About 7-8 years ago it was almost impossible to avoid Neo4j in tech circles, certainly in London. They must have had the most incredible funding - the PR was nonstop and wall-to-wall.

Yet another example of AI driving us back to analogue. There's no obvious way of identifying AI content on StackOverflow, and there's a financial imperative to having a high score on there. So one would expect it to get gamed into

Yep, a lot of companies would bin them for unconscious bias reasons too.

Being rather contrary here, but is there any evidence that bullying actually improves some people's lives? As a victim of childhood bullying, the experience was awful, but I learned a thing or two as well.

Yeah, fair point!

I feel a bit cheated by this. She fed in only 13,000 characters because more would be expensive. Fair play, you're an artist so it's all about the concept but the lack of follow-through here is disappointing.

With extraterritoriality. And if identifying people in this way is covered (I'm not a lawyer, I'm not claiming it definitely is), then it's also possible that EU citizens using the tool are committing a criminal offence.

Well, interesting. This is one of the reasons we have the GDPR. @costco, if I were to make a GDPR erasure request, would you service it? And I'm no lawyer, but it seems like there's also an outside chance of a breach of section 17

An eggcorn is a soundalike though, isn't it? Deliberately altering idioms to catch people's attention isn't an eggcorn IMO.

If this is just a link to a bunch of PDFs, then presumably PDF malware is an issue here. I would have thought computer books would be a fine vector to choose if you were trying to compromise websites and business systems.

> Kaizen and Ikigai comes to mind. I can understand that though - without the translation, the terms become more specific in English usage. Take Kaizen, or Continuous Improvement. Specifically using the Japanese term shows what sort of c

GK Chesterton made similar points to you, but about religious orientalism, in "The Everlasting Man".

We have a wonderful opportunity to reestablish some of the old kingdoms in England as states in a federal United Kingdom. Duchies of Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria, Lancaster, London, Yorkshire and so on (as well as Scotland and Wales) with bo

Can confirm to some extent - I started out in data analytics for call centres, and important episodes of Eastenders et al would completely bork the demand predictions by causing exactly the pattern of depressed traffic followed by a massive

Hilarious. Yesterday it was "in fish", today it's "in mice".

As this operates in the "Open Spectrum" I suspect it's very geographically constrained, as the spectrum is allocated differently from country to country. I would have to check but I'm not sure there's an equivalent

Did they alter it for foreign markets? Some very US centric questions there.

What, you reckon first or second line tech support would recognise that as the Unix epoch?

In a British style constitutional monarchy, it is the job of the monarch to resolve these sorts of stalemates. The title is absurd.

It was trivially easy back in the day to use DOS DEBUG to rewrite COMMAND.COM so that instead of giving an error message like "Command not understood" or whatever the default was, it instead responded with, eg: "My hovercraft

Well presumably if there is a significant penalty for making a false patent assertion, then placing the assertion in the hands of a very small company would simply bankrupt that company in the case of the penalty coming due, and the real ow

They're referring to contract law, though. Free speech isn't the legal bit here.

Oh not this old canard again. The US constitutional guarantee of freedom from government interference in speech is just one aspect of the matter . If private companies own every method of articulating your views, and are preventing you fro
