I get the humor in your statement, but there's a lot of truth there. At the end of the day, when Netflix, Hulu, and Prime don't have it, tpb does. In perfect, uninterrupted HD. The only downside? Waiting 5 minutes for it to downlo

Interesting - this sounds similar to Japan's "Rascal the Raccoon" problem[1]. I wonder just how many species have experienced similar surges in popularity at the hands of media. [1]: http://nautil.us/blog&#x2F

Sure, I can admit that I was wrong about his "net profit" for his crime, because that number was eyeballed. However, the pedantry I made myself vulnerable to doesn't really change my point that he's getting a disproporti

I'm not necessarily advocating for harsher sentencing anywhere, but there definitely needs to be an attempt to balance the scales. And if we don't keep pointing out this clear disparity, we can expect nothing to change. That'

Frankly, I don't think "not being able to be a CIO" is a very serious impact, especially as he's demonstrated his lack of ethical reasoning in such a position. There's plenty of upper-management IT positions that he

The problem here is the disproportionate amount of "disincentive" occurring - in this case Ying is basically making around $500k to spend 4 months in prison. If somebody pitched that idea to me on its own, I'd at least put so

You're correct. I oversimplified it quite a bit.

Sort of, yeah. It would be 51% of verification nodes. If you bought 51% of all Bitcoin, but it was verified by everybody else in the network, you don't actually have any power to decide if your transactions were valid or not. If you co

To add, Swartz also didn't attempt any assassinations. While I see some overlap in the way that Ulbricht was made an example of, he ultimately shot himself in the foot by resorting to such nefarious means to protect himself.

Regardless of where you stand on this matter, I think there are quite a few questions we should all be seeking to answer. All the varying opinions and nuance have only served to leave me feeling confused about the whole matter, and I'm

But isn't that what the article is stating? That the core team is making the final decisions?

I agree that it's worded confusingly, but I think I can see the point they're making. Solutioning usually looks vastly different when driven by a core team than when it's driven by higher-ups or "The Business". The

I disagree as well - I think the author is confusing "normalization" with "popularization". Big Bang Theory is for people to laugh at nerdiness, not with it. Along with the cases that you've listed, I think a clear

I agree with you overall. This is purely speculative, but it seems that the rise of pre-packaged ML solutions has caused the meaning of "from scratch" to have changed to "with sklearn". It's easy to feel like a shor

I had that thought originally too - however the keywords here are "statutory obligation" (basically, legal reasons.) So if the FBI asked them to retain the data, they can do so as long as the FBI needs it. And the matter of anonym

I thought it was clear in my original comment that it would require more than one developer before - one for the BI process and at least one for the data-entry component. Given that most BI teams don't have a web developer, that also s

I haven't tried this yet, but if it works well, the implications towards rapid Business Intelligence development are great. In the past, when a user has needed some 15-year-old, macro-infused spreedsheet turned into a more streamline,

I read the audit, and here's something I noticed (other than that it's 8 years old): "In determining appropriate retention periods for personal information, data controllers can have due regard to any statutory obligations to

Was the nature of deletion explicitly defined as "deleted records are removed from all databases, data warehouses included"? They technically wouldn't be lying if they only deleted the record from application systems, but ret

What are - if any - the security implications of the signature spoofing that MicroG requires? I've considered trying to squeeze MicroG into GrapheneOS, but GrapheneOS currently doesn't support signature spoofing. LineageOS does, b
