They could be pointing it mostly at the table (<45° angle) and you'd still be in frame without realizing.

Sounds like a joke but Bing is actually trying this.

I think the difference is if Chrome had to stand on its own, it would be even more incentivized to drive traffic to Google for revenue at the expense of user experience.

Did Snapchat's have really good audio quality that doesn't disturb the people around you? Pair that with modern AI assistant breakthroughs and it starts to seem pretty compelling. They also look way less dorky than Snapchat's

I mean, the light makes it VERY apparent when it's recording or taking a picture. Would you be just as uncomfortable eating lunch with someone who had their phone in their hand? It'd be much easier to surreptitiously record/p

>High quality content is not a concern for Facebook [Citation needed] I'd say it's a huge concern due to its strong correlation with increased usage and thus ad revenue.

Not necessarily, but if it gets xrayed going through security then when they heat it up so that it luminesces, it'll be so bright that it messes up their carefully calibrated detector. This is expensive to fix and the dosimetry people

potential solution: keep a few intentional typos in your passphrases. It also makes dictionary attacks much harder.

I know nothing about this keyboard, but I'd assume it just has one solenoid because the expense and space of 100+ solenoids is impractical if all you're using them for is simulating the vibration/sound of a typewriter.

You forgot the literal billionaire cage match that Musk tried to initiate but then backed out of when it seemed like Zuck wasn't afraid to fight him. Seemed like everyone was talking about it for a couple of days…

That would make it harder by increasing the noise, but the signal is still there. Unless the receiving (target) phone knows the location of each of the senders, it won't be able to vary the delays in a way that perfectly cancels out th

That's a fantastic analogy for how incredibly wasteful Bitcoin & similar cryptocurrencies are just to maintain a steady state!

People picking through trash beats recyclables going to the landfill. (assuming the trash-pickers don't pull trash out of the can and throw it on the ground in their haste to find recyclables, anyway) So from that perspective, I'm

Yeah, if you watch the supplemental videos they mention that the patient had a partial injury and after 7 years of physical therapy was still unable to walk independently. After getting this implant and doing 6 months of PT, the patient was

I feel like $500k wouldn't come close to paying for the two years of research that went into this report.

On a related note, exploiting security vulnerabilities is often non-deterministic. There might be thousands of errors or process crashes before the exploit is successful, and if at least some of those get reported to your telemetry servers

Humans are narrative creatures. We literally think in stories, so it's not surprising to me that homeless people have a sad story that explains their homelessness. We all tell ourselves stories (whether true or not) to process our acti

I think pay is one part of the problem of attracting the best teachers. Potentially an even bigger problem is just how much of the curriculum is dictated by fiat. We require them to get a Masters degree but then give them almost no autonomy

There's some point where the robot is realistic enough that it's functionally no different than a nanny. I agree it would be dystopian as hell if the kid was just raised by the robot, but giving the parents a bit more sleep and an

From what I've heard, yes they size their Y1 and Y2 cash bonuses such that your TC will be stable over the first 4 years as long as AMZN stock goes up 15%/year. eg one of the first Google results for "teamblind Amazon offer e

True, but misleading. Amazon gives big cash bonuses to new hires in years 1 and 2 in order to compensate for the back-weighted vesting schedule.

I led with the spam hypothetical because I think it seems (from my perspective) to be inevitable and doesn't depend on us sharing the same (rather American) axioms around free speech.

I think people should be free to make spaces where they exclude some things as off-topic, flamebait, trolling, etc. eg If I want to run a forum about woodworking then I should be free to remove posts about abortion, guns, CRT, or whatever p
