That's complete nonsense. Have any hard evidence to share?

That's really cool. Would like to see more samples - the site seems pretty bare bones right now (not in a good way).

That's an interesting point. I think there is some truth to that in the US and Europe. I have a hard time believing that this will become a huge problem in China and India particularly. The gov there isn't interested in giving the

Isn't this pretty much the definition of the "Great Firewall" ?

Why is that so surprising ? Moving to https:// makes it harder for the GFW to identify people who read specific articles. I can see how China feels news platforms that are https:// only need to be blocked. Out of cur

My guess: it's shaping up similarly to the solar/wind <--> coal fight. At some point, there's not enough money you can lobby with compared to the real world needs and competing lobbies (here: food/nmonsanto etc) an

That's beside the point. Resolving parcel numbers to owners is also problematic, likewise resolving license plate numbers to owners (used to be possible in Switzerland), but we're talking resolving IP addresses to owners. I wonder

Title 17 Chapter 10 only seems to go up to § 1010 on easily accessible public online sources. Is there a canonical way to look up what this actually means ? It seems questionable on first amendment rights anyway.

As Sherlock Holmes would say to Dr. Watson: "You see, but you don't observe". So I quite agree with you - but it feels surprising that so many people just don't do any validation of their model in their head. _How_ the a

My guess would be that this is going to establish a 'baseline' for passengers to be fed into learning models as labeled data set. Unclear how much that would help since there really isn't a baseline of true positives (that I&

Pro.3 and pro.2 is being shot to pieces by Trump right now. Pro.1 does also apply to China I would think. I'm not sure con.1 is that much of an advantage. other than a larger national market.

And arguably, since discovery is a gatekeeper, it is where the money is. Hosting is perhaps harder to monetize and definitely more expensive.

But the premise that there will only be 10 launches per year is (hopefully) false. If launches get much cheaper, there are many reasons to launch more stuff. To orbit, to the moon, to Mars, ...

Thanks for the pointer: Here is another one, maybe more recent: https://ggwash.org/view/32078/musks-hyperloop-math-doesnt-ad... Some good points, but I also think that the train system is overhyped here (comparing

I wish there were more information on how data is accessed / stored. The site claims that the only thing that is stored is the email address of the user, the rest lives in gmail. Is there an app that can read all the email and then sto

Care to back up your statement with sources or data ? I see these claims every now and then and never have seen a decent justification. Would be great to have that to have a more informed debate ...

Title seems very clickbaity. Also, I'd say Google likes to have applicants to be better prepped for interviews, so they probably like the concept.

The ratio seems pretty good to me. A lot of people just don't want to give out their email address. 1. Many will try again later with a throwaway email account they created just for their new account. You could check by setting a cooki

Funny way to blame Google for Spectre ... I don't see what else Google could do (like leaving the holes in place) without open themselves up to liability. Maybe a chrome flag where users could turn off Spectre protection? I'm with

Neither has an easy markdown format that doesn't require fairly proprietary tools to convert to ascii. Plus I'm underwhelmed with the ux in general. But thanks anyway, glad to know more about the state of the art.

Is there a way to sync orgzly to Google drive? Not natively, sadly, only Dropbox supported. Too invested in the Google ecosystem to also depend on Dropbox. I have tried some folder sync apps, but I prefer not to depend on those either.
