I got vaxxed as soon as I reasonably could and I never want to get COVID, but if that's true it really does seem insulting to require vaccination for people who can prove they already had COVID. It's like they did get vaccinated b

I doubt Netflix could (easily) make a product that replicates linear network TV (as much as linear TV itself is kind of a shitty product, which I say as a defender of it here). Here's why: (1) Based on what I've seen from spending

It's a good thing they screen applicants to make sure none of them have used alcohol in the last month. Imagine -- hiring someone who drinks alcohol for a driving job. The irresponsibility would be truly unthinkable.

Yeah I'm unclear on why this even requires a clever algorithm. I'd think that given the 1.4 million precomputed hashes, a simple/naive Python function (<10 lines) that builds a dict mapping hash -> (list of images with

Is it taxed at (average?) income tax rates or VAT rates or what? Unless it's taxed at the highest marginal income tax rate, it seems like there's still at least some loophole potential.

I get your point but I like that you describe the name of a character in a fictional TV show as a "thing of the real world", as compared to the name of a coworker you speak with regularly. :p

Isn't it entirely possible that they did exclude GPL licensed code, but somebody somewhere has violated copyright and copy-pasted that snippet into non-GPL-licensed code that they trained on? They could try to trace every single code
