It's essentially a mandatory backdoor. It means that Google has the capability to modify application code, and there's no longer a mitigation for this attack vector available to developers. Hypothetically, Google might be compelle

I'm dismayed that Google wasn't forced to revert the decision to block new apps from using their own signing keys[1]. That's far more problematic than the so-called "scare screens". 1: https://www.xda-dev

The idea of a decentralized storage grid sounds really cool. Instead of only relying on large centralized batteries, power companies would effectively rent capacity from their customers. Imagine software that could run on EVs, Powerwall-typ

It sounds like bandwidth is somewhat analogous to the way MHz/GHz used to be treated.

I use ffmpeg all the time, so this change is much appreciated. Well not really that often, but when I do encode video/audio it's generally with ffmpeg.

If you're going to nitpick my comment, you should do it correctly. Inflating reported hours isn't the same thing as increasing an hourly rate. There's zero ambiguity there.

Unless by 3x multiplier you mean, "tell them I charge X USD per hour and then when the time comes even though I only worked 13 hours in a given week I'll claim to have worked 39", in which case that's, you know, fraud.

By the same logic, why shouldn't lawyers and other high-skill hourly workers add a 3x multiplier to their reported hours? After all, as long as they do the work, their clients won't know the difference. Unless you're actively

It would also be a lot more useful if it included all carbohydrates, particularly categorized by glycemic index.

Looks like I've got a bunch too, including several posts that I'd actually upvoted. Related issue: it's too easy to accidentally mix up the upvote and downvote actions, because the buttons are close together and the visual fe

Selective pressure doesn't need to be perfectly foolproof to be valid. Humans are pretty observant, and have decent odds of noticing over time when particular things correlate with health problems. A plant known to cause health problem

It is, but IIRC for a nonsensical reason. They're lumping it in with a completely unrelated sweetener, erythritol, because some products on the market combine the two sweeteners. Using pure stevia is completely safe, as far as any rese

I had the exact same thought when I saw that headline. It would also be a way for Google to finally break into social media, and maybe it would be useful as a source of AI training data.

Not really sure what you're getting at. The devices we're discussing are cheap, not free.

I can't help but think that some sort of regulation here is overdue. You shouldn't need above average technical literacy just to avoid buying a product that actively and intentionally harms you. The current status quo actually sti

What would be great is the same feature for rescheduling. Sometimes a meeting is important and shouldn't be cancelled, but the scheduled day/time ends up being inconvenient for one reason or another. Not inconvenient enough to jus

If you're talking about a five-figure UBI, I don't think that would be simpler to pass through Congress. In terms of legislative complexity, I can't see how closing all major corporate tax loopholes would be simpler than impl

Here's an idea: a UBI that's pegged to GDP and population. Make it comically small to start, like say 0.25% of GDP split evenly between all citizens. Based on 2021 US stats, that's $176 per person per year. That seems relativ

Sure, why not? If you could earn more money and produce more value to society with the same amount of labor, and the legal/regulatory environment supported it, I wouldn't see a reason not to. If you had a solo contracting business

On the other hand, why shouldn't voice actors benefit from this tech? I can easily imagine a future where AI-generated impersonations are deemed by courts or new legislation to be protected by personality rights. In that world, voice

I think their point is that GPT is less of a search engine replacement and more of a reddit/Quora replacement. You wouldn't use reddit to ask for straightforward facts that are easily referenced from an official source, if they&#x

lol, well I was erring on the side of caution because she's clearly doing something wrong here. That being said, in my experience, 5 - 10 minutes is about right unless I go out of my way to preheat at a higher temperature.
