I'm very curious what geography the team who wrote this guardrail came from and the wording they used. It seems to bias heavily towards generating South Asian (especially South Asian women) and Black people. Latinos are basically never

There are formerly inhabited islands in Boston harbor that are similar to these fishing villages, and they're mostly used now as stops on tourist day trips to explore ruins. It's a PITA to live in a place only accessibly by ferry.

I think it is a good reminder that with these services you can design your own usage around making it easy to switch providers. With maps it was a rude awakening, but there were so many other providers by the time they did the rug pull that

At my job, we are seeing way more perfect fit candidates than we did a few years ago. A few years ago I could see us giving an offer to someone like this, but now that there are basically unicorns showing up I don't think I could justi

A lot of the European ones have been here so long people don't really call them invasive but they still are. Some common ones like honeybees, wild horses, pigs (boar), rats, mice, feral cats.

Sears did have an internet store on Prodigy (an AOL competitor) in the early 90s it went nowhere... a lot of these megacompanies weren't going to turn it around even if they were first movers.
