Really good videos on color spaces and gradients from Chrome Dev: https://youtu.be/cGyLHxn16pE https://youtu.be/Uh95jZPTDfw

Am employee is not a slave. You owe your employer the work for which they have hired you, and no more. These kinds of employee agreements should be illegal; what I do with my own time and resources is none of my employer's business.

We need software to tell us when we should be outraged by a tweet.

Why the hell isn't Google challenging these sweeping untargetted searches? This is akin to giving law enforcement all of our location data without reasonable suspicion.

It does seem he is conflating "progress" with "investment". Yes, the world is spending exponentially more compute each year since 2012 on training networks. The marvel is that neural architectures are scaling to more c

Felt about right for the complexity of the story and the thoroughness of the research. I think we should be encouraging long form journalism, not falling back to click-bait news.

Huh? The article title makes a claim of 8x speed up in disaster recovery through drone use, but the text of the article says the government has restricted all civilian drone use for a month in the Houston area (to deconflict with military

Take the report with a grain of salt. It appears to be sourced by an investment firm with an interest in selling real estate securities. There are no details given about how their sample of 10,000 renters was created; the data also seems

I can't imagine any scenario where this is not pilot error (unless you had a power failure of the airport lighting systems).

Making an aircraft go-around can never cause an accident - the missed approach path for any landing aircraft is always kept clear.

Controllers in the tower do not have a good visual perspective to see runway alignment. I don't think they would have caught this. At night, there are many visual cues to see the runway environment - it sounds to me like this complace

Or just ban the links from HN. Paywall articles have no business showing up on a site meant to engage in community discussion. There are plenty of other things for us to share.

Wow. Based on the number of responses here, we should start a club - "56 and still doing it". Those of us born around 1960 came of age during the earliest days of personal computing. I guess a lot of us got hooked and are still

Read more (page 2) - there is a considerable discussion of channel congestion and interference due to over powered zones and large number of devices.

Computing a collision today costs about $100K from my reading of the paper. So most uses of SHA1 are protecting documents of far lower value, and would not be likely attack targets (today).

One of great humans that will be missed by millions. It's a shock that he is no longer a part of our world.

Nice job. Nit - it would be nice not to use the term "signed" for a block that has a sufficiently small hash. The term "valid" is more commonly used for this attribute of a block, and less confusing with signed transact

Has anyone done the same thing for the patents? They won't be as readable, but I would assume there are far more disclosed inventions developed by the .NET teams than academic papers (and you'd have to search the USPTO database i

Libel does not require that the writer knows what he is saying is false (though doing so will increase the amount of damages you can collect). You can successfully sue for libel by only showing that the statements made against you were fal

I don't think people could easily adjust to having the date and day of the week change every day at, say 2pm (for those on PST).

Why doesn't bitly block obvious phishing domains - like ones that contain popular domains as a prefix?

Make the counties pay for the cost of sending their offenders to (state) prison and you'd see this "overconsumption" of an expensive resource self correct.
