... which would work if the stuff outside the oasis was cluttered with something. But the stuff outside the oasis is also approximately empty. So where does the desert of empty end and the oasis of empty begin?

I gave up on CL years ago when the apartment rental lists for Amsteram became overrun with obvious scams. I would flag them, but it never seemed to matter. Then also because of the Backpage disaster they stopped all the person to person (d

Terms of service probably have a clause which says that if you violate their policies you forfeit your expenditures.

> no consequence for false positives This could be the key point. Penalties for letting something bad slip past, but no penalties for falsely flagging. It’s a pragmatic solution, but it is almost by definition inhuman.

I think the algorithms are just minimum standard efforts which provide enough plausible deniability for FB to be able to argue that they provide safeguards on bad content.

I think we have even seen one or two examples here on HN of multimillion dollar accounts which hit inexplicable walls suddenly. I don’t know if any one customer has enough money to get proper first class human service with Facebook.

Few people want to plan ahead (and spend the money that goes along with being prepared)... until they are in trouble. I won't say that good things have come from this war, but it certainly is a wake-up call for countries to get their f

Wok and other pan cooking typically doesn't char or burn the contents, but you get the texture and chemical changes from the cooking (and whatever sauces and seasonings you used with it). Baking vegetables in the oven is super easy and

Every situation is different, but for sure there are a group of people like me who have decided that we will only consider jobs where the work is fully remote. Once in a great while an on-site event or meeting is ok, but a "hybrid&quo

My limited but actual experience says that you can disbelieve all business AI claims and promises. You’ll only be wrong very occasionally, if ever. AI is the latest blockchain. That’s not to say it isn’t being used effectively and innovati

They are indeed the same number of words, but as headlines go they are extremely weak compared to the original. In my view they are not at all close. The original (before HN edited the title) told you what the subject was immediately. It

It's not sly, it's just a correct succinct headline. I don't see an equal or more terse way of saying the same thing.

Large numbers of people coming into Israel? Israel receives fewer than 5 million tourists per year from what I can find online. That is less than 1/10th of the top 5 countries for tourism. And as an amusing point of reference, that is

The before and after are great. There is an art to conveying a feeling with limited resources. That's what makes early computer game images (the good ones... because there were plenty of bad ones) so special. The same could be said ev

My comment wasn't long. I explain the "red" meat point just below that line which you have highlighted. Indeed humans have probably always consumed some form of animal protein. But there's a lot more going on than just

Non-plant protein was probably consumed by almost every pre-historic human. Indeed the quantities were probably lower, but for those societies that consumed insects it could be quite high. Crickets, grasshoppers, and many other insects hav

Forgive my skepticism, but two strongly anti CF posts in 12 hours? I have witnessed the mass conversion of normal people to extremism in the US in the last 10 years, and this is not it. If it is an attempt, it is too soon.
