Hex aka Parameter is an irresponsible company, on my blacklist. after they did an unsolicited pentest on us, we scheduled a call. joke of a team.

hilarious that their headline message, on every web page, is `Backed by YC`.

also, the product is way behind their competitors anyway.

really cool exploit they found here, but that doesn't make them a company worth doing business with.

Absolutely. It would be insane for the US to offer my specific example. I'm just making the point that China (and Russia, but I didn't give an example) can do something. Their hands aren't tied.

how do they not see the self-inconsistency?

they "cannot" blacklist the domains on geoIP basis, yet the "can" withdraw from France? via what method? Removing the French servers is clearly insufficient, so why can they deny France entirely via geoIP, but not block the domains just via geoIP?

they do claim a value-based reason (good on them for it), but they are very very insistent about the "impossibility" anyway. can't have it both ways.

Cursing at it and telling it how stupid it is, are treating it like a human being ...

I personally find it to be a disgusting way to get customers. The company pays for the service, yet they also get to be the product.

the lawyer has to use a ZDR tier of LLM, not just any llm. the lawyer using the same LLM as the client would, destroys the attorney-client privilege.

note that the client using an enterprise tier does not grant the same privilege.

> The light bulb form factor is cute but probably not that useful. Most of the light will be aimed in non-useful directions. Look into ultra short throw projectors.

gonna hard disagree! you aren't going to have 360° projector in there with wasted light going nowhere. you're going to have 1-4 steerable projectors. the "facade" as a globe bulb means you can place it at any direction you like depending on where the cord needs to go. for ceiling as well you don't want it to have a fixed throw direction. bulb makes perfect sense.

the summary presented by the drive feels like an overreach. but we live in the world of can't have nice things so there you go i guess.

i doubt there's all that many beneficial owners of montana businesses that live in california, but surely there are many nevadans and oregonians that straddle the border and will get unfairly caught up in this.

you don't even have to be rich. it's not much more onerous than a generic small business. i know more than one 2-car-inventory dealerships.

but it's only worth the effort if you are rich enough to buy cars that incur substantial tax and reg fees. you still need to have insurance and the dealership kind of insurance costs a lot. you probably aren't going to get umbrella coverage to include it either, so you'll have more limited liability.

it's tongue in cheek

they aren't in the business of selling consoles (duh). they are in the business of selling games. jailbroken consoles can run pirated games ...

consoles are sold at a loss, best information i can dig up is that this is still true today, even after all the volume.
