Ah yes, the logical endpoint of any quirky hobby - becoming so invested in it that your family simply has to smile and nod approvingly while they pray it doesn't spill over into the living room. That said, if you're that skilled w

It's perfectly reasonable to harvest thousands of photos of unknowing people and then accost them based on faulty software that can produce an erroneous match? How so?

They are, sure, but they're really fun and some of them caught on. I think it's the exact kind of funny little thing we should encourage, language doesn't have to be serious.

Wow, that is fascinating. I will have to use auto-translation but definitely saving these for an evening read, thank you.

This gives me a chance to bring up my favorite collective noun for a group of animals: a bloat of hippopotami. Although a "dazzle" of zebras comes a second close. One of my favorite quirks of English, don't think other langua

$400, damn. Although, to be fair, that book does look to be the size of a hefty fantasy trilogy. If the printing quality is up to snuff, it should be a gorgeous and very interesting read.

This isn't a bad metaphor altogether and I appreciate that the post advocates for one thing that all too many such ideas ignore: talking to people and asking them what matters to them. You can never know if your kid finds something tru

There's also the fact that any of those messages can be reported for doxxing or screenshotted to show proof that they're doxxing. Also, Telegram group chats are encrypted, just not E2E, so they've also likely been reported by

Would you say you're aiming for the high end market or is that too risky of a venture, relying on reaching the appropriate and steep quality level, when the lower end would be easier? It seems like you've put substantial effort in

There's also this fun story [0], which was discussed here [1]. Fits nicely with Mozilla saying: "We’re here to prove that you can have an ethical tech business." Start by caring for your workers first, instead of giving pay r

It's not just luck because it's talent plus savviness plus the ability to spin your story. Sure, luck factors in but as anyone with a success story will tell you, it's never just luck unless you're talking about the lott

Not sure why this got downvoted, it's not like the person is endorsing Russia's decision. I'm highly skeptical a country that refused to go on lockdown and underreported cases would make a safe vaccine faster than the rest of

The article kind of ends up not giving a conclusive answer to the question posed in the headline though, just a pet peeve of mine. It's really more about the possibility of a new technology helping and even that, as you've said, i

There's a reason why any site dealing with crypto has a dozen labels begging people to double-check addresses, divulge no information to strangers, don't trust anyone, etc. However, warning labels come on any product and people st

> Facebook can't read your WhatsApp messages Are we sure it can't? Because WhatsApp is closed-source, its GDrive backups are unencrypted and Facebook's whole profit model is based around snooping. Unless they make the app

Nope, hasn't changed and it's one of the things on my "feature wishlist". Really hope they add for at least small chats.

Can we stop using 6-year-old info for apps that get updated monthly? The problems they have with MTProto have been patched literally 5 years ago, the only other criticism comes from a direct competitor, and they recommend WhatsApp despite t

The middle part is a bit too heady for me but I'm fascinated by this sentence in the conclusion: "I assume that you wouldn’t actually see a 999-piece puzzle because the lawyers would claim calling that 1000 was false advertising.&

Especially handy if you don't know the number of the person you need to contact or know their device has been compromised. No need to rely on technology when a simple trick will do the... erm, trick.

Ah yes, the perfect horror movie scenario. Honestly, if the office was pretty close to my home, I wouldn't mind going there every week on one or two days, just to break the routine of sitting at home. But happy to see the 5-day mandato

Seems so as well but I have to admit, it's an awful lot of effort just to gain a source of content. Realistically, it's more likely that these are just creative people who followed the trend (which they freely note in the piece) a

Has it not changed at all since the article's publication a bit over a year ago? The author expresses hopes of the new leadership changing things at the end but I take it that didn't happen?

As others have pointed out, if you're being subjected to consumeristic propaganda, might as well make it non-targeted so there's less chance of you buying in. It's like being dipped in a tub full of insects. You could choose

It's fascinating to me how the author describes this as a wondrous and curious experience. I feel like that's something that many people, me included, would imagine in a nightmare. Being awake but not in control, cognizant of your

That is 100% correct. Soon as Netflix and Steam became a thing, I pretty much stopped pirating. They are so convenient that pirating is actually a subpar experience. If you download a game, maybe there's a miner or malware in it. Downl

H.265 seems to be gaining traction slower because many of the older devices, including laptops and some smart TVs don't support it. H.264 became ubiquitous for piracy since it offered tiny size and worked on older devices, making it th

The paper also talks about improving retina sensitivity alongside color sensitivity, aren't these two different methods? How relevant is the former?

Possibly because nobody who actually reads scientific articles recreationally or for work will read the comments or at least won't consider them a serious discussion. However, leaving the comments off would likely cause those disagreei
