I don't understand why it needs "funding"--I was under the impression it was a subsidiary of whatever the Virgin parent company is, but I guess I was wrong.

Sorry to hear. Hope your kids enjoy his recording. But yes, it would be weird to generate more stuff spoken by your father by using this technology. And beyond that, what's even the point? It's not your dad.

Do you think the reason why we don't have that is because of a lack of money, and not a lack of political will?

To be clear, this doesn't affect subscriptions bought via Amazon that people read on the Kindle app on iPads and Android tablets?

That's something I did in 2015 and 2016. I was young and stupid.

This just willfully tone deaf as to what was going on and being implied then. The other component of it was this kind of "blame China" attitude he was trying to engender to deflect blame, and that's another reason why the the

Because we had a racist president who said stuff like "China virus" in a stupid and demeaning way--i.e. what may have been a valid and reasonable argument or position had its credibility ruined by being taken up by Trump and his i

Well, as the poster said, it backfired on them lol (I do not believe in the intentional malicious leak theory, to be clear)

People who work for political campaigns need to know, businesses and investors might like to plan, etc.

Why useless? People have to attempt to predict the outcomes of elections, and have to do their best.
47.
by ss108 4y ago
Yeah. In 2016 when people were like "hurr durr experts suck, they predicted Hillary would win and she lost", it was exasperating. If a model predicted an outcome with 60-70% certainty, and the less likely scenario happens, model w

It doesn't matter. "Every day employees" are not the ones who needed to do this.

It feels like using one computer to me. I have only used it since WSL2 came out--maybe that accounts for the difference? With VSCode, it feels native to edit code on WSL.

by ss108 4y ago
I have used both Windows and Ubuntu, and now Windows only with WSL for dev. I don't get what dislike about Windows tbh. I've never truly used OSX, so maybe my opinion isn't useful. I have had 0 issues with WSL thus far, am qu

Jesus, I wish I could downvote this 50 times. What do you expect a guy who forms an emotional relationship with a chatbot thing to accomplish with a dating app? Most likely would only induce further despair because he would get few, if any,

Standing here would be about whether Wikimedia or their members is aggrieved or injured, etc. The poster to whom you replied is wondering how the org would meet the legal requirements.

Their counsel is irrelevant to the question of standing.

It is of course ironic you take a condescending tone while trying to convince me I am judgmental and condescending. I don't engage with any social media, and I'm out there in the world plenty. I read the news, I've spoken wit

It is good to see someone else doesn't believe that we should start moving moral goalposts just because society starts sliding into depravity. What would all these people objecting to this do if they were in a time and place where some

Who cares? I'm not making an argument as to what wins elections, I'm stating moral conclusions.

Really? Recognizing that people who vote out of bigotry and ignorance are trash is what led to that? Calling out people who openly and proudly believe in conspiracy theories is what led to that? Assuming you aren't a Trump supporter, w
