Re:Memespeech: Censor-proof end-to-end encryption on Thursday March 12, 2020 @12:34PM (#22558596)
I don't get it. Why is this unbannable? Aren't they banning encryption tech without backdoors, not the transmission format?

What's the source of the data?
Re:Ask HN: 2d Cad in JavaScript on Friday February 21, 2020 @05:20AM (#22382151)
Probably raw WebGL. Canvas 2d is limited and doesn't perform very well for a large number of polygons. And I'm not aware of any WebGL libraries that have good 2d support.
Re:How to choose your coworking space? on Wednesday February 19, 2020 @07:19AM (#22364851)
Two more things for me:

1. Are there clear guide-lines for conduct at the shared desks? (Eg. don't do calls at the shared desk)

2. Are there groups working there or only individuals? (Groups can be annoying if you're working alone)

What are some use-cases for this?

"probability" search term doesn't give a useful result. How is data fed into the system?
This is very good stuff. I'd also recommend CS50x, [1] the Intro to Computer Science from Harvard for those who need an intro before diving deeper, as it gives a solid grounding in most of these topics.

Re:Show HN: A personal log from the command line on Sunday February 09, 2020 @12:13PM (#22283108)
Any thoughts on backing up the logs? I don't want to put my personal Dropbox on my work machine
Re:Twitter to label deepfakes and other deceptive media on Wednesday February 05, 2020 @04:33AM (#22245332)
Yeah I'm most concerned about the false sense of security this gives. It won't find deep fakes from unpublished methods.
I like the approach, but it breaks as soon as you have to support IE11.
Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @11:03AM (#22237105)
There was a big splash about the Democrats getting a CTO after the 2016 elections to fix their tech mess. Whatever happened to that?
