If you get a robot that automated it you'll feel the difference. Floors get a lot of dust. Especially if you have pets but even without. I would not personally vacuum daily but having completely automated, vacuuming and mopping, every

Entirely possible the rss failed validation triggered some spam flag that isn't documented, because documenting anti-spam rules lets spammers break the rules. The amount of spam has increased enormously and I have no doubt there are a

That's not what a lot of proponents of these laws argue. They often state that if a company is making something unavailable in the EU due to one of the laws that the company is throwing a fit or being spiteful.

"Not statistically significant" doesn't mean did not happen. Given the physical mechanisms involved it is implausible that pollution did not decline. And if you look at their data you see a marked drop in 2020 at day 70 This

They really do run Russian bot farms though. It isn't a secret. Some of their planning reports have leaked. There are people whose job it is day in day out to influence Western opinion. You can see their work under any comment about Uk

You can use apple watch for password managers and all macos passwords prompts. Does require an apple silicon mac iirc. The main downside is it doesn't always recognize and it takes a few seconds to trigger. I'd love a separate tou

Not the whole story. As an example I just got a new scanner. It's almost twice as fast as the ten year old scanner it replaced. Or I got a computer with a larger hard drive. Less mental overhead in managing files. I loaded my macbook p

The headline + intro is written to infuriate. If you respond to that and not the article you're taking the bait. The main topic the article is talking about is a drag on business efficiency from a slower upgrade cycle and running workl

Schizophrenia is a subset of "doing worse mentally". For a proper comparison you need to check overall mental health, not just schizophrenia, which is a rare condition.

I had a look at the second source. It goes to crypto investor A16Z's report, where they are looking at all crypto trading volumes. $46 trillion transaction volume but once they remove bots $9 trillion per year. Note that forbes serio

Oh sorry, not you. The OP in the chat thread, they were DDOS'ed by someone and are commenting anonymously. Maybe grandparent is the correct word for it, in any event this is the comment I was referring to when I said OP, not your artic

It sounds like OP is describing a situation where someone persistently DDOS's them as long as it works. In which case DDOS time trivially dominates cloudflare outage time. Note that OP is posting, even now, from an anon account. This i

I didn't condemn or approve of anyone, I just answered your question. You're making a lot of assumptions. You're focussing exclusively on violence. If Israel adopted China's Xinjiang methods they would: 1. Take direct ad

>where is China geonociding hundreds a week right now? Xinjiang. They put people in camps and take extensive efforts to prevent births, to eliminate the Uighur population over time.

First it's an easy way to test censorship. Second, you might flip the question: why is the Chinese govt so obsessed that they still block all mention of the event?

The parent comment is describing a scenario where the Chinese company may get a factual monopoly in Europe because it can outcompete the two European companies due to economies of scale.

We have a ton of good, small models. The issues are: 1. Most people don't have machines that can run even midsized local models well 2. The local models are nearly as good as the frontier models for a lot of use cases 3. There are tech

>the money mostly gets paid out to employees and owners as salaries, dividends, or stock buybacks. This is the last part. Where do you think the money goes if not to employees or owners?

If you start investing a small amount at age 17 you can build the habit and increase totals later. Saying "I'll do it later when it is rational" often translates to "I won't do it (for a long time)". Which is n

It's easy to write a cynical reaction, but the simplest explanation is usually true. In this case, it's just a very good headline. I read Stratechery. Ben's articles are what he makes for public consumption. This weekly summa

It should be noted that Durov does not criticize Russia, his country of citizenship and the center of much of his userbase. The Russian internet is far more controlled than the Western internet, with penalties up to and including arrest and
