Yeah, I don't think redundancy would have prevented this. What could prevent this is stuff like canaries. Or automatic rollbacks for this kind of change, with the change having to be submitted in two steps, one where it is applied, and

Yes, but if we are giving recommendations to users, and are explicitly wanting to take into account mass surveillance like this entire thread of conversation is about, e2e is pretty much a requirement nowadays, and we should be suspicious o

How can Safari be a defender of the free web, when iOS explicitly prohibits any other engine? They are the new IE, in that they keep users hostage, but this time you can't even run a campaign to try to get users to use a new browser.

If you are writing a code editor you might want to continue parsing it. Or maybe you detected an error, but you want to report more than one error at a time for a better programmer experience. There are lots of use cases for partially parsi

And how long as the open web survived? Cause I see a lot of it dieing every day, being replaced with walls.

Bitcoin reduces the number of coins mined overtime, and after a certain number of coins are mined they will stop being produced. That's almost the definition of deflationary.

Well, the flu only used to kill like 34k people a year in the US. Covid killed over 10 times more, in a population where a significant portion of it was doing social isolation, wearing masks, etc. So yes, maybe you can call flu a pandemic,

Huh, it's funny, I never thought about it, but if you are selling something, the best number of unsold inventory you want to have is 1, not 0. Cause if it's zero, you have no idea how many sales you lost, if it's one, you pre

Is that data from countries where schools are closed? If so, yeah, of course they won't be the main spreaders, they are quarantined. Opening up schools because the closing of the schools is working in control the spread is just the wor

For adversarial recordings, I wonder if we could have a camera that instantly uploads a timestamp and hash of each video taken to a blockchain. This way, we could have videos that we know for a fact were recorded at the latest at a certain

I would like more data for [1], with a breakdown per gender of each category and size. The data they show could be under the effect of a Simpsons paradox from the way they present it.

How is that great? On whatsapp everything you do is E2E by default.

Do you subscribe for paying for content? Cause with Youtube Premium you don't get ads, and the creators you watch get paid. The only thing people like to complain more then ads is for paywalls, but content creators need to be paid some

Please add a control for this experiment. There should be another list of products selected that you did the same with, but you didn't talk infront of the gadgets. There might be some signals that the ads networks are getting from you

That's a crappy experiment. There is no way to disprove the result. So, how about instead, you choose 2 products. Flip a coin to decide one them to talk about. Just think of the other one. See how long it takes to see the product you t

Well, I know this might be a bit extreme for Americans, but one of the easiest ways to prevent DUI's is: don't drive your car to a bar?

I've been playing around in https://play.aidungeon.io/ If you select the paid Dragon model in the settings, that uses GPT3. The interface is more limited, cause you can't play around with the parameters that appea

https://play.aidungeon.io/ The paid model of Dragon in the settings uses GPT3. You don't have access to playing around with the parameters, but by using the custom prompt is still really amazing.

What is more polished than YouTube? For live content there is Twitch, but for edited amateur content YouTube is king.

You can literally say the same thing about say, Alabama. It's full of crime, depression and poverty. How about we let them keep their land, but remove their statehood?

Which parents that never worked? If unemployment doesn't go up, but remains constant or goes down, and more children complete high school, what kids are you worried about? Right now we have a bunch of kids that don't finish high s

It's like if an university released an app for it's student body, they were forced to allow anybody to sign up to the university with Apple pay. And give Apple 30% of the tuition.

Why would anyone do that? I don't see neither a gameplay advantage for doing that, nor a technological one. Is there any applications that could take advantage of that which I am missing?

But copyright is not 5 years right now, it's 70 years after the death of the creator. You say the longer the period, the greater the incentive to invest, but there are definitely diminishing returns there. Does anyone actually believe

Yeah, not only you get a bigger pool of victims with a few predictions, and the idea is that you want there to be games left in the season, so they pay you money for the predictions of the rest of the season so they can gamble.

Taxes also pay for things that people rarely think about, like police. And yes, I know some people have guns in their house, and live in places where police take ages to get there. But I'm not aware of anyone in America that has to str

Yup, and it's also something that all apps can request, and the user is always asked for their preference until they say 'don't ask again'.
