Of course. Literally every time I search anything in my native language on incognito youtube or a fresh instagram, I immediately get suggested propaganda videos from the local far-right party. Who needs ads when you've got The Algori

Have you opened a twitter thread? People are insane on social media, why should open source social media be substantially different? x)

Absolutely! Proptesting is a great but underutilised feature. I use it a lot wherever I'm in a language which makes it easy (and with a mature library for that), like Haskell, Ocaml, or Rust.

Nonsense. The pre-check can literally be one line (if common_case {fast_path()} else {slow_path()}), and thus enabling or disabling it is dead simple and obvious if the problem changes in the future. Lines of thinking like that are part of

I wouldn't attach grand meanings to that. Most cultures in Europe do have a socially polite "how are you"/"ça va"/"tudo bem"/whatever to which you're expected to reply some variation of

Maybe they should be at least charged for the catastrophic externalities that that "preference" results in.

Exceedingly insightful, gonna switch from reading Krugman's columns to reading your comments.

Apples to oranges. Digital Euro would be a public service maintained by the ECB, not a for-profit entity. Their interest is in maintaining transactions in the Eurozone as low friction as possible, not to bleed their customers dry after a mo

Krugman had a long-standing opinion column. Always a pleasure to read, even though many capitalists don't like what he has to say.

Portugal the same. I heard there's an initiative to unify all national Tikkies/Mbways/Pixes and make them inter-compatible.

There's no food smart guy, who's he going to buy food from?? [0] His motorcycle is also his only means of transportation and thus his livelihood likely depends on it. Even if he could pawn it for 2 days of food for his family, s

That's literally what overfitting means. Side-note: it's also yet more evidence that AI companies hoover all data with no regard for legality or copyright status, the very same offences that got other people in jail or with heavy

Fusion is incredibly safe with none of the risks of runaway reactions like in fission.

Emails and GSM calls yes, obviously. But e.g. Signal communications? You need a Pegasus-tier exploit for that, which means that unless you're high profile enough you should be safe.

How does the state prohibit illegal drugs? They will never be able to eradicate it, obviously, but the state can make it incredibly hard to acquire and use cryptocurrency.

You can clearly see this by comparing the formula1 subreddit and, say, the football (soccer) subreddit. One is mostly plays and goals and tactics, the other is mostly ig drama :)

Have you considered taking a measly 20 seconds out of your day—surely a fraction of the time you took to type this comment—to google this information? Another point: have you considered that the authorities and people of the Netherlands, a

It's not a revolutionary idea. That I know of, the Netherlands does it, somewhat. How it works is: rather than taxing capital gains, with its myriad loopholes and counterloopholes, you tax assets directly: assume a neutral sort of &quo

Are they? Or are they there to outcompete ordinary people for houses, labour, etc? We don't need a bigger market for luxury dog sitters or sports car manufacturing, better allocate those resources for childcare, elder care, or other ch

There's no proof that this is not made up, let alone any shred of transparency or reproducibility. There are trillions of dollars at stake in hyping up these products; I take everything these companies write with a cartload of salt.

It's the consequence of growth capitalism. When it's not enough to make money, you have to make more money this quarter than you did last, then it's really only a matter of time until everything is monetised under the excl

And what were the methods? How was the evaluation? They could be making it all up for all we know!

Am I missing something or is this completely meaningless? It's 100% opaque, no details whatsoever and no transparency or reproducibility. I wouldn't trust these results as it is. Considering that there are trillions of dollars on

It's funny and edgy for adult segments as well, unfortunately. Advertising works.

I've been using uBlock in advanced mode with 3rd party frames and scripts blocked. I recommend it, but it is indeed a pain to find the minimum set of things you need to unblock to make a website work, involving lots of refreshing. Once

So you're surprised that people are siding with Europe blindly, but you're "assuming by default" that you should side with Meta blindly. Perhaps it's easier to actually look at the points in contention to form your

Lol, so meta. Also: very sad, but it would be great if it was just imgur doing this; it's the whole internet.
