There are a lot of well thought out good solutions being posted here, but you have to bear in mind that these companies don't see a problem to be solved in the first place. It's like telling a mafia boss the solution to the cops b

I'm guessing the "many people [you] know" are category 2. Many people are in category 3, because most of the world is category 3.

Sorry, but I don't buy any of that. I've been defending Mozilla for years, but enough's enough. > but all existing Firefox users would have to download a second Firefox browser app, probably sync their accounts if they wan

I'm tired of defending Mozilla here, so I have to say that working on their web browser is not a priority for them. In fact, it seems like they're interested in everything _but_ working on Firefox.

Housing is the only one I can agree on. The place is so damn big that outside of places like New York, you can get 2/3 times the space for the same money, in a lot of places even more!

The study focuses on books (and comics, but that only bumped it up by a couple of percent).

They make sense to many people, even if not to you. I'll take a one-function device over a general device any day. You switch it on, it does the thing, you switch it off. General purpose computers are the exception that proves the rule

Yes, but it's a thin line, and I contend that this is over that line. If you satarise Nazis and some Nazis can't tell that you're making fun of them, that's good satire. If you write a peice that reads like any other pei

That's actually the point of the post. It's both boring and a disservice when we pretend otherwise. White guy as the main villain? Sure, let's go! Non-white characters _can not_ be bad under any circumstances? Boring and pred

That's one way to frame it. For those who adopted Code Assist and made it part of their process, it's at best a technicality, at worst extortion.

Stop grabbing and straws and evolve. What you thought made you valuable, has been devalued. You were never your output anyway, but you thought you were and got your self-worth from it, so now you're clutching at any argument against AI

It requires manual moderation. Companies like Facebook, Google, and co. have spent much effort telling you that's impossible. In fact, that is a type of half-truth that is a lie. The full truth is that it's impossible _at their sc
