They'll spend a lot of effort scrubbing any facts that they don't like or don't suit their agenda and narrative. Whether that's the agenda of advertisers, the powers that be, or the "privileged" classes won&#x2

I don't want to be "that guy", but is this the same Germany that arrests people over social media posts because of "hate speech"? It's the first thing that popped into my head after reading the headline. https

That's a lame excuse tbh. If they had no objection they'd allow it for every merchant and then only after said merchant has a lot of "disputes,etc" would they then block said merchant from selling such services. They eve

What's ironic is they're doing the opposite of what they claim Elon Musk is doing. So they randomly inject Elon Musk into a conversation about this topic to add that association. Imagine the insanity if bings ChatGPT got a hold of

Google plus is still "around", it's just not a social media network. A conspiracy theorist would argue it succeeded in its purpose: to unify all accounts under a single Google account banner. Google music, android, YouTube, m

Not OP, but one bit that helped for us was insisting that our second newborn doesn't get given a "pacifier" to stop crying (which the nurses all want to do at the hospital because something something... quiet). My best guess

South Africa, and it's quite grey weather atm. We're just about to enter winter. But thank you for asking how I'm discriminated against based on the color of my skin by government laws.

They don't need to learn your domain. Your domain is not special and for all intents and purposes is irrelevant. Thats my take from what I've seen. The issues that companies face are all generic and bad no matter the domain. Think

Interesting choices. How about we talk about other countries that get away with various bits of blatant authoritarianism, sexism and racism each with their own unique take: Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Germany, etc.

Consultants want and need the business. Telling the client their software/processes/org is a steaming pile of garbage will quickly get you fired and replaced. Been there, had that happen. They also always see consultants as master

Or why we're seeing so much coverage of random "balloons" being shot over US airspace. It just feels off and convenient, even if not a downright conspiracy.

AWS is almost never the answer unless you work at making it cheap and work for you. It's a black hole of insanely convoluted billing and filled with snake oil salesmen (dev ops priests) that'll complicate it so much that you don&#

My understanding of OP is that the farmer used Roundup on his crops knowing full well that his "natural" and "non patented" crops will be killed by Roundup, which the patented plants are naturally immune to by design.

It's an example, but the general gist of that sentence could definitely come up in conversation.

As someone one the receiving end of requirements to implement such algorithmic rules we were also powerless. Sure we can question it, get forwarded some random official government document and voila it gets put into a spec document. Best we

Openly telling or discussing-with a black person that they probably got hired because of their skin color instead of their value as a human with knowledge and capability that is valuable to the company. You'll very quickly be sent for

At this point I don't even know what is "real" about a job posting vs copy-paste boiler plate that the poster/team/HR-person included. I assume it's all crap except for some portion of the required qualificatio

Interesting, coming just now from the thread talking about AGI, AI eliminating most jobs and thus necessitating UBI as a result.

What happens when we digitize ourselves and can run said snapshot image on "computer time"? We can barely cope with legal issues in the digital age now.

Plenty of photographers have specials and nice-ish packages where you can get a few basic head shots in 10-15 mins of their time. Don't take this the wrong way, but "put in some directed effort" at this. Don't settle for

I might be showing my age or bias, but that domain fires red-flags in my brain. Like freedownloadmanager.com kind of naming (ironically, FDM was a really good program back in the day).

That's not capitalism. That's 100% purely government with various parties having supposed benefits out of it. And the fact that we have it in our law books and can't change it or have been unable to till now, then you have to

If you're doing casting its probably a code smell and good indicator of something being off, or you're doing something too exotic. I'd say this applies a good amount to normal compiled languages too. To do types well, I'

Columns. Even early on many years ago, I ignore all the exotic forms and different ways. Leave those for when you need to do something non-standard or programmatic. Choose a form that works for you and looks nice, apply it to all your oddes

Then they need to be that explicit in other places too for consistency. Technically 3rd Party cookies also allow the same (tracking your browsing history, and other "worst case" results), but do they present it that way to the use

I'd be such a person, and I'd absolutely argue the tech even though admitting that it's fallible and makes mistakes. It's the gooey, grey, and fallible humans and justice system around the tech that needs improving. The

I'm not sure what kinds of hardware you guys have seen or been marketed. But from my pov, these are all pretty standard features of most hybrid inverters and come out of the box. The only extra expense to not be grid tied is needing a
