All of their thumbnails are unfortunately click-baity. They spoke about ut in an older video. Apparently, the click-baity images drive too much traffic for them to justify something more subtle.

Or you could replace most of the whitespace with repeating semicolons. Makes the code much clearer!

The real answer would be “don’t”. Have a decent whitelist dor training data with reliable data. Don’t just add every orifice of the internet (like reddit) to the training data. Limitations would be good in this case.

“Have you invested in crypto?”

Do you think anyone anywhere will misunderstand this as investing in cryptographic research/development?

The mainstream usage of the word isn’t always aligned with what is good for society or even the original usage of the word.

Not that this covers many cases, but a lot of appliances are running touch screens and a lack of non-visual indicators. Blind people could benefit from having an app with a screen reader to run the machine. Of course, this is just a patch for a problem which shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

If we somehow discovered a supernova (or anything, really) beyond the observable universe, I believe the astronomers would be very very happy.

You know how the sun radiates an incredible amount of power through millions and millions of tonnes of material undergoing nuclear fusion every minute, and the sun is expected to last for millions of years?

Well, not that much. But it’s still a lot!

My graph has a new peak as soon as I walk outside on slippery ground and am terrified of falling.

Its a nice idea which probably has a lot of complex implications. It would probably be a huge pain to figure out dimensions and compatible electric motors for every brand of non-electric vehicle, so the production of replacements would become very wide. Typically, the battery of an EV isn’t just a brick in the engine room, but it’s a whole range of cells along the length of the vehicle. Using the same space as the combustion engine might leave you with a vehicle with terrible range. Also, the safety of a car takes the engine into account. Replacing a combustion engine with an electrical engine would likely require a whole new safety overview for each individual model.

I honestly really hope that your suggestion would work, but I’m not expecting to see this becoming a wide solution before EVs dominate the market anyway.

We need the incrementally more eco-friendly options as well. Most pickup truck driving office workers won’t suddenly get a bike and change their ways, so a more eco friendly personal vehicle is probably a lot more likely to reduce emissions for that demography.

One of the typical arguments is selling ancestry history to insurance companies, effectively handing them health data which could lead to up-pricing or rejections for customers with bad health history.

Yep, I’m just shouting out my country because it checks the boxes.

It’s a country which isn’t usually far behind to receive technology, but for some EU/EEA-reason, Steam doesn’t really have Norway on the list of countries to include for physical products.

Also, we have a few third-party sellers with 50-100% markup, which is lovely.

But I’m sure it’s similar elsewhere.

Norway?

So just a set of strings determined to be used for tracking among a set of hosts? It’s not like I have a better solution, but I feel like making this anti-tracking method encourages more complex tracking params. At some point, I wouldn’t be surprised to see randomly generated query parameter keys which are resolved server side, making this approach impossible.

How does firefox determine which params are trackers and which params are required data?

Is this the wikipedia-argument back at him? The whole twitter post history could fit on a single hard drive, so why are people paying for it?

It just seems like the perspective is off. Implementing some script which reads images of the website which depicts the CAPTCHA, sending it to some AI-solution which can succeed some percentage of the time. Adding this to something which can interact with the website (not sure if you’ll need to indirectly act through something like selenium or if you can make direct web-calls), while also ensuring that the CAPTCHA doesn’t receive other suspicious data.

If you go through that trouble, I would be amazed if combining 2 or 3 words from a dictionary into a username would be the kryptonite of your bot farm.

Again, I don’t know, and it might be a much more preventative solution than I can understand, but it feels like a strange security by obscurity.

Emails, sure. Captchas require a fair bit of elbow grease. Generating a random username which looks fine is nothing in the landscape of bot protection.

I just don’t see how the username is an attack vector. The sign-up has email verification and CAPTCHA. Requiring the username to be something sensible seems excessive.

But honestly, I don’t know. Maybe this stops a lot more bot farms than I’d expect.
