Full cage and likely doesn't pass the sleeping Bobby test would disqualify it according to a certain unnamed host of Top Gears past. Cool anyway, but will be cooler when it's a true production car.

Doesn't it line up exactly? They release a new chat app every year and put the previous years app on a 5 year sunset. So you get to put a bunch of developers on the roof every year. It's Keynes "break things to put people to

Yeah YouTube's recommendations don't really strike me as being based on comparison of the content or themes of the videos, but based pretty heavily on what other users have watched. To be fair, codifying video into clusterable fea

Wrod is probably common enough and has enough real results that it works. "Sulliven", a mount in northwestern Scotland, gets "fixed" to Sullivan. It does work when quoted though

The code is probably in place to do that, but it probably errors out and no one who needs access to those logs has access or knowledge of them, and the humans handling appeals are probably siloed off from the bots and devs, so they think th

Which was their killer feature. Yahoo!™ Was great if you knew what curated content you already wanted. But if you wanted some esoteric, bizarrely specific thing indexed on a single page on a single site, you went with Google. They're t

Happens to me all the time now too. Even when I put the phrase in quotes it still omits words or says "search for X, do your really want to search for Y" But maybe our use cases are the outliers, and the new search is what works

And you're likely not far off. It's a pretty well tested principle that massive familial wealth usually disappears by the 3rd or 4th generation (because the descendents regress to the norm in terms of ability) and it looks like we

Well of course. But Facebook also has the resources and manpower to review and fix vague issues in a short timespan. And lawyers who'd be happy to bill thousands of hours making a scene.

Because they're not using humans to do the reviews anymore. They're putting bots on the frontlines, then using humans to (maybe) handle appeals. But those humans are probably undertrained, underpaid and have zero context for each

Seems to me that Google is turning on a lot of deep learning models in production which aren't production ready. Search has gone to shit recently. Image search is hot garbage for anything but images with well known people / places

Just because there are natural phenomenon which you do not understand because you didn't think of them yourself doesn't mean they're bullshit. Just because this hasn't happened in the 150 years we've been semi-accur

Oh I know. There is no Federal notion of a popular vote for the presidency. It's entirely up to each state how they wish to nominate their Electors.

1) the presidency has grown too powerful and imperial with a bureaucracy so massive the Qing emperor would be jealous. 2) 15 States can do what they want, but unless they meet the provisions in Article 5, the college is here to stay. Thank

I was expecting this to go the other way. That phones didn't need a warrant. It's a clever reading. If we insist on calling them "phones", then they're subject to the legal precedence of phones and maybe telegraphs.

No, the judiciary is perfectly sound. The overreaching, self-important bureaucrats in the Executive branches at all levels are the problem. Like they always are whenever a society let's government centralize and "administer".

Its a different line of discussion, but one which is being wrestled with all over the internet. How do you compensate content creators who are not your direct employees for producing content on your platform. See YouTube.
