If they ban a client for the content it can access, why don't they ban web browsers entirely ? Google Chrome allows access to illegal and hateful content too.

Imagine if LinkedIn was administered like Wikipedia : non-profit, and ultra-optimized to cost $0.007/active_monthly_user (vs ~1$ for FB) It's hard for successful founders to turn down a multi-million acquisition offer, but they sh

Had a similar problem recently. Ended up creating a custom system using a file-based index (append to files named by the first 5 char of the SHA1 of the key) Took 10 hours to parse my Terabyte. Uploaded it to Azure Blob storage, now I can q

Many have forgotten why we used cryptocurrencies in the first place. The original promise of cryptocurrency was to become independent from banks. In the end CoinBase (like every exchange) is a great product, but just a bank. It's centr

You're right, the compression step is mechanical. Heat pumps are the most carbon efficient after ~0°C. So in most parts of the globe electrical heat-pumps are the most environment-friendly. Thanks I Edited my first comment.

Heat pumps need energy to operate. Hence at low temperatures the best combo is electricity+heat-pump. So cryptomining+heat-pump is exactly the same, minus the e-waste.

In countries like France [1], electricity heating is the most environmentally friendly, at 40 g Co2/kWh, while gas (the cheapest and most common) is >250. [1] https://www.electricitymap.org/map

Just like dropshipping, it may be legal but is amoral to many people. And informing the general public is important.

As usual, some Googler browsing HN will reactivate his account, everyone will forget and Google won't change a thing to his unbanning process.

I hope they focused on the hand-tracking problem. AR is basically unusable without proper tracking, and it felt like most limiting thing using the MagicLeap1 and Hololens1/2.

Which is 3% of their total expenses that year. Considering how much exposure and grants conferences can bring to a non-profit, it seems fair.

The title implies research on Oumuamua was censored, which was never the case.

Apple booked 80% of TSMC's 5nm process for 2021, so I suppose Intel's volumes won't be astronomical. https://wccftech.com/apple-secured-80-tsmc-5nm-production-ca...

Awesome project! But please compress your images, it took me 2 minutes to load your website. Convert everything to <300kb progressive jpg and use svg for graphics.

Thanks for the tips! Marketing was clearly my weakness here. (Unfortunately scraping Amazon is forbidden in their ToS, I got banned from the affiliate program for it) Tech-wise you'd be surprised, the website is 90% static! It's s

That's an extreme mesure indeed, fact-checking political ads can be another solution, but FB won't do it either.

Twitter banned political ads this year, Facebook didn't. It was probably the most important social media policy of the year (with Trump's tweet warnings) The media may be biased by their history with FB, but they deserve an huge p

Historically, Silicon Valley was created from government contracts and subsidies, then the VCs joined the party. It's a chicken-egg problem, and Europe has no chicken nor eggs at the moment. But lots of grain and hay.
