To expand on what I take as your implied argument- Some (small) percentage of people are pedophiles, meaning they're attracted to children. Presumably they can't help that, just as others can't change their sexual preferences

Yes, the way they've decided to do it, it would be easy to detect. But nothing would stop an extension from loading the initial page, loading any resources from it, etc., without displaying it to the user. (Not that many people would

I'm not sure what headers you're referring to, but it would be easy for a browser extension to open urls Ina way that would be indistinguishable from a user click. That said, it should be fairly straightforward for ad networks to

I suppose it depends. My AMD DDR5 machine spends most of its boot time on memory training. Once that's done it's only a few seconds into the OS. (I know I could enable fast boot to skip that most of the time, but I rarely reboot

One of the slowest parts of boot-up is memory checking, where the speed has increased exponentially, but so has the size.

These concepts don't generally apply universally to all things. There are things that are perfectly reasonable to ask for directly. "Could I have a glass of water?" "Could I use your bathroom?" There are other thin

Maybe that's how it works somewhere, but it's hard for me to imagine. It can definitely be an imposition to _ask_ someone directly for help moving, as indeed they might feel obligated to agree. But it seems much less likely in a r

And a polite way to do this is to suggest the thing you want, rather than directly asking for it. You could complement the cake - oh, that looks delicious; what's the occasion? Or, "I'm moving next weekend - looking forward

The real answer is that there's a non-zero cost to maintain these pages, and even more so if robots.txt entries and such have to be maintained for them as well. And if they have no monetary benefit, or even potentially a detriment, it

Then you could also block those pages in robots.txt, no? (You do need to do both though, as otherwise pages can be indexed based on links, without being crawled.)

Most people outside of circles like this one have never heard of Ethereum, let alone USDT or USDC, and when they hear Bitcoin, they think "risky" or "scam". If your product or service is specifically aimed at tech enthu

I don't know if that's going to be the case for long. GPT-4 is far more useful than almost any customer support rep I've dealt with.

I use owncloud, though I also use the low-res tier of google photos for easy access and their automated slideshows and such.

Sounds like the algorithm has learned that you get really fired up about residential trash videos.

Yeah, without an acquisition, YouTube doesn't exist today. And most acquisitions would have turned out far worse than the Google one did. (See Evernote...)

That was the initial rumor; this is an article about an official announcement by the company confirming it. Not a dupe.

The point is you need to collaborate with the LLM, not just expect it to provide fully-formed answers. I've saved countless hours of work over the past few months using GPT-4 to help me solve problems. One general framework can be to

Exactly. I would have happily paid them 10 bucks a month in inflation-adjusted 2012 dollars forever if they'd just maintained the apps and kept them up to date. Instead they focused on adding features few people wanted, and then comp

by tempestn 3y ago
One could argue that their legacy apps were pretty close to done though. If they'd just maintained them rather than switching to the current garbage, they'd probably have a lot happier customers now.

by tempestn 3y ago
Ah, that would explain it. I've run into three fairly major bugs in about as many weeks. It's like they're not doing regression testing at all, and rather than fixing bugs, they just keep rushing out new "features"

I expect you'll find that discontinuing their news linking service in Canada has very little effect on Google's profitability.

The mirror array sounds like a micro version of what's used in large Earth-based telescopes for the same purpose. Their primary mirrors are made out of movable segments to cancel out atmospheric effects. They're just a bit bigger.

I mean, you're literally selecting for that behavior by hunting the ones in the hunting grounds and not the ones in the suburbs.

True, but a pencil's primary use is non-weapon. A skateboard is only used for skating.

Interestingly, some people added others that weren't explicit in the rule. For example, the person riding a skateboard was considered a violation by roughly twice as many people as the person carrying one, despite both being identical

If a stationary phone is suspicious, imagine how suspicious it'll look when prosecutors show someone was using that service.

"Another interesting question is "Is bad 2FA better than no 2FA?", and the answer to that is a resounding No!" Then goes on to explain why it is indeed better. Perhaps meant to write 'worse'?

Ahh I see. Makes sense. For what it's worth I think the USB-C port is still fairly robust because the fragile part is protected by the port, but I get what you're saying.
