I doubt it. So far Denuvo's claims to prevent emulation are just that, claims. Even if they do, people have an unlimited amount of time to work on bypassing it.

Every day is a good day to maintain a personal media archive. They can take it off Disney+ but they can't take it off my hard drive.

I discover new books by looking at the websites of publishers of books I already like or by word of mouth. Goodreads seems like a place that doesn't make anyone's life better.

For me an acceptable false positive rate would be somewhere around one in a thousand. The actual false positive rate is one in twenty-five or greater, despite the justice system spending more money ($1.26 million) per executed prisoner than

I wonder if AI is soon going to be able to pull off the multimedia future I dreamed about as a kid, where no image is just an image, no video is just a video, no text is just text.

This is a great reminder that Gmail ignores dots on the left side of the @ symbol, which means I am constantly getting e-mail for other people. Which can create problems with services who don't consider them the same. A decade or so

I would love to play Zelda, but I am not going to buy a console just because of one game I'd pay a thousand dollars cash right now to be able to play Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom over for the first time. It's wort

It can't be a dark pattern without trying to trick the user. A popup saying "sign up for our blah-blah!" is not a dark pattern.

All you have to do is scroll down a bit and then scroll back up, and the modal remains off-screen below the bottom. Or just tap "continue reading" to dismiss it like a normal person.

Remember when you got really excited for new Windows releases? Remember when Windows asked politely to activate automatic updates and assured you "No information is collected that can be used to identify you or contact you"? http

The numbers I've seen do not support your position. If your opinion is based on evidence, show me that evidence. I'm willing to change my mind, but not based simply on "trust me bro".

the healthcare I had access to in the US was far better than the healthcare I had access to in New Zealand (or anywhere else), regardless of how much I was willing to pay. Can you back that up with data?

The maternal mortality rate for the US is 4.7 times higher than New Zealand's. The infant mortality rate is 61% higher.

The quality of care you did receive in those countries may have been lesser, but what could you have gotten if you paid as much there as you pay in the US?

I'm not saying there's a better alternative. I'm just saying seeing those types of cracks in cast parts scares the shit out of me. That's the kind of stuff you see after decades of rust damage.

Cast parts are more brittle than forged parts. Once the cracks are visible you've already lost a great deal of strength. I wouldn't ride in this car.

You'd have to compare the machine's performance to real human performance. I suspect humans also have an uneven detection rate between those categories.

But it’s impossible to prove the existence of a proto-human language—the hypothetical direct ancestor of every language in the world. Maybe not in the bulletproof sense, but it seems pretty obvious that since human beings raised without l

It might be the new globally-used spelling but I don't think you can call anything with an umlaut the "English spelling". You have to use an alt+ code to even get the character from an English keyboard.

I think you're making a lot of assumptions about someone you've never met and know nothing about. It divides people into "primitive" and "civilized", which delineates an ingroup and outgroup; Right, in the co

Ignoring the depressingly-predictable classist/colonialist tone Isn't it an anti-classist tone if anything? It's associating "civilization" with weakness, confinement, and a lack of opportunity, and associating pr

They seem to think they're going to pull a Sci-Hub and just flout the law so long they start gaining mainstream acceptance. The problem with that is Sci-Hub is distributing material we the people already paid to create through taxes, s

I wonder if something productive could be done by expanding the options beyond "guilty" and "not guilty" because someone can be found guilty by a jury for almost any reason. Perhaps if there was a further status of &quot
