Normally in weight classed sports, people cut and dehydrate etc so that they are just inside the weight class they want to be in. In other words, if they didn't cut they wouldn't be meeting that opponent at all because they would

VAC bans in waves, you might be banned a month after you were caught cheating. This prevents cheat developers from iterating and finding ways to circumvent the system.

Problem is you want to live in society. You want to have your cake and eat it too. You want utilities, roads, healthcare, all kinds of shit. That requires money, so you need a way to generate money. But you don't have to partake in soc

I'm not saying it's Germany's fault, we're the ones selling them energy. Or rather a couple rich guys make shitloads of money while everyone else pays for their profits. Nothing against Germany.

Not sure what OP refers to but it isn't very long ago that we were paying over a dollar per kwh in Norway. We've always had extremely low energy prices due to our abundant hydroelectric power etc, but now it's all being sold

Sounds like you'd like C#. It does type inference with `var` and similar things, so you don't always have to specify types explicitly, but everything does have a type at compile time.

Most drug users aren't addicts. You just don't see them because they look just like everyone else. Millions of people use opiates on a daily basis and live otherwise normal lives.

I've taken most common drugs. LSD, MDMA, shrooms, cocaine, amphetamines, list goes on. None of them, except maybe some prescription pills like benzos, take control away from me the way alcohol does. None of them have had me wake up in

It is good. I use discord all the time. We can make our own servers for free, easily invite people, talk in text or voice or even stream video. I also enjoy using discord for programming, it has awesome support for code blocks and all kinds

I don't know about this take. A lot of what you say makes sense but your conclusion seems like a bit of a stretch. LLMs could be very useful for learning and probably are, but they also allow you to ask the wrong questions and circumve

They didn't say that. They just said it hasn't been found.

I have used reddit for over a decade but I stopped recently. It's turned into a bunch of political echo chambers. I have been banned from subs just for commenting in a different sub. I have been banned for saying slightly controversial

If it's that easy, why are we wasting billions researching carbon capture? Why aren't we just doing this?

Yeah, and I'm saying that's a shit idea because it won't fix any problems, it won't make Google Maps noticeably better and it'll probably just make Google drop the product altogether if it's too demanding to th

What kind of dream world are you living in? It's not a defense, it's a cost/benefit analysis. A map app that gives great routes for 99% of use cases is good enough, there's no point spending billions making it 0.1% bette

Sure, Google could have fixed it when they were notified. I do not know why they didn't. I assume there's a fairly decent reason, given the fact that Google has a vested interest in the accuracy of their maps app. It is, however,

You seem confused. A road can be used by people who aren't sending their location to Google. I would also be surprised if every single road in the world has seen usage in the past decade. I'm sure there's a whole bunch of roa

I don't need to assume anything. I just look at the road in front of me and if there's an obstacle I handle it. I adjust my speed so that I am in control. If Google tells me to drive onto a collapsed bridge I look ahead, see the b

Okay let's forbid map apps altogether then. Apple, google, open, whatever. It's literally impossible to make one that is 100% reliable, and according to a bunch of geniuses on HN the app owner is responsible for morons who don&#x2

Google maps being wrong is not a danger, it is an inconvenience. Drivers are responsible for their own driving, no map app is perfect. It is completely unreasonable to assume or expect that Google Maps routes are always correct and safe.

At best it would have to be flagged for review, at which point someone would have to check it somehow. Otherwise you'd end up deleting a bunch of totally fine roads that simply aren't frequently used by people who send their locat

Yes, Google is responsible for administrating their own app. Yes, Google definitely should update their maps when notified of errors. No, Google does not have any obligation to do so. They are providing an extremely valuable service for fre

I don't know the relevant laws for this case so I can't say anything about what a court might decide. I'm just stating my opinion. Google Maps being wrong is not dangerous. It's an inconvenience. There can be absolutely

I always drive at a speed where I can stop the car in the area of road that I can see. If I can only see 10 meters ahead I have to be able to stop in probably 5 meters of road, accounting for reaction time etc. So then I have to go very slo

Then slow down. If you can't even see the road ahead of you, stop. You can't drive if you can't see the road. If you choose to drive blind that's on you.

I completely agree that the bridge should have been blocked off. After 9 years it shouldn't be a couple traffic cones (or nothing), it should be a solid barrier. This is on the local road authority. As for Google, absolutely no liabili

I'm not them but I'll translate for you. They had a shitty app that did dumb stuff that SQL can do for them. Someone finally figured out how SQL works and wrote some proper queries and now they think they're geniuses.

Low code is great if you don't know programming. For more complex systems you want developers who understand the system deeper than "box connects to other box makes things go brr", and if you have developers who know what the
