You'd be surprised, there are many sites that don't even support names longer than some arbitrary limit like 5 or 10 characters because Korean names are typically 3 to 4 characters long.

The phone number is typically required for real-name verification. Pair that with the low character limit above and a lot of stuff just breaks.

I think non-Korean customers just are not much of a consideration for Korean companies unfortunately.

Unfortunately in many countries even prepaid SIM cards are directly tied to government ID verification. I know this has been discussed many times, but I agree that it would be nice to be able to use Signal for secure communications without a phone number.

The argument for people using age to replace GnuPG (PGP really) is that there are better signing tools that you really should be using (minisign/signify) and PGP should not be used for the web-of-trust anymore anyway. There are many good arguments against PGP for all of these things.

I was curious about the same thing and it turns out he does indeed have a post about how he built his blog right here:

I think they couldn't care less about lists. They are super annoying to access and ever since the last update which brought the mobile layout to desktop you can't even create a new list from the "add to list" screen anymore.

Sadly the entire update still feels half-baked and not thought-through and given that it's been months I don't feel too optimistic. There's so many small things that worked fine before and are just missing completely or broken now. It's a shame because I've been using Twitter for a decade but it's hardly useable now.

If you have the money, sure. Not everyone is in the silicon valley tech bubble and can afford it.

You won't be anonymous to the VPN company so a specific corporation can identify you though. Something like Tor would be a better choice.

It's faster. But if you already have a working system that you are happy with it may not warrant a switch. I think it's main strength lies in how easy it is to set up though. First time setting it up from scratch I had a working VPN in less than 5 minutes.

The password is only the last 8 characters, everything before the colon is the password's hash.

Open source software isn't necessarily free software.

People are actually working on something very similar to this in research [1]. By applying random noise to location data the user's individual privacy can be protected while still allowing for collection of usage (or in this case location) statistics etc. This is the key idea behind local differential privacy (which Apple also uses to collect anonymous statistics on usage data [2]).

You should try disabling deep battery optimization in Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimization -> Advanced optimization. Unfortunately that feature is known to cause these kind of problems on OnePlus devices.

Or you could burn them to bluray if you have a device.

From their about page: "Our AI is trained to detect persons as foreground and everything else as background. That's why it only works if there is at least one person in the image."

I believe AlphaGo Zero used reinforcement learning. I would say that's quite an impressive application of it.

It is stated in the article that the figure is an estimate for what she is likely making from advertising revenue on YouTube.

That sums it up nicely.

They select 5 agents and then put up the professional player against a different agent in each game of the series. So it's a single agent, but a different one in each of the five games.

Apparently there is going to be a live exhibition match after showing the replays of the matches against TLO and Mana.

If they throttle high-bandwidth applications they can provide less bandwidth and save money, I'm not surprised at all this is happening now that net neutrality is out the window.

I think this is the show he was referring to: http://www.wxxinews.org/post/connections-did-2001-space-odys...

A short, or short position, is selling first and then buying later. The trader's expectation is that the price will drop; the price they sell at is higher than the price they buy it at later. The difference between the sale price and the buy price produces a profit or loss. [1]

It's interesting how different things are here. In Germany it's nearly expected to get a Masters degree because of the way things used to be: until not too long ago we didn't have BS/MS but only a diploma which was equivalent to a Masters degree so many companies still expect a Masters degree even nowadays. From what I've seen it also seems more difficult to get a MS in a different field than your BS here. Is it common in the US?

We have a lot of anglicisms in the German language and a few of them have developed meanings different from their English counterparts. The word "flatrate" is one such example. In German it is not taken literally to be a "flat rate" but rather to mean "unlimited".

Only takes a couple "primitive shitheads" to ruin it for everyone else unfortunately.

Because at least then you know who has your data. If I agree to Google having some of my data because I trust them with it to some extent that does not mean I want to give any third party access to that data. And I'm not saying there's any reason to trust Google with your data, but at least you'll know who really has access to that data.

It's calling you a fool for sending something that isn't a pic. The way I understood it it's also telling you to take a pic from the in-app keyboard but I haven't actually tried it so I can't confirm this.
