One of many things, yes. Also, see any news story circa 2013 and the Edward Snowden leaks. In more recent and relevant histoy, the border security program is fairly well established to have been rolled out half-baked with the intention of m

I'd guess Chess, crosses and naughts, or connect four. Since it's fairly easy to program those in a university course, probably they have been done countless times.

Perhaps, but perhaps not. If you've followed the news since 2001, you'll find that improper deletion of data is a theme that goes back a long time to the point where you should really question whether it's really an accident

Unbiased compared to what? Let's say you have three search orderings: ABC, BCA, and CAB. Which one is the unbiased one?

I think I agree with the complaints about this study. Unique doesn't mean personalized. IP geo-location, ISP... Don't forget browser and OS versions... there are lots of things you can sample over without actually representing any

Because then he could be married before he was even born? Or a young person could "feel" like you are 65+, and start collecting retirement benefits early? Or they could "feel" 21+, so they could buy alcohol? Or if by cha

Not to point out the obvious, but the content you are talking about isn't going to be affected. The issue with banning adult content, is that it often ends up being more easy to ban all adult content and LGBTQ+ content. Generally spe

The parent is implying you'd buy them the property, not just move them and still have them sleep outside.

I've seen multiple programs similar to the Detroit one, though you need to know where to look. Generally they follow the same idea as the above: You get a house for cheap, but it needs major repairs/renovations. Essentially you ge

Sounds like he's got quite a decent income. I'd feel worse if half his money was $0 and the family dog. Edit: and considering he choked his wife on their lawn, (allegedly), divorce sounds reasonable to me.

Monopolies mostly. The US is big enough that there are really only 2, maybe 3 providers. Everyone else is a reseller.

Now that I think about it though, due to fine size minimums, the placement would probably be messed up even if it worked. I imagine that's part of the problem with just adapting it.

Good riddance. 99% of the time annotations were spam as far as I know. Using them for actual annotations seemed to be a rarity.

>gone within a day or two Shouldn't people on hackernews be familiar with "continuous testing"? There is no reason to believe non-tech can't modernize their test infra too.

Basic ethics? Seriously, think through the implications of allowing companies to sell medical treatment that don't mention the risks.

Yes, but you need more than one face. An average face doesn't much look like any particular person. You'd need maybe a few hundred faces. Facial matching usually reduces search space by assuming something about the input. I.e. you

I believe the root complaint is the link shows the "Title", a small snippet, and/or a thumbnailed image. The concern is that it's a law essentially designed to punish large companies for essentially doing what the intern

How so? You are nearly doubling your money every 3 months. What investments can do that? Crypto? Not guaranteed. Pretty much only usury and actual crime.

Agreed. No one can know the exact way everything played out, but the warning signs are there for the savvy person willing to look for them. However, I do wonder if their lack of caution may have helped their downfall to begin with. Housing

Fun fact: Anthrax is naturally occurring, and not really that deadly if correctly diagnosed. Your primary care doctor can treat you for Anthrax, and you'd likely be fine. The only difficulty in 2001 was that individuals were in contact

The TL;DR is: The court says it's ok to say "no" to accepting a channel. BUT not if it was because of racism. The trial will focus on whether they can prove it was racism, or some other reason.

Comcast/Charter was trying to say 1st amendment allows them to discriminate based on race (in essence, similar to the Cake-shop ruling). The ruling just says that the companies do not have that right. The plaintiff still needs to pro

Considering the fact that the Times reports that the reason FB had been keeping this stuff secret is because worry of congressional oversight, I think your analysis about Clinton is overly reductionist and factually inaccurate. In general y

Democracy has always been fragile and built on the blood of patriots willing to fight against tyranny. A look at WW2 should remind everyone how quickly dictators can erase that if we are not prepared.

For suggested reading, I recommend reading about the Arab Spring, where social networks were linked to populist overthrow of dictators in the middle east and northern Africa. I also suggest reading about Whatsapp killings in India. The evid

Hitting DNS would probably take down credit card payments, but I think the worry about hitting electric/water grid is a step up in terms of how immediate the danger would be to actual lives.

I think Go Fund Me probably has less outright scams because the whole point is that you are asking for money and giving nothing in return. Compare to Kickstarter where many people try to sell ideas and products that they have no intention o
