While we are at it, please also reject the framing of "sideloaded" apps. This framing pushes the use of legitimately installed, often high-quality, software to the periphery. This framing is an essential step in extinguishing our

Well, if Dutch is your second language for sure it is difficult to see. "Gamen" is one of those anglicisms that has made it into the language, with ugly but in this case useful conjugations: Ik game met je (I (play a) game w

Although strictly speaking it is wrongly spelled as you mentioned, you missed that "Game met je" means "to (play a) game with you (or someone)", which could contract to "gametje" as well (and a similar contract

Of course I don't expect these businesses to be charities, but I do expect them to uphold their side of the bargain. The basic bargain of sportsbetting legalization is that sportsbooks are allowed to legally operate (retain a license)

I am handling a lot of vectors of size 6 or less with integers of values lower than 500.000. I am packing individual vectors in a u128, which comes down to 6*19 + a 3 bit length field = 117 bits with 11 bit left to spare. I chose u128 inste

I would argue that a word is typable is an edge case, especially dealing with another language. You can type words in basic latin script, sure, but you forget words with letters with diacritics, or even all words in non-latin script. In the

Wait, does that also mean bars have to police what people are watching on their phone, otherwise risking big fines? E.g. I go to the pub, have a drink and watch some random LaLiga match on my phone?

Stupid criminals disproportionally get caught. Selective pressure on the intelligence of criminals will cause them to become more intelligent. You now need even more draconian legislation to disproportionally keep catching the intelligence-

In the Netherlands, live streaming of Premier League matches is done by Viaplay (I'm guessing in other countries too?). Their service is very spotty, lots of buffering, especially during highly dynamic (e.g. important) parts of the mat

Maybe, but that depends on facebook's ability to filter that data.. The filtering should be be easy for my inactive-for-10-years FB account that suddenly uploads a bunch of garbage data. Mixing in genuine data seems antithetical especi

Indeed, and asking facebook to delete the data or to not use it for AI training is just another data point indicating you care about it. Your preferences will eventually be stripped through redesigns, refactors, careless usage or facebooks

JavaScript's weak typing and implicit type conversions get in the way of reasonability though: >>> '13' % 2 0 >>> 'nan' % 2 NaN >>> NaN % 2 NaN >>> null % 2 0

This does not make much sense. A 10% fee is acceptable if the alternative is significantly lowered sales (50% +) due to increased friction in the money transactions.. So if they are not declining on ethical grounds, and the merchant will de

Sounds like an interesting concept, a "work as you please" approach where compensation is unrelated to your hours worked (and ofcourse it being at least some livable amount).

It was a trap. Clickbait to get every privacy-minded tech enthusiast on their site. Now, simply because they interacted with the page, facebook, in their opinion, gets a blank cheque to track you wherever they wish, on and off-site.

Additionally, the ones, whose ad-induced distraction would most benefit society, will not see these ads as they will likely not take the subway.

by Phemist 2y ago
At a society level, ads are paid for with the opportunity cost of other things that people could be thinking about, e.g. cancer-curing drugs. We can therefore say that ads cause cancer.
