The title is very "grandma who doesn't know the tech" coded. Every game system is the Nintendo, controllers are remotes, etc.

Well the US nominally put in more safeguards against the same thing happening again. We've just dismantled them in record time and are moving on to those put in place after the 20s for some reason.

Probably a good ol' HN hug of death given the root domain 403s now. It just broke in a slightly different way than normal.

Didn't even have to wind them down to benefit in some cases. I can't remember if it was the automaker or some of the 08 bank bailouts where the stock the government took as part of the bailout turned a profit after a few years.

The carrier is just delivering a message your phone chokes on and then redelivers the message because your phone choked before it could ACK the message so as far as the carrier is concerned you never received it.

Why? The goal is to incentivize property owners to fix broken systems not to pay for the actual cost of responding to a real call. That's covered by taxes.

It's the lifecycle of many gig-economy apps. They start out good and slowly degrade as they plateau and try to find ways to cut expenses to continue growing.

That seems to be the pattern, US visitors get only the stupid new name while visitors outside the US get the Old Name (New/US Name). It's consistent across Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

Yeah that's where it comes down to what kind of disaster scenario you're actually thinking about preparing for. Though there's no amount of post disaster perusing of those Army manuals summarized by an LLM that's going to help you actually implement anything in them. The skill to use the info in those books without being a liability to yourself and others requires actual practice.

Also the way groups actually survive scenarios is rarely around actual fighting and is vastly more dependent on actual survival skills, cooperation, and organizing. The lone (or small group) survivalist fantasy is mostly an American larp.

Those are more militia LARP relevant than actual survival relevant in fairness but the other gaps are pretty bad. You can definitely have a useful too without that info and for disaster situations most people don't have to go into the level of hunting their own food so I guess it's more of a question of how long and how deep the disaster you're looking at info on is expected to go.

The issue is a lot of the AI generated books out there aren't carefully reviewed and it being AI written is an early sign it's crap at the moment, and it's expensive cognitively to build a list of "trusted authors" or to know when searching if you're finding true reviews by people who can meaningfully evaluate the content of the book or if you hit an AstroTurf post fluffing the author.

The other indicator and thing that puts at least myself off is that if the author used AI significantly in the process they didn't care enough about writing it before to put the real human effort into writing it so the chances it's worth spending my real human time reading is low.

I do hope a congress soon has the spine to fix the courts and some of their recent missteps, the list is getting very very long though.

Sometimes tapping a button is easier or faster than grabbing my mouse and navigating over to it but it is pretty infrequent.

Before Falcon came in and drove down launch costs significantly putting lots of satellites in low orbit you need to replace constantly was a bad way to design a satellite network. It still has some issues like the continuous ongoing cost where the traditional providers' satellites would last for many years before needing to be replaced.

We're not talking about slaves here... and someone does need to pick the food from the vine, big ag has tried for decades to automate picking of various fruits to little success. It turns out recognizing and handling ripe fruit is a difficult task for both vision and effectors.
