They sent push notifications to their users promoting Nazi content, to users that did not sign up to receive Nazi content. And rather than fixing the problem -- that they host and embrace Nazi content -- they said they fixed the notificatio

These are the same folks that removed the very useful Google cache feature because people weren't using it any more. What they forgot to say is they hid the feature beforehand. Of course they have more AI queries every day. They have f

How much power could we get out of the fuel required to launch a 20-100kW rack in to space, if we were to burn it on the ground?

I wouldn't want to use anything that earn them money, if I could avoid it. That it was half the population doesn't change my view. I understand that it is difficult for me to shun (which is basically what I'm talking about) s
