Sunset··on Sweden drops Julian Assange rape investigation
So the smear campaign worked then. Good job.
Sunset··on Sweden drops Julian Assange rape investigation
They have a word for that too now. You're apparently a brocialist.
Sunset··on Sweden drops Julian Assange rape investigation
He had consensual sex with them. The sex only became nonconsensual retroactively when they learned about one another. Which is frankly, bullshit.
Sunset··on New paint colors invented by neural network
I'm partial to Dorkwood.

If you're going to use this approach, you need to have it also train on images from a large dataset like something from shutterstock or google imagesearch.

Sunset··on Apple betrayed by its own law firm (2013)
Captain Kirk, on the mountain.
Sunset··on A proposal to move Gnome to GitLab
I can give you a reason. Github has decided it doesn't want to be a common carrier anymore, but instead act politically. This is unacceptable as a service.
Sunset··on “MP3 is dead” missed the real, much better story
Personally I encode into any format I please and to hell with patents. Let em sue me.
Sunset··on WannaCry – New Variants Detected
Maybe install itself as a network packet filter and work as temporary firewall until the machine is restarted?

"New Tab Tools" for firefox.
Sunset··on New Distros Coming to Bash/WSL via Windows Store
>Sometimes one color is great in one type of terminal but is clashing with another color, for a particular use case, in the other terminal!

Fortunately there is an "app distinct" option in the settings. You can pick different color profiles for different programs.

Sunset··on A crashed advertisement reveals logs of a facial recognition system
Are you by chance of a specific ethnicity? (no offense). These systems fail spectacularly if the training set includes only certain ethnicities and the test-ee is not one of them.
Sunset··on Researchers Find Gut Bacteria Can Lead to Strokes
What's your opinion on the use of perfluorocarbons in case of ischemia?
Sunset··on How to Identify Software Licenses Using Python, Vector Space Search and Ngrams
Have you tried nofile.io or one of the myriad pomf.se clones?
Sunset··on Bilingual speakers experience time differently, study finds
Do you "perceive time" or do you "express time". As a multilingual person myself. I don't "think in a language". I "think" in something innate which can't be described as any language I know. The thoughts are formed instantly and then I simply express them in the language the other party will understand. Almost automatically.

I don't have to work to "translate" between these innate collections of ideas to spoken language, it happens automatically.

Some people tell me their inner thoughts are in a certain language, but that's not the case for me.

So I would like a clarification. Do you "think in a language"?

Sunset··on Edge displays “123456” in PDF but prints “114447”
Why doesn't everyone use FoxitPDF in $current_year ?
Sunset··on Are we underestimating the vulnerability of bridges?
Hey, with some domain specific knowledge maybe we could teach it what the various failure modes of the materials used look like.

Have drones with webcams circle the bridge. It would surely speed up the process and may alert to something the humans overlooked.

Sunset··on Are we underestimating the vulnerability of bridges?
>but apparently the inspectors didn't realize they needed to be watching for that.

Could we use neural nets to help the inspectors?

Sunset··on Are we underestimating the vulnerability of bridges?
Then use simpler language like: "it's falling apart", and, "Please sign here confirming that you understand it's going to fall over any minute now and it's going to be your fault when people die."
Sunset··on Infosys plans to hire 10,000 American workers, open four U.S. tech centers
No respect for the profession?
Sunset··on Escalation of Privilege Advisory
I would. And then I'll play dump when the sysadmin asks why my machine isn't in the list.
Sunset··on Why Walking Helps Us Think (2014)
An interesting example is: playing World of Warcraft and watching/listening to a youtube video at the same time on another monitor.

After months I've been able to recall exact details about the random video I watched by returning to the same place inside the gameworld.

Sunset··on Escalation of Privilege Advisory
This is just what you would expect would eventually happen with AMT. Frankly it should be possible to physically disconnect a jumper on the motherboard that completely PHYSICALLY disables things like AMT.
Sunset··on Forcing the password gropers through a smaller hole with OpenBSD's PF queues
China, Russia, Eastern Europe,South America.
Sunset··on EPA website removes climate science site from public view after two decades
There isn't a hypothetical set of statistics you can imagine that would change my moral stance on gun rights and self defense one way or the other.
Sunset··on How Facebook is fighting back against propaganda
I didn't know attempting to control the narrative and allow only a certain kind of propaganda meant "fighting back against propaganda".
Sunset··on EPA website removes climate science site from public view after two decades
Which "science" has been denied about gun control? The question of gun rights is a moral one not scientific.
Sunset··on Black or white background color for an image gallery?
Both? Have a button which changes the default state and stores it in a cookie or localStorage
Sunset··on Just Say No
This is the worst possible idea ever. Get government out of our lives!
Sunset··on 3-D printing offers new approach to making buildings
You don't need to substitute rebar. You can add rebar manually or have a second attachment to the arm insert rebar at opportune moments.
Sunset··on Fake hardware could open the door to malicious malware and critical failures
No. Call it exactly what it is encryption-free-HDMI-splitter.
