To give a very short answer: getting most people to purchase and commonly use a VR headset is much more difficult than getting them to purchase a light set of glasses that they can wear and use anywhere with ease. There's many more app

Most likely the latter: the server-side code in charge of deleting data did not make a call to their storage api to also remove the object itself. There's a good chance that is intentional and serves as a soft-deletion function, such t

I think you're significantly overestimating how much experience and knowledge most that briefly dabble in currency have both over what is currently going on and over what types of finance scams have happened in the past.

Personally I view the problem here not as a failure of object recognition or what would be considered a visual system, but of abstract reasoning (or lack thereof, of course) Aritical neural networks are pretty good at object recognition, am

Worth noting that the Rizon-related tweet that you cited is most definitely false and zero opers have moved or been added that match that criterion recently.

As options can grant the buyer significant leverage with each option representing 100 shares, the sum they came up with for the article title is likely a misrepresentation, and if the bet goes wrong notably less money will probably be lost.

The way I'd put it is that Cloudflare's suggested implementation may have its issues, but the general idea of trying to verify that someone is a human and then providing this verification to services in a way that is 1) anonymous

Either way I think I have seen more than my fair share of 'this person got absurdly rich absurdly quickly doing absurdly little work' content recently.

This is particularly difficult with social media, as platforms will show users content from those who are not just an outlier, but literally one in a million (or billion) in terms of how successful or lucky they are. There will always be so

There are very specific requirements with strong precedent (see: Howey Test https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/howey-test.asp ) that must be met to be considered a security, and it is very clear that currencies l

It's always sad to watch these apps go through the phases of their lifecycle that seem like inevitable steps at this point. It's all fun and games in the early days, but eventually the incentive structures that watch over us begin

I had forgotten about this for quite awhile, given the pace at which these cases operate at. The great sigh of relief I was unexpectedly gifted this morning upon seeing this at #1 was a nice surprise. Very important precedent, good job.

I think it would take more than this to be leaked, particularly if users had their 'private' messages on services leaked, then they would start to realize it. I think most normal people acknowledge that so many companies know th

This could be the first large breach we've seen from FB like this. Most past breaches were of a much different and smaller nature (scraping or API access abuse), and seeing a real leak like this could change the landscape for FB quit

For those that enjoyed this (and it is quite amazing), here is a similar keynote lecture from the same person, but a bit more recent and with a few other very interesting notes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L43-XE1uwWc

My favorite thing about 'study finds' articles on HN is that I get to read the comments and see people instantly tell me why the article (or sometimes paper as well) is terrible. I mean this sincerely too, since it's a very

HN isn't perfect, but I still find it to be better than so many other communities, and that's why I'm still here daily. Politics is difficult to handle in any community, especially more recently, but I'm still able to

Mostly agree, although I do still think it's solvable in theory, e.g. if chat platforms had strong incentives to implement the same popular feature sets (for example, think of how many websites implement various optional HTML features

The way I generally imagine interoperability with larger and more complex applications is that providers can implement their own extensions and optional features, but that the most basic data elements are generally isomorphic. Would I expec

What's interesting about acquisitions like this is that the actual value that is being transacted is the userbase and their data, along with the inability for either of those to easily move elsewhere. No one wants to buy the actual cha

(In response to yourself and the other Amazon reply) I mostly agree, especially given Twitch and the potential futures ecosystems there. I think it might be a bit harder with antitrust as well, but don't ask me why that is the case,

A few years ago I had thought that an acquisition of this nature was obviously coming sooner or later, but the pool of potential buyers got thinner as Discord gained more and more of their own leverage and influence. At this point I don&#x2
