A couple of months ago I went with a friend of mine to get a kebab in a place we haden't been before. It was a very large restaurant in an important street of town, and yet it was mostly empty and the kebab was very below average. Ther

I think these institutions believe that more diversity ----> more inclusivity and less racism. How would a racist indian national deeply entrenched in caste culture help my company be less racist? How would an asian supremacist laotian

Go to a shopping center, or a sporting event, or any other place where people publicly gather en masse and ask yourself how many of them could realistically get around on foot. There are a lot of very fat people, old people, disabled people

It should simply be a new "hey guys, look at this cool prompt I came up with" category. Using AI for easy upvotes, unwarranted clout or spam should be banned.

It's not surprising, but I find very cute the fact that the further you are from the center the older the security cameras are.

In all fairness, as longs as patents exist you simply can't "open up" a piece of technology. What you can do is reverse engineer it, since it's allowed becausenof the manufacturer's drop of support

It's crazy how much of a rabbit hole reccomendations are. I wish I could disable the "explore" page on every social media I use, it would be heaven

This is really mind boggingly, meaning that there is an actual discrete valicable limit of what can be determined and what can't. Turing machine with 4 states? Cool. Turing machine with 5 states? Sorry, it goes beyond ZFC maths!

Computers are mind boggingly empowering, the problem is always the ignorance of people. Today you can go to a dumpster and take home a perfectly working computer able to run Linux and an capable office suite. With said office suite you are

Joe Rogan is able to produce a podcast in which the topics covered and the tones used are not really dictated by advertisers. This is as good and independent as it gets. The podcast should be a prime example of what the web should be about:

If a company stores data about you, they WILL give it ALL to law enforcement. How to avoid this? Don't store any data, as simple as that. Use p2p E2EE services. The server will only orchestrate between connections but no actual data wi

I agree. Also every software engineer should have written a compiler, a scheduler, a device driver, a small kernel, an IEEE compliant floating point library and a 3D raytracer in their free time between 30 courses by the time they have comp

Why are you suggesting proprietary software when talking about a device that exists mainly to run FOSS?

On the other hand, I hate mine. Worse connectivity than the first cell phones from the 90s, worse applications than the first feature phones from the early 2000s, worse performance than the first smartphones from the late 2000s. As of toda

Yes, that was the point of my comment. Seeing that it even got flagged I can sense people here are treading on thin ice for some reason

The code maintainer (or owner) makes the code available to the world without asking for anything in return, but if you send him a patch he is somehow obligated to implement it? (I'm not saying this is what you're implying) Open So

Imagine you ran a personal twitter account where you posted your jokes but allowed people to send theirs via email and occasionally publish them. Would you find inappropriate to tell people "yeah this joke almost kinda works but it&#x2

Everything is a compromise. This optical design manages to be f/2.5 most probably because it does nothing to correct the plenty of aberration and defects it produces. Also f-numbers are deceptive regarding brightness and we should see

If I sell courses about Windows, can I claim that Windows makes money? Your comparison is incorrect because you wrote a program whereas the guide didn't set up the trail or build infrastructure to hike on the mountains

Unlike your banking website or other critical software, if you find an unlocked phone there are no barriers put in place to make sure it's really you who wants to send a text message. I don't think those barriers should be there,

TIL: upload child porn on a secret website, take someone's device, send said image and delete the chat, get his account banned with no possibility of reversal. Thank God for AI, planting evidence and automatically ruining someone'

You have listed many companies that do many different things so I don't really know what you mean. But in any case, how would a natively European competitor benefit Europe? Are we talking about money, jobs or what exactly?

Could you give an example of a technology that needs to be scaled up in Europe?

You can't. If your people do not feel the need to live humbly and serve their country they are going to flock elsewhere to the highest bidder. If a German engineer finds $30k/y after tax to be an unacceptable salary what are you g
