Oh, I hadn't even seen that. You don't need to open them up. just uncheck the checkbox. The CAPTCHA at the end was my favorite part.

Hmm...it's not in the OED, but Google search does find a patent using the term, and maybe a paper or two. It's surely not "en·dospasm", though. Weird that thisworddoesnotexist splits it up that way.

Has the fundraising environment shifted such that Google/Microsoft can more easily purchase their competitors? I'd assume raising funds has gotten harder, and that that change will make a selling more appealing.

It's also worth noting that creators get paid more for YT Premium views than ad-based views. YouTube, for all its problems, has far better revenue-sharing than pretty much any other "user generate content" platform.

This is what we want, though, right? The alternatives would be a paywall, or charge per view. (Or, I guess, pay to "own", like a Kindle ebook, but seems like a mismatch for most of their content.)

Yeah, the Ramona scene doesn't exist (by coincidence, I've also read four of the eight Ramona books in the past couple days). The letter I mentioned was in Superfudge. GPT-4 spots the errors, but refuses to give me the original te

A couple years ago, I read Superfudge by Judy Blume, a book originally published in 1980. In it, the protagonist writes a letter to Santa: "Please bring me one or more of the following items. A clock-radio, a remote-controlled model ai

"I think we should ban ATMs, online banking, and direct deposit so I can get work as a bank teller" said no one ever. (Well, maybe someone when these were new.) Displaced workers need support to ensure they can weather these trans

I agree, but to be fair, software usability often experiences death by a thousand UX cuts, and gnome-keyring support is one of those cuts. I don't think that's the case with web browsers, though. for the most part, things that mat

I want this. I'll eat it. I'd be willing to pay some amount more than the current cost of regular meat (including the pricier more ethically-raised meat). Yahoo reports about a quarter of vegans say they would eat it.[0] MSU surve

This is true, but large engineering projects aren't a single technology. There are a lot of ways we'll improve relevant technologies without actually working on this directly. Presumably the fracking industry is improving our abil

Oh man, Literature Map looks really great for finding recs. That said, I do think book-level might be much more valuable. My first thought for this was Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny. I haven't read anything else by h

I'm not sure. We don't really have a specific term for it as far as I know. I think it's mostly confusing because we're talking about how healthy food is, and because you talked about a ratio. Since we're in a situ

If we can be pretty confident it'll be 100 years, that's long enough for technology to progress a lot before we fiddle with it. Not sure what "soon" means in this case, but I suspect they don't mean "within a

I suspect part of this is that there's prescriptivist nitpicking and non-prescriptivist, uh, non-nitpicking. Pointing out that "feedback" in uncountable is giving information on how to better match actual usage. A prescript

The issue here isn't people adding sesame and not mentioning it. The problem is that if there were something else with sesame using the same machinery, anywhere along the line, you can't simply say "this item might have trace

I mean...yeah, obviously? What specific statement did they make that you think is a lie? No one says, or would believe for a second "the law requires that all food have sesame added no matter what".

by lkbm 4y ago
Uh...no, it's the opposite. THis quote explains why what they're saying is true and an actual consequent of the rules. Per the FDA, it's not enough to just say "it may contain traces". You need to do full, expensi

I only knew about non-computer semaphores from the Swallows and Amazons books (which are from the 1930s and 1940s). If my mom hadn't read those books to me as a child, I don't know that I'd have come across the concept. &quot

I mean, sure, I could also just turn off my computer. Presumably people use Firefox for a reason, and making that a option use less energy is pure upside, and it's very interesting to see how big of an upside it might be.
