There are, YouTube has a fairly effective algorithm that is used primarily to remove copyright-infringing content:

Why not use an M-of-N / 2-of-3 encryption scheme where the user can optionally have Keybase protect one of those keys via a 2nd factor. The user would keep the 3rd in the form of a yubikey or simply written down and physically secured.
This could improve both usability and security and Keybase itself still doesn't have access to your data.
This doesn't hold for all types of decisions.
We put up with crazy things in an attempt to match solar position. The meaning of time we all use is flawed when I can hop on a plane and go back to yesterday. That's quite inconsistent with the accepted definition of time as unidirectional.
It is a very interesting idea, the reflectors likely will burn but you could cover the missile with them. You only need to reflect enough to disable/weaken the emitter.
The goal of civil court is to enforce contracts. If both parties agree via a contract to solve any disagreements with 3rd party arbitration, why wouldn't that be legal?
The idea and processes behind Prometheus are still very interesting and have implications beyond the short-term focus on carbon footprint. This type of process will likely be needed to manufacture fuel on other planets.
I'm surprised this is even legal in the US, and not caught for app store TOS violations. It seems they've simply replaced the concept of casino chips with virtual currency. They do have some 'gameplay' outside of this but it is not much different from the various frills on video slot machines.
With BART especially, you can watch the same person that jumped the gate light up a meth pipe in the back of the train car.
BART police will kick them off the train if they get caught but can't really do much else since the city doesn't really prosecute for drug offenses. If you look at the arrest records, you see the same people arrested day after day. They don't have any money.
I'd like to see a program that gives the option of jail or rehab+community service.
With engineering, very few engineers would start work on a design that only addresses a small part of the known problem space.
You might not be happy with the purchase and on the lookout for a better model.
The most likely cause here is just a guessed password. Tokens are typically stored server-side, it is possible but unlikely that the McD app is doing something like passing that un-encrypted.
With the number of password lists online, it is very easy for thieves to try a leaked password you've used on another site. Especially if the app does not have proper login rate-limiting.
Ex: Purchased Whole Foods and have brought down those prices overall plus building Amazon Go stores which offer a much better consumer experience than traditional grocery. Amazon's Web Services platform has leveled the playing field and enabled many startups. Amazon has pressured almost all other retailers online & offline to offer free or cheap delivery which is great for consumers. Walmart would likely never have done this without pressure from Amazon.
1) Whatever entity determines the categorization of content wields great power over the reach of that content. In the FB case, this is likely sufficient to decide elections. Although one could argue FB has this anyway simply via control of the news feed.
2) There will likely be sufficient people who disable filtering that the amplification effect will still be present and large. Most people would agree that amplifying certain speech is dangerous. How should that be handled?
This is from the original Hyperloop paper:
> When the California “high speed” rail was approved, I was quite disappointed, as I know many others were too. How could it be that the home of Silicon Valley and JPL – doing incredible things like indexing all the world’s knowledge and putting rovers on Mars – would build a bullet train that is both one of the most expensive per mile and one of the slowest in the world?
We can do better.
This would probably be hard to do with canvas-based browser fingerprinting, but might work with the various other fields. Basically create a large pool of 'profiles' based on common browser settings, then assign one at random to clients.
Basically, make it look like thousands of users on the same machine.
>(1) “Female” means an individual who self-identifies her gender as a woman, without regard to the individual’s designated sex at birth.

Sure the initial demo where a slightly modified Tesla traveled through the tunnel is not practical, why does that matter?
The challenge is digging tunnels quickly and efficiently, even if hyper-loop tech does not come to fruition, efficient tunnel digging can be used with traditional high-speed rail tech. Compare the state of underground transit in the US vs. other countries, there is clearly substantial room for improvement here.
Smart people especially know that it's relatively easy to lie with statistics and to generate studies with subtle selection bias.
If your premise is that most/all modern scientific studies are funded by drug companies and therefore cannot be trusted, then being anti-vax is still a stretch but you can at least see how it could be rationalized. Especially given the rich history of money suppressing/biasing scientific studies in the past: smoking, asbestos, j&j baby powder, round-up, etc.
Tech companies especially have enough employees that own shares and want to sell that liquidity should not be a big issue. This allows the price to be tested while slowly adding volume (as price stabilizes, more employees willing to sell).
