What's the security back-story here?

The security concerns here are really significant. In the section[1] on security, they write "we recommender you monitor Claude while using this feature." This borders on irresponsible IMO. Monitor what exactly? How should we monitor? What logs and metrics are exposed for security monitoring? How would a user recognize suspicious patterns...?

" By moving much faster than the bureaucracy and legal system can respond, the question on whether he has the power or authority to do the things he's doing may become moot."
This is a risky strategy if it is later determined that Musk broke laws with DOGE and is arrested and convicted.
lol. Trump has immunity, and can also pardon

A massive effort is currently underway by undersea mining companies to dredge the life out of huge swaths of largely unexplored seabed, including Antarctic and Polar regions.
It's the same insanity that allows industrial fishing fleets to drag kilometers-long nets through the sea scooping up megatons of bycatch -- although, this time we are likely to obliterate seabed ecosystems before anyone even has a chance to see them.
Some brilliant reads on these and surrounding topics:

all_usernames commented on Ask HN: Anyone know workarounds to MacBook Air M2 missing dual-monitor support? · Posted by u/terabytest
I've been using DisplayLink and the Startech adapter for 6 months and it's been rock solid. There is also a Dell hub in the middle as I could never get it working without.
Flow is as follows: Macbook -> USB-C -> Dell USB-C hub -> USB-A/B -> Dell monitor (USB hub) -> Startech adapter (USB A) -> 2x Dell Monitor DisplayPort.
FWIW I have 2 Dell 27 1080p both aligned portrait with a MBAir M2 on the side.
As for lag I haven't really noticed or perhaps I've got used to it... I do however use both screens for Teams video calls and it's pretty smooth quality.
Yep, a DisplayLink hub is the way. I've also been using one for 6 months and while it is perfectly stable, there are annoyances. For example certain protected video streams won't decode, and F.lux doesn't quite work on all monitors the way it should. Overall though I've put up with it. It's really an outrage that Apple restricted this basic functionality just because it could.

I don't know but I'm 25 years into my career and awk, sed, and grep are still valuable skills across many of the roles I work with.
I've often found fundamentals to be just as important, or more important, than chasing the trends.

The combination in Vivaldi browser of Workspaces (tab groups), pinned tabs, and vertical tabs has completely revolutionized my workday.

Vivaldi also has quite a head start on Arc, AFAIK. It's been almost entirely stable for my daily usage involving hundreds of ever-changing tabs...

Not to state the obvious, but this would be a wonderful time to share Ellsberg's story with someone in the younger generations.

Hol' up. They're replicating data across regions -- across /several/ regions -- on top of a service (S3) which already has 99.999999999% data durability in a single region? ...Why?
