Only 1.7m people left North America in 2023 (4.4m arrivals). Would be interesting to compare to figures from 2025.

Looks interesting. Not clear if only agents can ask/answer questions, or if humans are welcome to too? And if API is the only way to do so? I sought clarification here https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/43992

They do (one hand), but it doesn't require anything precise (like finding the app and clicking on it, which you can't really do while driving). If Siri could open an AI voice chat, that would awesome. But I'm not counting on

I placed eggs into boiling water and because my hands were wet I used voice and said "hey Siri, start a timer". It replied "you'll have to unlock your iPhone first", so I hovered my face over the bench the phone was

Unacceptable given it could be life and death. Understandable that clients' coverage struggles courtesy of Philippines' patchy cellular networks, but far less forgivable that a server for a critical emergency website has problems.

Very cool. Small (almost so small as to be silly) suggestion. But my first instinct as a non-classical music listener was to copy the names of songs into youtube so I could see if I recognised them. But for whatever reason I can't sele

Current policy is victim-blaming: it excludes from social media potential victims (children) but allows perpetrators (convicted csam users). But this was always about governments wanting to know who's posting what (and controlling them

I see your point, that donors could influence political appointees to nix certain research topics for their own benefit. How often does that actually happen, and wouldn't other institutions pick up the slack in most cases? (i.e. high v

Being curious definitely leads to discoveries. But important discoveries can also be made by saying "Topic X, if better understood, might lead to a cure for cancer - let's look into (and fund) that". We could think of this pr

This means research projects will be optimised for political boasting. Sounds terrible, but is it? It incentivises high-impact research (otherwise politicians can't boast about it), and less research into trivialities that common sense

For any non-snooker players: the theoretical maximum break you can usually get is 147, by sinking all 15 red balls each followed by a black (the highest scoring coloured ball) for 15 x 1 + 15 x 7 = 120. Then sinking each of the coloured bal

I think it comes down to risk tolerance. For an established company that wants to avoid upsetting users at all costs, CI/CD makes sense. But for a nimble 'move fast and break things' startup, it can steal dev time for very li
