Yeah for some reason I find it so creepy that Kia ties your license plate number to your car's functionality. I don't know why but I feel like those two things should operate exclusively.

I do hate it whenever somebody says that line to me, because it's up to the player to choose if they want to play, and that automatically puts them in a certain bucket. I believe the game is rigged from the get-go. Nobody should be abl

Me either, but I thought it did too from what I've heard. I heard that tilling breaks up the soil and allows a lot of carbon release.

Yeah the headline is not great. Organic fertilizers are literally fertilizers with Carbon in them. So ... yeah more carbon in the soil. The meat of the article tells a little more. First, the test was on a plot that had been no-till for 22

As an actual content provider I see this as an opportunity. We pay our journalists real money to write real stories. If AI results haven't started affecting our search traffic they will start to soon. Up until now we've had two ch

Oh thanks -- I only caught that there were injuries, not deaths. Thanks for catching that.

I mostly agree with you, but I also agree with a parent comment that part of that gray area depends on who's side you're on. For instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombings That was

Wayyyy back in 1995 or '96 I was working for a non-profit called "Next Generation Magazine" and our goal was to have young people write content for web sites to get their names out there. Back then it was all local ISPs, so w

I think there's a difference between blaming Meta for blocking what it considers blatant misinformation and the effect that these large entities have on speech overall. It's worth exploring in the same way that Brazil's banni

I can only say that I'd be a customer for this. I'd much rather electrify my old car than throw it away to buy a brand new car with a ton of features (and anti-features [1]) that I don't want. If somebody sold a cheap, mostly

I use Fastmail for my personal account. I use gmail at work. Fastmail's UI is a ton more user-centric. It just feels more thoughtful to me. Fastmail treats keyboard shortcuts as first class citizens, so you can run it almost completely

Worse than the books. They try to pack so much into the last few episodes that -- to me at least -- it didn't even make sense.

It is better, and yeah for anybody who read the series the ending was especially awful. It's been awhile but I feel like they packed at least one book into the last 2-3 episodes of the last season. The book series still has a weird 30

That's a good point, and actually the heart of the issue, and what I missed. In my analogy the stable sidewalk that can hold the milk crate is both the platform and the optimization algorithm. But to your point there's actually a

Right? Like if I'm a cement company, and I build a sidewalk that's really good and stable, stable enough for a person to plant a milk crate on it, and stand on that milk crate, and hold up a big sign that gives clear instructions

Hm that's a good point, and we've done that ourselves. I believe we limited those folks to one private channel and didn't allow them to create new channels. I think of it like an office space. If you bring in some consultants

Why be rich when you can be comfortable? I know many Europeans (and immigrants to Europe) who make plenty of advancement in their careers. I hear you about house ownership though.
