Thanks for the reply! What's expecting one. Since you might have you delete the reply anyway, can I get a candid answer on why hardware 2FA tokens weren't a part of the default workflow before the incident? Was it concerns about t

Maybe it’s just me, but I am really skeptical about the DeepFake part - it’s a theoretically possible attack vector, but the only evidence they possibly could have to support this statement would be the employees testimony. Targeting a part

Assuming that there is a fixed cost associated with the mini production line, and assuming they sales and service based revenue from mini users isn’t a lot, it doesn’t make financial sense to have the mini line. Also, where exactly are the

From what I've seen, the point is to convince an acquaintance or alumni (even if you didn't explicitly know them) to give you referral so that they can get ahead of the online application madness. Happens quite frequently, checkou

It's not a caste thing, let's not make everything a caste thing. I've got similar messages from many Asians in general. It's based on a bunch of blogs/influencers asking folks to always reach out to someone in a com

A lot of discussion about caste system in California came up after the Cisco discrimination law-suit by the California civil rights department accusing two supervisors and Cisco of discriminating based on caste. It's important to note

You seem to be acting with a malicious intent here, trying to attribute the success of Indian immigrants to them exploiting others in India? In your flagged comment, you mention "migrants are almost all Brahmin elite who amassed their

You claim that there are plenty of other ways to support a video streaming platform yet fail to mention even one of them. Things cost money. Every monetizing strategy involves users paying for it or the company making money from the users i

Abacus always seemed to me like a 'we got a lot of VC money with inflated claims now we gotta show we do everything' company. I don't really understand what they do, they seem to offer everything but I don't see anyone t

Some of Cruise and Waymo cars have drivers in them, but based on my personal experience and what I've been hearing from friends, they see a lot more Cruise with drivers than Waymos these days. Not sure if this particular car had a driv

Looking over the incidents in the last few months, it's pretty clear that Waymo is significantly better than Cruise in tech - Cruise has a lot of things to fix and they clearly rushed it but have good PR team to sell it well and make i

If a Google Search result shows your personal email address, phone number, or home address, you can request to remove it from the Search page. I've made some requests and it's basically impossible to find my phone number and addre

I might be missing something obvious, but I am not sure why everyone in the comments think it's a big deal. I've seen this trick in practice multiple times. For example, see this snippet from an old Google repo: https:/&#x2F

Do you know why they left Google’s PaLM 0-shot and 1-shot results blank in the TriviaQA benchmarks? It’s not because Google didn’t release this data; they did in the same table as other data. It’s because PaLM significantly outperforms them

It's not like Waymo/Uber can roll in with autonomous taxis in every city just because Uber figured out the local regulation - many cities would have explicit regulation for anything driverless. I think it's the later point -
