That is part of the basis for this whole exercise (that they're augmenting their moderation efforts via automated means).

I really wish they wouldn't overload terms that they themselves invented. In Chrome, "incognito" means we don't save your local history, but it does not add to the transport security. Here, "incognito" mean

Yep! I didn't address your other argument because I accept it and there's nothing about it I disagree with. I don't disagree with any of what you just said, either. I just wanted to point out that "streaming over web-tor

I had an internship some time ago with a Large Company, and the codebase I was working on was very enterprisey-Java. It was really painful in this regard: an huge number of different classes, many of which were alternatives to each other, a

There's a difference between an industry-wide proof of concept and a personal one. If I was making a text editor, I would begin by focusing on making a proof of concept that I could accomplish the features that I wanted in the way that

> That sounds like you prioritized implementing streaming first over being a good citizen. I read that as "it sounds like you prioritized getting a working proof-of-concept first over working out the long-term details".

It doesn't have to be. Onewayness says nothing about finding "the original x". If a function is one-way, it means that given y (a random n-bit string in the output space of h), it is hard to find any x such that h(x) = y. If

> Collision resistance implies onewayness for compressing hash functions. No it doesn't. These are independent properties. That is, collision resistance does not imply onewayness, and onewayness does not imply collision resistance

I don't think syscalls are strictly part of Computer Science. They're an implementation detail of how we have collectively decided to write operating systems. As such, they're far more relevant to software engineering or comp

This is wholly tangential to the thesis, but When Ronald Reagan was a radio announcer, he used to call baseball games by reading the terse descriptions that trickled in over the telegraph wire and were printed out on a paper tape. He would

This is an intriguing question. I remember reading research some years ago that concludes humans are incredibly bad at predicting how they would feel in a situation that they have never been in, and the accuracy of the prediction had zero

I think one of the beautiful things about this story is that it actually describes two contrasting points of view on the matter, and one of them is in agreement with you. The author spends far fewer words on her sister's perspective (w

I imagine you would support that by showing the larger shape while hiding the smaller one in the small icon, and showing the smaller shape while hiding the larger one in the large icon.

Interesting, thank you for explaining! Given that they're prefixed with //, why does the sequence get interpreted at all? IIRC "///[star]" does not open a block comment. EDIT: oh! That's what the

Oh, I don't know. On the one hand, part of me agrees with you. On the other hand, when someone tells me that they've optimized a compiler and it can now compile 3% faster I get really excited and pull their repo, I don't turn

I feel like this is one of those bugs that would have taken less time to fix than it took to document. You could even do something as trivial as "if Excel fails to open the file as SYLK, try again as CSV" and cut at least 99% of t

It isn't passive. See lines 64-73 of the code [1]. This seems very similar to what you describe, but rather than you pinging a bunch of places around the world, it has a bunch of places around the world essentially pinging you . If yo
