If Brexit succeeds then other countries will plan a leave of their own. That's the reason for all these punitive measures the EU is putting on the UK. Innovation must stand up to the test of time, but history teaches us that large em

The Barney song ("I love you") was used by the CIA as an interrogation technique. Here's an article about the practice: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_in_psychological_opera...

But it's still terribly fragile and Brexit risks the whole thing collapsing. Not necessarily an innovation if it won't stand up to time.

Poor documentation seems to be a Google culture thing. I suspect that's why godoc is literally just source code comments wrapped in HTML.

> In the future, I predict the newspapers will be naked propagandists. If they judge that some thing someone says or does is going to be bad for their party, they will just ignore it outright or lie about it. You're not getting this

I'm a big fan of rotating keys monthly just to force automation. Maybe that's the answer?

The other way to look at it is that HN comments are indistinguishable from GPT-3 generated sentences. Hell, even a standard Markov chain would suffice.

If the artists don't know or don't care, then neither should end users.

I mean people don't need to go gather primary sources as much if every important event has thousands of smartphone cameras at the scene.

This is why I'm convinced independent journalists are the future. Fact finding itself is a shrinking part of the job. Fact checking the monunental amount of data out there is increasingly important. As such, the need for these megacorp

Eh... in some parts of the US there is still a stigma against being LGBT. Grindr being foreign owned means opening up the possibility of people (who aren't ready to come out) being blackmailed. And that's clearly a national securi

Thanks for the suggestion. A Chrome Extension was my solution for this. I have an MVP and real userbase which I spent time growing. Now I have a platform to experiment with the grander idea here. That being said, I'm not willing to lin

Well, I've been building algorithms which explain _why_ something was surfaced, not just being a black box. Everything is controllable from data sources, ranking/filtering weights and a feedback mechanism to tweak this. As for mon

I'm trying to build something which tackles this problem. The idea would be delegating the decision of what you consume to an algorithm (that you can control), and you'll be delivered a subset of news/content daily. Basically
