The way forward seems to be radically restrictive licensing and having a lawyer's phone number at hand. I used to be a strong critic of copyright laws and fondly remember when the Internet promised to be a world of freely flowing infor

This strict separation seems to be a major source of the problem, though. Raising a family used to be a communal effort. Having kids didn't mean having to sacrifice being one's own person, and having an atrophied social life. The

I feel you. I'm a rather social person and generally enjoy social interactions, but reading this article reminded me more of the dreaded "career networking" (I refuse to believe in the existence of people who actually enjoy n

My experience is similar. I used to never find the "right time" to ask people to meet up. It got worse over time, because now it had been so long, I felt bad for not reaching out and maybe they didn't really want to keep in t

Yes to smart filtering at the right layer. The whole reverse DNS checks et al. are so effective. I recently moved my personal mailbox from a host who didn't do these kinds of checks to one that does. My received spam volume instantly w

I honestly don't know what else Putin would need to say or do to convince you that he is, in fact, a fascist bent on world domination. He's not exactly been shy about it.

There are some. But my guess is that there's so few because nobody wants to pay for journalism anymore. Reporters want to get paid, especially if they're going to work in a warzone.

You don't know if it's the same people. I highly doubt many of them are. It's true that "Anti-Americanism", or at least Anti-Jingoism, was en vogue for a while in Europe, but I never felt like it was more than a fri

Calling such posts grotesque and unpopular is quite euphemistic. They are aggressive and dehumanizing. And the determination on what should or shouldn't be protected as free speech doesn't happen in a vacuum: these attacks were ta

It was already stolen money. Stolen from the Russian people, by crooks who support a war criminal in his imperialist massacres (the people whose assets are being frozen weren't selected randomly). These oligarchs forfeited their wealth

Whitelisting is still practicable. I use NoScript, and if I have to whitelist scripts from two domains of the company operating the site, while keeping those of the 40 other domains blocked, I still gain something.

Google make up a significant part of Mozilla's income, but Firefox development doesn't make up a similarly significant part of Mozilla's expenses. They could keep browser development going without issue even if Google ditches

I'll challenge you to find any EU member state where free speech is not protected by constitution.

I don't mind the offtopic if it's a nice story like that. I really hope we'll find a way to give the Internet back at least a part of this magic. It makes me sad to see that young people today only know the net as the nightma

That's okay, they should just charge The Zuck with it personally; I'd be fine with that.

I didn't feel like the terrible ending ruined the fun I had with the first five seasons, but I did believe they had a direction in mind through most of it. What I remember bugged me most was that sometime quite early in the show, proba

Timothy Snyder's book "On Freedom" might be a good read for you. It's about this common (but quite recent) fallacy that freedom means only freedom of government interference or oppression, rather than true personal freed

It sounds optional and potentially marginally useful. But I understand the OP's reaction. These days, I'm also conditioned to very quickly dismiss something that initially sounded interesting as soon as I spot those two capital le

I work for a telco, though not in that department. We put a lot of effort into trying to block spam calls, and adapting systems to the newest tricks. The reason why the results aren't better is (I'm being told) a combination betwe

Or it's technical people who have been around for a few of these revolutions, which revolved and revolved until they disappeared into nothing but a lot of burned VC, to recognise the pattern? That's where I'd place my own cyn

Do you ever verify those explanations, though? Because I occasionally try having an LLM summarise an article or document I just read, and it's almost always wrong. I have my doubts that they would fare much better in "understandin

Bing has it. The "Cached" link is in a little dropdown arrow menu behind the result's title. Agreed that the Wayback Machine is not a replacement. There is a long delay before things show up there, if they do at all. If a pag

That's the crucial point, though, you wouldn't have trusted it without checking the source after all. My experience with 4o is that 4 out of 5 answers I check are wildly incorrect or entirely made up, while with the rest, if I cop

My theory would be that the Jr probably generated the code with o1 in the first place. The buggy, nonsensical crap I've seen that thing generate boggles the mind.

Yeah, I have the same. Usually, they do it when I'm on the train and they're in their neoprene cover, in my backpack, cooking themselves until they're too hot to touch. Windows Event Viewer says that it's Windows Update

AFAIK there is no general requirement to ask for consent. For example, to store session tokens or language preferences. A lot of sites probably wouldn't have to show cookie consent prompts, if they don't share profiling data with

It wasn't a play on AltaVista -- Astalavista was actually older than AltaVista! It says so in the Wikipedia article you link to. I also only learned this mindblowing fact a few weeks ago.
