That's good to know. Given that, I don't understand the suspicion of Google Play (App Store, sure).

Would byte for byte build reproducibility address this?

How did you find out? (If you're able to share)

Children of Men was a documentary.

You should at least mention what city you lived in. Your initial comment is hardly credible. Lots of people have ridden buses for more than 18 months in their entire life and appre…

I've had an interesting time transitioning our project from OpenCensus to OpenTelemetry now that the former is EOL'd. We use the otel stackdriver output. Anyone have a refernce com…

I'm surprised there's such little hardware (just a small PCB) in the Nest. Appreciate that source tweet puts "jailbreak" in quotes, it's a board replacement in the shell of Google …

It may also be that poor people have their services (drivers license renewal, K-12 school, apartment maintenance requests, welfare, job interviews) "improved" by AI while the afflu…

TikTok is being singled out for having uniquely bad data practices, which is true, but banning a single app won't solve the larger problem. This 1-off is a distraction from Congres…

Imagine if an intersection was shut down for 3 weeks, or maybe 3 decades. Every night, it threw the best party you’ve ever attended in your life. Instead of being a place where you…

By painting car shows as gang activity and by emphasizing the angry neighbors, the article has painted this entire genre of social gathering and an entire circle of enthusiasts as …

How does this tool go from a vuln. in a library to -> a set of affected functions/control paths? My understanding was that the CVE format is unustructed which makes an analysis lik…

This is a good question and made me think. I have come up with: "Jupyter notebooks can be thought of as Code and an IDE layout"

PDFs only get names once I'm finished reading them. I click "Save As" and sit for 30 seconds and try to figure out what search terms I would use in the future to look for this docu…

Lectures from a course I took (CS 674 at UNR) can be found online here, along with class exercises and names of textbooks: https://www.cse.unr.edu/~bebis/CS474/ Would highly recomm…

> Seemingly admitting the lack of internal capability, discipline and experience, Foley is looking to outsiders for answers > Hiring McKinsey is a clear declaration of failure

Astroturf? Which powerful interest in the world right now wants people to work less?

I recently reset my password; providing the old password any time you remember it allows you to decrypt old emails (in the case of Proton, your password is the AES decryption passw…

On this note, it would be nice for mobile OS's to have their own OTP generator, to prevent the need for a single app just to store the password manager OTP. Google has Authenticato…

To add a bit of color: * One of my friends went to live with her parents after her OPT expired. She was supposed to enroll in an M.S. in August, but due to COVID, the embassies in …

I think so, too. I imagine it's the same with opting-out of "Location History" - you opt-out of seeing the log, not out of locations actually being logged. It would be cool if ther…

The process is to employ/pay human moderators, similar to Facebook [1]. They also pay for some content creation [2]. [1] https://help.quora.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001069906-How-d…
