Adware has always been a type of malware, even without polymorphic code or other evasion.

If what continues? People following a link from HN to Reddit? People updating uBlock when the reddit counter is >1000? I'm confused.

So if I asked enough industry people at CES what makes a smart TV smart, ultimately I would more often hear about things like motion interpolation than things like network connectivity?

I would say animals in images is more akin to matching two different musical performances of the same song (where one of the two can even be the user humming), which Shazam doesn't offer but some systems like Google Assistant do! Rathe

Yes, but I assume people would typically get to this website via the megathread [0] which says the same as you: > If it's red, it means we're either still working on a fix or the latest script didn't defeat our current fil

I could be wrong, but I interpreted gp as criticizing those who make the solutions available/easy, not those who use the solutions. The former are "trying to block" which takes time -- the latter simply block which is closer

The number has climbed by almost 100 in the past couple of minutes. Interesting to see if the HN effect temporarily ruins your rule of thumb...

No worries; I only meant to comment on the headline within the work itself and didn't even notice a discrepancy!

Not too jargony, but it possibly conflates the regular calibration settings (brightness, contrast, etc.) which are actually worth tweaking because they let you get closer to the original signal. The settings this article discusses generally

I find the headline to be seriously clickbaity, as the word "smart" (in the context of TVs) generally refers to a network connection that facilitates streaming, telemetry, ads, etc. but TFA is not discussing that category of featu

Sounds like the mistake was implementing this exclusively in the screen reader instead of as a browser hotkey.

A casual reader may infer the same for both words, but "following" is much stronger. If I may take some liberties with usage: Following someone to a faraway place is much more likely to involve causation than going to that same pl

Maybe a regular Chromecast plugged into an HDMI audio extractor? They are super cheap on Amazon [0] though if using analog audio it might be worth trying a few to compare sound quality; optical should be perfect quality. [0] https:/&#

Does varying twist rate contribute to that uncertainty? I imagine that a cable with a high twist rate is slower because the twist means the individual conductors are longer (maybe just by a couple percent) than one with a lower twist rate.

Probably the same reason that grocery store shelves and circulars show the price with a loyalty card more prominently than the price without a loyalty card: since most people will end up paying that, it's a better number to use when co

You're looking at the second tab, "probable savings." Switch to the first tab, "purchase price," and the footnote changes from the one you quoted to this: > All prices are shown without incentives or est. 3-year

Interesting. I feel like if you decide to share your OS session (and therefore your browser data which goes well beyond that cart: things like the passwords it offered to save!) all hope is already lost when it comes to isolation between us

Why would it matter if you take 1 minute or 1 day? Either way, the baseline expectation of functionality is for state to persist from one page request to the next page request, no matter how short or long that interval happens to be, and so

Yep. I'm not much of a religious person, but if I were, I might say: not only does AI not create stuff, humans don't either, only the Creator did! I suppose the big bang theory doesn't stray far from this either. Point is, ma

I think that by that same logic, you could say human artists, writers, etc. don't create either, they just move existing matter (which typically isn't created nor destroyed) from one place to another. You could also say an electri

It's an interesting claim that defeating xor requires a JS interpreter but defeating the others (e.g., concatenation, rot18, etc.) does not. I mean, if a bot author wanted to scrape a site or sites where all obfuscation used the same x
