Isn’t trump’s deplatforming contradicting your statement?

I think “speech at scale” should be defined differently that normal free speech. The societal impact of speech that is instantly broadcast to tens of millions of people is substantially different than the same speech being broadcast to 5-10

The idea that Facebook “works on privacy”, and that this guy is going to “work on privacy” elsewhere now, is the most facetious thing ever. It’s like saying that Trump’s legal team led by Giuliani “works on election integrity”.

I’d like to know why this post is getting downvoted. Can some elucidate? Is this HN trump support at work, or is there something iffy about this post that I can’t identify?

Can someone clarify why XRP is considered a security by the SEC but bitcoin and ethereum are not? Is it something intrinsic in the tech, or is it just that XRP is "managed" by Ripple, a company, whereas BTC/ETH are not?

Facebook 2008: put all your private stuff on Facebook because it’s a better world when we’re all “connected”. Facebook 2020: oh, we monetize everyone’s private stuff because ... we’re a champion of small business. Facebook 2025: look, a bir

People had been thinking about digital money for decades but didn’t know how to solve double spend. Proof of work was around since 2000 or so (hashcash) but it wasn’t until satoshi that these ideas were congealed together in the form of the

The current 24h BTC volume on Coinbase alone is 280M. For comparison TSLA (which is a hot stock) is 60M and GOOG is a miserable 2-3M... I know you said "most coins" and I think your statement is true, that the bottom 90% are shit

Fact checking works in a civilized society where the adversaries are “good sports” who acknowledge the rules of the game — e.g., conceding a lost election. The problem today is that we don’t live in such a society. Our political reality has

It just needs (a) enough time since the last crash and (b) some kind of announcement to get the speculative ball rolling. In this case it was the PayPal announcements. And I think a third factor could be day traders getting bored with the d

Suppose you want to do object detection on a phone’s live camera stream. Running your model on aws is probably infeasible, because you’re killing the users data plan while streaming frames into your remote model, and network latency kills t

YouTube music is terrible. I have no idea who the target market is supposed to be. It mixes in the subset of YouTube that is music, but not all of it, and stripped of YouTube context such as comments.

In my opinion the NYT has been the clearest and most unrelenting source of anti-Trumpism in the Trump era, and continues to push hard as Trump is not showing signs of letting go. Historically this may play out as NYT devolving into a hopele

The new Air looks good. The new mbp 13” not so much. If they’re going to lower the max ram they should at least provide an explanation why 16g in the new architecture is comparable to 32 in the previous, if that’s indeed the case.

I have this machine, it’s a super portable and reliable powerhouse. I recently upgraded to a 2019 15”, mostly to go up to 32G ram, and it feels like a downgrade in terms of design and usability.

Isolated example: I have an IoT device, and based on my interactions with support and engineering, the company providing this product is extremely clueless as to my device’s state. Let alone building and monetizing sophisticated profiles of
