    Yes, you are right. I believe tagging significantly reduced the chance of seeing the post in your feed, so it was similar in effect.

    I know some of those fact checkers. They are career journalists and the bar to tag a post as disinformation is extremely high. To tag a post, they need to produce several pages of …

    In my mind, this strongly constrasts with the words [0] of WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg. He says they want to own roughly 5% of the WordPress market, and instead of growing the…

    What legal reason prevents AWS from enforcing its terms of service, to which Parler has agreed? This is a simple question that I feel is ignored by any of the "censorship" argument…

    It's amazing how arbitrarily lines are drawn in this thread. I'd be eager to see people that disapprove AWS's actions what they would say in the following situation: 1) Parler bann…

    The basic configuration still ships with 8GB of RAM. 16GB is $200 extra. I had an 8GB MacBook Pro in 2013. It wasn't enough then, it's absolutely inadequate now.

    8GB of LPDDR3 costs about $30 retail. So they went from a 330% markup to a 660% markup. Nice.

    It would be super interesting to see if this knowledge generalizes with transfer learning. For example, after seeing 50,000 episodes of PacMan, would the GAN be able to recreate Sp…

    This is naively bad advice, in that it doesn't educate the reader, rather it just creates stigma. Threads are a fine tool for many jobs. You just need to understand what you are do…

    They would certainly be paid for their services.

    I admit this is just a shower thought, but airlines could really help in the current situation by transporting sick people across the world (e.g. from Italy to China) to even out h…

    I am not in the position to offer you a job. However, I am also a self-taught engineer in the UK and I can offer you mentorship on developing yourself as an engineer, if you are in…

    Are there any conditions where the compiler can optimize away the call to objc_msgSend? Or is it always used for any call between 2 ObjC/Swift methods?

    I think demand for VC-subsidised labor and real estate will always be high.

    I've played with some early betas of Dark and I must say being deployless may make a good headline, but there are many more-exciting features. There's visual programming, a concise…

    I wish there were some improvements in the I/O aspect of the board. Having tried to use an RPi for a small automation project, I felt limited by the single ADC input and single PWM…

    I really liked Vice's in-depth international coverage of Vice. With Trump tweet obsessed 24/7 news TV it's really easy to lose the big picture of everything else going on in the wo…

    I wonder what happens some of your social media accounts are private. Do they just move on, or do they get the data from the provider?

    I hope that everyone uses this. If I was Netlify, I'd pay Mathieu to develop this further (e.g. web UI for people not handy with CLI). What broke Medium for me was their paywall, p…

    So RSA has some 10-20 years to go. Is there a quantum computing-proof encryption algorithm, or is it just a matter of increasing key lengths?
