It's crazy the model can learn implicit biases even when you don't supply that data!

Internet archival initiatives are a legitimate use case, as well as things like sneakernet in Cuba.
The enemy knows the system.
Once you pick a file, I'm fairly certain that the metadata is made available as a JavaScript Blob object containing any relevant metadata (this is how Facebook geotags uploaded photos)
So does this actually bypass the captive portal, or just secure your connections after logging in?
YC has a research division? What do they work on?
Initially read submission site as malbolge.us
I get a cert revoked error when visiting that site in Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)
You broke the first rule of HN: don't criticize pg.
So how exactly does the tunneling service work? Is it something like LogMeIn Hamachi? From what I understand, you need an intermediary server between two nodes in the network to create a connection like this. So do you have to pay hosting costs to create this pipeline?
"Humans do not have general purpose minds, and neither will AIs."
The author must not have met many humans.
What does someone stand to gain by lying about the time?
In my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, this requirement is often flexible. I tend to read it as "B.S. in CS, or sufficiently impressive relevant experience."
"The native apps cover all the features and functionality of the Chrome app and Chrome extension together, and more. The native apps run on Electron overcoming a lot of the restrictions of the Chrome platform."
My understanding was that Electron is just an embedded instance of Chromium, so I'm reading this sentence more like "The native apps run on [embedded Chromium] overcoming a lot of the restrictions of the [standalone Chromium] platform."

How hard would it be to build a JS-based Java Applet and/or Flash Player SHIM in the browser? I see lots of archival attempts on the internet such as the Wayback Machine, but much of the interactive content from the early days of the web is now inaccessible to many as we shift away from native plugins to web standards. With modern JS VMs, it seems as though we ought to be able to support...
What specifically is the move forward here, though? I suppose hn as a community has the power to boycott applying to the company, but how else can we drive internal change from an external position?
Uninstalling the app and simply choosing to use a competitor's services are another option, but sapping the entire organization of revenue seems like it would hurt drivers and developers at least as much as management, if not more so. Do you think this merits organized public protest? Is the average Uber user aware of the issues/incensed enough to actually take to the streets?
Obviously I'd like to see a change, but I'm struggling with how best to actually make this happen.
I wonder what some of the considerations are for posting something like this under an alias v.s. attaching one's real name to a post. Obviously, one most likely wouldn't attach a real name to this kind of writing while one is working at the relevant company, but are there any other factors one might consider, aside from criticizing a current employer? Specifically, are there any possible concerns with being labelled a "problem case" and being blackballed in the tech industry as a whole?
Is the author's credibility hurt significantly by choosing to use a pseudonym, or is the power of the message not greatly impinged?
I have a huge amount of respect for anybody that has the courage to write about these kind of experiences, regardless of if a pseudonym is used or not.
