what is your point, are you trying to argue for this statement of the parent, the reason why Sweden was even brought up? > everyone looks acts and believes all the same things in all the same ways then you are not making a good argumen

> A pivot into AI and spinning off the VR yeah but that would require a vision of something new and AI-based that is actually relevant to the users, and they seem to have trouble in that department.

true, but they've been sitting on their hands as far as actual product improvement, considering their huge resources. Some products have outright regressed with repulsive (and unnecessary) sponsored content and tik-tok style forced fe

One thing we did for the Wells Fargo captcha for example is to pick up the audio version that's there for accessibility and parse that instead. Which makes me wonder now. These more hardcore captchas like Google's where you have t

sure, this is basically a fancy version of the current FAQ's, customer's QnA and current recommendations (similar products, recommended products). Would it be just so much better in experience that it kills Amazon? i kind of doubt

I don't see the "assuming... solely" in their post at all. Seems like they are just pointing out a factor, could be one of many.

I bet they will still continue to hoover up all kinds of data from Europe, either directly or via common crawl. So these "bans" seem really tough to enforce, they may end up in a disadvatageous situation where openai is banned fro

I think this question was nosy and rude. It's perfectly fine to discuss anonymized salaries, or aggregate salaries stats, or volunteer your own (after all, where else can we discuss that?), but why would you want to pry into a specific

um... suffering bodily damage is the same thing as losing some random thing worth a few hundred bucks? I'd really have to disagree on this one, although i guess this distinction might not be the same for everyone. Of course, I dream of

not really, at least personally I'd rather my car gets smashed than someone assaults me directly. so I'd say there's a bit of a difference.

they can harass you for non-liquids too. I honestly don't even know anymore I've had so many random things confiscated. My favorite was a wine bottle opener which got me into trouble after many years of flying in my bag... in Fran

not a bit disturbed by whatever language tools he needs to use but a paper every day (or every week) is insane . No matter what you do, it can't be sustainable for years as he claims.

if 20km/h is a problem, why can't they just mandate a lower limit city-wide. Shared e-scooters are already heavily limited and regulated, physically can't go faster than 10km/h in large chunks of the city center already.

first, rental scooters in Paris are very commonly geofenced and restricted <10km/h in dangerous areas (or automatically completely disabled in some areas) second, regarding this: > People usually don’t cycle as quick consistently

it's going to be even less if they get blanket-bans from cities, so what is your point? that they should give away 5 minutes of their time for free as a promo illegaly, against the new blanket ban law in Paris and become wildly success

So this website says 14 years is the minimum age. Honest question, how is a 14-year-old safer in Parisian traffic on an e-bike than a scooter? You can easily go on sidewalks with bikes, too, if you are so inclined, and falling off into the

This seems to be a scooter-tour-type thing. If you walk around the city, most of what you see is Lime, Tier and Dott, the ones the article talks about.

SOMA is deserted. I stopped going because it's not much different from my suburban desert anymore, so why go there. Empty offices, shuttered restaurants, very few people.

the issue might be not the lawyers getting into trouble necessarily but for those fees to be confiscated. Why would you as a lawyer sign up to do all this work when there is a chance your fees will evaporate?
