I don't have link on that, but the main difficulty with OCR isn't the OCR part (not anymore at least), it's the "clean up" part, and serifs are a pain in the ass, especially on sightly crumpled paper. My use case wa

I think sadly, this is a lost battle in public opinion. And the gambling of digital assets on Roblox and other casino-like website is also starting to get public attention, and will turn public opinion further. The CNIL gave up 3 years ago,

The issue is using civil infrastructure as weapon, that could arguably be an act of terror. As pagers are rarely used in non-criminal settings, i guess this is somewhat okay in my opinion, but the callousness and overall reactions (proudnes

Even if the risk was linear/exponential with threshold at 12 for everyone, including infants and elderly, the 30% average reduction is likely mostly done by smoothing the peaks (since you probably have a base level of PM2.5). So you wo

Since GDP growth in the US is dependant on medical care and on new car sales, it probably decreased it on the short term. A sudden decrease in car crash would probably decrease the GDP the year it happen, then the fact that less people are

So about ionising radiation: UNSCEAR recommendation is to act as if no threshold effect exist at low doses for indeterministic effects (even though effectively we act as if a 100mSv threshold exists), but the medical literature isn't a

It hurts homeless more, that's a fact (although most,big cold city homeless couchsurf rather than sleep in their car in my experience, but it might be different in the US). But if you take 'poor people' as in the bottom 20% o

A LLM isn't able to give me a somewhat complete answer (and sometimes gives a dead wrong one) when I ask information about a eu4 or stellaris mechanic, and those are video games with thousands of articles and videos written about them.

You can't have a free market if supply (or demand) is constrained. You either go the liberal+regulated free market way, which will get lobbied, then overregulated, or you go the socialized way, where you allow local government and asso

If the tax is set at say 2% of wealth (excluding primary home and _displayed_ artwork/collectibles), and that's above your income, just pay with your stocks at the valuation they have at tax day.

I missed the "frozen". Ok, i understand the text better now. I think the issue is only with the frozen though, i understand why people would think it is necessary, but i think it should be avoided as much as possible, and fixtures

People really use fixture to simulate internal code? i thought it was overwhelmingly used to simulate external API response, or weird libraries that need some context switching (and in that case, an advice: the NIH syndrome is _very_ valid,

But many of the nazis in power in 36 did their first experimentations in the colonies. And by the way, in 33, one of the first act of Nazi germany was the sterilization of black and multiracial children.

Ireland's position at the time (before they got images of concentration and elimination camps) was that what the Nazi did was no different than what colonial powers did during 200 years. And since the Nazis invented the concentration c

It only targets user-generated advertising. If a platform chooses to display an add that contains PII, they have to make sure the person whose PII are displayed has agreed.

It seems to only applies to user-generated ads you run on your platform, not generic content. So the community would have to accept community generated ads and not checking them. I'd say it's pretty rare.

Doesn't the site make user pay to show their ads? I thought it was the deal, you pay the platform to host your advertising, and that was one of the justification for the CJEU.

That's how I felt at the time, it was my first job and I only had better experiences since then (and I gave it a try again in 2019 and the experience was way, way better). You're right, it probably wasn't the worst of the era

The issue is the new algorithm I think. It's the same on thread. You're more likely to get a view by responding to outrage bait than by promoting your own work, while before it was 50/50: responding to bait was great to reach

Java is usable now, but in 2013 it was the worst debugging experience one could have. I would rather work with PHP5 than with Java (unless I started a project from scratch). Also auto-refactoring was clearly worse, because well, Java. It wa
