In no way getting a PhD or doing published research is an act of science or human progress, and it's been like that for probably 20 years. It's an act of coordinated methodology in showing respect to previous peers by acknowledgin

Travel agents are not extinct AT ALL. They pivoted from selling margin-less flights to design more curated travel packages. Different and nichier market for sure, but not extinct.

I have a PhD and I completely support AI disrupting the field. If AI disrupts your field, the culprit is most likely not AI.

Sharing them would be interesting. However, it is getting nonsensical that this is needed.

Honest question: isn't AI Google better than the Standard Google of the past 2 years? I mean all the privacy concerns are still there, but the current product is just better than the SEO SPAM-ridded result page we used to have.

"If they already use it, why should I buy it?" It sounds like a trivial question to answer, but it just exposes the level of detachment that exists between who makes the purchase decisions and its users in SME context.

I warmly recommend to go see the TV documentary about this guy they made some time ago, when I saw the videogame I immediately recognised him.

Servant leaders die very fast when your own reports undermine your efforts at being one. A bad boss doesn't undermine it, bad reports yes. It would be an otherwise ideal way of working.

Fascinating, but I have photo-sensitivity and continuous blinking would give me an headache. But I used to reproduce a similar behaviour with music (repetitive)

Starfield companions would've frown upon this solution. More seriously though: 10 years is a long time, this is super interesting but one would wonder if in such time other limiting dengue factors might've arose.

Very cringy. I am sure there are a lot good things Apple is doing on the matter, but that segment was super cringe-worthy in its delivery. And needlessly long. edit: I don't mind the loud virtue signaling, I just think its delivery was

Or homebridge. Anyway as soon as you configure the phillips hue lights through homekit you never have to use their app ever.

Aside from the suggestions, sometimes having a third-party processor "visible" is kind of helpful in case your website is not super well-known, because it gives "trustworthiness". I know it's 2023, but yeah, mistrus

EU fails to understand that if my market widely adopts Teams as a mean of communication, I will use it to conduct my business regardless of what the EU gov thinks about it. But when they regulate the unbundling and Microsoft might make me p

I am going to be downvoted to death, but it is clear from last year events that Sam Altman is truly that kind of "Blade Runner/Robocop(1)"-like antagonist character that has a narcissistic drive to destroy the world just so h

Of course that's the reason, but the way it was delivered it's what makes it embarassing.

by gcatalfamo 3y ago
Honestly, announcing public release in 180+ countries, and omitting that you are leaving out half of western civilization, it's outright malignant.

Although valid, this is in fact a workaround not meant to be a stable solution, because it has the drawback of de-activating that number-whatsapp link on the first phone you used it on. edit: I am stupid, as the latest feature actually allo

AFAIK, this only works if you have 2 SIMs on your phone. If both SIMs stay in their respective phone, I can't enable dual apps. p.s. also, this feature is Android only, I think.

For some reason, certainly not technical, they are still not allowing multiple numbers on the same device, with the same ease I can switch accounts on instagram, for example. (web vs app workaround are clearly not the right way to go) And,

I didn't attack Netflix at all. You seem upset that the market dynamics seem to behave in a way you don't like/support. Am I the one that has to grow up?
