barsquid ,

Imagine telling this to a time traveler from the 20th Century. "You have self-driving cars?" "Yeah, how else will they get back to the dealership when you miss a payment?" LOL fuck this timeline.

barsquid ,

I agree with you but I am cynical that letters expressing what constituents want will be heard above the cash registers ringing from taking in lobbyists' donations.

barsquid ,

I think "great" carries a sort of connotation as if engineers expect it might work once or twice. From the sounds of it, the better description of the submersible for the surviving trips might be that it worked miraculously. Basically divine intervention that they made it back even once.

barsquid ,

Same, I used to always pick Ubuntu to spin up servers. Now I pick it never.

barsquid ,

I knew I'd find some receipts in here.

barsquid ,

And also warn newcomers not to invest time into those distros.

barsquid ,

I love it. If it weren't overpriced as hell I'd want to buy one to root and install my own apps. The AI portion of it is dumb.

barsquid ,

It could be a lot better if it were able to get through tough terrains like wet beach sand. Or if the body didn't rust after touching moisture. Or if it was able to survive a car wash.

Also it would have been neat if they had some automotive professionals working there to tell them that the accelerator pedal needs to come back up when your foot is off it.

barsquid ,

This breakthrough technology could finally provide a way to teach people on the MTA not to hold the doors.

barsquid ,

It that point why not just have some blades slide out on the third try?

barsquid ,

There's no way I'm sleeping in an area that needs lockout/tagout to enter safely.

barsquid ,

Someone needs to eminent domain the super charging network and run it as a service or at worst a utility.

barsquid ,

I think it might be possible to get around all their menus with just tab and enter, but it's less of a pain with a mouse last I tried.

He's right, the installer should either make mice work or have a GUI that doesn't expect them.

barsquid ,

Time limit should be higher but that sounds like a step in the right direction.
