Bing beats Google for certain queries - most notably when I invoke the AI chat. And that’s going to be the challenge going forward. For non destination queries, that’s those that are not about finding a specific website, ai search is just s

You are overestimating the value of drones. They will not outplay any defense, as can be with the Russian drones getting shot down by Gepards. They will also have a hard time against directed energy weapons. However they are indeed a huge a

In terms of combined arms, I tried playing the remake of the original and realised quickly that all my humans were just run over by tanks, even in a mixed group. What do you use them for?

There is no reason to downvote a true statement, but it can perhaps be simplified somewhat in that Jefferson did not consider his slaves fully human, thus they can never be part of the natural aristocracy. Good enough to rape, sure. Good en

He spent twenty years in a prison. I imagine it was a habit left over from then. A slightly detrimental one, but obviously not one that set him back too much.

Counterpoint: Pareto principle. For 20% of effort you get 80% of results, so you are better of 1/5ing-assing 2 things for a total of less than half the effort and more than 50% more gains. Your grandfathers advice might have been sane

Its very funny because .NET is open source and does not require a license. It has also steadily grown more powerful over years. But it comes from the corporate world, was a Windows only product for years and (worse) was made by Microsoft, s

You can buy a copy of Vincent van Goghs Starry Starry Night for a few dollars, totally legally. There is no scarcity here. The only meaningful difference between it and the one in the Museum of Modern art is that it was painted by the Van G

No. What we must have is the right of interoperability. If a service has both a server and client then it needs to be considered a defecto monopoly unless it allows any other client access to its servers. It doesn’t solve any problem for me

If that was a selection box on the site when you bought something there, do you think 0% would check it? If not, I don’t think the comment is appropriate.

A couple things: your fonts render better, your text is in Unicode (may not be a big deal for Americans, just trust me that I care that I can write reliably in my own language), your kernel has to support many more abstractions. But the rea

I was overly dismissive in my comment. It would have been more correct to write "analog only" photos. If you wife wants photo albums then it is pretty easy to order them with the photos you want and get any number of companies to

This is an interesting idea, but I feel like it is a big oversight not to have build in support for automatically getting certificates. Instead the docs have you do something manual with certbot (a complete nono if you believe in automatic

You can buy a digital photo frame (essentially a screen with a bit of firmware) thats nice for 100 dollars. You can load all the pictures you want there and see them as often as you like, you can share them with others and actually keep the

Yeah its completely pointless as a value proposition. I mean I just go done scanning all my predigital photos because analog photos suck. Why would anybody want this?

Hard disagree on that - I would be much better of with a US health insurance were there weren't months of waiting time for treatment. Sure if I am unemployed I would be better of with the version we have in Denmark, but I won't be
