It lets them constantly drag anything out of proportion. Very often articles are written titled "Xs are Ying", where less than 1% of Xs are even considered to begin with. This is BuzzFeed (not that they're even a worse offend

The parent article would likely be flagged less if it had a nicer title. A title like "Was Shakespeare a Woman?" likely sets off a lot of warnings on peoples' clickbait radars, causing people to flag the submission without ev

I appreciate seeing posts like this as someone who doesn't use any of these apps themselves. It's intriguing what we're already able to accomplish in this area with sufficient funding and data, it makes the future seem very i

Naming themselves e.foundation is one thing, but explicitly naming it "/e/" does seem a bit odd. For reference for those unaware (likely many of you), /e/ is the 4chan board dedicated to 'ecchi' conte

The ending of this article is a little hard to believe. It seems to end the exact way that the author would have wanted it to, something that is very uncommon behavior in teenagers in these situations.

This paper pretty closely resembles one that I saw a few months ago: Neural Population Control via Deep Image Synthesis: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/461525v1 , which is included among the first few refe

They included the pdf in an iframe on the page, which most browsers will want to load instantly. If a browser is configured to download PDFs instead of render them inline, this is expected behavior. Using an iframe is a pretty bad way to of

The original paper was already shared on HN, and that's all that was needed. Clickbait like this doesn't belong on HN.

Spam can be difficult to stop on IRC compared to modern webchat applications. From lacking things like javascript, captchas, cdns, and so on, to having a distributed network architecture and fewer ways to verify users.

While this list isn't the best and some reasons are a bit silly, I'm happy to see more content that helps inform regular users about the downsides of these practices. Paying to give a company your DNA is absurd. As I stated on thi

Disagree with HSTS being 'dangerous' in 2019. There are not really any good excuses left to have any parts of your website (new/different subdomains included) unable to use https. On the other hand, HPKP is a lot easier to me

Yes, Stripe atlas can be a pretty good choice for some of this. With that said, if you don't need anything fancy, and just need a basic LLC for yourself, you can save money (and also choose your state of incorporation if desired) by us

While the idea is neat, I have seen this on HN several times already (searching, it looks like probably around 8 submissions of this url by you from two accounts). It will probably take some actual marketing for your app to get the userbase

For most situations at most scales, there's a lot of simple open source captchas that should work just fine. If you're working on something that has high potential for dedicated abuse, there are some paid ones that will work well

ReCAPTCHA is one of the worst things that has happened to the Internet. Please consider an alternative if you are a webmaster that has a choice. It's overkill for most purposes.

At this point they just realize writing anything that roughly matches "Facebook is bad" is free clicks. It's a rare time when the NYT might have an enemy in common with so many people.

It would be nice to see more in-depth root cause analyses of the fertility issues that many nations like Japan are facing. It's obvious there are a lot of causal factors of various weights, but it's difficult to see which ones hav

It would be nice to have better special regulations specifically concerned with DNA usage and collection, just as we do for health information like HIPAA, just as we should for facial recognition as well.

I will be waiting until I can analyze my DNA myself, without handing it over to a company that is going to do whatever it wants to with it. We are not yet able to fully appreciate how valuable DNA is, and yet everyone seems delighted to pay
