Copyright is only as good as your enforcement of it.

Seems like this company already understands enforcement is crap.


It’s open source, just not open domain.

If it's open source, where are the sources? And how do I make my own from those sources?

One of the criteria for being open source is no discrimination against fields of endeavor. This license clearly discriminates against any field of endeavor other than (non-commercial) research.

Not if you actually read what the extension does and drag and drop it into chrome yourself.

Don't install from the web store. Those ones can auto-update.


Your suggestion is to not use the platform as intended, and to understand the source code of the extension. That advice is not actionable by non-technical people and does not help mitigate mass surveillance.

Ok, should we just use the provided 'app' and assume things are fine? FAANG or whoever take our privacy and security very seriously, you know!

The only reasonable approach is to view the code that is run on your system, which is possible with a extension script, and not possible with whatever non-technical people are using.


I don't know what point you're trying to make, but I already expect OpenAI to maintain records of my usage of their service. I do not however want other parties to be privy to this data, especially without my knowledge or consent.

The core idea: normally, parentheses strengthen grouping:

1 + (2 * 3) forces 2 * 3 to happen first.

Without them, operator precedence decides. The post asks a deliberately strange question:

What if parentheses did the opposite — instead of grouping things tighter, they made them bind less tightly?


And the money to pay for it. So better get to work.

wow I thought brother was a respectable brand. thanks for sharing this.


They are not anymore, aim to buy an old used model. You can look up online to find out when they started their scammy behavior and which models to target.


what was the company?


Obviously made up...

This ad did the rounds last week and people were talking in the comments about this scenario.

Sure it could've happened, but odds are this is just made up.


Been there and absolutely can see this happening, it is sometimes a prodromal symptom called a 'sign of reference' [1].

I recall during my first psychosis episode thinking a TNT logistics van contained a bomb and was being used as a terrorist vehicle to blow up a building (or maybe at the time I think it could have been targeting myself directly).

Also, in that same episode, the train stations in Sydney were being plastered on every possible space and surface with high contrast white on blue posters that said "HEY TOSSER!" [2]; it was an anti littering ad campaign bringing some levity to the situation. My mind was overwhelmed by both its alerting nature and the fact that everywhere I would turn I'd see a poster, and in my infirmity it felt like someone was pointing a finger an inch from my forehead arresting me to say I should stop being a tosser in the derogatory (Australian slang) sense (though my mind was contending with the many multiple meanings).

Yes it was made up. A post from two weeks earlier [1] showed a fridge ad saying 'We're sorry we upset you, Carol.' That post now has an update:

> EDIT 2: Hello, I am the original poster of the carol AD image from a month ago. I am a male from America and my name is not Carol. The story about a Schizophrenic woman named carol was most likely fabricated from the 3rd top comment on this post. Thanks!

Come in Hacker News, we're better than this!

Actually thinking a bit more, this doesn't prove anything. The ad was showing on many fridges, and apparently it said 'Carol' everywhere (it wasn't actually personalized).


Could be made up, sure... everything on Reddit might be made up. But dismissing it outright feels a bit too easy


this seems reasonable to me, i don't have schizophrenia but i'm pretty sure i'd start stabbing a fridge if I ever saw it give me an advertisement


Same. I’m pretty stable but just looking at pictures of that ad in the comments I felt my heart-BMP raise.

It isn’t just the fact that it’s an ad. The intense black and yellow is unsettling with strong ‘warning’ vibes.

Here’s a picture for folks wondering: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1ow6cpu/appa...


That's a webpage with an ad being viewed in the browser app.

It isn't part of the "cover screen" (home screen) where the Samsung ads show up.

On one hand you're correct, but on the other hand Carol is a very common name and this is a very reasonable reaction. I'm split, and I think this is plausible enough to take seriously.


So if you shave your head your hair will grow slower?


> you won't ever see the act of allocation fail

ever? If you have limited RAM and limited storage on a small linux SBC, where does it put your memory?


It handles OOM by killing processes.
