You really think Bruce Schneier, who has called Snowden a hero, is trying to discredit him in this article? That's not the tone I'm reading here.


Bruce wrote the article, Wire put the bunk UK propaganda click bait headline on it. Wired is dirty.


Try www.offerletter.io


How was your experience with offerletter.io? My package is kind of good already. Will offerletter.io help it push further up? Can you share what kind of strategies you have applied to negotiate more?


Iceland already did something similar: http://www.auroracoin.org/


Why is this getting downvoted? Iceland did roll out a crypto-currency, the article did claim this other to be the first. Seems logicalman is being just that ;).


I would use it but then I couldn't make $0.10 donations to the impoverished every time I open a new tab: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-for-a-cause/gi...



It's much easier for a computer to recognize audio than video content. I'm sure in a couple of years, YouTube will automatically flag violent terrorist propaganda.


Not just any audio but known audio. Finding known video is something they can do already too. That's why some people upload clips from their favorite shows and flip them horizontally to avoid automatic detection. Think of it like a hash for the audio/video portion. Pretty easy to check if it's in the database.


I'm surprised whatever feature detection they use isn't robust against trivial changes like that. Rotation, flipping, and scaling/cropping should all result in the same hash.


We only brushed over how hashes work in college, so I may be totally ignorant, but-- wouldn't rearranging the order of the data (rotate, flip, etc) necessarily change the resulting hash?


They don't use those hashes, they use content fingerprinting: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_fingerprinting



Yeah, but that totally violates DRY principles.


That phrase has been uttered before.


Variables affect the world in long time frames. The influential Harvard study on human happiness[1] could only have been conducted over the course of a lifetime. Check out The Long Now[2] for a group of people evaluating variables at the 10,000 year time scale.

This is a bad idea. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other well endowed schools spend more money per student than they receive from tuition. If they were for-profit institutions, they would be further incentivized to raise tuition.


Can they allow users in Spain to access Google News from a non-Spanish TLD but still serve those results in the Spanish language?


Maybe, but no spanish news sites will be included in the news results, so they'll still be missing a lot of local stuff.
