It's definitely fairly shady. For what it's worth, they seem to have deleted my account. I say "seems" because I don't recall receiving a confirmation email; my login eventually just stopped working. At any rate, de

I understand that some networks might require the compute power that you mention, but this just seems like an average CNN mapping images to Disney characters. And I don't have much experience on that front, but like qayxc said, this sh

"We don't store any of the images uploaded or generated. Once the toonification has finished running no images are kept on our systems." Sure, then don't hide an otherwise perfectly normal computer program under a random

Show that middle-aged, middle class American woman a modern national flight with people packed like god-trusting sardines who refuse to wear masks and I'm sure she'll be thrilled to fly Pan American.

I think you meant "morality" instead of "mortality", but I'll go with mortality anyway.

Not an expert in ADA, but after playing around with it for a while, I don't know why this language doesn't get more praise. It seems to solve a lot of the memory problems Rust solves, albeit in a different way. Its first-class arr

I think your cause-effect is backwards. Moderation at scale does not work, and a social network does not have to be the all-out-for-clicks disinformation machine that Facebook is. The company chooses to make it that way because it is opti

I would have liked somebody to sit down and explain this to me.

Something I have always failed to understand is why there are people who still work for this company. She states “I know that I have blood on my hands by now”; doesn't everyone who works there? At this point, it is well known by everyo

Amazing write-up, some really good kicks in there. The bloat in bureaucracy can be seen in the software itself too. Much of today's consumer software fundamentally performs the same function it did 20 years ago, yet it suffers from the

With the ubiquity of Web browsers today, it would be very disappointing and dangerous for a single corporation, and one whose business model is to exploit people's identities and online activity, to have that much control. Whether gove

Exactly what ffpip said. The TOR browser does much more than just run your traffic through TOR to counter website fingerpriting, and Google being an advertising company, I see a conflict of interest to provide you with the anonymity that th

I think the TOR browser does a lot more than just run a browser through TOR. It uses Firefox's built-in fingerprint counter-measures; it spoofs the user agent; it starts using specific window dimensions to counter resolution fingerprin

The TOR browser is based on Firefox, so this also affects them, right? A chrome-based TOR browser would be the biggest joke in the history of online rights. I have the impression that Mozilla, and all of us, are at a crossroads here. I real

I have made similar observations. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it is like one needs to frame a different mindset to face the new reality, and then despite the reality, that new mindset brings a certain peace with it. In

This comment has no ethical basis either. The relationship between Uber and its employees is described as a "perfectly reasonable contract between consenting adults", as if the employees were on equal grounds to make demands and t

This is bad when it comes to personal data, like the VPN provider that claimed not to be logging. Companies should spend every effort to secure people's data, and can face large fines in the event of a leak. In erasing the data, Meow i

Interesting. Since this is from BBC Earth I guess it's legit, but from my earlier understanding, painter elephants typically go through long processes of torture to "learn" how to paint things for tourists. I will skip linkin
