Other than open season on the users with malware out the wazoo. But who cares about security. Do you buy healthcare from the back of a pickup truck?

Sometimes with enough data and powerful enough computers you can brute force ideas that otherwise might take forever to examine. If you can identify the reasons why certain symptoms appear, you can begin to format potential solutions faster

Go to a hospital and see for yourself. You don't know when you will need access to a hospital bed; if there are none available for whatever you need it for, will you be happy with the odds then? Also the deaths are likely highly underc

I would argue there is no such thing as software engineering. To me engineering has to live in the real world, i.e. gravity, wind, temperature, material properties, water, etc. Software exists in a world we create, while it may interact wit

Old reddit is all I will use, the new reddit may as well not exist. It funny how a good idea over time can turn into absolute trash if you try hard enough. I find it amazing how you can run a decent sized company and not see how horrific yo

Driving installs is a giant business that also needs to die. At a previous employer we took one small app we had maybe at #150 in travel in the App Store. We paid $10K to some app install driver company as a test. I watched as people in cou

If this is true, how do you enforce it? Send goons to California to beat it out of them? If Google has no presence in Australia they can simply block the whole country. Or replace the home page with a "Your country is out of order&quot

My employer just switched to Zoom (yesterday was my first zoom meeting) and I wondered why we were switching to a company with such lame security.

I wonder if you could do this with period buildings or houses/industrial complexes/stores. Maybe that's too complex to manage. But it's still amazing.

No the difference with Apple is they don't make money off of your data, they make money selling you devices. Google needs to know about your data in order to sell it or ads or whatever to third parties.

As an engineer (ok software engineer but still) terrible engineering is always interesting: why would anyone build a ship like this without a keel, and why would anyone put 2000+ people into a ship designed for 500? Also why would anyone pu

It's hard to imagine that the tiniest pixel spec of a galaxy hold hundreds of millions or more of stars like our own which might have planets with people on them. Of course they might also be 12B years gone.

It's not where you outsource to its the mere fact of paying people who don't work for you or care for more than billable hours (at least the leadership if not the consultants too). You can get that down the street too, though it&#

If you want to learn about the various types of people and how they relate to the world around them, study the French Revolution (in depth, not just a snippet). You will find every kind of person (in much more complex combinations than pres

Either the people in charge of security were dumb (dealt with some of those) or they were smart and the executives refused to listen or fund them (met those as well) or both (and have worked at places like that too). I wonder how many compa

While it's fun to play with, and at least makes 1K images, the end result seems hardly to match the 3 categories. I picked Monet/Portrait/Color Field and got a nice open field. I think it's not that well trained.

I always said if Walmart/Amazon could sell Pot, crime would be cut in half. The point is that "illegal" drugs still have people who want them, thus economically someone will provide, and getting arrested is part of the cost,

As a digital abstract artist who also does generative art, I find making the tiny images sort of funny. How about making a 30x30 inch painting? If it takes 1 second to make a tiny 250 pixel image how long would it take your system to make a

Whatever its future, that is one monster plane I would love to see fly. Given the 747 has no future now and even the A380 is not that popular and might vanish, we may never see such a huge plane again.

Being able to see the geology this way is really interesting. Something made the channels you see, something ground the rocks down to a fine dust and even made that huge sand dune, something tossed all those rocks around. I always wonder if

Are you willing to die for the economy? Ask your kids, are they OK with you dying so that money can be made, maybe collect on some life insurance money? Are you OK with your kids potentially dying (rare but not zero) just to keep them busy

Which would indicate a terribly lack of security awareness at Twitter. Security of your primary business and customers should not be considered optional.

I also do generative art, although mine is not based on the game of life and incorporates some non generative elements. In fact I spend too much time making art and not enough completing the website to showcase it. Digital allows for a wide
