Wow, that businessinsider site is the worst I've seen in a while, and that's something considering TechCrunch (Oath family) is pestering Europeans with disgustingly non compliant GDPR popups.

Not convinced, as following the links in GP leads to some sub par (as in the end user experience) home grown solutions. Further, we are not exactly talking rocket surgery here, this is an extension anyone can install with a few clicks and

So what's been stopping moz://a for the last few years from integrating ~ubo into the browser like it did with Pocket?

My thoughts exactly. I really hoped there was something I missed about Brave, but it seems they are worse than I thought. Not just position itself as the middleman to take a cut from ad revenue, but trying to profile the users as well? All

It's an unbreakable circle. Surely there are referendums before pitchforks to change the election process? A single voting that needs to succeed.

I've been looking to experiment with browser mining solutions recently but the offerings are really lacking imo. It seems to be a simple problem (let users mine in exchange for virtual goods ~proportional to the solved hashes) but bar

So, what is the killer app of faas? To my layman understanding the selling point is easy scale-ability, but it seems to be inherently at odds with serverless being the most expensive computing model?

Indeed, but I'm less interested in finding what should be the right salary for a particular role at a particular company than actually addressing the disparities.

What is so absurd about getting the same payment for the same job? In fact, there are plenty of legislation that underpins this very concept for various groups of people, overseas workers not being one of them, so? I don't really buy t

Sorry, it seems I lost it. It was nothing fancy at all though, I simply piped youtube-dl to sox, cut up the original audio on 'silence' (some tweaking the thresholds for what is considered silence was necessary) then concatenated

ASMR is probably pretty well suited to ML. I had a sox one liner generating ~infinite content from [no talking] ASMR videos, which worked surprisingly well with some post processing in audacity. I would guess today some services could synth

Indeed, consider this submission history for example https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=MiriamWeiner As noted, it is not against the guidelines though. Personally, I just flag them.

Sure, if they are compensated for their extra work in some way. Otherwise it is just free work, one could even say it is unprofessional . Forcing someone to work overtime against their will is still a big no-no even in most hostile work en

What is so hard about saying no to overtime? Just turn off the computer and go home.

Why do people do that? Selling their findings for chump change, possibly very serious vulnerabilities highly paid architects missed? Obviously they want to do The Right Thing, but they are very much in a position to negotiate.

It is a money problem obviously.

I did not examine the claims in detail, but a few sport teams announced they will use a kit made from recovered ocean plastics. Probably worth looking into it? [1] http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/the-toe-poke/6

OTOH never rule out how KISS is the enemy of billable hours and don't underestimate CDD's ability (consultability driven development) to come up with solutions to non problems. YMMV, the BDD implementations I've seen so far d

The mined materials worth something perhaps? Also, the article only says the project is privately funded, fares could be subsidized?

Probably can't. You can try obfuscating your behavior with services like Adnauseam or Noiszy?

Google abuses its position plenty and was found to be guilty in court multiple times. There are endless examples of shady practices on Google's part, the obvious elephant in the room is ignoring the GDPR.

Voting is merely one way to elect (any kind of) representatives and indeed, the problems mentioned in the gp are inherent to it. Consider how drawing a lot is probably more fair and less prone to manipulation [1] [1] https://en.w
