This is not a turning point. This is the destination. Were you onboard the wrong train?

I'm not sure that's what the article says (there was disruption on some lines because of a problem further down the line.) There certainly would have been trains leaving some platforms. But, interesting that the game is based on l

I have news for you - this is happening, right now, in Big Orgs. It's mind numbingly moronic.

I love this, but I'm thwarted. Apparently there are no trains from London Waterloo (one of the UKs busiest railway stations) at 1902. I've been stuck there waiting for trains for so many years I can tell you that's not the ca

When they say "we" they're opposing this to "US ratepayers", not "our customers". Likely that this will appear on your Anthropic bill.

Certainly in the UK the 'legacy' part of media orgs (print) is still far more profitable than the pennies paid for ad-clicks.

Purely financial shenanigans. Nothing to see here, please move along.

I'm not sure it's a brand name so much as a type of cheese.

Ok, Oslo would be a small city in the UK - London has 12x the population. Madrid is closer. Paris is great - the ride is very smooth.

The problem is this blog post fails the exact same rule of thumb. Predictable confected contrariaism much like so many others.

I guess kudos for doing a deep dive into this, but was it necessary? Aren't all of these types of things (unhappiest day of the year, best day to be born on, age that we're happiest etc) clearly pseudo-scientific/scientistic

This is a shame. Unsure about later models, but my Roomba 620 is eminently repairable. Just last weekend I replaced the wheels with some original (from iRobot). It'll still be going in another 10 years, but the AliExpress sourced parts

This was why I was driven to use Photoprism. I use syncthing-fork to upload from phones, and a custom made thing to copy them to folders (this also works with Cameras that aren't phones). https://www.photoprism.app/
