Oh I see, locking in the programming sense, yes. Either not every search term is personalized for your context, or else this particular search is being applied to some other demographic. But that's weird because "locking" doe

Wow you're right. Locking dance moves and videos. Weere you expecting to see padlocks or doorlocks or what?

Some people search for shopping, or business details, in which case personalization can improve (or disimprove) result relevance based on knowing where you currently are, what day and time it is, what you tend to order etc. etc. And some pe

Your link is not to an article, just your app, and it has nothing to do with Anthony Hopkins. Please retitle it or else as stands, it's clickbait.

In the long term, Venezuela has more proven reserves (but much less production capacity). Or nuclear + renewable will overtake fossil fuel. In either scenario, Saudi's share of total global energy production will likely decline by late

What's a short explanation of the discrepancy in EU wholesale vs household electricity price changes, over the period 2019-2025? Wholesale increased 30% YoY 2025 over 2024 but household didn't. Realistically we should compare to 2

The comment merely said UAE has become strategically influential in finance, transport (cargo shipping (#5 in world), world's busiest international passenger airport), tourism. Nothing about being fond. 5% GDP growth in non-oil. More d

I meant general audiences would not understand a one-word reference to 'Windsor' (single word) as meaning 'The person FKA Prince Andrew'. Whereas 'AMW'/'Andrew Mountbatten Windsor' might. 'W

Which states/counties/cities? IME that rarely happens, tickets are often used for revenue-raising. And some recent laws e.g. 2008, 2009, 2025 CA cellphone use laws cannot be discharged by traffic school, AFAIK.

Intentionally opting into an AI platform where we would already foresee a subset of users would start generating sexual content of other users without their knowledge, then professing to be surprised about it, seems contrived. OpenAI had ju

"the portfolio that maximizes an adjusted CAGR" over the ranges 2015-2025? Isn't that one just massively overfitting to the unique geopolitical events of 2016-current? 1970-2025 sounds better. But still that's baking i

Sure, but in my experience of online shopping, even garbage pretend-customer Q&A as opposed to no Q&A make it look like the product is getting more views, purchases reviews and comments. These days a product with no Q&A at all l

A good-faith reading of the sort of suggestion the author never made is for the blanket opt-in consent to allow other users generate images/videos of you to be segmented into separate consents for PG, adult, fetish etc.; also face&#x2F

The OP never at any point suggested "harming them sexually". Her objection was to people making fetish content of her (or other real people) without their consent, which is entirely a reasonable objection. Let us not misrepresent
