It is inefficient to produce and store, but do we have a more efficient alternative that can be rolled out at global scale? Batteries are more efficient at storing energy, but I'm not convinced we can build enough of them as quickly as

I use Zotero with Obsidian. I use plugins to autogenerate one note per reference, and then I can link to that note from my other notes.

I'd much rather have lawmakers set standards on which apps are legal than appstores.

I can attest to it - it gave me many interesting evenings!

I agree. I want to be able to be externally curious. Maybe it's about actually having an external goal and a strong (internal or external) motivation to achieve it.

as far as I understand, the US government does not protect the rights of EU citizens, so US-hosted services are not GDPR compliant. There was a special agreement to keep them legal, "privacy shield", which was taken down by EU Cou

Surely they could just ban cruise ships. They are an environmental disaster anyways.

I stumbled across this when it launched. Here's the talk by the artist that gives some background information: https://youtu.be/bp23r-Gtdkk Rather than talking about webcam permissions, I think we should talk about how

I got nerdsniped hard by this. If I can find the data, I might try to replicate the analysis for Germany. I learned that in Japan, it's quite common for neighbors to have the exact same address, if the entrances fall in the same number

I think it's pretty clear that conditions in many of today's farms really do cause unnecessary suffering for the animals. If we treat animals better, we can't produce as much meat. So, in order to get the general public on bo

MS Word can be lots of fun and is easy to get started with. For sure let them design their own birthday invitations and so on. I had a lot of fun as a kid playing Minecraft and building Redstone contraptions. Minecraft does invite tinkering

It's not clear to me that privacy-preserving ads do actually perform worse than intrusive ads. Maybe advertisers spend less for similar impact.

It might be a defensive acquisition. They don't want free word games to be out there. They want a monopoly on word games.

I previously used jekyll-admin, which gives you a web editor for your local Jekyll installation. I was happy with it: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-admin

ianal, but I think CDNs would not be affected by the ruling, since they serve an important function. Google Fonts was deemed illegal here since it's not necessary and you can easily provide a font in a privacy-preserving way.

I agree. Matrix isn't quite ready for its prime time, but it's getting there. Synapse is getting more efficient with every update, and the spec is doing so as well. For example, they recently released the new sync API, which makes

My professor made fun of this article in yesterday's lecture. Nice to see it discussed here, too. The article does make a few solid points, but the conclusion isn't supported. Even automated Deep Learning based science draws from

Self-driving is another problem that seems like it's a constrained scope. After all, there's a clear rule set and even lines on the ground! But like so many fields, it's very hard to model the human actors, their feelings and

Social Media has a broken business model that does not respect its users. Any experiment that might result in better-aligned incentives for users and company is welcome!

I wonder how they will name the frankensub. Saphle or Perir?

Which is why I'm not converting my friends to anything at the moment. Matrix is slowly gaining adoption, but I can't recommend neither a client nor a homeserver. It is at a place where every university should run a homeserver, tho

It's not at all a random website. haveibeenpwned is renowned. Your phone number is not uploaded to the server, instead your browser asks for a whole range of (hashed) phone numbers and checks locally if yours was one of them. The proce

Consciousness is not a material phenomenon anyways. To me it seems plausible that consciousness and matter are produced by the same code.

I'd slightly modify that: FB is careful about privacy law , but its business model is about extracting private data.

by luplex 6y ago
I'm pretty sure Facebook is really careful around this stuff. it's illegal for them to ignore your previously made privacy choices. Facebook can't afford to break the law in such an obvious way.

Yes, your tool is a welcome addition!

This is similar to WebPlotDigitizer, which helps you extract data from graphs: https://automeris.io/WebPlotDigitizer/index.html

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that straight out lying about having customers in order to make your product seem better than it is is actually illegal, it feels like it should be covered by the following law in Germany (German): https:&#x

I'm not sure that more fragmentation would be good. Chats are linear because conversations are linear in time. Our brains have evolved to stay on top of linear group conversations. Introducing too much of an opinionated interface would

I expect that today's social media paradigm will be recognized as harmful, just like Fast Food and Porn. Sure, sometimes you want to get that fix, but at that point its long-term utility will have degraded to nothing, so it's not
