This is a super important point. We as users control how we are treated on the Internet. We can choose to pay for content, or we can choose to exchange our time, data, buying habits, psychographics, etc, etc, etc in return for "free&qu

Am I correct that they are saying you get 0.1 of a CPU for $1.34/hr, but then AWS gives you 1.0 of a CPU for $4.25/hr. That would mean that for 1.0 CPU on Akashlytics, I would need to pay $13.40/hr versus $4.25/hr on AWS

Company actions are always going to line up with incentives. And that means in an advertising based company, well the actions will line up with generating more ad revenue. Through and through their business is advertising revenue.

Stadia works amazingly well which was actually surprising. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 in 4k with just a controller and Chromecast stick is frankly amazing. Consoles are great if you play enough, but I found that every time I could squeeze an ho

Congrats, this story is a good reminder to founders that it's not just having the right idea, and execution. It's about the persistence and willpower to get to that right idea & execution.

Exactly and maybe we can "lobotomize" sections of the models that replicate unwanted bias in the training data.

I think the difference is that you are paying Apple to not abuse your privacy. With Facebook, you know you are trading some amount of privacy, but these new labels make it clear just what that true cost is.

It is one of the great imbalances in the justice system where technically corporations are people, but criminally don't face anywhere near the same levels of punishment.

Yes, they Internet has felt for lack of better word “weird” for the past couple days. Nothing specific but similar to your experience with random things not loading but refresh and it’s fine etc. Or strangely slow response on websites.

Unless it's a coincidence, I don't think this is just Gmail as I am seeing slow, failed networks connections to services in Google Cloud.

I agree that it wasn't perfect, no doubt about that. It definitely restricted the ability to mass communicate into fewer hands. In general, the reduction in communication friction is THE big advance brought about by the Internet. Insta

Friction is exactly what I believe the end answer is for social media, fake news, viral video, etc. Prior to the Internet, all communication included substantially larger amounts of friction. Broadcasting your opinion required acquiring TV,

Don't forget the part where the most recent release of Pagespeed conveniently ignores the speed impact of YouTube embeds when it didn't in prior versions. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/issues

This is like an entirely new genre within fantasy. I don't even know what you would call it, but it is both entertaining and a beautiful showing of skill all at the same time. Maybe you can't even call it fantasy since it is real

This is all a form of privacy arbitrage. Users are trading their privacy in return for access to content at no $$ cost. The problem is that the deal is not fully transparent to the end user. The amount of privacy they are actually trading i

This definitely makes a lot of sense. What you are saying is that if Company A borrows your TV for a trade show and subsequently someone steals the TV, then your damages are basically the replacement cost of the TV. Even if Company A used y

Given the amount of personal data now being held not only by credit companies, but also big tech, it seems like the liability for data breaches needs adjusted. If a companies main asset is their data, that means that you can ascribe a value

It's fair to say we are hyper aware of these issues because these are some of the reasons we suggest people move off of YouTube embeds in their own websites. I believed it is also relevant to the HN audience in general that this patter

Yes, this is the plan they came up with. It is hybrid so there will be in-class kids and at-home learners all with the same teacher.

Our school district's entire eLearning plan relies on Zoom for full day live streaming. Basically every teacher of every class live streaming all day. Not sure how many other districts and colleges had similar plans.
