I'm no where near a subject matter expert, but I thought there was a mild correlation within humans? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_and_intelligence#... I take your point on ravens and chimps, but sure

In my suggested world, you are free not to install it. If you distrust them enough to think that they'll change their policy to be more invasive, don't install it. Personally, I'd rather have the detection happen on my phone

But they don't want to. They want to keep the content encrypted on their infrastructure to reduce the risk of leaking it. They only decrypt it with a court order.

There is an easy way for Apple to handle this. During iPhone setup present the following screen: "We here at Apple do not want our servers to host images of exploited children, but we also respect your privacy. So you're free to u

When I wanted to work from the University of Toronto I got an "Outside Researcher" card that let me use their libraries and get access to all their papers too! It was the cheapest desk you could rent in Toronto. Something like $10

They needed money in order to compete with Google and Facebook, so they switched the model to "investors make a maximum of 10x return and after that they lose their stake" or something like that. As for being open, I think keeping

Don't worry about the haters. You needed a paltry amount of data and you got it with the tools you had and knew. When I was analyzing Wikipedia about 10 years ago for fun and, later, actual profit. I did the responsible thing and downl

Fun story about this. I know one of the former guys at Xobni back in the day when it was still a thing. They had made an enterprise version that was sold to companies like Apple, Intel, etc. But even though the enterprise software no longer

I worked for a couple of months from Cyprus with a team that stretched from Pacific to Eastern time. For one project where I was able to build features on my own with minimal coordination it was great. For two other projects it sucked. If t

My host OS takes about a second or two to boot and my VM OS takes about 5 seconds. A whole minute would drive me insane. We should not be waiting this long for computers to turn on.

I'm not sure that we're measuring productivity correctly these days. Take AI, for example. Going from barely being able to play chess, to winning at Starcraft and Go and basically any game Google thinks is worth cracking is a huge

I largely agree with you, but I just wish regulators would start by only allowing these assist programs for people that are already known to be poor drivers. The elderly and convicted drunk drivers, for example. That way we could have the b

Can someone please explain to me how just 75 thousand warfighters are able to take over a country with a population larger than Canada? Is it a question of arms? If so, why didn't we arm them before leaving? Because the only conclusion

Yeah we had this at my private religious high school in Canada as part of civics class. It didn't really have a right or left bend, it focussed on critical thought, sourcing (anonymous sources vs named, credentialed source), fact verif

I was told by a military intelligence dude that airstrikes are mostly laser guided by ground based special forces when it comes to anti-insurgency stuff. The satellite imagery is just too inaccurate for small targets that shift around.

I still don't see a citation, and I'm not exactly about to google for one and click around.

I'm 60% you're joking, but on the chance you're not. You couldn't keep Reddit going with 10x that team. Just the tooling around keeping up with GDPR regulations and Trust & Safety alone could easily eat $10m a year.

It will never cease to amaze me that someone with the technical chops to pull off an attack worth this much hasn't done the minimum pre-work necessary to get away with the cash or at least some non-trivial amount of it.

I had a highly upvoted comment about this whole thing a couple of days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28069528 I have come to one more nuance about the viewpoint. If people are spreading CP by signing into the sa

Even when people propose this type of dividend it still doesn't usually work because the people that live in the cities already vote for the measures to curb climate change while the people that live in the sticks aren't going to

I've been saying this for years, but I finally get why "Just. Tax. It." doesn't work. The voters. They turn out in droves when it comes to taxes on something as visible as the price they pay at the pump or when it comes

I agree with almost all of these viewpoints. The comment one though isn't quite right. Sometimes you just need a comment. For example, I was writing some code to an API and the company was offering a private experimental feature. The A

You were downvoted unjustly. I think your opinion is mostly valid, but I think people undervalue simplicity because they underestimate knock-on effects of their decisions.

I know. I know. It's bananas. People keep making time more and more complicated. Different kinds of smears, changes in the dates of daylight savings times, timezone shapes influenced by geography instead of the amount of light.

I'm the person you're responding to, and I think so? My contract was on data that wasn't surveilled, it was willingly supplied in bad faith. Fake names, etc. And there was cause / outside evidence to look into it. I can&

I'm really conflicted about this. For context, I deeply hate the abuse of children and I've worked on a contract before that landed 12 human traffickers in custody that were smuggling sex slaves across boarders. I didn't need
