But it would also make patent spamming much less valuable and arguably more expensive for the spammer. If you spam patents and get one issued for something that isn't novel and/or already has prior art, everyone can fight it and

I am super happy that work is becoming more accepting of, and that you have found success with, family obligations. I, too, have benefitted greatly from generous parental leave policies and pro-family culture and no those things don’t even

I can’t see a way around it without more government incentive to combat the drift of gerontocratic capitalism. Children aren’t valuable anymore in the access to cheap labor sense because our economy has scaled beyond the phase where that’s

They didn't just include the “I had to get a replacement unit” as a part of a bigger review where they ultimately did what normal consumers do and have the manufacturer replace the unit. Kudos to AirGradient for not trying to pamper th

That’s not the dichotomy. You do get a display. The reviewer’s didn't work and instead of waiting for the replacement unit they just published a “not recommended” and told AirGradient “sorry I don’t get paid enough to give your product

I wonder, does this account for compression? Are the bits counting a concrete representation of ideas transmitted? Or are bits counting a simple abstraction over syllables, similar to a token? Language is compression. And while humans may t

The core argument presented is that children watching porn is a cultural problem and therefore can’t be addressed by a technical solution. I agree with the preface that the online safety act is a big dumpster fire. Regulators and lawmakers

Those controls all still exist. You just get a pass if you’re using “standard crypto”. Or if your implementation is open source.

You definitely shouldn’t use Go, but it’s not because of the discussion in TFA. I jest, rhetorically. Seriously, why are we bashing a researcher for being academic? This makes no fucking sense. Nobody claimed anywhere that people should s

I’m sorry… all these comments about societies banning nudity and graphic violence are really skirting the point. In the context of modern age regulation, at a social level, nobody is arguing people at large should not have access to violent

Well that’s not considered adult in any jurisdiction I know of. Maybe PG-13 at most.

Yes. That “send your passport in” type of id verification is complete BS and everyone knows that. That’s why there is so much work going into modern cryptographic digital identity standards. You should be able to say “I have it on good au

Graphic violence generally is considered adult content. Let’s not pretend slapstick comedy is the same as graphic violence. Furthermore, you/kids definitely see cartoons where one character is enamored with another (heart eyes jumping

That’s the whole point of digital id. You won’t be sending a passport scan you’ll be sending a verifiable blob of data that says you’re over 18. Is it incompetent to ask for ID to purchase alcohol? Because that’s all this is, but more priva

After 25 you can’t really learn new languages without considerable investment and effort. Translating is the only option for the vast majority of people.

You can process the data such that only a structured lookup table is shared with the client. That data structure is massive. The use case isn't really “search Google without them knowing my query”, it’s search my own data without them

Which ultimately results in gigabytes of per-client-encrypted data needing to be downloaded, and regenerated and redownloaded every time the index is updated.

Not if it provides value. And Kagi thinks it does. Please demonstrate or reason that Kagi buying Yandex’s search index (1) does harm and (2) does more harm than good.

It’s not that simple. The client has to send the server the comparison function. To do anything practical the server usually needs to provide the client with gigabytes of per-client-key encrypted seed data.

Or they just don’t want to deal with the bad faith actors with overly amplified internet voices cherrypicking Kagi as the next innocent product to torpedo because they aren’t virtuous enough. You can’t win against crazy people in a mob.

Wars are bad and the person who wins is right. That’s how it has been for all of history. There are no just wars. Just, wars.
