Given Amazon's willingness to spy on their business customers (traffic data in this case), should I be worried to deploy code on AWS that has high IP value in source code form (JS,…

Current stats: upvoted 3 times and downvoted 4 times, which is one way of proving that we suffer empathy deficiency on HN. In fact, I don't think many on HN know what empathy is. P…

We are witnessing great success due to the leadership acumen of certain female heads of state (Merkel, included) which in this case (and Germany's) is rooted in science and driven …

Totally. The general problem is indeed difficult to solve, but I've seen lots of great work in this area.

In addition, the wording "test positive for Covid antibodies" may lead people to think that 30% of the population in MA is immune to Covid19. It obfuscates the fact that the mere p…

Nope, I was simply countering that it's not as simple as they suggested. I added the link to the paper to show one approach to given them some context as to what might it look like…

Google is aware of this problem in their search approach. It's a business problem, not a technical one. You're saying the same thing in suggesting they base their decisions on some…

Google is in the business of producing quick results to sell ads while keeping the cost low. If anyone does better, they will likely do it using a costlier algorithm, and if there …

I keep trying to talk about the general problem and people keep focusing on this one example. I give up. :)

Yes, I was just countering that it’s more involved than recognizing the importance of “no” in a sentence.

Which part of "The paper I linked to below describes a technique they call "deep parsing." Check it out for more context." could you not parse? I mean if us humans have a difficult…

"there is no evidence of cancer" and "there is evidence of no cancer" are two different statements with different meaning, so it's more complex a task than just understanding the i…

There is this, too, from 4 years ago, which seems reasonable in my not-very-well-informed opinion (speaking of which, I'm not sure the work referenced here can deal with hyphenated…

A recent study says that 6 new types of coronavirus were recently found in bats https://www.zmescience.com/science/six-new-types-of-coronavi...

It’s time to go deeper? When faced with an existential crisis, we tend to jump into fix it mode. But fix what? The symptoms or ourselves? Let’s start with ourselves: we have failed…

That's mostly unintended FUD (but still FUD) or problems that can be worked around: > So you don't recall Leftpad? > Are you kidding me? https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-spo…

It's not about choosing a different registry for all your modules, which will almost always be a commercial for-profit entity due to the cost of running and maintaining a centraliz…

I think there's some confusion here. NPM is both a massive repository as well as a package manager. Deno will (soon?) have a package manager, but it won't be tied to one central re…

This brought up in my mind the thought that while Deno is still WIP (for example, packaging of Rust plugins is not yet resolved) and the ecosystem around it barely exists it was de…

HN wouldn't let me nest another response. This is in regards to "Timers aren't necessarily even a requirement" > Assuming you're the only job running on the CPU, which is not the c…

the minimum essential behavior to implement a feature is one that takes into consideration keeping the user safe from attacks... you could call that bloat, but I wouldn't be sarcas…
