There's a password on my Google account, I totally expect to have privacy for anything I didn't choose to share with other people. The hash is kind of metadata recorded by Google, I feel like Google using it to keep child porn off

Couldn't the annual valuations be gamed by insiders? Who's going to impartially decide the declared value? Best alternative I can think of is a soft fascism where the government receives a small stake in the company each year ins

I think the majority of the Scientific Linux software came from Fedora/Red Hat and the Linux kernel. Planning and managing the CERN computing infrastructure is a lot of work, then updating and releasing a famous distro on top of that

The cost of handling cards is more than the fees, obviously the machinery and network needed to use them costs something. It's always going to beat cash, but cash should always be available as a fallback for disaster situations and &q

Did the journalists publish or share the details that could harm witnesses or investigations? Our default assumption is that journalists keep these kind of details confidential and secure from spreading... more than the city did. I think t

I was thinking about LLMs hallucinating function names when writing programs, it's not a bad thing as long as it follows up and generates the code for each function name that isn't real yet. So hallucination is good for purely cre

What's even worse is Google could easily use the exact same automated checks and block the app before it gets onto Google Play, and then NOT ban the developer. What is the up-side of the status quo for Google or its customers?
