I really don't have a dog in this fight -- never heard the podcast, don't use Spotify, but, the person who wrote this article (or at least this title) should be embarrassed. The insinuation that the two events are correlated is ju

Well you can't. The best you can do is buy a license to use a vowel up to three times in the present game. Any subsequent value usage must be repurchased. No trading of vowels.

Pretty sure the font URL is a static link that doesn't require an "API key"

Shhh don't tell them, let them stay unambitious. It makes it easier for the rest of us.

Was there a title edit or something? Why are people talking about FSD? This seems to be about autopilot

If that industry is farming or construction or heck, even Tv manufacturing and HVAC, then what? Should we go back to living like it's 1789?

But what happens when all the phone companies go out of business because of this?

Thank you for breaking this down. Just because we see a stack of bananas at whole foods, doesn't mean that it was easy to produce

Second for messenger kids. All the other solutions aren't built with the idea of under 13s using their service. Messenger kids allows kids to chat with the people they know irl while preventing them from slipping out and chatting with

Facebook has all the information any willing police officer/DA would need to capture the thieves. All they would need to do is go to a judge and ask. Also the legislature could make laws to make it easier to send bike thieves to jail.

Same, it didn't really take as much as I thought it would to get it to stop showing me reshares, but now I see either groups content or family/friends original content. I still wish they had fine grain controls though.

They could...maybe try rubbing two brain cells together in order to come up with a better, higher performing ad product. Nah, they find sticking to the 90's punch the monkey style ads and blaming FB and Google for "coopting"

Europe may not be able to compete, but at least they get 4 months mandatory vacation a year and 5 years of paternity leave.

These days with consumer desktops coming with 96GB of ram, I would say that instead of risking your OS doing something...suboptimal with swap, just get more ram. Call it an early Christmas/Birthday gift, and be done with it. Life is to

Yeah, I'm the same way. When I see my friends doing well, I'm _happy_ for them, not envious.

It seems like this is their plan, but they will be forced to do it all locally. They are deleting all their face templates so that people can't accuse them of doing it remotely.

You got the algorithm backwards, if slownews45 uploads a pic, the system gathers all of their friends who opted in and compares any found faces to the templates of the opted in folks. If it doesn't get a hit, it simply moves on

by bryan_w 5y ago
Yeah, I could see Illinois saying that scanning a picture for only opt-in templates is still "scanning" people who haven't opted in because it does face detection and FB not wanting to take it to the Supreme Court.
