A lot of what makes Deepl great is its UI. Maybe easy to copy, maybe not.

This to me reads like an argument that we should nuke capitalism. (Which I’m not sure is a good ideas, even.) I mean, you are presenting something as inevitable, I just don’t understand why.

That seems like a deeply weird perspective to me because where I’m from (Germany) bail just isn’t a thing. At all. And we do totally fine. Whether or not someone is held in jail before trial is determined by whether there is a risk that the

TVs can do that, Netflix doesn’t have to. Our new top of the line Sony (A95K) has a debanding image setting. (But I think pretty much all Sony TVs have that setting.) However, it doesn’t seem extremely great and tends to smooth out things i

It doesn’t really matter because your analogy makes little sense, but linking to competitors doesn’t work as an analogy for subversion, sedition or treason. I can go to any market place in Germany and lead a demonstration that’s about how G

Network effects are devilish even without ethically just plain evil intervention from the benefactor of those network effects. This is just ethically abhorrent behavior. No good governance.

FIFA has a product that is a glittering diamond for ascending or old (authoritarian) regimes irrespective of whether FIFA exerts any influence on the content itself (the games). That just doesn’t matter and also isn’t necessary so why shoul

If you want to argue for a slippery slope you actually have to argue for causal connecting links. You have to demonstrate how you get from A to B. That why slippery slopes are usually logical fallacies. They do not demonstrate anything. It‘

by arrrg 4y ago
In Germany at least there are several measures in place to make this slippery slope a fallacy (as it usually is) and not realistic. You can pick whether you want to have an ID card or a passport or both. You are not required to carry your I

For a day, for something that was nominally outside their TOS, which lead to strong internal tensions and in the end also was a complete nothingburger that didn’t matter at all. This, to me, clearly seems to be a small mistake with no mater

Sure (in certain jurisdictions). But is that good policy? Obviously not.

Before coalition talks in Germany there are frequently news about politicians visiting this party headquarter or that party headquarter, practically always in real time. All of those are usually not public events. There are no press confere

This is not a way to moderate Twitter or any social plattform. That‘s the pertinent point. It‘s awful governance even if his personal perspective may be understandable. But that doesn’t matter. Still makes this awful governance.

This incident clearly shows why there should be a firewall between owners and moderation. This is in no way a way to run any social media site.

Jury‘s still out on that, mostly because it‘s still up for debate whether replacing gas cars 1:1 with electric cars is a good idea. I don’t doubt that we actually need electric cars, the important question is just whether that’s all we need

General comments tend to paint the world in a stereotypical too broad way that doesn’t reflect reality. They are often misleading and wrong. Clarifying the reason for something is the antidote to that. And you don’t get to weasel out of tha

Yeah, navigating to the camera app doesn’t take long. But flipping a physical switch also doesn’t and startup times of both after the switch is flipped / app is started are about equal. So: with my EVIL camera I also can be taking a ph

by arrrg 4y ago
Doesn’t matter. That‘s just equivalent to the physical switch in time needed (maybe even slower, a double press does require more dexterity) and startup times on phone cameras certainly aren’t faster than dedicated cameras. My iPhone 12 Pro

by arrrg 4y ago
Slow startup times really shouldn’t be an issue in this decade. This is something that was an issue maybe in the early 2000s. You will generally be able to turn on the camera more quickly than you can navigate to the camera app. (Physical s

That’s not at all an argument for dropping AB testing, it’s an argument for being more rigorous, especially since in principle the circumstances under which services with a large active user base can test are downright luxurious. Sociologis

You can create photo montages from actual photos you took. In that way her description would still reflect reality. Or are you claiming she didn’t photograph a snow leopard?

Artists don't need to add disclaimers to their work. They are not journalists. That would be ridiculous. The only relevant question you have to ask yourself is whether she (herself) presented herself as a journalist. If not then this i

fotoforensics.com is not robust in detecting fakes. This still requires human judgement. Naively looking at what you see there and taking it for gospel very likely leads to both false positives and negatives. I think the assumption that you

Those aren’t the only two possible perspectives. I believe systems should be dismantled that reward being competitive and do not reward care work.

Spelling bees aren’t really a thing in Germany, I think mostly because German language is too regular and not idiosyncratic enough when it comes to spelling (unlike English) to make those interesting. Learning correct spelling is still impo

Europe‘s goal has to be to create a world in which Nordstream is not needed anymore. And it was Russia that invaded Ukraine. Obviously military buildup is the correct response to that incredibly callous action. Russia has to lose this war,

Legal requirement, at least in California. Layoffs have to be announced three months in advance. If you want people gone immediately you have to still pay them those three months. Not generous, the bare legal minimum.

Seems awful that US laws allows that. In Germany there is a hard upper cap at 48 hours/week for any normal employee (like pretty much everyone working at Twitter would be). Up to 60 hours/week can be legal if the average in four m
