The existing expectation of privacy assumes the capabilities of regular human beings. Humans cannot reasonably observe thousands of different locations simultaneously, 24/7, and remember of millions of faces. Machines can. An analogous

Here in Brazil, where something like HIPAA doesn't exist, doctors routinely send patient records over WhatsApp, 'because it's more convenient'. I feel like despite making some some things more cumbersome, strict rules fo

Payment processing services will most likely provide a solution to do this automatically. Charging credit cards is already pretty complicated, and they abstract it away already, so it would make sense for them to provide this as an addition

rpm and deb are tied to specific operating system distributions, and are also meant to install packages globally on a system. npm, on the other hand, is meant to be cross-platform and is primarily focused on installing dependencies on a per

Yes, which is why over time it has gotten progressively more difficult. I find some of the challenges to be almost impossible. (Also why Google started using yout session with them to bypass the captcha automatically, it would be too frustr

Yeah, that's a good point. I guess the ideal way to put it is that I didn't mean "decision" necessarily in a "free-will, non-deterministic" way but rather in a more computational sense (like branches of an &quo

These are two separate discussions, really: - Is the universe fully deterministic? We don't know the answer to that, and it's possible we might never know - Are the life decisions that I make correlated with my success? That one i

They are absurdly competent with CPU design. The A series chips are already matching or even surpassing the performance of lower tier Intel chips. Keep in mind these chips were first introduced IIRC in 2011 with the iPhone 4S, are designed

That might not be useful for most users, but could be useful for people in resource-constrained environments. I have a friend with a 2010 MacBook Pro, who is constantly monitoring resource usage as he edits photos etc, and has to close apps

These are excellent points. I come from a different cultural background than the US (from Brazil), so in principle I wouldn't be opposed to implementing roughly the same criteria currently applied to obtaining a driver's license t

To be fair, in the U.S. about the same number of people are killed by cars every year. Most people would generally consider cars to be safe. (About 60% of gun deaths are suicides, 30% are homicides, and only 10% are accidental. Unlike with

I really like the goals they picked, but wish "Native Look and feel" was also in there. I use Firefox as my primary browser on Windows, but on the Mac it still feels significantly non-native. For instance, we're still missing

You can combine SSAO with (very coarse) global illumination probes to achieve a very convincing effect. DOOM (2016) is a good example of this: http://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2016/09/09/doom-2016-gra.

While I understand your point, and think it's a valid privacy concern, the reasoning about leaking info on all of Google's users doesn't make sense. If I install a security camera in my room, I'm not leaking information

To be fair, this one looks significantly more production ready than all other attempts at a 'flying car' I've seen. It does seem like a compelling replacement for e.g. private jets or helicopters (and not specifically for car

From my understanding, the example posted is an unlikely degenerate case where the whole "web of trust" between you and another peer consists of three separate parallel paths.
