I think it's important to note that Greenpeace's anti-whaling campaign started in 1975 in a world that was much less environmentally conscious than it is now. It can be argued that protests, lobbying and direct action on the part

Interested to see if counter-measures begin to be deployed in order to make a deep fake more difficult and buy time. Incorporating dynamic backgrounds and body gestures like touching one's face while talking.

It's similar to a problem i had a few years ago when signing up for Airbnb. At the time I didn't use social networks, so there was no way for me to verify my identity except for a baroque, unoptimized process in which i sent a sca

I love spreadsheets. But not like this. Take a step back and really look at it. This is horrible web UI design. Even as just a spreadsheet it could use a lot of work. For example, it would probably function much better as a single shee

Flimsy anecdotal account. Funny that this person's Fiverr account has gigs like "I will develop a web app for you (starting at $20)", which for me epitomizes the "rush to the bottom" that the writer bemoans.

I don't think this story is about a "free spirit". Twigg was a determined athlete who doggedly pursued her passion while she could and became the best in her field. But her success in sports didn't translate over to an
