Studies typically use regression to account for stuff like that. CBA to look at the article, but I bet any money that's controlled for.

The back crack is excellent. If I feel it getting sore, it fixes it every time.

I'm not at my computer, but I've got such a thing. It's a ViolentMonkey script, something like LinkedIn Sponsor Block or similar. Does just what you need.

These things are very much weapons. Imagine a collection of data centers, pointed at an adversary.

It's not at all about individual action. This scale of problem requires policy intervention and investment at national levels, and inter-governmental coordination internationally. The big, meaningful wins come from things like stopping

No, music and literature are not like VFX, unless I'm truly blind to the magic of After Effects. A good novel can have you laughing out loud or crying to yourself, they can introduce new ideas that can totally change your outlook on th

The eight-hour-old accounts with strings of digits as handles are also well-known for their balanced and non-partisan perspectives.

Who goes to jail for displaying the ad in a public place? If I ran say, a shop, and put CSAM up on my notice board (because I was paid to) that would see me in prison, surely. The lack of accountability here is astounding.

I'm in the process of buying a house, and getting some support from my Dad. AML checks required by app for both of us, he hated it. I just called the solicitor, said "my Dad hates the app", they immediately presented an alter

So much hate for this piece in the thread, I'm seeing almost no positive comments. I'm tempted to be unkind, but will exercise restraint; we are here, for the most part, technical writers, for whom parsimony is a professional virt

TFA links attention on one hand, and social media and LLM use on the other. I'm not making any points about the scientific validity of those conclusions, but that's the context in which this discussion is taking place. Personally,

I did the same for a friend's birthday recently: put together a bunch of mix CDs as a present. My concession to the fact he probably doesn't use a CD player much was a QR code, with a link to a matching Spotify playlist.

It's a privacy-focused application for secure communication, last place you want slop.

As noted elsewhere in this thread, scale is important: I think it's entirely reasonable to have different rules for platforms with millions of users.
84.
by specproc 3mo ago
Aye, it's the curation, innit. If the platform is making opaque decisions on what you see, then it should be accountable for what it's showing you. I think scale is important here too. If you've got a user-base that's an

There's always time for lessons learned, but gloating isn't mature or helpful. Honestly, I've never stuck around with a bad boss long enough to get into this sort of situation with them. Life is too short. Most managers I&#x2

The article seems to be about arguing with your boss in _public_. Having a fight with anyone in public in a professional environment is pretty intense behaviour. Not saying I've never done it, but it's not usually productive. It t

Interesting framing in "we should ask" and "social media companies should ban". We have sovereign states that make laws, companies must comply with them if they wish to make money in our markets. Otherwise, I think my pe

The author is highlighting an ugly contradiction in a policy that is being rolled out across the anglophone world as we speak. I see plenty less-substantive think pieces on this site, I don't feel it's necessary for every blog pos
