Ok but you have to balance that with the risk that your PHYSICAL item will be lost, stolen, or destroyed. What happens then? The problem is that the security protocols required to keep cryptocurrency safe are simply untenable for any mere m

My carrier has a similar “scam likely” feature but afaik that is not directly tied to stir/shaken. I’ve also signed up to have calls rejected and can see them in the carrier app. I have reported at least a thousand different scam calls

The problem with that, at least on my experience with iPhone, is you can only get the authentication signal after you’ve already hung up. The only thing I see is a small checkmark next to the “location” of the call in my recent call log.

When I'm dealing with an upset customer on the phone, disarming means that we can move past the "I'm pissed at you, why can't you fix your stuff" useless conversation into the "how can we help you" much fa

It’s so refreshing when people do this and it totally disarms most people who are angry with you. I also find it effective when talking to people that may not be angry at me specifically, but angry at the company I work for. I may not have

“The largest armed uprising since the Civil War” is a very different situation than murdering an unarmed tech dude in his house and covering it up as a suicide. I’m not excusing murdering civilians either way.

Murdering a us citizen on us soil is not something any enlisted or officer would do.

Also a good point. If each gallon of gasoline is equivalent to about 33kWh of energy, I could have 1.3MWh stored in two ICE powered cars. I guess it’s harder to put out a battery fire than a gas fire?

by ipython 2y ago
Wow. And you can park a car that has a battery with 5x the potential energy in my garage without any additional requirements? Somewhere or another the code doesn’t add up.

I wonder if the truth about sifting out synthetic training data is based on signals separate from the content itself. Signals such as the source of the data, reported author, links to/from etc. These signals would be unavailable to a p

This sounds like a security nightmare just waiting to happen. Nothing like embedding gigantic libraries like libicu into security critical code bases so you can do things like Unicode normalization and comparison functions on usernames.

Nothing screams intrinsic value like burning enormous amounts of energy just to find a set of bits that happen to hash to a value less than a target value. But hey at least we proved that we won the race to find said hash before someone els

In that case, they should post a searchable archive of the Enron email data set ( https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/ ) as a "webmail" interface.

Did you switch efficient with less efficient in your summary? I find your conclusions interesting, basically you’ve listed every modern “appified” experience as unsuitable for true personal growth. I’ve felt this way for a while but never p

I just had this conversation with my grandmother today. She was describing her own grandmothers house- and how huge it was. The large bedrooms, a whole room dedicated to the telephone even! The way she described it, it was a straight up man

This is all well and good but as someone who just went through a renovation, the cost of labor and materials is astronomical. Yes the land is expensive too but it’s not like it was free to get construction crews out either. So while it is a

Is there some way to help someone who has been defrauded by a pig butchering / romance scam to see if the individuals involved were part of this group? My hope would be to assist them in collecting some of the funds that were taken.

When the entire point of the enterprise (sky in this case) is to enable criminals, wouldn’t the enterprise itself be part of the criminal conspiracy? I am all for privacy, but I’m also for rule of law. If I could start an encrypted messagin

If you enjoy this story, read the book Dark Wire which focuses on the FBI’s infiltration of Anom, another encrypted message service. It also covers sky briefly. Fascinating story https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles&#x2F

Given that you already need government issued ID that matches the name printed on your ticket to travel on an airplane, wouldn’t the government already have the ability to track you, regardless of facial recognition?

That is an incredible story of successful yak shaving. I have the same experience, but ultimately my attempts end in failure as I lose interest and sight of the end goal. Kudos!
