A fingerprint is not a password, it's a username.

Why not use the artworks themselves as a screensaver?

At the risk of contributing nothing and bringing politics to HN, Scott Morrison is an utter buffoon and impotent leader.

No, what I'm saying is that the AI is a tool which its creators use to create the invention, nothing more. It doesn't get listed on the patent in the same way other tools don't.

I would suggest instead of viewing AI as the creator, it should be viewed as a tool, and the person/team who built the AI as the true creators.

> Also, Apple buys up huge amounts of the supply chain such that their screens, cameras, etc are better than basically anyone else's,

Care to provide a source? Last I heard, their screens are made by Samsung and LG, and the camera (sensors) by Sony and Omnivision. None of these companies are owned by Apple.

The SD card is another one, the Pi will be logging and constanly reading and writing to the SD card until it eventually fails.

Do you work on slot machine software? How do you know they don't increase the odds of an early win to entice the user to keep feeding it?

It is simply gambling for kids. These 'games' are much more profitable than traditional arcade games (street fighter/mario kart/pacman/etc/etc), and when you boil them down it's because they're essentially slot machines.

So what do you think it means then?

Funny, do you have anything to back that up? Anecdotally, I have a 7 year old pi running my watering system and it hasn't skipped a beat in 7 years of being on 24/7. (current uptime is 1029 days).

Big/old companies tend to get entrenched in their ways, I see this everywhere as a MSP, spouting idioms like "If it ain't broke don't fix it!" and "There's no need to reinvent the wheel".

For Google to enable this on 3rd-party search providers without some kind of agreement they would be sending them a significant increase in traffic and load without warning.

That said, this should be configurable by the user at least.

Or perhaps Google should ask other providers if they want to opt in to this performance enhancing feature instead of "assuming" they don't.

Good to hear that he's pursuing it along legal channels.

It also highlights the importance of managing your private information online, and what can be derived from your various "profile names".

I think I found the transmitter you're talking about, it looks pretty neat: https://github.com/F5OEO/rpidatv

Probably similar reason to why Google/Microsoft/Apple cloud aren't on there either: You should not expect these companies to respect your privacy with regards to everything you upload to their servers.

According to App Store rules, if an in-app payment all goes to the creator with zero platform cut, then Apple foregoes the 30% fee.

Based on what? Do you have any research or studies that support that statement?

I would say it's less overhead than downloading the entire db to query it locally...? What is your suggestion for accessing a static database with less overhead?

Firstly no one said it's magical: It's a direct result of the covid-19 measures, and was predicted to happen.

Secondly it hasn't disappeared, if you read the article it says there were 600 flu deaths (in the US) last year, where previously there were 20,000+.

Finally, all it takes is a quick test to confirm whether it's influenza or coronavirus.

No, I think the truth is that it varies. A counter anecdote is my own example: Our team of network, software and systems engineers has seen productivity increase over the past year of wfh - albeit with casual access to the office and labs.

What's more likely:

* CIA malware is discovered by a (Russian) Security company and they release a report about it.

* CIA malware discovered a year or more ago by a (Russian) security company and they tell the CIA about it and the CIA asks them to wait 1y+ to release the report, and they obliged.

Intersting to see the downvotes, looks like the BTC vs BCH is quite polarizing even on HN

Others however, just increased the block size to allow for more transactions per block and thereby lower fees. This is the intended purpose of the block size as set forth in the Bitcoin whitepaper.

> you have to introduce a second layer in order to work around the inherent limitations

Not true, the block size was intended to deal with this exact issue.

Is this the first release with Google's "FLoC" tracking system?

just tie it to the session cookie or a url identifier, no signup needed

Nothing, and I'm curious about how any source addresses are traced backwards before permitting a transaction.

I think what he meant is:

> Most frontend developers in my experience don't know about developer tools.

I still don't know how that's possible though.

That makes sense. This is why I specifically reported my card lost - so that it would be invalidated, instead of reissued, had I reported it damaged for example.
