When I was a child myself I hated this and as adult I am still unconvinced it is necessary. Also this sort of stuff made me lose lots of trust for educators in general, even university level ones are willing to teach junk.

Last I checked Germany and Russia aren't directly fighting. And Russia's problem is with US, that it didn't had that much trade to begin with. Similarly nobody is fighting China yet. I don't believe free trade is a perma

I will repeat, again, what I say when I see people commenting about this with such bad take. It is the US companies that do this. The worst cookie banners all come from US companies. Examples: "Admiral" one of the biggest cookie b

They are absolutely allowed to do that. And PR firms, fact checking firms, etc... exist to help with that kind of thing. I am not saying a product like this shouldn't exist, I am just saying that CF making this offering is bad idea to

Sergey Brin and others at Google are still ignoring that TEXT generation is equally messed up with Gemini. The problem is not image generation, is the entire thing.

To me this looks like so much bad idea. From my reading of the post cloudflare is diving headfirst into moderation and culture wars. The paying users of CF will pay CF to enforce their political biases, and then the users of the AIs will ac

I am curious what country and industry you work. Most developed countries and some major developing ones have less than 2 children per couple in their data. The data is probably correct thus your anecdote would be an exception. Thus makes m

Trust me. In some countries either you charge prisoners... Or you don't make prisoners (meaning kill criminals even for small crimes. Or let them roam free and have the population kill them instead).

I think the silliest part of complaining Middle Earth is based on Earth, is the fact that Middle Earth IS Earth, explicitly. Tolkien states that LoTR is a "prequel" of real world history of sorts. Ditto for Wheel of Time, that ins

It didn't work in practice. In many situations names don't work. One example would be games with local lan support, and you use IP addresses to make sure you are connecting to the right server. Other would be tiny embedded devices

So a company to pay 500 euro in wages, spends 1000. Thus 1000/500 = 1.2 to 1.3. I don't get it.

I am in Portugal. Here your real wages are tiny compared to the company expenses. To start: everyone pays 34.75% of mandatory social contribution, even if you are on minimum wage. Government tricks people saying the contribution is "on

This article made me a little sad. The article is about how people with a fear of iodine overdose resisted the idea of adding it to salt on first place. I spent my childhood in Brazil, a country where there are a good amount of natural iodi

I am sad they had to shut down in Brazil, that is one of the few countries that has free speech in the constitution. What is going on is basically the government ignoring the constitution, and the Supreme Court allowing it, because they are

A theory I saw is divorce ban is to prevent women from switching husband. And thus give men a reason to actually marry and have a life within women rules. When divorce is too easy, then men avoid marriage and focus on random sex, since they

Saudi Arabia seemly is trying to have peace with Yemen and there are rumors that US is not bombing Yemen because of this too. Seemly is better to ignore Yemen despite their attacks than risk Yemen bombing Saudi oil operations again.

Heh, I always wondered who was the "Tengen" I saw in Paperboy. Also Paperboy was an absolute blast of a game, and hilarious. Quite hard though.

It was because I played Torus Trooper and the source files came with the game, that I found out that D existed. Sadly never had the opportunity to try to use it.

You must live in a wealthy place. In my experience in most places libraries are not common. They use lots of space and money, that usually is needed for more important things like building sewers in neighborhoods that have none.
