Odds that this is how the US nabbed the key to the Bitcoin from the Colonial Pipeline ransom? That’d be pretty wild, but makes sense...

I have but one upvote to give, but as someone who worked as an interpreter and then moved onto the software side this is the problem that 99% of people don’t get. You can train a DL model to pick every horizon, but you can’t train to pick

Automatic interpretation has been a thing for decades and the promise of replacing a geoscientist completely is always just over the horizon. Even with DL. The new tools are better yes, but honestly I wouldn’t invest in this space. Conventi

I was a strong proponent of WFH for years. I fought tooth and nail for more flexible policies at my previous employers. After having done it now for over a year full-time, I'm done. I don't want to WFH full-time anymore. Part of i

It turns out that as countries develop their birth rates naturally decline and eventually turn negative without requiring the government to set the number of children you can have. Indeed Japan and others are doing almost everything possibl

Kudos to her for landing investors for this idea, but her plan was actually to optimize her pitch for potential investors, and given enough pitches she eventually found a few who pulled the trigger. To me, this is not really a sign of a str

Synthetics only take you so far though. Real data almost always has unusual data (outliers), or the data will violate various assumptions that you've made along the way. In many cases there is no way to know ahead of time how the data

I think most research code bases are used by a significantly smaller number of people. Hence it's easier for the researcher to know what's going on in their code because they probably wrote a significant portion of the code they u

The debunkers are going to have a hard time reconciling their views with the fact that some pretty prominent individuals in our government are basically admitting that these are not terrestrial in origin [1]. [1] https://www.usato

You should be much more concerned about bacteria developing antibiotic resistance. While fungi are undoubtedly evolving quickly and may one day pose a risk to us, the devil we know is already working very quickly to overwhelm our best med

Yes, it will be heavier, and yes it will have more acceleration... But newer vehicles also have AEB with pedestrian detection. If these vehicles displace older existing vehicles without those safety systems we will see fewer fatalities over

LOL. What? If other states do this, then employers will just have to comply. The only problem right now is that CO is kind of by itself. If a company is going to outsource they were going to do it anyways.

It affects you directly because: 1 - many exchanges hold Tether as a reserve and use it extensively for various transactions between the exchanges, which means that if Tether collapses they could have huge holes in their balance sheets. Som

Really because some outrageous percentage of the mining power is centralized in China.

Everyone should take some time now to learn about Tether, the high likelihood that it is in fact a Ponzi scheme, and that it poses a big systemic risk to the crypto exchanges and therefore the markets themselves [1]. People have been soundi

We don't need to ban PoW crypto entirely, just tax the carbon emissions associated with it. If miners can switch their entire operation to geothermal in Iceland, then why should I care?

It's completely antithetical to the environmentally conscious mission to build a product that is going to produce significantly more waste than chalk balls. Chalk residue is a short-term eyesore, but plastic waste lives for hundreds of

I'm sorry, but what's better for the environment here? Not seeing chalk on holds, or producing tons of trash in the form of plastic bottles with aluminum foil inside of them along with the packaging. Chalk balls on the other hand

EVs are perfect second cars or city cars. You don't need to charge them completely all the time. If you want to take a road trip then get a PHEV, or a Hybrid.

I own a LEAF. The maintenance costs are basically zero: just tire rotations. It pains me to think about spending money for oil changes on my other car. Also the build quality on a Nissan is as good as a Toyota.

This is a big deal for IoT, and ubiquitous sensing. It's not there yet, but you can see that a few years down the road we might be able to power very simple sensors via existing wireless networks (for free). That will allow us to put s

One of the most important parts of being a founder is recognizing when you are out of your element, and then finding someone else to help you round out that problematic area. For you this might be sales/marketing. You definitely shoul

LOL. OK. How many lives could’ve been saved if everyone had Covid exposure notifications enabled during the pandemic? The answer is most certainly not zero. Maybe it’s hundreds or thousands.

And that's because iOS users are more valuable in general. They tend to be wealthier, and have more disposable income.

Why would it affect Google's stock? Google has Android, and is pretty upfront about the fact that they're collecting literally everything you do on your phone. Android still has the largest installed user base, and is still feedin

I think this speaks to the power of defaults. 96% of users have not turned this on because they didn't even know that its disabled, and when an app asks you if they can track you, the response is going to be a strong no. The reality is

Legalizing sex work is just papering over the problem here. A lot of men want long-term, committed relationships as well as sex. They want to build families and have children. Allowing them to consort with prostitutes will only solve this f

This is so true. One of the startups I was involved in had the best team imaginable, and their product was vastly superior to the existing alternatives, but the market was already saturated so they had to grind out their sales for over a de

ITT a lot of tech workers with super plush salaries and benefits are going to find out the hard way, that going back to the office for Google is better than going to work for most other companies.
