Yes, it's obviously not a perfect estimate, but can be directionally helpful. You could bucket bugs into categories by severity or type and that might improve the estimate, as well.

That's typically the Lincoln-Petersen Estimator. You can use this type of approach to estimate the number of bugs in your code too! If reviewer A catches 4 bugs, and reviewer B catches 5 bugs, with 2 being the same, then you can estima

It does have some hope yet as open source software. YouTube has been trying to kill yt-dlp for years but the community is always one step ahead.

I've always thought a Thermal Imaging camera mounted above the bed would be the best sleep tracking system. It could even be hooked up to a feedback loop where if it detects your body temperature rising it can increase your fan speed,

You can create a marble run and have marbles more or less follow the exact same path every time. However, on some scale there is an unpredictable nature to things like Brownian motion which affect the run in subtle ways. Perhaps you could g

My favorite solution to this is probably ENS (Ethereum Name Service) - you can link your public key to a domain name, essentially, and it's extremely verifiable and widely adopted.

I'm not sure exactly what that might look like, but if you look at crypto wallets for example, you could have a browser extension (or something like Apple Pay) that's able to custody the private key and sign transactions. Once you

The real question is why online credit card payments still involve using the whole card number, as opposed to some message signed by the card's private key authorizing certain spending limits for a retailer.

The modern solution is to use MPC wallets like ZenGo.

That's really good, though I also want to point out some of the amazing graphics that modders accomplished in Crysis (2008): https://youtu.be/3w6COXBfIY4

In a system of particles, due to random Brownian motion and the nature of Gaussian energy distributions, a small number of particles occasionally gain significantly higher energy than average through statistical fluctuations. Maybe enough t

They have Spotify apps on everything: Garmin watches, Roku TVs, the "Car Thing", Amazon Echo, Facebook Portal, Discord, Bixby... That's a lot of apps to maintain and keep up to date with the latest features.

This is one of the wildest unfolding stories I've seen in a while. DeFi hacks happen all the time, but this time the hacker is demanding to take control over the day-to-day operations of the entire org.

Ever since the Spectre/Meltdown attacks came out, it became a big liability not to do dedicated cores.

Throwback. Even though people called for the end of Filmore's law years ago, today's Turbo Encabulators have more than 1,000 times the sinusoidal deplanaration control. Crazy to think that they were worried about side fumbling jus

Agree on KYC (which has been done by most "legit" exchanges forever), but not on securities. Sure, most ICOs are securities, but the rules are pretty vague and there's a broad spectrum of tokens out there. Gensler still won&#

I'm blaming the SEC for not making clear rules and for sitting on their behinds for years letting crypto exchanges do whatever they want in the US. They have done an extremely poor job of protecting Americans from financial fraud in th

So Gemini is suing Genesis for $1.6B. Genesis is suing Gemini for $0.7B. The New York AG is also suing both of them. The SEC is also suing both of them. I just hope there's a few bucks left over for the investors after all the legal fe

These have been around for a long time. SeaWorld had a hydrofoil boat experience back in 1965. I don't think the biggest problem was the lack of electrification but more the cost, safety, and limited areas where it can operate.

Binance is also paying many billions in fines to the US and exiting the US completely. I also don't understand why - if they're presumably headquartered outside of US jurisdiction, what are they gaining by paying exorbitant fines?

Gensler also said in 2018 that 3/4 of all cryptocurrencies were NOT securities. He likes to continuously expand his power by insisting everything is a security and falls under his jurisdiction.
