> they just didnt bother investigating the fraud until after it collapsed Nope. The investigation was opened months before FTX collapsed. It’s not like they’re going to announce it in advance! https://www.bloomberg.com/ne

Wait so Tesla knows that it's not possible for the driver to reach out the window to hand over the paperwork necessary to get into and out of a port, or through scales, because... the truck is designed for ports. Ok then.

You still occasionally hear people saying that VCs don't deserve to be rich, because founders created all the value. But the falsity of this claim becomes increasingly obvious as automation enables VCs to grow funds with fewer and fewe

We’re talking about financials here so it’s referring to financial risk. A highly-qualified and skilled founder is forgoing the guaranteed opportunity to make $1m+ in the time they choose instead to work on their startup. They also risk har

Liz Truss, who brought in tax cuts for the highest earners based on this idea, and as a result lasted only 45 days as prime minister of the U.K. See also: Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Regan.

It’s just marketing copy. They’re reminding everybody that there’s a new Apple TV 4K, not that this feature won’t work on the old one.

Yes that’s right, FLoC is explicitly using personal data. But now consider that that data is “you visited a gardening website in the past month” and compare it with “you visited this website 3 times yesterday” and the two methods don’t look

Ah so they are, thanks! That’s much better. Though for a very, very low-traffic site this would still let me track unique visitors.
854.
by jahewson 4y ago
Yes it would because a unique time stamp allows me to indirectly identify a user.

by jahewson 4y ago
Only multiple requests within a given second get the same time stamp. So if you have less than 86k hits per day, then all your time stamps could be unique. Edit: I misread the article here, where it said each visit incremented the counter b

See my reply to b34r. In addition assigning users into “anonymous” cohorts is a similar principle to FLoC which is likely not GDPR compliant https://searchengineland.com/googles-current-floc-tests-aren...

It’s not anonymous in a low-entropy situation. A user can be indirectly identified. This would violate GDPR.

The fact that this is being used in an analytics product that claims to be compliant with all privacy laws is horrifying. There’s no way this is compliant and it’s deceptive.

That is what mortgage insurance is for.

The financially responsible move of course being to call that debt a “mortgage” and then spend the rest of your life stifling all attempts to build more housing.

Actually the research suggests that participation trophies are counter-productive, because it teaches kids that they don’t need to try, they are simply entitled to rewards: https://lancasteronline.com/opinion/columnist

I think it’s overly generous to say that GPT-3 can “do” any of those things. It can generate stochastic nonsense that can be shoehorned into the approximate shape of those things.

Don’t forget that we already have highly accurate protein structure modelling. AlphaFold adds to that but it’s not like it’s something radically new. Proteins involved in diseases we care about have been extensively studied.

Actually it doesn’t have to be A/C. If you have central air then you have a HEPA filter so just run the system’s fan.
