jadeddrag··on Facebook Indefinitely Suspends Trump
I think there is a meaningful difference as of yesterday. It now looks like Biden will have a cooperative Democratic controlled senate, because of the Georgia results.
jadeddrag··on US passes anti-corruption law that effectively bans anonymous shell companies
Do you know, will the beneficial ownership disclosure information be available to the public, including available to litigious lawyers?
jadeddrag··on US passes anti-corruption law that effectively bans anonymous shell companies
Probably a dumb question, but are the disclosures only available to the government (federal?), or will the disclosures be available to the general public (and litigious lawyers) too?
jadeddrag··on Amazon scooped up data from its own sellers to launch competing products
Is this any different than what other stores do with their own store brands?
jadeddrag··on Working remotely: I want my shared whiteboard
I want my shared whiteboard in VR. My ideal solution is a multiuser tiltbrush.
jadeddrag··on Boeing CEO ousted as 737 Max crisis deepens
And Nielson. And GE... (aka, old struggling companies that are failing to keep up with the times)
jadeddrag··on Blizzard employees strongly support punishing HK advocate, censorship – survey
Not in China.
jadeddrag··on Microsoft confirms Bing is down in China
Boycotting is one small lever of control.
jadeddrag··on AI Can Detect Illnesses in Human Breath
Are there any estimates about releasing this technology for general use? Or does the (US) FDA insist on slowing down this type of diagnostic technology a few decades, or can we expect to see these as kiosks in every clinic over the next few months?
jadeddrag··on Facebook critic: Company ‘will not survive long term’
And Oculus VR.
jadeddrag··on Creator
Accurate eye tracking UI/UX might be the game changer that puts the ML over the HoloLens, despite its other shortcomings.
jadeddrag··on Please don't use Slack for FOSS projects
And same goes for hipchat.
jadeddrag··on Mark Zuckerberg Says: Virtual Reality the Next Big Thing for Facebook
There is a lot of VR hype right now, but it might be justified now by the big tech advances of accurate low latency position tracking.
jadeddrag··on Skunk Works Reveals Compact Fusion Reactor Details (2014)
I use the google alerts service.
jadeddrag··on Ask HN: What are the greatest discoveries in the last few years?
If it's sold on the internet, it will be available for bitcoin only, and maybe only via the darkweb.
jadeddrag··on Microsoft announces support for SSH
The same argument can be made about the OS itself.
jadeddrag··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
I think you're confusing linux (the kernel) with linux distributions (mostly lousy windows managers that run on linux).

Let's not get into an OS war between us here, but looking at the changes over the last 15 years, it's clear that MS is warming up to Linux. This is something that was absolutely unthinkable during the Gates and Ballmer eras.

The linux community must be doing something right when developer demand and excitement is so high for ssh.

jadeddrag··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
Your link shows us how the NSA would like you to secure your systems, not their love for hiding their exploits behind closed sourced code. No snark points needed here!
jadeddrag··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
I'm sure that the NSA agrees with you.
jadeddrag··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
How would we know unless we can read (and compile) the source code?
jadeddrag··on Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
I'm looking forward to MS just dropping their OS entirely and using linux as their back-end. Basically, Microsoft might be better off creating their own linux distribution running a "microsoft windows" windows manager.
jadeddrag··on I Let IBM’s Watson Tell Me What to Cook for a Week
I could be wrong, but I think the previous poster was asking about getting API access to Watson itself, not the cooking site.
jadeddrag··on Decoding the Enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto and the Birth of Bitcoin
It is extremely easy for a government to convince people to use their new currency, they already do it just by enforcing tax payments be paid in their local fiat currencies.
jadeddrag··on Hertz puts cameras in its rental cars, says it has no plans to use them
Car2go records audio, which should be more disturbing, but most people don't seem to care.
jadeddrag··on The Man Behind MakerBot on Finding the Stories That Build Your Brand
Makerbot is the poster child of ripping off an open source project (reprap), then claiming the IP for itself, without giving back. Bre Pettis is a sellout.
jadeddrag··on Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi 2
If the windows source is not open, and we can't verify the builds we run, then how are we to know if the kernel and drivers, and userland apps are not tainted with NSA backdoors?
jadeddrag··on Reddit has shut down its nascent cryptocurrency project
Or, if there is a large enough user base running some faulty logic, this could cause a big ugly fork in the blockchain. Not good.
jadeddrag··on What can the Myo armband actually do?
The short answer - it's not accurate or reliable enough to do anything useful. It is just an expensive toy and worse, artificially difficult to hack. (the raw data is restricted, even to developers)
jadeddrag··on What can the Myo armband actually do?
Unfortunately thalmic labs is very developer unfriendly, so while the Myo still might have potential, working with the closed source code makes it very difficult to expand the functionality, especially in linux. I suspect it's just another expensive paper weight.
jadeddrag··on ChromeOS will no longer support ext2/3/4 on external drives/SD cards
But is it locked to Win 8? Can you easily install ubuntu on it, or is all the hardware drivers closed source?
