(I'm the Couchers co-founder who wrote this blog post.) Yes I agree, CouchSurfing.com went to shit through a slow process of enshittification that ended up looking like this. That's exactly why we founded Couchers.org when CouchSu

Part of it is the better UI and new tech, but there's a lot more too. Just on that point though: there's actually another open-source platform called Trustroots. They initally started as a rewrite of the BeWelcome frontend, but be

Couchers founder and wrote the article. I don't think so: it just takes thoughtful moderation, setting clear rules, and then enforcing them. When you make it socially unacceptable on the platform, people do a good job reporting inappro

I'm one of the Couchers founders and wrote this blog post (and incidentally spend way too much time on HN), awesome to see this show up here! This launch is the culmination of a huge push from our volunteer team to clean up a bunch of

So if you end up being famous and talked about a lot on Wikipedia, your name will compress better? The impact of bias in training data is interesting in general here. What's the impact on Wikipedia's article biases? That's pr

I wonder if AWS are shooting themselves in the foot (if these things become very popular), by making the "Cloud" a physical, tangible thing. I think part of the lustre for some customers is that they don't know what they&#x27

Correctly hashed (with salt and a memory+time hard hash) passwords are taken to be brute-force hard to crack. In that sense it's as safe to publish such hashed passwords on the internet, in the same way a website's public key is p

It's called dual licensing. The Au Gov got the code for TraceTogether (what OpenTrace, the open source implementation of BlueTrace is based on) weeks before the source was publicly released as GPL.

I quite like this idea. It seems for now to be fairly simple: I think more "decorations" and higher detail on trees, or whatever, might be important. It seems that it's only 2.5D though. Have you considered making it truly 3D

This is a hidden case of confounding. In particular, you would expect a question such as "in uncertain times I usually expect the best" to be very heavily confounded with your chance of making it through uncertain times (in the pa

Yes, most browsers treat password boxes as sensitive input which has implications to a lot of things. For instance if a blind person types in their CVV using assistive tools on Firefox on macOS, making it a password stops it from being read

There's some more subtlety to this "what if you're too poor to initiate a recovery" idea. Suppose I know a person with $10k of crypto lost their key which requires a 50% escrow for recovery, but they haven't yet ini

That's actually really interesting about TicketMaster. I can't find any info about it online; but if that's actually what's happening, it's genius—I never thought about that possibility.
