Friend, we are discussing a demonstration of systemic bias in hiring decisions made by AI models. The argument is that it is someone's fundamental right to be treated the same as someone else with the same qualifications but different

The license doesn't prevent those leeches from succeeding. They will republish your app, whether it is fully proprietary or licensed under the GPLv3, and neither Google nor Apple will respond to takedown requests for apps. We get many

Apparently there is a Federal restriction: we can opt to eliminate DST, like Hawaii and Arizona, but we cannot unilaterally decide to adopt "permanent DST" as did British Columbia. So we'll have to figure out how to get both

Does there need to be a principled justification beyond that? I used to be on the side of the traffic, as in, it does not matter where traffic originates as long as it's not abusive. But the fact is that too many scrapers exist which a

Basically all smart TVs do that. It is how they provide "contextual" features based on the content you're watching, like the names of the actors visible on screen.

Reminder that the original copyright term was 14 years, with a single 14-year extension. If this were still the norm, it would feel crazy that blockbuster movie studios are still recycling comic book characters from the 1950s.

They don't conflict, if the generated code is acceptable . Maybe I'm holding it wrong, or I'm not using the right combination of plugins and MCPs. But if I'm not allowed to manually correct the generated output, then

There's a concept called "allyship", part of which means listening to marginalized people expressing negative reactions to certain popular demeaning acts and acting on their behalf to stop those acts. In recent memory, you se

If it's your customers' data you can use E2EE. If you need to read it, it is probably cheapest to keep everything on EU infrastructure to avoid paying repeat egress costs. You might also consider shipping software-as-software, whi

The systemd issue in particular is something I've experienced. nixpkgs does not split systemd into many packages, so everything that needs udev, libsystemd, etc depends on it, so replacing systemd via an overlay will cause a mass rebui

Kotlin works around this by not exposing the backing field directly; a "field" becomes a "property" which has a getter and setter under the hood. Attempts to read uninitialized properties are compile-time errors. You can

US legislators have almost no say in how schools are run. The DoE is a husk, and states call the shots. In my state of Oregon, you will have wildly different curricula and standards depending on your district, because there's almost no
