Generally, testing, certificates, and legal culpability if something goes wrong. But if you buy a fake there is no one you can sue.

I had not realised UK still had mining for iron ore, but it seems it's even a net exporter [1]. In that case it really makes sense to keep such a strategic industry alive as both the up- and downstream companies would suffer if it&#x

Well since Mondelez night Caburies, Milka, and other major brands across Europe it has slowly been downgrading their quality. So unfortunately not a purely British problem and even more unfortunately an intentional business strategy by a Sw

That seems more a feelings than fact based view. The Norwegian referendum had many reasons, but as for Brexit they were not necessarily based on rational analysis. Norway is nominally independent but in every economic sector, including farm

Very bad headline and politico knows better, so very disappointing. An official is a public servant, so it sounds like a technical meeting. Here anthropic sent a low level employee that is with the company for two months to testify to the

Good. The trademark would ultimately allow them to sue any company for claiming it provides "open AI". So only right choice to reject it.

Not sure why you are speculating or what your background would be to do so, when the info is easy to find. Yes it was a link language given its prominence, but also > Sanskrit was a spoken language in the educated and the elite classes,

Cameras don't prevent crime, they just increase the cost of doing so (or the cost of preparing for it). Most crime is spontaneous. Plenty of examples from across the world that installing cameras or other checks at best shifts crime

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it clearly is necessary - we expect parents to do this but most are obviously failing (and I say this being a parent myself). Look what any 13 year old is doing on their phone or what disgus

I am both a fan of books and AI. A clear win would be if the digitised copies would be made available by the AI companies for the long term, but unfortunately I doubt that will be the case (and probably they also wouldn't care enough c

I'm not sure it's that straightforward. What the article shows is that even a legal, commercial, and publicly known platform serves this content. What it doesn't show is all the other contexts kids may encounter it.

Obviously a five line summary loses a lot of nuance. E.g. these legislative files are at very different stages of discussion , some not even proposed formally and others close to completion. It reminds me a bit of the famous UK tabloid head

Funnily, as a European all the models appear extremely right wing. The political spectrum is shifted far more right in the US than in Europe, so what is left there is still at least conservative here. I ask my AI to give me citations scienc

While other commenters take the lesson that Xi goes after corruption, I would restate it: * he goes after corrupt officials, in both minor roles and very public big cases; and * he also accused inconvenient people (mostly potential contend

If the donation is framed as a single developer benefitting it should be fine, but at least when I was donating that was framed as donations to the project which suggests something else. I'm fine with this use, rewarding a developer, b

I have no stake in the game other than that I have donated to both projects, but CoMaps seems to have a more sustainable path forward as true FOSS, no need for more drama. Having read some of the discussions I understand that there's a

Do be useful, can you help us understand why you think this?

Been using Comaps for a while, mainly for cycling, and it works very well. Before that I used also organicmaps and it was fine as well but I think made a few more mistakes in routing. That said, obviously this is not a parallel test but rat

Well they kind of are. Tiktok within china is a much more healthy (albeit also propaganda filled) experience than the tiktok available on the rest of the world.

While China has many horrors (from the digital great wall, to Uyghurs and Tibet to abhorrent working conditions for internal migrants, lack of health and safety, little enforcement of environmental rules, ...) it seems at the same time that

People seem to have this fiction that parliamentarians working on a committee actually have some expertise. This can happen but is actually rare. They are not elected for skill but for political reasons, and then the parties pawn them to

I agree on the rest but don't see why it would be heavier. If you have more feet standing at any particular moment the load would be more distributed, i.e. movement should be easier with more legs (depending on leg weight of course).

Citation needed. Here is one for the contrary (just a book review. The citation is the book). https://cleantechnica.com/2026/04/06/we-need-to-tax-billiona...

I like the Migadu migration guide: install thunderbird, add both accounts, simply move the folder from one account to the other. Messy is the Google label system which tends to create dupes in thunderbird so you need to do some label cleanu

The world is getting more confusing. My wife is 500+ episodes deep in Spotify's AI podcasts and doesn't believe me when I tell her these are neither human voices nor human texts. I can tell by a hundred small tells, but somehow sh

I would argue the barrier to cheating has become lower just by virtue of how easy it is to do it now. You open an app and type your question. Rue if different from Brit where you had to basically have either a skill in cheating to find an
