   I believe so, at least on the software side. For example, the macOS EULA states: > C. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT

   This feels a lot like that infamous comment left on the Dropbox thread. > For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or

   I don't think Americans want to help the world any more than Canadians, Europeans, or the Chinese want to help the world. I don't see anything particularly wrong with that. It's only natural people look out for their own self

   So now the police raid your house in the middle of the night because you accidentally seeded some bad content. /s I joke, of course what would actually happen is your ISP would turn off your connection.

   Given that the last time the U.S. banned alcohol it was a total disaster causing thousands of deaths, and we now live in a time where public sentiment towards many currently illegal drugs becoming legal is positive. I don't expect proh

   If other people flee the cities in favor of cheaper housing elsewhere, then real estate prices should decrease in places like Tokyo making it easer to live there for the people who want to.

   I'm guessing that if your friends were having a hard time making money on Uber its probably because there was a surplus of drivers and not enough riders. Paying people to do a job with no demand is generally a bad way to allocate resou

    I see this a lot, but do they really? I'm sure the technical Apple users knew what they were getting themselves into but most average Joe users I've run into that have iPhones for other reasons like: needing iMessage to talk with

    I also agree that YouTube's recommendations are pretty good. For example, I like to watch Linux distro reviews which are fairly niche and usually only get a few hundred views but my YouTube homepage is filled with them. In contrast, wh

    Would this have any advantage over just using video embeddings (or a sequence of frame embeddings?) which in theory should capture those things in vectorized form.

    So which is better: having no Fortnite at all or having no Fortnite in the App Store with the option to sideload. If you strictly want to stay in the App Store then nothing changes for you and the situation is neither worse nor better. If y

    I recently bought an Onyx Boox Android tablet with eInk screen for $340. It comes with a Wacom stylus included which feels kinda cheap (it's plastic) but works better than any other stylus I've owned before (and it has a proper er

    I think it comes down to the way they're marketed towards consumers. Video game consoles are marketed as appliances that do only one thing (play video games). Apple markets iDevices as "your next computer".

    I really like the idea of Matrix, but in practice I don't have anyone to use it with. At least with Signal the on-boarding experience is super low friction, so I can just tell someone "message me on Signal" and they'll f

    You can't just compare absolute death totals like that. We have a vaccine for the flu which reduces the infection rate. What if the reason COVID-19 has 5.6 times more deaths is because it has 5.6 times more infections.

    If you use Cloudfront (AWS) they have the option for server-side tracking built-in. You just tell them which S3 bucket to dump the logs into and you get the raw HTTP requests with timestamps. I personally use a service called s3stat which t
