Nitrogen is pretty close to air, which is already 80% nitrogen. The gain would be minimal. As for vacuum, it's harder to maintain, and wouldn't work anyway : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11593997

An aim bot doesn't have to play all the game for you, it doesn't need to think. I don't know how it is currently as I haven't played FPS games in a while, but back in the day, there were aim bots that would just activate

There are some things computers are really good at and that human beings also enjoy doing. Computers are insanely fast, yet plenty of reflex-based games exist. A lot of high-level competitive games have a dexterity dimension. FPS games for

Even all that still doesn't stop a very old type of cheats: aim bots. Even if the server only sends you information about enemies the instant they pop out, a computer will be faster and more precise to aim and shoot at this enemy than

Concise article, good examples. Doesn't go very much in depth after exposing the problematic examples, but recommended read.

It's not open-source, so you're essentially trusting a binary install with auto-updates. I was fine with it until now, not sure I will be if the sale goes through.

Opera actually had an integrated blocker years ago in their previous engine. However, they scrapped most of the functionalities when they switched to Blink in 2013.

It's a different threat model to your other examples though. The pizza guy, the driver, the lady down the street, unless they know you and have something against you, they would want to target you with no apparent motive in your exampl

This looks amazing. I was using a tool one of my friends made, with a similar idea, just put images and videos in directories and have a script automatically generate a nice output. It can be found at https://github.com/jlai

Good article. However, I disagree with his interpretation of Dunning and Kruger's figures. There is limited data in those figures of course (3 sets with 12 points of data and 1 set with 8 points), and I don't know how big the actu
