But who really pays? The employer? Yes, at first , but the cost is passed straight on to consumers. Prices are sky high in Australia for this reason, businesses have many laws that each increase prices by a fraction of a percent - almost

Another 'good in theory' idea. Trying to run a business in Australia is 'death by a thousand paper cuts'. Far too many rules. Letting individuals interact freely creates good outcomes 90+% of the time. Most of these rule

Lots of (justified) negative observations. But I love the way the code looks (which, by far, is the most important thing for documentation of code). Random example: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/ARGF.html#me

Nowhere in the article says 'hashed' passwords, so I presume plaintext (!!!) passwords were leaked. That's 100x worse than all the other data combined for two reasons: it can be devastating for users, and it's easily pre

I haven’t followed this but it sounds like the internet is about to become unbearable from chrome. Does this affect firefox? If so, what alternatives are there? (I know of brave but heard it’s not so good). Perhaps safari? But it feels quit

I know next to nothing about hashing and Fourier transforms and the like, but my laypersons guess is this is technically true, since if the user makes no attempt to edit the output it could be authored in such a way to give a signature that

Personally I wouldn't care too much about storing the prompt/chat, since I only used it to determine whether I should take the time to watch the video (so it's only necessary for a minute or two max). If it helps you I can sh

It's easy to use and does what it claims to. Nice work. Can you somehow get this into a browser extension or tamper monkey script so it can be a little text box superimposed on the videos on the YouTube home page and in search results?
