Yeah, I'm surprised this is allowed. It's risky for the owner, who opts in but may be mislead about the current accuracy of the model, but even worse, it's dangerous to all 3rd party drivers, ciclists and pedestrians. It&#x27

There was an economist who was walking down the street with a friend. The friend stops and says, "Look, there is a $20 bill on the ground!" The economist turns and coolly replies, "Can't be. If there was a $20 bill on t

Is privacy thar expensive? Isn't each user's data worth 1 or 2 dollar? From the consumer perspective: I want the 500-2000 euros device I bought not to spy on me. Were it not the status quo, this would sound ridiculous.

First, you're mixing population with the author. He wants his own private computer, maybe the global population doesn't. Second,participating in a ubiquous system does not mean you support a part or all of it. If I buy chicken fro

Dumb rule of thumb but it works: if something has "truth" in its name, it's unscientific right wing propaganda. Of course this does not apply all the time, and you should evaluate the content and make a proper judgment. But

From the first sentence alone, I can already imagine what kind of community Gab has... The "freedom of speech", as in "freedom of hate speech" kind of community, probably.

It seems Gab banned anti-christian messages. So the 'freedom of speech' in this community is pretty much a dogwhistle for'freedom of alt-right speech'. (Not sure dogwhistle is the right word here, but it's the often

I'd start by questioning why the article critizes Biden and Obama while defending Trump, who is famous for calling any news that made him look bad 'fake news'.

The cost/loss idea is bad enough, but that person is a business partner and this situation might be the final nail on stadia's coffin. Would be interesting if this stadia fiasco would lead to Google rethinking their customer suppo

My understanding is Terms of Service have little significance in courts: whatever a company writes in its ToS, it must still comply with the laws. Facebook banning you due to some vague ToS? No problem, your access to Facebook isn't pr

Slavoj Žižek, a popular philosopher, has stated in an interview, which I will try to paraphrase: "some morals should be absolute. I don't want to live in a country where we would need to argue if a rape case is justified or not. W

Teams has a browser app that works just like the desktop client, which is probably just a thin wrapper around a web app. The only thing ive missed there is the ability to take control of someone else's pc.

You can spend your vacation time at home, if you don't want to spend money on big trips. Where I live, vacations are 30 days a year but most people only spend around 7 on big trips, or less if they need to save money.

I'm not sure if you can restrict your employees from distributing the code, though. I can see 2 situations: 1. Employee executes GPL binary on company's computer. I'd consider this binary to belong to owner of the computer -

Valve is (was?) known for being silent too often - at least concerning Dota 2 (the diretide event 'scandal'). Maybe they're trying to correct that, after so many complaints about their poor communication, which is nice.

I can think of at least 2 advantages. 1. only packaging once, opposed to making a .deb, a .rpm and so on. 2. as soon as its in the language repo, it's available everywhere. Even if I make an apt-get package, I'd have to wait for U

Not the dev's fault, but using youtube was painful with this addon. It disables 'full screen' for a lot of browsers, which was a pain in the ass. I wish the addon had an option to select from a sublist of mainstream browsers.
