I have a Vietnam bank account tho I live in the States now. I recently enabled developer mode in my Android phone, didn't think much of it. But later when I open my mobile banking app it told me to disable developer mode in order to open the app.

It's not just root that they block.

I appreciate the link to differences in differences, I didn't know what to call this method.

The OP's point could still be valid: it’s still possible that macro factors like inflation, interest rates, or tariffs land harder on the exact group they label ‘AI-exposed.’ That makes the attribution messy.

I want to build my own agents so I can my private domain specific awareness in the coding environment: PRDs, product docs, API docs, business goals, etc. I'm assuming I could point this to any API compatible endpoint and build my own agents?

I'm getting an SSL error in Chrome for Android.

This is due to NextDNS, possibly the domain is on a blocklist.

> "Detroit's police chief said their facial recognition technology, when used alone, fails 96% of the time, Insider previously reported."

When it fails 96% of the time, are they given a hundred possible matches to scroll through? If so, that's concerning to the majority of people showing up without any affiliation to a crime.

Seattle's air pollution quality is so low because there's a vast ocean separating the Seattleites from the manufacturing that supplies it with new phones, appliances, furniture, clothing, building materials and just about everything from the source of the pollution.

Rain is nice, but that has very little to do with it.

The growth in moat of these countries is up so much they cant burn enough coal to keep from brown outs.

Outsourced pollution.

If you need data, just peak at a global air pollution map. Dive into the historical metrics.

That's every day in much of the world. I lived in Southeast Asia for 8 years and 9/10 days the air was unhealthy.

Agreed. This new title strikes me as washing away the true meaning of what's happening.

There's no mention of Taiwan, which is is specifically related to.

Who can rewrite titles on hackernews? Can we get an explanation who made the change and why?

This company pretends it has the moral high ground, but like most of corporate America, they always have an eye on Chinese profits. America's future is at stake and we won't wake up until it's too late.

Hacker News: Big tech stiffles competition, the little guy can't compete

Also Hacker News: small independent publishers leveraging email for publishing shouldn't get engagement data on their independent newsletters.

Aggregate open rate data is vital to a newsletter. It makes it easy to spot delivery issues. It's an early indication of content quality, and important feedback loop.

I'm fully for blocking identifiable tracking. But isn't there room for a solution for anonymous engagement metrics?

Email newsletters are a great way for individuals to control their distribution channel built on top of federated, decentralized technology.

Adtech is the enemy.

As a PWA on Android this is great! I can share from Spotify and then it opens a Songwhip link to share. Solves a minor problem I have about sharing music links.

She reported this issue on April 3rd. Google marked it as a duplicate on April 21st, meaning someone else had already reported it.

After it was not fixed, she publicly disclosed the issue and within 7 hours it was patched.

What broke in the process at Google? This issue allowed GSuite users to impersonate each other to send email. That is very serious.
