Saying they won't get the job if they don't come out for drinks excludes (on characteristic) recovering alcoholics, pregnant women, and about a quarter of the world's population on religious grounds. And just more broadly, so

> good candidates interview but decline the pub afterwards - they did not get offers That's one hell of a lawsuit you're opening yourself up to there. People who don't drink have significant overlap with protected classes.

It's possible to simulate less than you can see, but it's pretty undesirable. The recommendations scale with this.

But how far behind? Is he writing the article or the prompt? What struck most of all is the deep disconnect between author and authority. The tools one (tools are better than they've even been) stood out as a great example of this. Peo

The stuff they're rendering has to come from somewhere. They go hand in hand, the bigger the render area, the more game has to be simulated at once.

It's circular in the same way you'd describe the whirlpool created by an emptying bathtub. Round and round it spins, sucking in external cash to sustain it. Without continued external investment, the cycle stops, and we all learn

This is a bizarre comparison. Weeding is the natural process of disposing of less-demand books. Like the rest of us, libraries operate in finite space, so if they want new books, they have to remove ones their users aren't using. Most

It's tempting to redefine as "crimes that result in prison sentencing", but the more you pick at these scabs, the more international discrepancies you uncover in law, policing, sentencing and statistics. In a way that matters

> Given the incarceration rates... I don't think you make anything moot by compounding more regional stats. Some countries have more crime , they underinvest in rehabilitation, addiction treatment, and social diversion programmes.

It should be used for essential infrastructure for public use . Power lines to a private DC seem to miss on both counts.

Pretty harmless? That's easy to say until it's your land and view that now has pylons and restrictions dumped on it.

It's also the reason people pass out and die in high-nitrogen or helium environments. Your body can still exchange out CO2 (and O2 in really high concentrations) and you just carry on until you... Stop. A couple of refrigeration engine

This is not phone-grade miniaturisation. As a maker, I see somebody selling a dev kit that with £20 more in buttons, battery, and an afternoon in CAD gives me a Steam Deck sized version of this for a third the price. It's not the same

And that's grand, but when these things contest for the same resources I use (electricity, natural gas, water, rolling countryside unblemished by pylons), and I already see my bills soaring from a pair of absolutely unnecessary wars, I

For £160 you can buy three JC1060P470, 7 inch proto-tablet systems with the same P4+C5 stack, with GPIO, ethernet in some models. I get that the expense here is miniaturising and integration, but even at half the RRP, I'd be wincing. T

Hey nice to hear somebody taking about social feature of a social network when so much of this is about profiling people through infinite scrolling content from strangers. It'd be hilarious to see the EU demand interop on features like

I mean, we have an EV and you do have to think about range if you're going over 100mi away and time is tight (eg you have young children, appointments, etc) When I can throw 100mi into my car in 5 minutes without having to do backfli

I hate how Office 365 forms have no simple way to verify where your data is going. Through companies and schools using them for essential functions, they've normalised posting sensitive data without checking.

Maybe. At the very budget end, I was really thinking you take the £150 worth of sensors and motors (when bought new) to make something better. We just got a second hand Ultenic T10. The 2021 model is commonly available for £40 used. It tang

The hardware is an issue, not because it's bad but because it's massively expensive to buy the components piecemeal. You can purchase a lidar vac for £70-80 now. Even if you only replaced the brains, that's a quarter of the

Attestation from other services is a good option. I have Apple, Meta, Google, PayPal, eBay, Microsoft, Twitter/X and Steam accounts that —through age of account, and their own identity checks and purchase histories— could attest that I

It's "social media". The whole thing is profiling for advertisers. The idea that there's privacy is laughable. There is a network effect as a child's peers stop using social media though. Make it inconvenient enough

That's because you're treating AV as a system that must be 100% correct immediately. This isn't banking or an election. As soon as you loosen off the requirements to "reasonable effort", you can start looking at acc

You're lost. The whole basis of this discussion is that is that certain services (porn, social media) will have to AV. A kid having open network access doesn't help because they still have that interface to overcome. Services tha

I don't believe proving I'm an adult to Meta will deprived me of any further privacy than I've already surrendered. What security do you feel I'll lose? These "platform design problems" are features for some a
