Airlines should get more strict with regards to the overhead bin. Both with bag size and placement. Planes can probably fit a certain sized bag for everyone who brings one, but too many flyers seem to intentionally bring bigger bags or plac

There's so much misplaced anger based on not knowing who was president in 2020 (and the start of 2021).

This is probably survivorship bias or familiarity bias more than anything. Music from the 80s/90s that is popular today has stood the test of time; there's a lot more music from these decades that we don't hear today &

It’s great to see homages to the 80’s such as this design by James White of Signalnoise for the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon video game — chrome, check; grid, check; lightning, check. Yep, that’s the 80’s. Does anyone else (maybe over 40 yo) s

Governments do a lot of wildly unpopular things. I can't speak specifically for Switzerland, but one recent example is UK's Online Safety Act 2023. Even related to drivers, speed cameras are enabled despite being unpopular.

Auto industry is pretty powerful, worldwide, but also particularly locally around Switzerland. I mean powerful enough to shape people's opinions and sway regulations.

As a child I did most of those things offline. Hell, I bought tickets to R rated movies too. I know people who made fake ID's. I've been to parties where the hosting parents didn't care if we had a screwdriver before we were

Why do you think this was the first step? That these folks have not been engaged with: information, compassion, alternative news sources, pleas to think twice about what they read on Facebook? Why do you think these folks haven't liste

According to the article, bad papers are getting criticized and retracted. It appears "science" is robust enough to work as intended, even with some bad actors involved.

They could easily do the same thing ahead of the meeting, and you'd have much shorter meetings. To highlight two ways to go about this, we can assign homework, or assign, for lack of a better word, meetingwork. We don't always k

What is an AI interview going to glean that it can't already from a resume? The power imbalance is already so far tipped to the employer side. This verbiage doesn't even consider the applicant a human with time worth saving or wor

Yes. In practice, Palantir enables obfuscation of the "fruit of the poisonous tree". Enabling a parallel construction in a surveillance state should draw hate, as it weakens the fourth amendment.

Thanks in part, no doubt, to massive funding from Peter Thiel (and of course others) on issues/candidates that lead to restricting freedom.

This is more a function of dense population centers. Having lived in many places, I went out more in the denser areas. There are more options and they are all up and down the price spectrum. In sparse areas, going to the same few options ov

Oppose the bill based on freedom, as in speech. This comes above all else. Arguing over what is or isn't piracy is a non-sequitor when it comes to government censorship of the Internet.

If it comes to it, cops, 311 and probably other means are available. It's possible to enforce and court is not needed.

Movements that want to grow should accept people who change their minds when the situation changes, they get new data, or they learn a new perspective. The situation hasn't changed. The data is the same going back years. It's he

Seems hardly something worthy of arresting, let alone jailing someone. That the current PM's party, FdI, is a neo-fascist political party should also help add some context.

In this sense, LLMs don’t really change anything. The same person operating the tool will continue to be the same person in either case. I don't understand why more people don't get this. I've told everyone who will listen

Yeah, are there any big box retailers selling machines with Linux installed as an option? Maybe the numbers are small enough for hobbyists to make a dent, but until you see Linux machines in best buy, etc., this is probably due more to peop

Yeah, I can see where the author is coming from, but it's kinda effortless to dismiss a ~2hr movie with a five sentence critique of a few scenes or lines of dialog. I'd much rather see the author go deep on one movie than shallowl
