The amount of trouble they would get in if they were using that sensor data is astronomical. It’s not rational

It doesn’t sound like you have tried a Quest. I’m not sure I understand your argument at all - what is the logic you are following?

If you wanted faces for data, this would not be the way to do it. You could easily get 1000x photos of faces with a simple web scraper.

This would make for a pretty gnarly funeral... lowering a body into the ground...

What data would be so useful that they could improve ad targeting $100 per user?

@OP, for images from iOS, portrait photos are uploaded in landscape mode, and you need to rotate them before the image pipeline. Currently I believe that is what is causing your facial detection step to fail. If you want to try this on iOS,

At you on iPhone? Rotate your phone 90° clockwise then try again. By default the portrait image will be rotated, causing the face detection to fail. I know this because I‘ve run in to the same problem before, had to correct it server side :

I think they are referring to prostitution (another “victimless crime”), and how it often leads to human trafficking

Awesome!! I’m glad people are using the data channel for games; I always see people say “well we could have better networking but browsers only support TCP sockets” but that is not the case. The most complicated bit is you will need TURN se

The clause starts with "get what they've paid for" - does this apply to free apps?

The moat is very different. Picture 10 years down the line. Which do you feel more confident generating returns?

This looks incredible! I hope this succeeded wildly. The current preview video (“A Closer Look”) has some audio issues - the narrator and Haley talk at the same time. I also wanted to see an example of the interactivity, but maybe the time

I’m not sure I buy this argument due to the disruptions of COVID. Pre-COVID, both parents working full time may have made total sense. With daycare, nannies, and/or school it’s perfectly reasonable both parents can have full time jobs.

What is the purpose of allowing the user to set a "budget" if they automatically refill it? That doesn't sound like a budget at all, and highly deceptive on their end if that's what they called it

Yes. Google has created this monster of SEO optimized spam desperate to show you ads. If they changed their algorithm to prioritize sites with minimal ads and tracking, load quickly and aren’t bloated, and actually work with a good user exp

I blame the modern web for this. Google a question you have, especially something with mass appeal, (health, fitness, media, culture, travel, etc.) and click any of the top links. It will load slowly, 1000s of tracking scripts, there will b

There are many ways to conduct studies on bias. As a simple example, they can do things like send out identical resumes with different genders/races and see who gets called back. You can find a ton of these; here is a meta-analysis

Although hopefully becoming weaker over time, people still hold biases against different groups. Until these biases don’t exist it makes sense to be aware of them and try to correct

Many domain registrars give you an API for DNS updates. Every minute resolve your IP and if it changes, update it. Service won’t be available during propagation but home IP’s don’t change too often

Why spend $2,500 on in-app purchases? This makes it seem like this app is somehow colluding with the thieves?

What the hell?? What is the explanation for this?

No. But having the same software distribution monopoly on their device which Epic is challenging seems hypocritical to me.

This is pretty funny because Xbox has the same store restrictions (impossible to install from another source, all games approved by them, takes a revenue percentage) Apple does.

What is the issue here? Is the torrent checksum (provided by docker) not enough?
