Hasn’t screenshot detection been a key feature of Snapchat for many years, possibly even since inception?

It’s likely they were using placeholder animations at such an early stage of the game’s production. I think we’ll see all-new animations for VI.

In addition to the other comments about the creation of highly perverse incentives, options trading is intriniscally zero-sum.

When a politician makes a positive return on selling their contract(s), another person loses and their wealth is transferred to the politician.

I believe this is an Arkose Labs captcha for anyone wondering.

We are at a point where the gap between the capability of the most advanced vision models and the capability of even the slowest neurotypical person to solve a captcha in a reasonable amount of time is very small.

I recently encountered a dart board addition puzzle which was shockingly confusing and took me about 30 seconds to a minute to solve.

They’re a market maker – earning more in periods of volatility and stress as they essentially arbitrage the market. They aren’t a fund that speculates on the future value of stocks.

You'll probably still be losing more and more features as they're moved to the cloud and can't be cracked.

I think the metric is only supposed to represent the absolute maximum possible users. Otherwise one could also say that many people only use their PlayStations to play FPS’s or that a large portion of Switch users are children that wouldn’t purchase Skyrim etc etc.

Apologies, that’s my mistake I didn’t realise it was in the url when I copied and submitted.

Appears to me to be a bit of a misleading title; the hack cost Capital One $270m in fines and compensation. Title seems to imply $270m was stolen in the hack.

That's the case for the M1 Pro and M1 Ultra. The regular M1 only supports a single external display.

A Twitter announcement for Crypto support would absolutely not be enough to pump the market. The wider sell off in crypto is due to a sell off in all markets due to a number of factors such as increasing rates. This is not some minor slump that will end with a Musk tweet.

Incorrect. UST is also supported by LFG Bitcoin reserves intended to defend the peg, so the term "backed up" is entirely appropriate.

Much of those Bitcoin reserves have already been sold, causing most of the BTC price decrease.

It has definitely impacted the BTC price. A ton of BTC was quickly sold off in order to try and support UST.

It deserves to fail. Another crypto ecosystem bootstrapped off itself.

I think (1) is a bit harsh relating to the terminology. Technically front running is based on plainly “non-public” information. The term has been generalised and expanded to include crypto transactions which are slightly more obfuscated from the average user who doesn’t sit and watch the mempool. I think the term is completely appropriate.
