Out of curiosity, what is false positive rate of a hash match? If the FPR is comparable to asking a human "are these the same image?", then it would seem to be equivalent to a visual search. I wonder if (or why) human verification

Oh man, I had the exact opposite reaction to 1200 users. If that's retained MAU - that's a lot! I generally assume someone has 0 users unless they express otherwise.

Love the detailed emotional reaction to scrambling to fix an outage. Nothing quite like attempting calm, dispassionate debugging while actively wrestling your own brain

Wildly speculating - could this be a response to Iran trying to hack both presidential campaigns? https://www.wired.com/story/iran-apt42-trump-biden-harris-ph... "Google says Iran-backed hacking group APT42 has ta

Curious, if you ever see this - where in the city did they move? Like an inner suburb/outer ring of the city? Into a block of townhouses/condos? Near family/friends? I'm curious how folks who happily live in the city wit

Cities' attractiveness feels u-shaped Young adults love it bc they have the time to go to bars/restaurants/clubs Middle aged folks hate it because they're so busy - they can't take advantage, and other people get in

Sure, but "EPA to determine methodology, including statistical parameters" is still ambiguous. What's the process for determining the methodology? Would another process have been better? Does the plaintiff's proposed app

This basically flips the judicial review logic from "did the regulator act within the scope of the law?" to "are there other ways the regulator could have acted that would also be within the scope of the law? If so, the judge

The court made their decision at a very high level of abstraction, rather than limiting it to fishermen.

SQL is bifurcating, becasue it's kind of two things. Good SQL is becoming more specialized for dev. No longer are the DBAs tutoring the devs to avoid inefficiencies. Now, the DEs handle really complex pipelining, and get really good. B

Definitely a tragedy of the commons situation. I've used a number of tricks to circumvent paywalls over the years, and they all get shut down after a year or two.

A quick google shows that Starbucks actually has raised prices the _least_ of major fast food chains over the past 10 years. (if you trust [1]) Looks like they're just trying to catch up. Bad timing. [1] https://financebuzz.

I think we agree? The point is that a semiconductor fab (like a 747) is so highly automated that you don't need a bunch of low- or medium-skilled folks to drive forklifts; you need a few high-skills folks to design, monitor, debug &amp

Yea fair lol - def an exaggeration. (And my experience is def not first hand, here) But still - a lot easier than semiconductors

Having seen a few 'high tech' places myself: there's high tech, and then there's _high tech_. Assembling a motherboard is to semiconductor fabs as flying a toy drone is to landing a Boeing 747. One you can learn in an af

Yea, the paper makes clear it's a associative meta-analysis, and the conclusion is basically "we should figure out what the mechanism is" Plus, even if it is causal, it's not really new information: we know high-salt, hi

Is this a thing? This feels like it throws separation of concerns out the window. When my business logic sits in a script, I get a lot of free tooling to help me (code editors, git, jira, etc.). If it sits in a db field, I lose all that alo

It's important to remember that the legal context around admissions has changed over the past few years. 2-3 years ago, it seemed clear that (1) the courts were likely to strike down policies that support diversity via admissions and (

Nah this is totally a thing. There's generally two theories I've heard: (1) US folks are fragile. They pathologize normal thoughts/behaviors to the point that they never actually learn to live with (or fix) them. (2) Non-US f

I suspect it would be more that if a company misbehaves, Japan may lose access (since the US will sanction the company). It's general resilience for critical materials given geopolitical risk, not a fear of the US per se.

Could totally be creepy. But could also totally be a survey. Those are still probably pretty cheap to run on something like Walmart+ delivery customers.

Nah, layoffs are too random. Being the best on your team doesn’t matter if the division is cut, or if the VP is making the call, or if your manager is disfavored, etc. Most of the (risk averse) great folks I know have purposely found safe h
