I wonder if laws could be passed demanding a certain uptime, with very hefty fines on failure. Want to be an electric company? Sure thing boss, but that entails obligations akin to taxi companies needing their cars to be safe to drive on pu

Yup. I've heard many people express similar sentiments, it's like magic. Even crazier is that you can take these mushy blends of AI and merge them together willy nilly yet get viable results with traits from both, with no regard t

This is an extremely simplified explanation but basically it just multiplies the floats with each other (plus some conditional logic) and that's that, the numbers that it ends up with are translated to letters* It's surprisingly s

Sure, but they would still just be a whole long list of floats. There wouldn't be any context based on property names to gleam out of the JSON, just a long long long long list of floats.

Normal ads are perfectly fine to show, so it's only the privacy violation that's in question. I genuinely don't think you should have even the ability to give up your privacy, for the same reason we don't allow people to

Wasn't Meta the company that started using 2-factor phone numbers for targets of advertisements?

It is happening, Walmart was doing it to their cashiers, and why shouldn't they? It's a huge boon to companies to make it difficult and expensive for people to quit their jobs in favor of something better, it means they can push w

In what universe is it a good compromise that fast food workers aren't allowed to work at another fast food restaurant for 6 months after they quit, without any compensation? It incentivize companies to add it to their contract just be

You don't understand, V3 is very important to enhance user privacy. Details about how it will decrease user privacy must fall to the wayside in favor of the important goal of increasing user privacy. And the secondary effects of it als

For me it's four, my brain just instantly recognizes that there are four things, that instant pairing of pairings: oooo Five is a bit more iffy, I can obviously tell quickly that there are five things, but then it feels like it's

Not quite, minify JS can be "beautified" to get pretty reasonable JS back, sans variables and functions having letters for names as you noted. But this is because obfuscated JS is still valid JS, it's just made ugly. Obfuscat

Somebody in the new management probably needed to stir things up and show that they have a vision and direction that will take the company to new heights, which includes drastic measures like firing those holding the company back, or who we

Long after the last human logs off we still have to run it because it will be the primary economical engine of tech.

It's certainly a great flexibility to have access to those kind of things, that's why a lot of technical people also like command line utilities. But honestly there is no reason to not also provide GUIs for using these features.

The fundamental issue isn't that some technologies are "off", lots of high-level research into things like mathematics and tech has absolutely no direct practical application. Lots of things are done with the mindset of &quot

Decentralization not only means that you need 50%+1 of miners to accept, but also that there isn't a centralized driving authority to kick-start banning initiatives like that.

They should simply have gone the the industry standard route and lobbied to make it illegal to squeeze the bags by hand.

The thing is, there isn't one singular measure of value in terms of how the product can be "bad" or "good". I've very often seen less experienced engineers make stuff that helps a specific customer (good), but

Can't just construction workers bounce to a new job if their existing job is abusing them, asking them to work under unsafe conditions, etc? It would seem abuse can only happen if they can't find another job. Regulations about how

You'll have no argument from me that protection and regulation can go too far. But have you considered that as you were traveling across different countries, you'd be biased towards seeing the problems that affect you (finding a n

As long as "legal reason" includes a reasonable list of reasons I don't see a problem with such a law. There is an inherent huge power imbalance between the landlord and the renter, where if the landlord ad-hoc decides to thr

Unless the wages of doctors, nurses, hospital staff and the employees of drug companies have gone up 200% the last 20 years I seriously doubt they are the root cause.

You aren't wrong, but this has been a dilemma with every new technology. The camera had that effect, modern metalworking had that effect, even tractors had that effect. It's definitely a problem we should be talking about, but we

Would that mean that instead of obj.pipeTo() I'd have to call obj[PIPE_TO] or something like that?
