Are you asking for information about the creator of astronaut.io or the lady reading her poem?
marmshallow··on Google Photos is making photos semi-public
Facebook does the same thing right? Not necessarily defending the choice but it’s standard. Wonder if there are similar examples outside of social media sites, like for banking pdf statements generated or something like that...

dank. this cures my itch while the OP is suffering downtime.
marmshallow··on Hewlett Packard Enterprise to Buy Supercomputer Maker Cray
Dumb question, but what defines a supercomputer? I would say EC2 is a supercomputer too, which is effectively computing The Internet live.

Ride share drivers are protesting;

Taxi drivers are committing suicide;

Please read the article before you take a side;

marmshallow··on Tesla sued in wrongful death lawsuit that alleges Autopilot caused crash
Sure, humans can drive with two eyes and a brain. But do Tesla's cameras have the amazing abilities of the human eye, and do his "FSD" chips have the power of the human brain?

We'll find out in a few years...

marmshallow··on Tesla sued in wrongful death lawsuit that alleges Autopilot caused crash
I would assume that Musk's claim was comparing manually driven Teslas on the highway with AP Teslas on the highway. But I don't think there's a way to verify.
marmshallow··on Tesla sued in wrongful death lawsuit that alleges Autopilot caused crash
Care to elaborate why?
marmshallow··on Post-surgical deaths in Scotland drop by a third, attributed to a checklist
I agree. They don't control for external variables.
marmshallow··on I found two identical packs of Skittles among 468 packs
I think the fastest and most accurate process would be to:

* empty a pack of skittles onto white paper and take a photo

* use some existing image recognition libraries to count each color

* export to csv or smn and do excel magic

This is awesome. What are people using it for?

Holy damn, thanks so much. I didn't expect my cry for help to go anywhere.
marmshallow··on Firefox Experiments I Would Have Liked to Try
If OpenList [1] on Chrome was ported to Firefox (ahem, someone please do this), you could do this trick: * Use openlist to copy the list of URLs that you currently have open. * Paste the list into something. I use sublime because it will remember your _unsaved_ tabs. * Paste back into a new window later with OpenList to open them all.

[1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/openlist/nkpjembld...

This extension is also really helpful for mass URL-manipulation when you're too lazy to write a full script, but want to mash on some API. Someone please make a 1:1 port :D

marmshallow··on Mark Zuckerberg Promised a Clear History Tool Almost a Year Ago
In the all hands meetings they would talk so much about establishing or re-establishing trust, and I always wondered why they don’t just have a “clear everything from high school and college” option. People would _love_ that option, and it would make so many more people comfortable with using the platform again.

Their loss.

marmshallow··on Apple blocks Google from running its internal iOS apps
Things that run on your mac are not required to go through the App Store. I think what the OP means is that the adoption rate has been lower than what they wanted/expected.

Are these all in Northern California?
marmshallow··on Neither PWA nor AMP are needed to make a website load fast
Surely you must agree that Wikipedia is a more static site than, say, Facebook.

Agreed, it’s pretty ridiculous to think otherwise.

This is by far my favorite pocket of the internet and much thanks goes to the team that keeps the culture alive and well!

Well now it barely seems like we are talking about human people.
marmshallow··on iPhones are hard to use
Our of curiosity, how is the accessibility of Hacker News? I don’t know much about how to verify that. And I imagine threaded comment pages would be especially difficult to interpret non-visually
marmshallow··on Governments 'not on track' to cap temperatures at below 2 degrees: U.N
I agree this happens for the vast majority of goods today. But does anyone have an example of where end-to-end societal cost is included in an item's purchase price?
marmshallow··on Snap’s Drop in Active Users Could Signal a Social Media Peak
