Re:GDPR Enforcement Tracker: List of GDPR fines on Tuesday June 25, 2019 @06:20PM (#20279641)
This is crazy. I've seen it done plenty of times by accident in the past, because people don't know how to use BCC (and its hidden by default in many clients).
Facebook won't be able to install the necessary measures to prevent the moderators from saving the videos onto their own machines.

A lot of the bad content is highly desired by criminals and can even be profitable to sell on the dark web (e.g. child abuse).

Where do you see their phone directory ?

Not in China. Its WeChat all the way, even when they live and work abroad.

Its pretty useful for students or those who want to play with the tech and not sure if they will be committed to it long term. Thats a pretty big marker with all the deep learning hype.

That. I see tons of posts of under/fresh grads trying to use microservices, k8s and TerraForm for their tiny < 100 qps apps.

A properly designed monolith on a dedicated server/VM can easily serve tens of thousands of users just fine and will be far easier to maintain than this mess (plus way cheaper as well).

The main advantage of those tools is when you have a number of distributed teams and you want to scale to millions of users. For nearly anything else, a far smaller setup is what you want.

This was one of the cases discussed in the book.

The book said the manufacturer didn't test the 300mg because it might cause seizure.

Re:Bottle of Lies on Thursday June 06, 2019 @01:03PM (#20116504)
The book provides details with FDA reports, court and patient cases why these are not anecdotes...
Re:Bottle of Lies on Thursday June 06, 2019 @01:02PM (#20116481)
Yup, the book talks in detail about those.

The Egyptian note has the number zero, but the writing still says Fifty Pounds.

Why downvote ? C#/Visual Studio is one of the best languages out there.

C# ?
and it has US warranty.

When I had an issue with my MotoZ (which I got through same-day Prime delivery), Motorolla told me they won't cover it because the IMEI said its from India and can only be covered if I send it to India.

The article mentions a case where 439 unverified reviews were all posted on the same day for one kind of not-known brand headphones.
What bothers more even more is the injection of sponsored ads that ignore not just the keywords you search for, but even the filters like price.

I search for a brand name watch or camera with a price of 300$+ and half of the results are no-name knockoff 25$ watches without even an easy visual way to distinguish them. They just put a very faint "Sponsored" that you have to squint hard to see it.

Re:Show HN: JavaScript plugin to build 360-degree images on Monday April 15, 2019 @04:19PM (#19668537)
Can this work with images taken using Insta360 ? I hate the sharing option in the app which uploads the image to their ad-ridden website.
Maybe to help them recover their password ?
