The problem is that it doesn’t matter if someone is told something isn’t true, their beliefs aren’t changed.

The concern around deep fakes is that they could be used to trick people, fair enough, but apparently tricking people doesn’t require much, if any, believably. Throughout history u…

It would be nice if this was one tool, rather than two overlapping tools with some incompatiblies between them.

It works quite well, but you need a host that isn’t blocked, and they tend to block AWS IPs, so you have to change the IP every now and then. For browsing SwitchyOmega works well w…

My AT&T iPhone wasn’t blocked when roaming in China, it seems they make exceptions for foreign phones. They’re censors are very clever at knowing where the limits are.

It’s not the same, Comcast and other ISPs don’t tamper with HTTPS, and if they break the HTTPS connection then it’s a clearer problem for the ISP to troubleshoot than corruption. S…

Yet it’s actually not simpler for the user, since their transfer can then be tampered with either by accident or intentionally leaving the user with a broken download and then what…

Which countries? I’ve only seen HTTP connections tampered with in practice, and China’s GFW blocks HTTP no different than HTTPS from what I’ve seen.

He never explains why he wants to use HTTP, it’s only about why he thinks HTTPS isn’t nesscary.

It’s missing customer acquisition cost, this is pretty important imo because it gives you a framework to measure and explore ways to improve it.

That’s my core understanding too, the model is essential and that not only rubs statisticians the wrong way but also the current luminaries in deep learning get visibly irritated b…

This is fake science that’s why and it’s not helpful.

It’s satstics applied to cultural anthropology in its current form, it doesn’t have a hard underpinning and changes from culture to culture. So it’s just relative opinions most of …

It’s not about pretend science IMO.

Not sure why this is on HN, since psycology isn’t a science in its current form: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/13/news/la-ol-blowback-... > Why can we definitively say that?…

Bitbucket’s killer feature is integration with JIRA and the rest of the Atlassian stack, so I doubt it’ll have much impact.

CenturyLink isn’t exactly an underfunded provider though.

The meta issue here is that they didn’t have a plan to then validate the changes afterwards. And Grab’s contractors being from India know that streets can be unpredictable and chan…

They let Valve know in advance I’m sure, it’s a small industry and the polite thing to do with friends.

This link has some Q&A with Tim too with more details: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-12-04-fortnite-maker...

No I’m sure they wouldn’t do that, at least as long as Tim is in charge.
