Absolutely, the world should not tolerate aggression or deceitfulness like that from any country. Oh, I nearly forgot about Russia's polonium poisoning in the UK, and the massive state-funded doping program for the 2014 Sochi Winter Ol

Can we just designate Russia as a rogue state and sanction the fuck out of them already? Annexing Crimea, shooting down MH17, Meddling in the '16 US election, meddling in the Brexit vote, poisoning Navalny, meddling in the '20 US

The scary thing about automation isn't the technology itself. It's that it breaks the tenuous balance of power between those who own and those who work - if the former can just own robots instead of hiring the latter, what will be

Sure, I mean, I personally believe in the "conspiracy theory" that most of the QAnon conspiracy theories circulating on social media either originate from the Russian Internet Research Agency/Glavset, or is at least being act

A headline that truly captures the times we live in. There's something poetic about using machine intelligence to detect human stupidity.

This article also sheds a lot of light on the whole issue of why people don't realize when digital ads don't work: https://thecorrespondent.com/100/the-new-dot-com-bubble-is-h...

Interesting how that headline can be parsed in different ways, since "attributes" and "work" can both be nouns or verbs. I initially read it as "How Python contributors are given credit for their work"

The thing is, esports and casual play help each other out. Streamers and tournaments are watched by hordes of casual players who are able to appreciate what's going on only because they play themselves, albeit at a much lower level. So

Do you have a source? My googling only found references to a full-dose US trial, and speculation that an additional half-dose trial would have to be paid by AZ themselves with no govt funding.

It's basically a comparison of two functions. On the one hand is the overhead of needing to schedule and maybe travel in order to meet, and amount of time wasted by people in the meeting who don't actively need to participate. On

What do you think the ethical consequences will be? Genuinely curious, because I don't really see what they would be, or why there would be any. At least not compared to something like e.g. creating an actual artificial intelligence, a

I think a lot of people who have been reflexively buying new MacBook Pros every couple years should do themselves a favor and seriously consider a MacBook Air this time around. It's the same performance most of the time, and for tasks

I think the trick is to split it the eight way. If you do it the wrong way, you end up with functions becoming layer upon layer of indirection that feels like a rabbit hole you need to dive further and further into to understand what is act

Well, unprovable at least, probably not unknown. Putin is the kinda guy that leans heavily into concepts like plausible deniability, and he'll settle for implausible deniability if he has to.

It's undoubtedly impressive tech - but even if this is somehow technically superior to Unity and Unreal, I just doubt there's room for another proprietary engine to make a name for itself in the market. Godot has a chance based on

They know it's a lost cause, but it's completely against human nature to not at least try to do something, even if you know it isn't likely to work. And their hope is to sway some old politicians into forcing Apple not to rel

So the plane is built with the assumption that the pilots are ready to jump in and override within 10 seconds, if out of the blue the auto-pilot decides to try to crash the plane. How about a no, and we re-build the system so a failure like

Man, for a nation founded by rebelling against a tyrant, and known for its can-do mentality, you sure have a pretty defeatists attitude when it comes to defeating authoritarians...

Regarding specific picks, I would say things like git or SQL (if you want something "ageless") or docker, aws, react (if you want something trendy, but still proven) would be good choices.

The problem is consistency and lack of direction. There are now sane ways to do almost anything in CSS. But they are not exclusive - they live side-by-side with older, less-sane solutions, many of which don't play nice together. Someon

iOS users generally have quite high purchasing power. I suspect that even untargeted ads on Apple's ad network would still be quite valuable. Even just knowing the category of app an ad is displayed in (e.g. "Game", "Re

High quality merino wool doesn't itch (at least not for most people), is naturally odor-resistant and can be super comfortable. I mostly use Icebreaker, but Smartwool and Aclima make good stuff too.

With all the billion dollar mergers and acquisitions going on these days, I can't help but wonder if any of the companies that exist today will manage to grow/merge their way into becoming Weyland-Yutani-style megacorporations? Is
