Right. The point is: it absolutely does NOT measure what it claims to measure, i.e. truthfulness. You can detect indicators of stress... or hot weather... or stage-fright (admittedly a form of stress)... or too much caffeine... or an underl

Sure. Or it could just the kind of mistake that is being made all the time. I remember for example facebook taking itself offline[0], or cloudflare taking itself offline[1]. And of course pre-Musk twitter is well known itself to regularly h

Why would it be abuse if you just asked for the data to be deleted? As long as you do not misrepresent things and do so politely, of course. If Disney wants to spent time and money and reputation to figure out if they legally need to dele

Farmers have to put in constant work to generate revenue. "IP" revenue too often entails create-once-earn-forever. However, "IP" often has a higher upfront investment attached to it, and often is not (as) "scalable&

Exif itself defines three main times: DateTime, DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized. To add insult to injury, each has an additional SubsecTime* Then you have in the GPS tags: GPSTimeStamp, GPSDateStamp And those are just the common tags...

As others have mentioned, the time range of when the data was scraped seems to be end of 2021 to start of 2022, maybe into mid 2022. If correct, that was certainly before Elon Musk took over, probably even before he made his initial offer.

The problem with that is that the skipped data will still be present and therefore easy to recover if you know what you're looking for. That may "leak" seconds worth of video (and audio) the user may have thought was removed.

In my German circles, that spot has been covered by whatsapp for a long while now. It never has been instagram or anything else really. For me it went from studivz (long defunct German "facebook" for university students, didn&#x27

It sure can be a problem when people initialize stuff with nonsense to avoid running into nullable warnings. However, accidentally running into null pointer exceptions is still worse than people deliberately footgunning themselves with bad

I am not trying to comment on anything else here, but this: >>Minimum< 40 hour work week. 100% office work. Those are the norm for most fulltime people in most jobs. You know that, right? Right?

No, I didn't say that. And there it really becomes tricky, If they try to unilaterally change terms of the contract, they cannot do that. However, at the same time an employee is not entitled to dictate the direction of a company. I am

I wonder if this legally really is the case. Twitter seems to have asked "Do you still want to work here", giving an option to affirm. They didn't say "you have to go", they said "you may go if you do not like

Artists - just like inventors etc - should be compensated for their work, but in my humble opinion not in what has become now essentially perpetuity. So, an artist eeking out a living on something they worked hard on and released a month ag

Distribution can be figured out, same as it was for fossil fuels and as it was/will be for electric energy. It would be a chicken and egg problem, for sure, however hydrogen has some big pros over electric, in that you can fuel up quit

I'd say it's good enough. An adversary would need to know the file the secret is hidden inside, what method was used, probably would need the unaltered container file to compare with to extract the bits, and then has to overcome t

My guess is that when such high profile cancellations happen, it's more of a matter of perceived zugzwang. Some platform does a high profile ban, and then the PR inboxes of the other platforms are set ablaze with journalists asking for

Labor protection may help with keeping your current job. But they probably will not help with you advancing your career, and they will not help with your co-workers looking funny at you because somebody on the internet alleged you are a so-

There were many useful facts that I hadn't considered, to be honest, especially regarding what was counted (probbly print sales tracked by BookScan) and how (unique ISBNs). Also, whenever some party brings up stats to make some point,

They do have an agenda for sure. That wasn't the question, tho. The question was whether they condone or even encourage their users to target people with the goal of driving those people into suicide? This might be well the case. I am

Calling the AfD voter block "outright facists" is not helpful. Yeah, there is sadly plenty of people in there deserving of that description. And yeah, the danger the AfD poses should not be downplayed, nor should the danger of PEG

The http/2 stream is multiplexed over a regular tcp stream. At least some push HEADERS and data was most likely already send over the tcp stream, and is most likely already a few hops away from the actual server. By the time the server
