This is honestly not a bad idea. And could be done in parallel. I even think that it might not need a mandate, if camera manufacturers start making it as a marketing claim. Prove your work is authentic and not AI generated!

Independent of section 240 or other laws, I would argue that search engine operators are content publishers as soon as we don't know how they choose the order of the results. Same for social media feeds. Curating is a form of publishin

In school when we got introduced to calculator, the teacher told us that he was not here to teach it to us. Only maybe guide us, we had a few lessons of us sitting down with the manual and having to learn (mostly by ourselves, but he would

I really think that you are onto something there. Or maybe a bloat index calculating the ratio between user content and downloaded content. Like 1kB of text but with 2 MB of JavaScript/CSS etc would give you an index of 2000 whereas if

A big part of learning is also in the social interaction. VR, no matter how good, will just never match that. You don't only need information, you also need interactions, real life interaction... I think VR might help to some subject

I would say that this is not specific to aeronautics. It works also for other engineering fields. I find there is always an uncanny beauty in simple, elegant and efficient design usually. Be it software, mechanics or electronics. I am sure

I don't see what is naive. The EU has never said that you can't have ads. You can do ads without using and selling user data. For instance, you can have contextual ads (depending on what you read, not who you are) or just random a

Well, that is a rather clever use of Facebook Ads. I knew a guy who tried to use them as a dating service, I guess the lack of incentive is what made his trial fail...

Have you ever heard of https://commoncrawl.org/ ? Maybe it helps you to bootstrap. It's cool to see some new things happening in the search engine world.

Thank you for you answer. Would doing without districts altogether for federal legislator be a possibility? And on state level you could model on the congress with one chamber based on districts' majority and one other on population?

That's something I never understood from the US (I am not from there). From those kind of article I kind of get the impression that every election occurs with different voting district. If that is the case it is extremely confusing. I

Would the mods also enforce said rules? Would everything has to go through them? Or do they just check that they are followed? What happens with what is not conform?

That is so right. In fact one of the best organization I ever lived was in a small company (<30 employees) and everything was just organized in folders. Just Folders, no special tool, no wiki, nothing. In fact the main document describin
