Same here. Mostly only use google for localized results when I'm trying to find a specific product to buy locally. Or if I have to find something specific and need to use the "site:" syntax, which they haven't yet remove

My example is a bit of a contrived stretch, but laws are hard to reason about as they're not binary: Someone that designed a robot that goes to the movie theater, sits in your seat, and streams the movie to your computer so you can go

Sorry, but those are not small personal projects. Just pay the 20/40/100$ to have it delivered by a professional vehicle or transport company that has economies of scale instead of buying a 3 ton capacity vehicle as your daily dri

I find this argument really alien to me. I'm personally not a huge "environmental" person but when I see this argument I substitute ICE car with horse, electric car with car, electricity with "fuel" and charging sta

Sewage is easy. Just go in the middle of nowhere, dig a hole and off you go. Heck in an emergency any place on the ground will do. Where do you think animals in the wild shit? And yes I've had to do violent diarrhea in the middle of no

Not OP. But some of us have seen how the life can function "just fine" even without the huge amount of control and laws that the EU has. I'm gonna be a bit crass here to convey my point. I currently live in a "shithole&q

And the entire content area for some no-longer-relevant reason is maxed at 1000px. It's like the designers got stuck with bootstrap from 2014 and can't seem to get unstuck.

They're apparently "banned" or "dangerous" at fuel filling stations. Whether that's actually true is a different matter, but all the stations I've been to have had prominent "cellphones not allowed&qu

They said "So when a journalist notices a bug in their article and has to "retract a release", how is that not what we do every single day?" And they themselves were responding to someone criticizing media for using &quo

So is no one questioning that maybe the search subsystem talks to the "website score" (or whatever it's called in Google-speak), to determine if it's relevant? And perhaps that score is influenced by how many valid ads t

Because journalism is not the way to solve this, and we all think that it will. The way to solve it is for "investigators" to get access to said source code and give us an honest assessment. Get someone neutral, get NDAs in place,

The same way we expect "QA" to pick up those bugs before release? Think about the opposite. Imagine we pickup a bug in a live application and update it citing "our QA standards". This magical word does not absolve us of

I once ran into a glass door in my house a few years back. For months after that, I had anxiety and "flashback" like replays of the event when walking anywhere near that door/area in my house. That one incident affected the

As someone with almost no knowledge of Servo, and personally not having a good opinion of the Mozilla foundation, your comment tells me all I need to know why they stopped support of Servo development. Only social initiatives get feel good

You could store a pretty gigantic graph using 600MB. They're not saying we store the weights, they're saying that we store the "architecture" that you overlay the weights on with training.

I'm not saying this specifically is Evil. But neither was Google "first" instance of whatever it did to start it's downward descent. At the time it was probably something silly and a thing we thought we could brush off d

This is unfortunately Valve's equivalent of the start of Google's 'do no evil' descent into actually doing "evil". I never expected it to be over AI and copyright.

If only we could have a petition and vote directly on this kind of thing, and not close voting until we confirm that X% of the (legal) population has voted. It's 2023, and I'm honestly baffled we haven't done something along

It happens after the first time most likely, but before this one. It's kind of disingenuous to dismiss a free-market solution because it is on some level reactive. For all we know, in the absence of government, when planes were invente

They, like me, read the title as "Photovoltaic", which are solar cells. And the comment was around that presumably. I was also reading the headline and the first comments entirely confused until I read the article and it elaborate

This reminds me of that recent investigation regarding fudged data in those Harvard studies. The fields stored the "original" ID, solidifying their creation sequence, which differed to the displayed sequence - Implying that the fi

I perpetually keep my Hotspot on my phone on. For family members and my spare phone. It doesn't drain the battery in any noticeable way. To me it's weird and so much friction to try figure out wifi Hotspot and password and login.

Don't wanna be that guy, but just search for it on the internet? I don't even live in your continent and can find all sorts of talk about Seattle's DA petty theft policies. So yes laws are still on the books, but they effecti

No it doesn't. You're projecting your own value, interpretation and criticism of libertarian concepts to make it mean "dominance of the strongest". It's no more the case than with all other forms of government, incl

Eventually someone was going to create an easy to list/share/subscribe list that individuals could easily add to their personal Google domain block list. Think EasyList. At that point they would be bleeding ad revenue as all the
