Well in this hypothetical scenario, you are stationary (sitting across from each other) so there would be no tracking to notice.

They could be pointing it mostly at the table (<45° angle) and you'd still be in frame without realizing.

Sounds like a joke but Bing is actually trying this.

I think the difference is if Chrome had to stand on its own, it would be even more incentivized to drive traffic to Google for revenue at the expense of user experience.

Did Snapchat's have really good audio quality that doesn't disturb the people around you? Pair that with modern AI assistant breakthroughs and it starts to seem pretty compelling.

They also look way less dorky than Snapchat's attempt.

I mean, the light makes it VERY apparent when it's recording or taking a picture.

Would you be just as uncomfortable eating lunch with someone who had their phone in their hand? It'd be much easier to surreptitiously record/photograph someone with a phone because they have no status indicator when they're recording and people inadvertently point phone lenses at each other all the time.

>High quality content is not a concern for Facebook [Citation needed]

I'd say it's a huge concern due to its strong correlation with increased usage and thus ad revenue.

It already is

Not necessarily, but if it gets xrayed going through security then when they heat it up so that it luminesces, it'll be so bright that it messes up their carefully calibrated detector. This is expensive to fix and the dosimetry people get really mad at you.

Source: wore one of these daily for years and would get regular reminders not to bring them on flights or anywhere else they would have to go through an xray machine (eg some federal buildings)

potential solution: keep a few intentional typos in your passphrases. It also makes dictionary attacks much harder.

I know nothing about this keyboard, but I'd assume it just has one solenoid because the expense and space of 100+ solenoids is impractical if all you're using them for is simulating the vibration/sound of a typewriter.

You forgot the literal billionaire cage match that Musk tried to initiate but then backed out of when it seemed like Zuck wasn't afraid to fight him. Seemed like everyone was talking about it for a couple of days…

That would make it harder by increasing the noise, but the signal is still there.

Unless the receiving (target) phone knows the location of each of the senders, it won't be able to vary the delays in a way that perfectly cancels out the signal. The only hope is to raise the noise floor enough that it would take an impractical number of texts to find the phone's location, which should definitely be possible with random delays.

That's a fantastic analogy for how incredibly wasteful Bitcoin & similar cryptocurrencies are just to maintain a steady state!

People picking through trash beats recyclables going to the landfill. (assuming the trash-pickers don't pull trash out of the can and throw it on the ground in their haste to find recyclables, anyway) So from that perspective, I'm glad someone is doing it.

But on the other hand, it's tragic that people are so desperate for the small sums to be had from recycling that they spend their days digging through other peoples' trash like that.

Yeah, if you watch the supplemental videos they mention that the patient had a partial injury and after 7 years of physical therapy was still unable to walk independently. After getting this implant and doing 6 months of PT, the patient was able to walk unassisted even with the brain interface not powered on.

>Further, what exactly does this have to do with capitalism?

Well it clearly incentivizes regulatory capture, so there's that.

>Does this process really produce no UV?

I have no idea, but the microscope he's looking through could certainly have UV protection built-in. Or perhaps the pulses are so short and small that the cumulative risk is negligible?

Either way, it seems to me like there could be ways for it to be safe enough to require minimal PPE while still producing some non-zero amount of UV.

>There will be no good or service missing in the market.

A lot of services would go missing, actually!

Ransomeware gangs would no longer be able to easily receive their ill-gotten gains. The North Korean regime would lose a major source of funding. Darknet drug marketplaces would have a much more difficult time facilitating illegal activities. Etc.

hef19898 wasn't saying Wells Fargo targeted the criminal demographic, they're saying Block did.

I feel like $500k wouldn't come close to paying for the two years of research that went into this report.

On a related note, exploiting security vulnerabilities is often non-deterministic. There might be thousands of errors or process crashes before the exploit is successful, and if at least some of those get reported to your telemetry servers it becomes a goldmine for discovering zero-days which are actively being exploited.

Microsoft has people who hunt for evidence of zero-days in their telemetry, for example.

Humans are narrative creatures. We literally think in stories, so it's not surprising to me that homeless people have a sad story that explains their homelessness.

We all tell ourselves stories (whether true or not) to process our actions and their consequences. For people who have been victimized, they sometimes become a slave to the story they tell themselves which can lead to learned helplessness.

I think pay is one part of the problem of attracting the best teachers. Potentially an even bigger problem is just how much of the curriculum is dictated by fiat. We require them to get a Masters degree but then give them almost no autonomy. I'm not a teacher, but I feel like that's gotta hurt job satisfaction and be a big contributor to high teacher turnover/burnout. (quick Google says 8%/year leave the field entirely[0])

There's some point where the robot is realistic enough that it's functionally no different than a nanny. I agree it would be dystopian as hell if the kid was just raised by the robot, but giving the parents a bit more sleep and an opportunity to have a date night once a week would help them be way better parents.

As an extreme case, some parents get so stressed and chronically sleep deprived that they get frustrated at their babies for continually crying and shake them, leading to permanent brain damage and even death.[0] To be clear, these parents don't mean to hurt their child but they're not operating coherently anymore. A robot that can give parents a breather here and there would significantly improve quality of care for soooo many babies.

From what I've heard, yes they size their Y1 and Y2 cash bonuses such that your TC will be stable over the first 4 years as long as AMZN stock goes up 15%/year.

eg one of the first Google results for "teamblind Amazon offer eval" turns up someone who was offered >$100k of cash bonus in each of their first two years: https://www.teamblind.com/post/Offer-Comparison---Amazon-vs-...

True, but misleading. Amazon gives big cash bonuses to new hires in years 1 and 2 in order to compensate for the back-weighted vesting schedule.

I led with the spam hypothetical because I think it seems (from my perspective) to be inevitable and doesn't depend on us sharing the same (rather American) axioms around free speech.

I think people should be free to make spaces where they exclude some things as off-topic, flamebait, trolling, etc. eg If I want to run a forum about woodworking then I should be free to remove posts about abortion, guns, CRT, or whatever political hot button issue people might post about.

In principal, I think the 1st amendment protects us from the government censoring speech, not from private parties doing so.

…and what happens when spammers realize they can mix in a political opinion with their Canadian pharmacy spam in order to gain immunity from the filters?

Prepare for a world of spam like: "Your car's extended warranty is about to expire unless you act NOW. Press 1 to connect to a specialist, or press 2 to acknowledge that the FCC should be dismantled."

All of a sudden, removing spam is stifling political speech and is forbidden.
