I doubt intelligence agencies are limited by the same standards.

That's awesome. Wonder how hard it would be to do it steganographically and embed it in existing audio.

A lot of fingerprinting technologies use something called Difference of Gaussian (a type of bandpass filter). However, in practice you capture interest points across multiple bands (scale space). Basically what this means is that interest

Agreed. I would also add, I don't think frontend vs backend accurately describes how skillsets are clustered anymore -- especially with JavaScript's increasing ubiquity. I would cluster skillsets into: ops, development, and desig

Transfer learning is about the best we can do right now. Using a fully trained ResNet / XCeptionNet and then tacking on your own layers after the end is within reach to hobbyists with just a single GPU on their desktop. There's

I think the author misses the point that Docker is a standard and that is where the value is. The value is the ecosystem and tooling that is possible once people standardize. Most of the article reads like "Programming language X is T

Does this mean companies need to file 50 different state returns? How can any company other than a mega-corporation be expected to handle that level of bureaucracy? Even if their are firms that pop up to handle compliance it's probab

This is my point. Why is there a double standard against business owners? As an individual everyone agrees privacy is important. As soon as that same person is a business owner, then they don't have the same rights?

Many self-employed people use corporations as their chosen entity structure.

Why is it everyone's business? Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, and New Mexico are states and they all have varying degrees of privacy options for corporations by design. Only public companies should be required to be public IMO. So would yo

Privacy should be considered a right. Just because someone wants privacy doesn't make them guilty of money laundering. When there is a reasonable expectation of foul play, subpoenas are the appropriate route. A lot of damage can be do

Unix programs use it quite frequently. Photoshop requires multiple modifier keys, you can't get away with just a single modifier because there are too many keyboard shortcuts.

Agreed. It's too arbitrary. The pattern of addiction is the same. The method of delivery doesn't matter. In terms of marketing and supporting affected gamers, sure. But from a medical perspective, it's as arbitrary as cla

I understand and agree with part of your point, but there is also benefit to showing how they are all the same. Showing how this parallels the exact same dopamine addiction patterns as gambling, porn, and social media provides greater insig

This seems like it is approaching the problem from the wrong angle. This should be addressed at the government law level. The problem is where do you draw the line? Any technology can be used for evil. Do you next ask companies that sell

Saturn assembly programming (HP48 calculator) even had a concept of a "nibble". You had to chose which portion of the data you wanted to access. The CPU only supported working with 4 bits at a time.

I have both Mac and Windows 10 running simultaneously in my office at home and I keep getting Ctrl-W and Cmd-W confused when I try to close a browser tab. Maybe I'll get used to it eventually. I hope so.

Solid hardware review but I'm more interested in the software user experience. I'm wanting to transition away for Mac for Node / React development and professional photography. Unfortunately the lack of Unix and weird thing

And they literally changed the definition of literally to mean the exact opposite of literally. ;) When a word gets used incorrectly or conflated enough even official dictionaries will change. What's important is to understand the dist

You mean welfare taxes and welfare payouts? All of this seems like gross oversimplification and it worries me that it is so common. Words have definitions and meanings and when you conflate them you reduce your ability to understand and rea

A tax cut is not actually a government subsidy though. That is an oversimplification. A government subsidy is when public money is SPENT on a good or service to artificially encourage investment in it (or someone just has good lobbyists).

How are they the same? Building up savings and paying down your credit cards are the exact opposite of investing. If you have to pay more on your mortgage and credit cards then that's less you can put into the stock market and invest

Or the prior prior administration, or the prior prior prior administration. Or the result of economic policies from other nations, or any other countless factors.

Most economists would also say that rising interest rates discourage investment, incentivize saving, and reducing debt. So who can say really? That's kind of my point. So many interrelated factors. Impossible to isolate it to any 1

I think a combination of the 2 is warranted. I'd hate to see it entirely controlled by the government because they tend to be more likely to install backdoors while private companies would push back to protect their users. With 5G net

Agreed. Learn the basics first before doing anything advanced. At a minimum, know what trading "naked" means and don't do it unless you REALLY know what you are doing.

That's just one approach. There's no right or wrong answer. You can also find stocks that you don't think will move at all, or that will only trade within a narrow channel and design calendar trades around it.

Options greatly expand the universe of possibilities when it comes to investing in markets. You can make money if a stock goes up, if it goes down, and even if it doesn't go anywhere at all. Options can be used to increase leverage an
