deusofnull··on Anger as US internet privacy law scrapped
Good thing all these pro-business republicans are all about competition and marketplaces! /s
deusofnull··on Amazon Go
What happens if someone sneaks into the store without an amazon account and walks right the hell out with whatever they want? Not a criticism, just curious what we speculate the theft prevention systems used here might be.
deusofnull··on Assange and Wikileaks – Some basic facts all in one place
I've been somewhat roped into this anxiety shared by many now. It's key to remember that all we're asking for is proof of life. A picture of him with today's newspaper, a trip to the balcony...
deusofnull··on “Let Us Calculate”: Leibniz, Llull, and the Computational Imagination
Amazing work on this. It really strikes me to see a snapshot of the genealogy of the "technological utopian" viewpoint often seen today. People have believed that computational reasoning could delivery universal truth for quite some time now! Also I find it particularly interesting to note the mythical / religious conviction of these thinkers.

Not sure if Leibniz could have forseen the ethical / moral divergence of internet culture today, but I'm sure he would have been fascinated & repulsed by the diatribes of comment sections...

deusofnull··on GitHub Audio
I mean, Adobe Suite programs have a history feature where all your alterations to the image are listed chronologically. I don't know how that system works personally but it is a similar class of application & feature.

Exactly what I thought as well. We're not all crazy to think that'd be a good idea, right?
deusofnull··on Code that is valid in both PHP and Java, and produces the same output in both
Is this just a novelty or does it mean i can hack Enterprise Java apps with ratchet PHP code?
deusofnull··on Show HN: I made an interactive Bootstrap 4 cheat sheet
I really appreciate this... Wow. I love your UI choices. More documentation should be written like this instead of a monolith table of contents.
deusofnull··on How Candy Japan got credit card fraud somewhat under control
Just a thought: have you ever considered that by publishing such red flags for fraud, fraudsters will adopt these "organic" behaviors in order to appear more legitimate? I understand that the idea is to make illicit transactions more difficult and that adopting these "organic" behaviors is more difficult, but automated fraud tools (ie - what most 'script-kiddies' use) also become more sophisticated over time. Regardless, I bet you don't publish ~all~ your fraud detection vectors for that exact reason.
