Any comments about Encrypt.me as a NordVPN alternative? It looks much more reliable. (from their website; the team's CV's; etc -> i.e.: no hard evidence)

I'd never downvote an unpopular comment just because it's unpopular - as long as it is backed by arguments. So, not down-voted, but I do disagree. Not all disease is a choice. It's not true that surviving, say cancer, is simp

This may be the best way to get a negative result published: as a retraction of the published reversed-positive findings!

Half of that must be me :-) This is so cool I watched it over and over again. Hope you'll be able to release the source - or otherwise a binary to play with. Would love to try this out on 3D rendered human anatomy from CT scans. Cinema

I certainly agree to your comment on that "if". Up to now there has been a lot of talk and very little actual action. Although I don't think that it's because of conservative protective resistance - at least not in acade

It will indeed radically change; and radiologists not-using-AI will be replaced by those who do. However the profession itself will only increase in influence as the radiologists become more and more clinically involved. If they take on the

Dermatologists and radiologists will not be replaced by AI any time soon - for precisely these reasons. Geoffrey Hinton personally saying "we should stop training radiologists" just reflects a complete lack of understanding about

I don't agree that doing one right thing (reporting on corruption) somehow makes it okay to do a wrong thing (not taking responsibility for the trackers you're exposing your visitors to). The fact that it pays for 99% of your fixe

Saw the title - had "clickbait" all over it - checked the comments first, and sure enough the second comment confirmed the suspicion. Gotta love HN.

Fact check: 1. This was not published in The Lancet (a prestigious medical journal) but in the Lancet Digital Health a similar sounding spin-off journal without an impact factor that uses a pay to publish model (pay around $5000 and you get

How I wish I had the time to do these kind of projects... I have a wife and two daughters - that I absolutely adore - but I so crave the times when I could sit down and spend 9 hours coding. So count me envious, of your skills and freedom.

Last I heard (see source) is that they can bypass the pinlock delay, making brute-force entry much more efficient. If you use a numeric pincode, even if 8 digits, "breaking the encryption" is well within their reach. If you use a

Incidently that movie is brilliant. Graphic but briljant. And has nothing whatsoever to do with bezier curves; thus completely off topic, so I will leave it at that. (but briljant :-)

It’s honest answers like this that make HN great. Maybe start working on a game you would like to play as side project; if your personal situation allows for that kind of freedom.

Working for any company writing code with the purpose of violating the privacy of your users, is ethically questionable indeed. So they are certainly engineers at Facebook doing very questionable things - but not all of them. In general: t
