mathieubordere··on Dusting “Attack” via Tornado Cash to Public Wallets
Can someone explain this in English please?
mathieubordere··on The Uber leak exposes the global war on workers
I can imagine Uber using different employment schemes in different countries, complying with local law. Maybe a gig based system is actually benefecial to society in some countries, like you claim, while it's not in others.
mathieubordere··on Your compliance obligations under the UK’s Online Safety Bill
Which appstore is going to allow apps that implement these protocols? They will just be forbidden. Back to square 1.
mathieubordere··on Playstation store will remove customer’s purchased movies
There should be legislation around this, same for music and games. If you "buy" it, you should be able to download it in a DRM-free, non-proprietary format.
mathieubordere··on Humans can't endure temperatures and humidities as high as previously thought
The majority of the world leaders will probably start reacting when the consequences become too severe to swipe under the carpet.
mathieubordere··on Corpse Flower Bloom
It's blooming btw.
mathieubordere··on What happened to the lab-leak hypothesis?
A lab specialized in investigating Coronaviruses in the city where the first outbreak was, is at least suspicious imo. The fact that the Chinese authorities weren't exactly helpful (to my knowledge) in debunking the lab-leak hypothesis is extra suspicious. But then again, if they really would have wanted to cover it up, they might have looked for another city to point to as the source of the outbreak, I don't know how feasible that would have been though.

mathieubordere··on Major crypto lender Celsius freezes withdrawals as markets tumble
One of his recent retweets is also hilarious:

https://twitter.com/davthewave/status/1535760979333873665?s=...

"#Bitcoin lows around these levels lining up with previous lows as time-relative to previous halvings.

Previous halving cycle shows a mini parabolic breakout from the lows.

Chart shows a regularity and logic for the ongoing macro bull."

The amount of pseudo-science bullshit is mind boggling.

mathieubordere··on AI recognition of patient race in medical imaging: a modelling study
I mean, if color of skin, form of eyes and other visible, "mechanical" characteristics can be different it's not that big of a leap to observe that certain non-visible characteristics can differ too between humans.
mathieubordere··on Coinbase warns that bankruptcy could wipe out user funds
Maybe today is the day this charade comes to an end.

edit: Premarket Coinbase value drops -26.70% now

mathieubordere··on Teen mental health is plummeting and social media is a major contributing cause [pdf]
I believe that a simple human being has not evolved to be constantly bombarded with every global problem imaginable. In the past you only worried about your direct environment that caused enough problems on its own. Now the thing is, the whole world has more or less become our direct environment and I'm not surprised mental problems our spiraling out of control as a result of it.

mathieubordere··on Ask HN: Developers who switched careers, what are you doing now?
You don't have to LOVE your job/profession per se, but hating is certainly not healthy for you, it sounds to me you at least have the choice to pursue a different career.
mathieubordere··on Ask HN: Have you ever experienced any paranormal or unexplained phenomena?
How did you test her capabilities?
mathieubordere··on Tesla driver dies after his Model 3 stops on highway, gets hit by two other
Can you explain how you come to the conclusion that it is safer?
mathieubordere··on 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report
"Failing to curb future emissions could cause an additional 1.5 - 5 feet (0.5 - 1.5 meters) of rise for a total of 3.5 - 7 feet (1.1 - 2.1 meters) by the end of this century" is also pretty disturbing.
mathieubordere··on UK launches “No Place To Hide” propaganda campaign to ban E2EE
A compromise could be to only disable E2EE when communicating with children over these platforms? How you ascertain a user is a child is probably a different matter though ...
mathieubordere··on I would like a job writing Haskell
HubSpot is hiring a Haskell developer in Belgium, not sure if the position is remote though.

mathieubordere··on What energized this Arctic hare to keep going and going and going?
Is the study of these animals really more important than their welfare? I can imagine this equipment -> https://img.atlasobscura.com/UC6CwEZZ85Acxf1_v1AK52TfEYf_ZWd... has a non-negligible impact on the animal's life.
mathieubordere··on In second largest DeFi hack, Blockchain Bridge loses $320M Ether

A small `vi` implementation that might be understandable -> https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/editors/vi.c
mathieubordere··on Maryland hasn't updated Covid case data for 15 days due to a security incident
Even if it's slightly milder, the sheer number of cases will probably offset that easily.
mathieubordere··on Tell HN: Lost then regained access to Google account, with correct credentials
I perform a periodical backup of all my Google data with https://takeout.google.com/ if the sh*t would ever hit the fan.
mathieubordere··on Arctic Ocean started getting warmer decades earlier than we thought
This article does not say global climate warming is not man-made, it just states that "Atlantification" is a process that warms the Arctic Ocean even more.
mathieubordere··on How we protect our most sensitive secrets from the most determined attackers
You could let the system ask the characters of the passwords in random order. It would be a bit of a hassle, but gives some added protection for largish passwords.
mathieubordere··on The genius of John von Neumann
oh god, another one to put on the wishlist
mathieubordere··on Moths in slow motion [video]
