You recall correctly. And they did so, so they could take bribes with no consequences as long as they take them the right way.

Indeed. Who holds the government accountable to its own laws?

Scrap metal and sellable parts as well. Most likely a SIM card you can get a bunch of free internet out of too.

I am in this boat. My employer tracks daily copilot usage, and has gamified it across teams. I ask SME's questions, and I get AI generated responses. The message it sends is this: don't bother me; I can't be bothered, just

We've kicked the can down the road. Stuff used to cost more; now we make everything out of plastic overseas. Once all of those economies are wealthy enough to start caring about the environment (and I'm convinced we'll get

NIMBYism is more of a socio-economic class than it is associated with a political ideology.

I've seen a lot of people sharing similar sentiments just because it's Microsoft executives. These executives came up through engineering. These are not MBA's. Russinovich famously founded Winternals (now Sysinternals), and

If you've never worked in a call center, or in a technical support role, it can be hard to understand just how inarticulate people are on average. Even programmers. ...And how much brainpower goes into understanding what people like t

The only way we own a web of our own is to develop much more of a culture of leaving smallish machines online all the time. Imagine something like Tor or BitTorrent, but everyone has a very simple way of running their own node for content

Indeed. He thought it was not AI slop, but the kind of low-effort slop ruining Facebook. Your opinions may vary, but this is not one of those super clickbaity social media personalities; people like her because she's funny.

I agree with most of this, but complaining about Yoleendadong is some "Old man yells at cloud" stuff. My wife is a big fan, as she has a lot of funny content specific to Asian cultures. Yes, she has some relationship stuff too.

Every cloud provider worth talking about is there too. Both public and sovereign/gov data centers. And of course all the privately owned ones too. It is bananas. Not just because of government either - low ping times to the biggest

Which one lets them hoover up more data? Probably the desktop app. Which one lets them display more ads? Probably the site. For my money, I've always felt like they've tried to force me to use their messenger app on my phone. A

People say they have mixed luck, but my daily driver I bought from the Dell Refurbished site, which is actually refurbed laptops used by FedEx I guess. It's a 2018 model, and has an NVidia Quadro M2200 and 32gb of RAM. 200 bucks out

I'm absolutely on board that "jerky" may mean something else. But on balance - he kept on staff a professional chef of some acclaim who was known for selling amazing jerky at his restaurant. That restaurant incidentally incl

Or offer it in countries with lax copyright. The industry will find ways to work around it. But - as another poster pointed out - Wikipedia offers this, and still gets hammered by scrapers. Why buy when free, I guess?

Proposed solution: Sell a "truck full of DAT tapes" type service to AI scrapers with snapshots of the IA. Sort of like the cloud providers have with "Data Boxes". It will fund IA, be cheaper than building and maintainin

I don't donate whole blood too often (they usually want me for platelets every 2 weeks if they can get it). https://versiti.org/ways-to-give/about-blood-donation/blood-... 56 days or 8 weeks for whole blood.

The amount of breathless conclusion jumping from citizen journalists has been completely bananas as well. I had to tell a friend of mine to take a break from it. The level of tinfoil hat theories (example: cannibalism) which people are now

2 months for whole blood IIRC. You can do every 2 weeks for platelets, but I am not sure if that removes the crud or not. There's other donations with varying frequency (red, plasma, etc.).

I can appreciate the argument, but it also lends itself to (as Jello Biafra famously said), "Ban Everything" thinking. I guess an example for your proposal is the gun laws for not allowing convicted domestic abusers firearms. But
