This article isn't targeted at a US residents, but your comment seems to imply it should use Fahrenheit.

+1, I want to see the input, and all edits made. Also, there is no evidence that this was actually generated by GPT-3. It sounds weird, but people have faked weirder stuff and disseminated it on Hacker News to get some sort of virality &#x2

Let's add some competitive pressure: start forking projects that don't support it.

Social media is full of videos and images (instead of text) because that's what our dopamine receptors want. The reality is, if Facebook started showing less videos, more people would move to TikTok. I think, as a society, we should ac

Can you imagine the Department of Justice declaring Twitter to be no longer protected under section 230, after flagging Trump's tweets? This feels so, so wrong.

The web itself has transformed from a new frontier where people generally have good intentions, to a digital society undergoing active fraud, sabotage, and influence by commercial entities, governments, and wider society.

Any large corporation needs to eliminate the bus factor of individual contributors (those who don't pay the management and politics game). You can't have an universally respected engineering legend contradict the board of director

Ledger is subject to European data retention law, and their backends are fully capable of recording how much cryptocurrency someone has.

Reset it with a change to the Core prefix. It used to be Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc until the current past decade. Name it something like "Intel Smart Core i3" with the introduction of little.BIG architecture. If those live up t

There is about zero chance of bitcoin moving to proof of stake. Something so fundamental about its SHA256(SHA256())) PoW structure just isn't going to get changed, unless there's a vulnerability in SHA256.

As a potential customer, scalability is definitely top of mind. If you can't scale a tech demo, then I'm not left with a good impression with a CDN which is supposed to handle millions of requests per second. It's not like Do

Clever idea but as things like your position and camera angle are floats, there are virtually infinite gamestates.

Note that the DoD Authorization only covers Zoom for public , not even FOUO, data. For sensitive data, only Cisco and Microsoft are allowed.

Good design can dramatically reduce, if not eliminate, most human vulnerabilities. For example, phishing sites would be radically less effective if passwords are not a thing, and everyone logged in using hardware keys (e.g. Yubikeys) which

Apple should be officially supporting this project and turn it into an independent, but full-time gig. If the maintainers decline, Apple should hire someone to manage their own.

The contact importer should not be turning up deleted Facebook accounts, so it seems like Facebook was keeping data on you even after you deleted your account. If you are an EU resident, this can be a GDPR violation so you should follow up.

Facebook has some of the worst and most disgusting ethics in tech. I feel repulsed that they are in the same industry I work in.

When the subject of your blog post is about your personal life experience, I think that opens you up for public examination. It's not like GP is going around critiquing random HN commentators, or even random public figures.

+1. I get to be aggressive and do a 100% stocks allocation. Heck, I can even do sensible (I'm talking 1.25x-1.33x) levels of leverage. I get to invest in crypto. I get to borrow a fairly expensive mortgage. Etc. Let's see where I

Well yeah, the comment still applies. GeForce is made for gaming, so the bill of materials goes to what improves gaming performance.

For gaming (which these cards are sold and marketed to), it doesn't make a difference today.

You can set a lower limit on the 3090 to be say 250W or even 200W. Performance will suffer, but you'll have full access to VRAM and it'll be quieter.

The power delivery part is cheap; it's the chips and memory that's expensive. There's a reason why monitors aren't sold as two parts: the display itself and the power circuitry.

No, I can assure you that Linode, OVH, DO are making money per G at 1TB per $5. Cloud providers are expensive because they want vendor lock in. They want to make it artificially cheaper to use their own services (elasticsearch, etc) over so

Nope. Actually, there was a paper published recently on using a phone's gyro / accelerometer (through the HTML5 APIs) in order to keylog users; because the API is precise enough for you to detect subtle motion of the phone as you
