Opening the article Incognito in Chrome and examining the network tab, over 170 requests in total weighing in at around 4MB (for me anyway). That is one reason I choose to use adblockers.

Is Allo one of the largest messaging platforms yet? Will take a bit of times for users to adopt to it I'd imagine. And while WhatsApp has E2E, no mention of it for FB's Messenger. Agreed big shame they will not enable it by default given how those default settings are usually untouched.

you missed the ;) at the end of my message :D

No PoC, but ImageMagick commit history might lead to some clues https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/commits/master

edit: PoC here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11624056 though I haven't ran it myself.

Though they have been around much longer than D3 has... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankey_diagram

"asked digital measurement firm ComScore -- which uses calls made by Facebook's apps as a proxy for time spent"

How does ComScore go about measuring this? Do they run background processes on devices that can detect network calls by other applications? Do they detect the traffic elsewhere in the network? Both of those seem unlikely, so I'm confused.

Axciom, Epsilon and similar companies track your credit card purchases and correlate them with a profile of who they think you are. If you work for a large corporation that is probably easier to identify than a small one.

Can anyone please give a non-vague answer to what Palantir does?

> Despite all the talk of hardcore gamers and abstract metaverses, a lot of people want to watch movies and shows in virtual reality.

Source for that claim?? strapping on a headset doesn't seem like a great way to share a movie with friends, but that's just me.

Unfortunately they probably going to go the way of TT. They never really had a decent enough revenue model IMO. Also annoyed after supporting them through purchasing avatars and a subscription that they still come back asking for more.

Allison Parrish has done a lot of neat work with twitter bots.

What if statusgator.io or my routing to SG goes down? :)

I'm reminded of a previous NYT article about Lithium: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/opinion/sunday/should-we-a... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8314188

Hi, how does React work with other libraries that modify DOM state arbitrarily? How might d3 dom changes or canvas context calls work with React

http://www.betweenthebars.org hosts blogs for hundreds of inmates.

On my browser (Chrome, OSX), that rule was overwritten by

      transform: rotateY(180deg);

Which does the same thing. Presumably there is a reason?

Not sure I agree. A document from Washington outlines Disciplinary segregation which very much sounds like solitary. Granted disciplinary segregation and disciplinary detention might not be the same.

I know on networks such as Weibo, text as images is one method to get around automated censorship filters. Granted such images will likely be deleted by human filters, but not before being able to reach a wider audience.

Here I suppose: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/d96123138522c84cdb25

Github Terms state: "You may not use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright or trademark laws)."

which seems a bit wishy washy. The use of Github to host code doesn't seem to be violating any laws. The execution of the code does however. Splitting hairs no doubt, but it doesn't seem that merely hosting code that facilities copyright infringement is in itself copyright infringement. Granted if Github wants to uphold DMCA Safe Harbor they need to respond right away.

Looks like it was committed to Chromium today https://codereview.chromium.org/566083003/ as per this spec http://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/

I want to get excited about Wolfram and Mathematica again. All of their blog posts are rather informative great reads. But then I head over to the pricing page and am reminded of why I love open source tools.

Fastco has a much more comprehensive (though not interactive) graphic http://www.fastcodesign.com/3034799/infographic-of-the-day/h...

Article states it's not true "digital" rights management. Seems more like an analog rights management (shine an infrared light on ink and register reflection). So presumably no one can be technically liable under the DMCA. However, if Keurig were to switch to a more "digital" form of rights management (perhaps actual RFID), could these third party coffee pod creators be found guilty of circumventing content protection technologies (DMCA violation)?

Make sure to read through code like this before blinding pasting into a JS console.

Pretty cool! I imagine you may have better retention if you allow users to see the result without having to create an account
