economist.com brilliantly bans you from accessing their site after you've clicked a few of their links. The text vanishes because they've sloppily hacked this limitation in client-side by checking a cookie after the page finishes

I despise how someone who makes a false accusation always has the upper hand over the accused. People need to develop a healthy distrust of unconfirmed sources, especially in the age of Photoshop, face- and voice-swapping neural nets, and e

Have any white hats ever audited Uber's ride management protocols? One would hope Uber would combine the ride request, GPS data, etc. from both the rider and driver apps to doubly ensure that the ride really was requested and took plac

Suppose there's a comment with 12 upvotes and 207 downvotes. Now suppose you're reddit and you want to make this comment seem more popular than it actually is. You could slowly remove the downvotes, but attentive people refreshing

The way the layout kept shifting around and moving the text as I tried to read this on mobile was unbearable. I suppose it was still loading images above my scroll position. If only img tags had a feature allowing one to specify the width a

Imagine ransomware infecting your car that gives you 30 minutes to pay or you'll be rammed into a tree at 90mph. I don't care about any contrived and well-funded narratives about how unthinking, unfeeling, driverless cars will som

Lyrebird has real tech capable of doing what they claim, whereas Adobe's demo was completely fake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw&t=2m34s "Wife" sounds exactly the same in both places. All th

If we wanted to be bombarded with petulant broken record temper tantrums in the comment section, we'd go to reddit. Please delete all of your comments before the window of opportunity closes.

I agree and I've upvoted you, but I feel it's worth pointing out that Adobe's claim about their own progress in this field was fake news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw&t=2m34s "Wife&quo

3 hours? What were the tests like? Also, do you have any advice on how to get a doctor to listen to you for more than 3 minutes before rushing you out with a half-baked diagnosis and a prescription for a medication they barely know anything

You cannot code a particle simulator that perfectly mimics 3D space despite each particle only having two spatial location variables. We all have that new agey friend on FB who will inevitably share this nonsense. Do we really need to be de

This technology will eventually be used by those in power to easily kidnap or kill targets via remote commands. Fake news will dismiss the accidents as malfunction. Driving as a whole is safe now because everyone knows the stakes. If you sc

Human drivers can feel relatively safe around other cars because of mutually assured destruction. You are both afraid of dying if you make a significant mistake. Self-driving cars will never have this fear holding them back from making mist
