That's a prompt problem. If you named a Japanese artist or style rather than giving an adjective derived from a country, you might get something that wasn't national wank. Yes, a human might do this step for you. A mediocre one m

It's a bit wishy-washy; they're just saying "we're better off working together" not actually doing something . I can't imaging Canada would be looking to align its standards and laws with the EU. Don't ge

Those provisions are specifically for the breaking or circumvention of technical measures designed to prevent copyright infringement. I don't see a parallel here.

A copyright law seems an odd place to start. This is computer misuse.

I'm getting really fed up of this. It's it about time we the people rise up and make it clear how appallingly unacceptable it is to hold your lavalier microphone. But on topic, it's amazing they're getting these things t

It's bizarre to me that there isn't any KYC in advertising. Seemingly any foreign money can buy adverts for anything and redirect traffic. For a long time, you could host your own adverts, put your own script on third party sites.

More like ABCD/EFGH testing. So many unaccounted variables, from brand through, marketing, deals and even physical dealerships. Everything else equal, I can believe having CarPlay adds value for some people. Things weren't equal s

National clubs? They can and UEFA considered it but the problem is always buy-in. FIFA has a billions in revenue and reserves. Many of the supranational areas are developing and need that income support, at least it looks like outreach, e

I think we pay something like €30/month for 2gbps with ~8ms latency back to the UK. I think that answers that.

There's so very much rural France. They'd need a colossal influx of well paid remote labour moving to the country to make the sums work. I think the goal is social, to ensure that rural France isn't abandoned further than it

It's pretty insane. Our family has a holiday home in a fairly mountainous region in central-southern France. Dwindling population, no major tourist activity, wine production. We'd long suffered the worst imaginable 56k but in 2018

Could you qualify the things the anti-porn crowd claimed would happen that didn't? Just saying they didn't seems shortsighted when there are obvious harms. Kids go into relationships expecting rough play, choking to be okay. Onl

Yeah, they transitioned from a social network to a engagement black hole a while ago. There is a "Feeds" page buried in there somewhere but it's far from default. Twitter might be full of politically dubious [1] and worse-tha

JTFC why are you arguing minutiae? The analogies aren't the argument. AC and meat are bad for the environment but they deliver personal benefit. Having a DC in your community has no appreciable personal benefit, only negatives. That&#x

I'm surprises GitHub haven't added a mechanism to donate tokens to let a project maintainer inspect, verify, explain and test PRs. For big PRs it would make a difference if I didn't have to check everything for malicious link

It's a real surprise that there hasn't been a successful effort to standardise meta-packaging and build scripts to allow fire-and-forget release management. To argue the other way, I guess some of it is arbitrary repository rules.

In the context of a economics blog, and its audience, sure! But this is being shared outside that context. Deciphering acronyms for the HN titles would seem like an okay start. There are several common use alternatives. Wouldn't hurt t

I'm not sure they're even the worst games company. Ubisoft would give them a run for their money but that's a $30 DLC over a $70 base price I refused to pay for. No, EA earn every criticism and this move to PE will do absolut

How does your heuristic handle your qualitative and quantitative words here? If you land on a blog post with a single, pertinent illustration (from a LLM), do you assume the post, site and author are all robot trash and run away? Investigat

While I agree, permission still means something. If they're found to have held onto it, processed it or shared it, they'll be told off very sternly and asked politely to not do it again.

If they take it to Defcon, they're fair game. Putting your melon on the line in a building full of hackers feels foolhardy.

The opening code sample should be formaction, not action, right? (Edit, I see, it's a proposal) And when did button get a formation property anyway? I've been doing this forever and I'm still learning.
