I’ve been interested in Zettelkasten for over a year and have tried all of the apps (Obsidian, Notion, pen and paper, etc.) but I still haven’t found a good system for using it. I always feel like it’s either too much information or too lit

Prison reform issues always make me feel so contrasted. On one hand, a lot of the people held there did awful things. The article mentions El Chapo, mobsters, drug dealers, etc. as some of the people held there. It's extremely hard to

I believe OP is asking about the training model data for Google Duplex (i.e. did Google record calls between two people for training data).

Google is very clearly all about the money as well. It's just that they understand there is no money that will come from the "customer". Instead, it will all come from other corporations that are seeking to leverage the relat

Eh, I feel like this is pretty bland. It should incorporate a dictionary attack database. For example, "password" should be considered way weaker than any combination of letters. I would look at https://howsecureismypas

I wish click bait was more well defined. In this case, I feel the original title summarizes the entire claim made in the article. Using the title "Claims made by..." sounds like it'll be an article summarizing the claims made

That's actually not true in terms of the GDPR. A company, simply, only needs to have an EU citizen as a customer for the company to be regulated by the GDPR. [1] [1] https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil&#

This bothers me a lot as well. The EU shouldn't have domain over American companies. There's a reason that there isn't a ton of Tech companies in places like Germany.

Can't that be a violation in the eyes of GDPR? If they don't give users a simple button, then can't that be argued to be not giving the user the ability to export data. The problem I have with GDPR is that there's so muc

That really is some great insight into entrepreneurship. I have that same problem of wanting everything to be perfect before showing it to anyone.

He honestly isn't wrong. People use Google and Facebook everyday for free in exchange for their privacy and they are ok with that. You can ask most people and they'll say they didn't really care about Snowden's leaks. Th

I just don't get it. I don't get the enormous backlash over this. Users give away their data to a company, the company sells that data to advertisers (or sells ads and targets the ads according to data), and the users can continue

Thanks for coming back and sharing your success! It's very inspiring for me. I just graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree and debating going back for a CSE Bachelor's degree but unsure if it would be worth it.

I get that it's hard to pass up on the money. Once you take it though it's hard to not look hypocritical. Especially since he gave them a large amount of the data that was abused.

Wow! I love this idea. Congratulations! One question I have is what are you doing with the textbook pictures? Also, does the user categorize where the pictures came from so other people studying the same text can have additional questions?

Yea, there just seems to be so many things that aren't adding up yet. The news footage also showed a damaged bicycle but there is not mention of a cyclist in the article. I hope they release footage soon.

It seems like the article can be boiled down to 2 points. 1.) Deficit increasing projects (Infrastructure the main example) should be conserved for when the economy is weak so the Government can use it as a way to introduce money into the e

Thank you for sharing your experiences with Backblaze. I've been debating which cloud back up service to go with and your comment has started to sway me away from Backblaze. It is also disconcerting to see the employee from Backblaze o

A pact like that would only benefit the city with most incentives that are not tax related. Giving businesses tax incentives is a great way for smaller cities to get their foot in the door. Also, tax incentives is a common tactic by cities

Honest question. I'm unsure what the danger is in letting these companies acquire data on us. We get a lot of benefit from using their products for free. Why should I care about giving my data to them as a cost of admission?
