BitTorrent was one of the few things that once I understood how it worked, I realized I was looking at the product of true genius.

30% market correction will effectively wipe out many players in commercial real estate. Even less than that for many. Keep in mind, real estate is often highly levered so these property owners still have to pay a bank their money.

I don't think what the author did was illegal. This is more of an ethical consideration where consent should have been requested from contract owner before doing a known risky operation.

Did the author get permission for this attempted Good Samaritan deed? Or did he go out on his own and screw up the implementation without the contract owner's knowledge? If it's the latter, that's kind of a shit move.

Just threw some 'curveballs' at statsmuse and it held up pretty well. Good argument for restricting the domain as you say.

Great job compiling the datasets! For the Yale group, I like the goal of their research. If the system can only answer 70% of questions, but it's pretty sure it knows the answer when it claims it does, that can still be very useful in

I've done some previous digging into natural language SQL queries -- there's a good amount of research around this. But the error rate is always too high for useful production deployment and the systems I've looked at never

Any unofficial details on the business requirements Shopify looks for before approving apps? I'm working on an app and would like to avoid being blindsided.

I'm not personally religious but I'd be very careful before assuming religion, an institution that's been with humans for thousands of years, was a net negative. I think humans probably have some innate desire for institution

Plato was probably right. As access to information has become ubiquitous, we increasingly don't need to rely on our memories. Ancient scholars would be able to recite long passages from memory. The printing press made that unnecessa

I recognized this a couple years ago at a startup I work with. Comparing Google Analytics numbers to validated event logs, the numbers were off by ~20-30%. Surely there must be a quick workaround I thought, there's no way there'

The day is soon coming when your skill level at videogames will get you fast tracked for command in a real military. If there were a sufficiently open ended and realistic war game simulation (I can't think of one), DoD could give free

My two cents: I think this is a fantastic idea and I've wanted to see something like this for years. That said, this is one of those things where unfortunately the reputation of the persons behind FounderPool matter a lot to me, and o

Good. This should have been done an hour ago. Fortunately the attackers weren't nearly as malicious as they could have been.

This hack could absolutely get people killed. There are several tweets I can think of from POTUS that would begin immediate military mobilization from an unfriendly country.

Twitter should suspend the entire platform until they can credibly fix this and prevent it in the future. An attacker could drop AMZN stock by 10% in minutes with just the wrong tweet from Bezos.

I could imagine a faked tweet attributed to Trump that could immediately begin mobilization in other countries to prepare for war. There are several fake tweets from the Bezon/Musk I could imagine that could credibly send the stock pri

TikTok could have had hosting for cheaper from Alibaba, but now Google has an $800M incentive to keep TikTok alive in the U.S. Smart.

What are the options for publishing a live stream from the browser with no desktop app? I'm not talking about WebRTC P2P meeting limited to 10 participants, but a stream that could be published to 100,000+ people. I'm open to pa

Thank you! That's my goal this week to put together a current list of the co-sponsors on all bills aimed at restricting/ending qualified immunity.

While we're on this topic, managers don't invite your direct reports for one-on-one meeting out of the blue with no agenda. I've heard multiple people tell me they assume they're about to be fired.

If vote by mail is secure enough for Utah, Oregon, and citizens over the age of 65, it's secure enough for everyone.

I respect the privileged for speaking out. They are the ones that often can affect change and have their voices heard. A packaging employee at an Amazon warehouse quitting over principles isn't a blip on the radar. When the VP does

I don't understand why this is a semi-joke. It's a serious proposal for incentivizing the police union to police themselves. Police misconduct rarely has consequences that impact police themselves. This is a step in correcting
