Is medialab.ai that sketchy company that just throws ads on the things it buys then let's them rot? What are they hoping to get from this?

Is discord indexed by Google? I don't think it is. If this is the direction we're going anyways then at least having the ability to find discord messages from a search would be beneficial. I know that in recent years my primary in

The order covers exactly what it should: these are the outcomes we want, make them happen. It's silly to assert that an executive order from the president would lay out how all the different agencies in the government will adopt Zero T

FWIW: Early on California had a no leftover doses policy. But what do you do when you have more vaccines than eligible people? You lower the eligibility requirements. This probably wasn't official policy but it was required of vaccinat

I tried to set up PGP on a yubikey and use that for SSH encryption, email signing, and other things. In the end PGP made is so uncomfortable that I just stopped. PGP may be a secure piece of software (I don't know enough about this to

Seems like this guy exaggerated his story, got speaking engagements, a book deal, and a movie deal out of it. Now, Frito Lay doesn't want to completely shut him down because they're getting free marketing out of it. Yes they publi

I wonder what kind of ethics are involved in this kind of study. The recent linux kernel/UMN affair [1] has made me more aware of what can or should be considered human research. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/855479

It's funny, if an individual self reported that they'd shared classified documents to China they'd be in jail. A multi billion dollar company gets a slap on the wrist. Seems unfair.

In my opinion lo-fi is a different kind of music than traditional artist/album structure. It's not that I'm interested in a particular artist or album, I want to listen to a mood. Lofi provides that. I don't think that t

CORS is not the end all be all of security. You should have a reasonable CORS policy of course, but assume that you have malicious clients who disable it in their browser to see what your backend does or, even simpler, they just use get.

The attitude that this company (and many others) has towards the data they collect from billions of people is stunning. They claim that there was nothing they could do, even when one of their tools was misused to gather phone numbers. They

I think that this essay assumes the possibility of infinite growth. That runs into the reality that we are actively running into the limitations of our interactions with the natural world. What else is climate change but an indication that

If another provider will host them. Also, with a big enough service even if you are doing everything right in terms of cloud interoperability, just moving everything from one cloud to another can be a massive logistical challenge.

I find it amazing that a game that's so old doesn't have a dominating opening. I see no reason for that to be the case. Maybe it's just a matter of us not having the computational power to find such an opening and analyze it&

Whenever it comes to gaming I just assume anyone saying they've been banned unfairly deserved it. League, Dota, FPSs, and discord too apparently all have this weird group of people who get banned for doing shady shit then go on forums

This is accurate, not for me but for another person on my team. He struggled for years to get promoted because of a perceived lack of focus from upper management. In reality he was handling a big part of the TL's job and several other

I've absolutely noticed this. I generally don't remember what I read on HN, or in documentation. What I do remember is the fact that I've read it, and a vague sense of where, and hopefully a few keywords to type into Google.

It's possible that in the long term because Waymo doesn't need to pay drivers their overhead will be lower, which could mean lower prices for riders. Of course, Waymo cars have very expensive computers in them, and maintenance mig

We don't need a Hippocratic oath for engineers, we need it for management. It shouldn't be up to the individual engineer to guide the organization towards better morals, it should be upper management.

I disagree with the premise of this article. Sometimes using a mutable variable really is the simplest way to implement something: def min(foo: List[int]) -> Optional[int]: min = None for val in foo: if min is None or v
