dr_hooo··on Instagram Threads hits 100M users, becoming the fastest growing app
It may very well be true that 3rd parties can easily connect my identities. However I still see no reason to share my private identity with Bob from accounting.

Sorry I don't have a answer for your question. But wow, I was not aware of that quote. The audacity of Zuckerberg lecturing people on lack of integrity is amazing. Shaming customers to further tighten his companys lock-in strategy seems... fittingly dystopian.
dr_hooo··on The Lone Banana Problem in AI
You're just a statistical number generator...
dr_hooo··on China Has $3T of ‘Hidden’ Currency Reserves, Setser Says
Could you also just share which previous empire you believe has been more "friendly"?

dr_hooo··on Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem
Does anyone care to highlight the main differences between this and pandoc for creating slides in markdown?
dr_hooo··on Issue dialing 911 on Google Pixel 6 cell phones
Of course it matters, why such a black and white statement? The assumption is that a well funded company should be able to finance a quality assurance team which fixes bugs the developers create
dr_hooo··on Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic?
Sorry, but are we supposed to get this reference, or start Googling for math professor cancer?
dr_hooo··on We don't know how the universe began, and we will never know
You have to believe the claims of the former, while you can verify the claims of the latter yourself.
dr_hooo··on The culture of rejection in computer science publications
You are likely not aware of just how much crap gets submitted for any given conference/journal.
dr_hooo··on One-night stands will be illegal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
Let's not pretend that Russia got kicked out due to their less than ideal stance on gay rights, freedom of the press or straight up murders of dissidents in foreign countries. Mounting a full on invasion of a neighboring country is not the same.
dr_hooo··on Mptcp: Moving laptop from GBit to wireless without applications noticing?
In MPTCP each connection from the bundle appears/behaves just like a single "traditional" TCP connection. Therefore - at least in theory - there should be no issues with NAT/middleboxes. In fact this has been a major design goal from the start.
dr_hooo··on Data Leak Provides a Look into China's Brutal Camp System
Can you explain what you are suggesting with your comment?
dr_hooo··on I thought I’d have accomplished a lot more today and also before I was 35 (2020)
Doesn't matter in this context though: > has something special that you don't have

OP's point is that it's not solely up to you to just "do anything".

dr_hooo··on Life’s preference for symmetry is like ‘a new law of nature’
Great channel, thanks for the heads up!
dr_hooo··on The Vacuum Tube’s Forgotten Rival
I for instance don't know any vets, so I learned something new from the post. So I'd say the title is fine.
dr_hooo··on Threads – 1984 BBC film about the horrors of nuclear war
this video is not available
dr_hooo··on Russia to restrict Facebook access for 'censoring' its media
Not a FB user, so I'm genuinely curious what the GOP agenda is being surpressed?
dr_hooo··on Belling the Cat
What kind of cheap comment is this? If you make such an accusation, which I would say is not obvious at all, at least provide an iota of support for your argument. Or are you a troll?
dr_hooo··on Almost every publicly available CVE PoC
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) + Proof of Concept
dr_hooo··on WebAssembly: The New Kubernetes?
Sounds more like clickbait an some [0]

dr_hooo··on Ask HN: Firefox connection problems after enabling DoH?
Internet routers do not differentiate between TCP/UDP. They do drop IP packets when congestion occurs (regardless what's inside).
dr_hooo··on My Personal Note Taking Journey
I'm using FS Notes[0] which does this.

dr_hooo··on Running a Law Firm on Linux
Having QEMU with MS ready defies the entire purpose. Also not the typical easy to setup you want to unleash on a lawfirm.

And what may the alternatives be, keeping the requirements of GP in mind?

Sadly I don't think we are there yet....

dr_hooo··on Meta: A Social Technology Company
I think that most people here would agree that social media, and Facebook in particular feeds off people's tendency to get addicted to... it. Of course you can "get off" or use it thoughtfully. Many do, but many don't, not realizing how it changes your perception of reality and by extension your personality and relationships. Looking at the amount of plainly false information spreading in these networks, I wouldn't necessarily collectively characterize the userbase as a bunch of free thinkers. Sadly.
dr_hooo··on Germany’s Promising Plan to Bring Conspiracy Theorists Back from the Brink
Sorry, but counseling small groups of people hardly seems like a scalable "promising" plan.

As mentioned elsewhere, Organic Maps provides a much smoother OSM experience (fork of older maps.me version)
dr_hooo··on Update about the October 4th outage
Why is this non-post on the frontage? It's PR only
dr_hooo··on It takes a PhD to develop that
I would really be surprised if any tenured professor would shut down a solution to a well known hard problem just based on his ego. More likely the solution is not as well presented, researched or thought through as it seems (I'm assuming we're not talking about astrophysics here).
