If they were indeed a perfect replica that fact wouldn't matter. They wouldn't know if they were a replica, you wouldn't, and only a 3rd party could ever tell you they weren't the person you love. At that point learning

I'd prefer if someone who knew how to finish story without killing off the protagonist wrote this novel he's never going to write. It worked ONCE, one time. When Ned Stark was executed it was genuinely surprising and that first bo

I dropped graduate research into adversarial algorithms and generative adversarial networks when I realized instead of being paid beans to do something genuinely interesting I could get paid 6 figures to make business software and do whatev

Studies like this will only be compounded by those attempting to quantify how harmful removing an entire nation's children from school for almost 2 years, to socially isolate them from their community while mongering fear of other peop

I used a Palm, a phone about the dimensions of a business card, 1 slammer-pog thick, and loved it. The battery life was dismal, I had to disable most of the software which ran in the background, the camera was crap, but I loved that phone.

What about the possibility guy was going to be asked to leave regardless of recent events, but the executive team decided the least they could do after he put in good time is allow him to collect some PTO on parental leave before handing hi

Man I'm making a big assumption here but for someone who hasn't experienced a plane crashing into their home you seem to have a lot of angst for something that doesn't affect you in the scheme of things. Are you self aware en

I'm sure you're great. Nothing against you, but please don't do that. Just write what you mean if you can't handle some people misinterpreting a sarcastic remark. Let's think about this for a second. What's the

It's your first job out of college. To be honest you aren't a good developer yet. That might sound harsh but it's actually totally okay. I don't care how great your grades in college were, new grads don't understand

To what end then is it useful to drum up public fear of rabies in bats, if what actually leads to deaths seems to be economical problems? People only react stupidly to fear mongering. If you want a delightful read, the Merlin Tuttle Bat Con

Your point is totally valid, most high end careers are overtly hostile toward raising a family. I think it's a different tangentially related issue than that of this study. There's a difference between intelligent and ambitious in

Maybe they were trying to do a little something for the creators, so they stop complaining about the rampant abuse of Youtube's automated copyright systems. Seeing as YT is completely unwilling to curb copyright strike trolling, or if

I was entertained until this undoubtedly vaccinated hero used Covid as an excuse for not taking an in-person exam, despite writing this article in November of 2021. It's okay if you don't want to do something, but stop exploiting

At least Bonzai Buddy was cute. Also I thought I was the only weirdo who sorta kept track of my not-using-chrome streak. If we met for lunch I'm sure everyone else at the table would find themselves staring off into space as our conver

I was enjoying this article right up until he started shaking his fist at the heavens. As it meandered into rambling he undermined what was shaping up to be a good read. Losing me with foregone conclusion his roommate's hesitance to go

Publication bias might suggest otherwise.

They don't care if a few eggs are broken, chalk it up to the price of progress for eliminating the overhead of vetting requests. Money in the bank. Maybe flooding Google with fraudulent requests would force them to take the issue of se

Sounds like a wonderful tool for fundamental CS courses and projects. I remember assignments like creating a Cesar Cipher using Java, being distracted by tangential stuff like what the static keyword means and importing libraries. That lang

The way this article is written makes it seem the focus of the bill is preventing the promotion of Amazon Basics. Personally it strikes me as a bit of a straw-man. The article seems acutely focused on this small aspect of the larger policy.

If only there were legislation in place to subject those breaching this misinformation to legal recourse, so the current administration can enforce which problems exist in the public's eyes. Some real legal tools the government can use

I know you wrote this 8 days ago and I dunno if you'll even see my response but deleted has always been a vague term. There are a ton of reasons not to hard-delete data before you arrive at data mining. I know a lot of concerns regardi

I worked for a government contractor and I understand that behavior completely. The person you spoke with was tasked specifically with damage control. I am positive _somebody_ was grateful for your input, but those people aren't tasked

This policy seems purposefully vague. "Explain its data retention/deletion policies and describe how a user can revoke consent and/or request deletion of the user’s data." My first question before looking into it was, &q

Your boy at darkpatterns.org would love that gem. I don't know if you can give it a more succinct name other than, you know, lying.

It's funny how we look at opinions as reasonable mostly out of convenience to our own foregone conclusions these days instead of statistics from which we derive evidence that substantiates our conclusions. This guy likes masks, he&#x27

Right so those with the privilege of deciding who the good guys are and what constitutes misinformation are current political parties and financial interests. Which is great, because governments have never been responsible for orchestrating

I clearly have no idea what is going on or how business works because the only question plaguing my mind is how on earth reddit manages to be valued at $10B. Does low-key shilling and banner ads really make that much money? I know it doesn&

Being in an office is definitely still a thing. Let's be real, vaccinated adults working from home is a privilege. Mostly a white upper middle class one. Always was.
