   I don't care how many downvotes I get. An article about discrimination against marginalized groups in tech was flagged by "TechBro8615" because he is sick of "sociopolitical drivel." You can't make this shit up

   The Spark EV was one of the best vehicles I have every owned. Quiet, snappy, fun to drive, easy to park, and surprisingly roomy. I lost count of the number of times passengers were shocked by the rear doors. It did everything I needed it to

   My point was that everything they were they were trying to patent was an obvious trick of the trade. They were trying to patent thing along the lines of: generate->filter->rank. It's how basically any recommendation engine works

   I check for it every few months. If they do publish it, I plan on filing a challenge with the PTO. It has now been long enough that I don't think it will be published.

   When I was at one of the FAANGs, the corporate legal people wanted to make a patent for a recommendation system I was the tech lead on. They called me into a room with two patent layers for a disclosure meeting. In general, I have an issue

    This seems very Stockholmy. $BIGCORP is interpreting law beyond what is actually says and is using the automated systems of $MONOPOLYCORP to make life harder for this one person for doing things well within their rights because he decided t

    Oh I know! It's Fox News guest Johanthan Turley! The different between Turley and ChatGPT is that ChatGPT doesn't have a TV circuit where it can spread its lies unpromped on a nightly basis.

    Well that was a giant nothing-burger. This seems to be your standard ranking stack. We find candidates based on who you follow, who they follow, who is trending, and what we think you like. We then rank them based on how likely you are to e

    Utah is small enough that some sites may just geoblock Utah. I know if I had to choose between collecting every user's ID ever and just adding a block list, I'd go with the second.
