The blocking of Pinterest domains makes obvious sense (the bane of image search), but the blocking of news domains (foxnews, dailymail, nytimes) less so. Are news outlets regular polluting search results for people for run-of-the-mill queri

I think the point estimating GPU utilization (the terminology is transcending ), and by extension GPU demand misses the point. Of course they will buy them, they have to because everybody else is. The questions is whether the GPUs makes mon

Apologies for the bluntness, but this is just extremely naive. The bank, at its discretion or under order by government, can and will prevent the transfer of funds, so it's really just a case of Murphy's law. I don't know why

Do large families only exist in the U.S? Why is this not an issue for people in any other country? The explosion in vehicle size over the last 10 years in U.S is off-the-scale absurd, while per-capita fatal crashes have only gone UP over th

I don't know why that "word choice" is controversial. The FBI is not in the business of "prosecuting" crimes in the legal sense, they are an investigatory body, it's in the name. The FBI absolutely CAN investig

I still don’t understand your point, destitution is the symptom of the various problems you’ve described, I agree with you. Nowhere do I posit differently. And it doesn’t matter what the causes are. I’m simply pointing out the most disgusti

Yeah, but you quickly counteract with direct steering after you initiate the turn, so the overriding sensation is one of direct steering at low speeds, even through the physics is the same. This is what I think most people are referring to

Ride a motorcycle for 5 minutes and you'll believe. EDIT: To answer your question more directly, you are steering in one direction to initiate a lean in the opposite direction. E.g. if you are attempting to turn right, you first steer

If you need to quickly swerve out of the way of an obstacle you push hard on the handle and you will immediately initiate a turn (you could just as easily say that your are initiating a lean). It's also well understood that handle bar
