It's interesting insight into how much sleep people actually get, but the article mixes up actual statistics with some random data pulled from elsewhere. What's missing is, for example, the data on how the amount of deep sleep imp

What's a minimum sample size you've been successfully using? I'd imagine that finding APKs, disassembling them and finding the malware yourself for the training datasets are rather resource intensive tasks, so it's a dif

It's less about the actual malware detection aspects and more about whether you can use an emulator to collect data from malicious apps. For background, those apps tend to do the Volkswagen-trick where they detect their environment fir

Couldn't it actually mean the opposite? If fundraising is not newsworthy, it could also be because there are so many of those out there that fewer make the cut.

Does any of this matter when, people just don't care? In 2016 VW sold more cars than any of the years before, and surpassed Toyota as the world's largest automaker [1]. I understand that regulators could issue sale bans or fines o

"The best exercise is the one you actually keep doing" is probably the best thing to keep in mind here. I kept seeing these same lists of exercises, then downloaded all sorts of apps and even subscribed to classes, but the initi

Being smarty pants here, but I wanted to point out that "Brain in a Jar" usually refers to something entirely different: that one is a victim of thoroughgoing error induced by a God-like deceiver . Hypothesis, skeptical argument

I've read through all comments and referred docs, but no one seemed to offer much reason why we'd want machines to draw sketches. An incomplete list: * It's a different way to represent drawings. Alternative to pixels

Some sort of a timeout or feedback would be great I guess. I'm waiting for my opponent for well over a minute now, and I guess they're gone. (But are they? What if I close this now and they win!)

Handgun manufacturers are strictly controlled by the state: you'll need a licence at the very least. If you produced handguns in the garage and one accidentally got out, you probably wouldn't be so surprised to see the FBI at your

Publishers massively overvalue their inventory and don't understand how their million views are worth only buttons. Ad networks can't pay more because they don't get paid more from the advertisers. The key is that no one clic

Reading this from the HN iOS app that, too, has this terrible popup-browser-feature. I doubt they track too much beyond clicks, so perhaps there's a user interface upside to this that I don't see? Are users actually happy with it?

My biggest issue with fonts is the licenses. It takes a law department to understand all the usage constraints and distribution rights for each set, and then you'll have to figure out whom to pay and how much. (Sure, it's nice to

Sure, that's well understood. Being a low-risk point of failure, isn't it still a new one? It does come with setup and maintenance costs, test scenarios etc., so it's only fair to recognise this as a risk.
