Sort of related, I faced such an issue when I had a gui table that was triggering a count on a large object set via sql so it could display the little "1 to 50 of 1000000". This is presumably why services like google say "of

How resource intensive / business focused is your product? Lots of people use vpns for work or privacy, I think that method would have a lot of false positives. In cases where trial account usage costs you very little or nothing I&#x27

My experiences as a math major at a prominent university were even worse. In upper-level courses, professors would work through one problem on the board for the entire class. Turns out, they'd do it wrong about half the time. The next

You really think the government would have trouble doing a handful of raids at once? They have enough officers to do a thousand raids at once. The FBI and Interpol did just that recently, coordinated across more than a dozen countries: htt

An oppressive regime will just make crypto illegal if they want to, make even possessing cryptographic keys punishable, etc. And crypto transactions make it easier to trace spending to you anyway, especially when the regime can unabashedly

Just in that list of commands, there are a dozen different pieces of software that a user has to trust not to steal their keys or make some sort of error. I have more faith in the legal system than software I haven't personally audited

Most people are not nerds like us and prefer to interact with people in person. They cook dinner, they make babies, they read, they play with their dog. They use computers for work. Then you have the gamer segment. VR games are generally ca

Yeah, but if you go to a place that provides service in the US, you're signing up for tipping, and you know it. If you don't like it, stay in and cook and make your own drinks.

How many people are wearing N95s? I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild, only KN95 and that's still relatively uncommon. Most people are still going into social settings with no masks, so that's a more obvious rea

I've done the job of redaction both manually and automatically. I don't think either will hit 100% accuracy, but the difference will be pretty negligible, but the automated method frees up 50 people for a year and gets the data o

What do they need to strip? Seems like it would be pretty easy to have an NLP expert automatically redact secret data from the document set.using humans for this seems like malicious compliance in the first place.

This seems like a step in the right direction. It establishes the principle that the government has a say in healthcare pricing and patients must be held unharmed. Obviously it doesn't cover all cases. But it does bring us closer to a

You're simply wrong. You can certainly never work well outside the top 1%. Hell, you can live on social services while near the bottom if you really want. But I know many upper class people who don't work or barely work. It's

A lot more than 1% have enough wealth to not need to work full time. The top 40% by wealth have wealth of at least 200k. Top 25% have 400k. Top 20% have 600k. These numbers are huge, but they are enough to indicate outright homw ownership a

So there are a few obvious issues - people don't want to work for low wages with no other benefit to their lives, so if they don't have to, they won't. But the blame is on companies here: if you raise wages high enough and tr
