Nothing new or surprising was learned, the skeptics say 'see!' the 'believers' will disregard. And it's fine. Most people don't believe tarot cards are really some magical thing, it's just an interactive a

That's a bit of a don't shoot the messenger imo. If the construction of a house may be compromised and cannot be verified, it is prudent to not mortgages the house. Don't blame the lenders for that, blame the vendors. I can s

Great idea, i have a 'etagere's and bowls on each surface basically. Most of the time i know where stuff is, if not i know fairly certain in which 'pen' it is. It also really helps to be conscious of where you put someth

Lol, yeah, that is why the american auto industry is in the shitter. Not because the japanese comapnies could make cars better, cheaper and quicker. Aside from ride-height, these vehicles are much lower standing.

This summarises my experience and view so well. I recently started work at a new company that tries to turn everyone in to a cog. No agency, every step requires other teams and people that may or may not respond. It's maddening. It is

The marketing department strikes again! When I was younger we made a joke about how there was 'the commission' that made everything suck more. Just to fuck with us. For instance making sure hot dogs come per 8, but buns per 6. Or

Already exists, demo by some dutch(?) privacy expert on how much info he can get out of you and just from your picture. I showed it to a colleague from marketing as a 'look how bad up this is!' They asked 'cool, can we do tha

And yet it can't replicate a human support agent. Or even a basic search function for that matter ;)

I bet staged rollout are on some poor PO's backlog. We don't have the bandwidth for such niceties! :')

Eh, no? I've never tested payment code using real payments. Ever. The idea of doing it with real payments is pretty out there in my book even :) Then again, every payment provider/bank I've integrated with, had decent testing

Doesn't have to get even worse than it already is. I don't live on times square and prefer to keep it that way. I will not roll over and take it just because it's not that much worse.

Yes, but this is not about the PR, it is about the discussion. The dates are shown very clearly in many places too. ffs

Not true. Look at the documentation, authy or sms.

Without trying to take a stance on this, I do have to say I like the FastGPT feature that comes with Kagi. It basically does a search and uses those results to answer questions. Now I'd just want it to have a better UI with history and

Release their own phone? Really? That is not really better then apple, is it?

Then I think you underestimate your marketing prowess; because these are not obvious things to everyone. For me building cloud infrastructure is easy, the choices and tradeoffs are obvious to me. To all my colleagues in the past 16 years it

I think it's more of a question of how often do people just want to make something nice and not deal with managing a community and the idiots making demands and threats that come with it. Mind you, this happens regardless, but it get&#

not op, but I think they mean the data is complex, heterogeneous and noisy. You won't be able to extract meaning trivially from it, you need something to find the (hidden) meaning in the data. So AI currently, probably ;)

Not really how it works, GDPR protects individuals and allow them to request deletion with the data owner. They need to then, within 60(?) days, respond to any request. Google has nothing to do with that beyond having to make sure their inf

Spotify, another great example of the VC funded tech cancers that came to disrupt and turned out to be even worse then what came before… We deserve this shit, because we keep buying into it

Same for me, if your product asks me to login with google I'm out. Just out. I've considered, for instance, getting a fair phone. But the only way to get a pre-de-googled one is through a third party at a 20% premium..

I've been waiting for 10 years for a A4 e-ink device. Only Sony made one, but it was never available anywhere. And pretty meh probably too :) Remarkable 2 was pretty decent for notes, but terrible for reading imo. And the bs to get a p
