My city is popping up condos at a rate I haven't seen since I was in China in the 2000s.

I think context matters. I can say "it would be a shame if something happened to you" and that could be pretty clear threat in some contexts and a genuine expression of concern in others. Same for something like "we all die e

They cracked down on me just yesterday, although they offered a few months of free premium to make up for it. Honestly I'm a bit split, I've often thought that supporting the internet through ads and information gathering has been

I would describe my mental vision as working the same way as you, and have always tested highly in my ability to mentally manipulate 3D objects. I don't think this is aphantasia so much as a language issue when describing mental proces

One of my favorite examples was this story of someone who tried to correct the answers for how to carmalize onions. Google got the last laugh by citing the text on their page that had the exact wrong answer they were trying to debunk in the

The city I live in isn't restricting it. Condos are going up as fast as they can be built and the parks are still filling up with tent cities and rents are still doubling. Something just doesn't add up. I'm in Canada (don&#x2

And some things like durian end up being restricted in places just for the smell. Places have so many scent policies now that it's been quite awhile since I really noticed a perfume on someone. Personally I think weed smell really ling

Actually yeah, the only place I'm seeing this reported is the linked website I've never heard of before, you'd think it'd be a little more widely covered.

Back in a previous life in a chemical R&D lab the company did layoffs and claimed to the media that it was all to marketing and administration. In the lab we lost about 50% of our researchers but weren't allowed to talk to anyone a

They basically encapsulate what a model has "learned." ML models without their weights are useless because the output is essentially random noise. You then train the model on data, and it changes the weights into numbers that caus

And those stupid flush door handles. Why? I hear horror stories of people getting frozen out of their cars. Who was asking for these that they're on every car now?

I've never heard this take, even while in Taiwan. They aren't deluded, they know they aren't retaking the mainland. The reason they don't declare themselves a country is because China won't support it and they'

Yes! As a diabetic I'm always annoyed that they don't even try to print the carbs on the label. I don't get why alcohol gets a pass when other food and drink have to.

I agree, and it's always going to be biased towards some direction, whether that's the views of the society it pulls most of its data from or the views of the organization that developed the AI. Heck, no one wants to end up with a

I used to hate diet colas, but then I became diabetic and had no choice but to drink them if I wanted a soda (I don't drink much pop in general). After a few years I just stopped being able to taste the weird diet aftertaste it used it

I'm going to need a bigger smoking gun than nicely asking for revenge porn to be removed before putting the USA on the level of Russia or China. If this is the worst they've got then things are a lot less corrupt in the USA than I

I think it's a careful balance. You need the ability to take decisive action, but at the same time the decisive action might just kill the company. I think the solution is supposed to be that you have multiple companies and when one di

Gog pranked people by saying they were going offline and you would lose your games. I guess it was to highlight that they're the only service where you can back up your games and don't need to worry about DRM, but there was a lot

It tends to be discriminatory towards Sihks, Muslims and Orthodox Jews, who all have head coverings as important religious garb, basically excluding them from government jobs.

When I read the parent comment I was thinking a deepfake designed to cause extreme reputational damage (cheating on spouse, etc.) in which case even person A would be at risk of having their social circle destroyed.

This strikes a nerve with me. Lately my work has started taking apart our website and shifting functionality to 3rd party vendors in an effort to limit liability. We're going to end up with something far less versatile, uglier and iron

I think the tricky part with this particular video is that the documentation (plane crash video) was the entire point of committing the act. If people were committing crimes entirely to sell tell all books or documentaries about doing it th

Hasn't this precedent already been set a long time ago? I had thought cyber warfare acts were common. I would think they would have to specifically shut down large infrastructure before a response beyond this was even considered.

It's pretty new, so not historical, but I'm interested to see how the Magnitsky Act could be applied in situations like this. It targets the wealthy ruling classes by seizing the assets they keep abroad. I'm not sure if it wo

I have trouble with this especially since I’m not sure if the language they’re using is just creating a misunderstanding. My example is quantum entanglement, which judging from a lot of sci-fi, people think means you literally have the same
