I feel like people make getting an offshore account sound easier than it is. I live in the US, and when I opened my US accounts, I needed to give them my SSN. Canadians don't have SSNs. Just now I tried opening an account at a few rand

Looks like a direct cause and effect relationship. So to avoid the same outcome, you'll just need to buy your phone in a country where Apple makes the App Store available. That seems reasonable to me. I don't think there's a

The official app store will surely have 99.9%+ market share, just like the Play Store does on Android. Not many companies will want to give up 99.9% of their total addressable market. And Google has the same sort of review process Apple doe

I like to call these "coin-operated comments". Someone sees an input phrase "cryptocurrency", a neuron fires, and they respond with an output phrase "money laundering". The pattern recognition is good enough to

Thanks yeah that's the one. It's a completely different site, but the design looks similar to my eyes. That's probably why I got them confused

Didn't these benchmarks used to have box plots for every comparison? Or am I thinking of another site?

Yes it could. If you're working at a company you shouldn't upload your company's secrets to ChatGPT, Bard, Google, Microsoft, Zoho, Discord, Telegram, Pastebin, or any service unless the service is approved first.

My theory is that Google lost the spam war. All the leetcode in the world won't teach someone to build an ML model that can tell whether a website is spam. So Google outsourced the spam detection problem -- they heavily bias their resu

Yes, that's where the saying "not your keys, not your coin" comes from. But that's another deep rabbit hole. Since this thread is about Google (don't forget), what's the equivalent of "not your keys"
