What kind of civil authority doesn't block the entrance of a bridge that's under (re)construction? Expecting Google to keep abreast of worldwide road damage is a bit of a stretch.

Luxury apartments do reduce the housing shortage. Cashed up boomers can move out of the nice family home they've been living in since the kids left and upgrade/downsize. Building the high end and having people move up helps with t

As long as it's optional and they still allow BYOD it's a good solution for some customers.

The service you receive is made better just by the presence of competition.

"Businesses will lie to customers and regulators as much as they're allowed to get away with because it's good for profits." Either the customer or regulator needs to hold companies to account. In an industry that is a n

Interesting, but not much to the article. I imagine it's harder to do propaganda across diverse websites. Methods would need to vary which increases costs.

Farmers can get extremely attached to one piece of land and one farming method and any attempts to shift the incentives in the system and make some types of farming or locations move on is portrayed as a systemic attack on farming and the e

Good luck. In the less cohesive Western countries efforts like this are met with both protest by farmers who view their providing calories as almost a sacred task, and by foreign agitprop that proposes any effort that makes it harder to far

Inform them of consequences if they don't make your, hopefully reasonable, changes. Consequences can range from inconvenient to existential.

No, the GP means literal poison. Neurotoxin, specifically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Sergei_and_Yulia_...

I'm not interested in participating in your 'whatabout those evil European colonisers'. Pointing to historical colonies and injustice to excuse worse from Russia now isn't adding to the conversation.

This perspective on conscription is odd to me. Countries do conscription during existential wars. The Allies used conscription in WW2. Was that wrong?

Russia has a 3x larger population and so far has had the luxury of being able to pay (relatively) extremely high wages to entice people to go.

But for the French they all got rid of their colonies. Russia's historical land empire lives on, and the breakup of their most recent greater one is mourned by their current leader. Lets have some perspective.

If the work you're doing isn't valuable then eventually economic reality will hit, the money will run out and the businesses from China that are actually disciplined and productive will take your market share.

That's just Google boiling the frog slowly.

Chrome isn't being run bad because of committee, it's being run bad because it's used by Google as part of their web advertising empire.

I'm amazed this survived the filtered training data and reinforcement learning. Does anyone have any speculations as to how it could occur?

I think it's the perception that your comment assumes that the accusations by Polymarket that the Biden admin are targeting them for predicting Trump are true.

Imo there's a difference between propaganda promoting functioning democracy and propaganda promoting conservative-at-best authoritarianism.

Name and shame. In the absence of adequate government protections, only company reputation protects consumers from exploitation.

If you can't compete directly due to US export restrictions on cutting edge chips, then leverage the worldwide non-commercial sector. At least to start with. Facebook took the same strategy when faced with the prospect of training mode

I wonder what storied man-of-the-people and "very stable genius" Donald Trump will have to say on this matter? Will his FCC chair appointment be on the side of the people, or will there be another 'unfortunate accident'

I could not care less what a comedian calls Trump, John Oliver isn't in a position of trust and power, leading the nation, supposedly our best and brightest.

It's just a technique to make her sound more other and less likable. Same with Trump's habit of stressing "Barack Hussein Obama" and more broadly the insulting nicknames he had (has?) for people.

But we already prohibit children from drinking alcohol. How is social media any different?

What about trying to steal the last election and deliberately interrupting the peaceful transfer of power? First President to not attend the inauguration of his successor for 150 years.

The way the Republicans all started to pronounce her name as Kuh-mul-ah instead of the correct Ka-ma-la was particularly grotesque to me.
