So the guy writing about people in Qatar being overworked and dying… is overworked and dies. To some this means that the west and capitalism are just as bad as the “slavery” of the petrochemical state. To others this means that the petroche

I still haven’t gotten there. Drives me crazy any time I have to use an Office app. It’s rare enough that I cannot ever get work done.

But when it’s wrong, who is responsible? Suppose I want a new water softener, and all the reviews and pros and cons are made up by AI. I guess I blame the people posting AI crap as though it was real, the same way I blame made-up crap writt

Sad but unsurprising story. How do you reach your targeted cost per user without implementing death panels? “Sympathetic” agents will feel this pressure more and more, but there is a way to avoid this solution that is even more insidious. N

No, it’s talking about changing industries. And I don’t get the feeling that it can generate data, in the sense that usually means. More importantly, what it does generate we can’t trust to be accurate…

Just used this again on 3 different computers, including mine. Works fantastically still. Found a >100GB accidental “livestream” recording on one computer. Would have taken forever to find what was taking up all the room otherwise.

This doesn't seem as bad as local governments using tax money to campaign for higher taxes... (See your local US school district asking for an increase in property taxes...)

Some portion of commenters on HN, for one. There are plenty of people who are so desperate about anthropogenic global warming that they're willing to forgo having children and proclaim that the disastrous decline in fertility rates in

But the question is whether there is a benefit to having children once you get old, even if nobody else does (ie including getting old yourself in “the calculation”). Demographically you’re in a world of trouble still, but then having child

> It's not free. True enough. That’s why I don’t use it. Google’s solution is absolutely awful, and I’m positive you aren’t the only one abandoning important flows on non-profit websites because of it.

I downvoted because I run several non-profit websites, and start without any captcha’s by default. But forms always end up getting spammed, and then I have to add some protection. This is literally why captchas exist in the first place, as

If you want people to stop making plastic, you need to come up with another material that will work for the various things plastic is used for. Hence this article.

It sure can. Having children who love you and will take care of you was how it worked for millennia.

No. I wasn’t even meaning it was wrong for both of them. I was only saying lawsuits go after people with money. If the actors know enough to know something is a scam, then they are in the wrong, too. Regarding due diligence, anybody who acc

Not wrong for one and not the other. The non-celebs just don’t have enough money to make it worth it to sue them.

Door to door tree trimming offers are typically from companies that don’t trim but rather half-kill trees by topping them in my experience.

The GDPR is explicitly not the same as those laws, claiming that it applies to anybody anywhere who puts a website online for any reason irregardless of any trade agreements.
