Clickbait title. It's as much superhuman as you can call pretty much anything done on computer and as it's admitted in previous to last paragraph in the article it doesn't even use reinforcement learning.

It would be interesting to know if the mother herself has and uses smartphone. If yes it seems like smartphones for me but not for thee, 14 year is too old to protect from harm of phone usage. It's not too different from fundamentalist

But it should be that most rare "benefical" mutations have at the same time drawbacks, otherwise they would be probably much more widespread. In this case the drawbacks are just not yet known.

>I'd have put PHP and C++ at the very top of the list, then reverse the whole list. I know what you probably meant, but if you put them at the very top of the list and then reverse it whole, they'll end up at the bottom again.

Not sure that many sponsors will be happy to keep sponsoring the content if they'll get "sponsored"(pretty much nofollow) link.

I can't see any reasonable threat model which makes an attacker on public wi-fi seeing someone accessing particular domain more dangerous than ISP or VPN provider seeing same.

Using a public Wi-Fi as an argument for VPN in a point of history when you can hardly find a site without https is getting ridiculous.

I would say that contemporary equivalent is data hoarding. There are people who have archives of various media, whether (audio)books, films, music, video games or programs in sizes of tens of TB or more. Of course they will never be able to

This. I find it quite shocking that in USA there are still offered useless jobs like Baggers. In Europe this job doesn't exist and no one misses it.

Major problem with "significance" is that in some areas of research (say psychology), it's possible to gather lots of data(let 1000 people fill complex questionnaire) and from that data to fish for theory that's signific

I always thought it was named after Mach number because of its speed. Being named after muck couldn't be farther from that.

You could argue that the ones that didn't develop the toxins don't mind getting eaten.

I have never switched to Chrome for similar reason. It doesn't allow tabs under address bar. That said in recent versions Firefox allows to do it only in rather complicated way by editing userChrome.css, but at least it's possible

Call me cynic and selfish, but I kinda like when people who don't care about their privacy essentially subsidise my browsing on websites that track their users. Now they will have even bigger incentive to invent new tracking mechanism.

Your German organic farm is most likely heavily subsidised (as all EU farms are) so it does in fact take advantage of same system which profits off the actions in Amazon. So you are just one more step removed.

Sometimes you don't know what you've been missing until you are shown. This is one of such things. Only thing that could possibly make it better is chapter on bloodstain pattern analysis.

You can blame traffic apps, but in reality it's just a democratization of knowledge. Locals already knew the best way to evade a traffic, now outsiders know it too.

This is very good remark. I saw Vsauce video about chimpanzees' photographic memory compared to normal human memory. Proposed explanation is cognitive tradeoff hypothesis - basically that while chimpanzees' memory is visual, human

Honestly I'm quite surprised that although this uses both Perl and goto it gets upvoted. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised by HN community.

Although it's advertisement for Twistlock, the problem is real and admittedly something I have ignored so far and will have to take into consideration in the future.

It's annoying how you keep assuming facts that you know nothing about. I happen to live in country where vaccinations are mandatory and parents have to go through significant trouble to avoid them. That incidentally means the chance of

No. Your assertion is wrong because it assumes where does given person live. I'm from country where are measles considered eradicated and there it's completely valid strategy. If you're from country where is 1 case of measles

That's hard to say, but both VirtualBox and VMware were hacked this year[1]. Definitely most secure would be both dedicated PC and running everything facing outside from VM. (and using SELinux or AppArmor as well). [1]: https:/&#

The propaganda obviously left traces on you, because eugenics weren't done just by Nazis. I assume what DC-3 was referring to, were forced sterilization which were being done in Nordic countries till seventies. For more info I would re
