Ultimately I don't think you will ever be able to rely on technology to validate authenticity . Even if you had a live human expert checking you off, you could still feel you didn't really give your all even though they were sat

I have a Dyson SV22 v15. It was expensive and it doesn't have enough suction for carpets (we have a plug-in for that) but it's much easier to use and everyone in the house prefers it. It doesn't feel particularly high quality

I think you should familiarize yourself with the wikipedia definition of the phrase[1]. It may be helpful to read some examples[2], many of which involve exclusively forced removal. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth

I'll never miss an opportunity to promote this TED talk from James Kunstler[1]. It's a real pleasure to see a skilled hater take a vile trend to task and he does so with gusto. It's from 2004 and really feels like it, but the

It would make more sense to have both, right? Sure you get them on the house first for scale reasons, but why don't you want them on the car?

If you're interested in understanding things rather than just throwing around lazy generalizations, the questions you are asking have answers! Meta is getting sued because they knew that their product caused harm to users, could detect

I like this but find the dismissal of multiple intelligences pretty unconvincing. I'm amenable to the idea that IQ (and associated tests) measures some underlying `well-defined` problem solving ability (with each problem having other f

The simpler pleasures and pains of life are easier to speak to and we have a lot more (proportionally) media that reflects those experiences. Particular media does it better and worse and so there's a hierarchy, but if you are looking

Gotcha - then I think you are misreading my 2nd post - directing consumers away from psudo-scam products is "reversing" the understanding. Not assuming everyone wants one perfect product, but realizing that almost everyone wants t

I don't think that's true. I think deficient or faulty products exist and amazon often sells them. It is not at all assuming that everyone should buy one product - simply that there are psudo-scam products that would be risky for

FWIW I have a friend who makes hardware and it's extremely difficult for him to secure memory at any price. Because AI people have locked up so much of the upcoming supply it's often not a question of how much it will cost but of

I think the idea is true if you reverse it: there are a lot of cheap air fryers that are not worth buying over a one or more "good value" alternatives. This also lines up a lot better with other complaints with amazon: their inabi

Amazon is a net-negative overall but I don't think this understanding is correct: > The only purpose of the ads is to get you to pick an air fryer that isn’t that one (or for the best air fryer, to keep you on track to buy the one

I think that, if you are under the impression that having an administrative back door is an unpopular feature, then you should speak to more of your non-technical friends about their experience of technology. I think you'll find that t

I certainly have some political disagreements with Musk, but more than that I would say the way he runs his companies makes me extremely anxious. The man is just always talking about stuff that never actually happens. In practice it does se

Similar to the dose making the poison - the thing that jumped out at me in this blog was the ratio of scraping to visits. Unless OP is scraping thousands of times a day I don't really think they're in the same class as the bots th

The point the article is making is that people assume that a game having physical media means its fully functional - but that's often not the case. Most games made recently rely on access to centralized servers to make the game playabl

I think the critique of "the search tool no longer respects your settings" is true regardless of it it notifies you of that fact. I did a random search myself and the first result outside of one week I saw was on page 17[1]. There

Certainly all business happens on deadlines, but one day is a very narrow window to be able to show material improvement. Especially if the entire business dies at the end of the day! That short and hard of a deadline does eliminate an enti

I suppose they don't "ask you" in the same way that gmail never presents the user with a dialog explaining that gmail needs to store their emails in order to provide their email service. Instead they explain how the location

I would say that it makes it easier to design a PR and then go back and update that PR as things evolve. For instance, you might decide you need one table so your first PR in the stack adds that table. But then you finish up with 2 or 3 mor

They do ask the device owner - if you review the location services description on android[1] you will see they explicitly say they collect this information from your device. I strongly disagree that they need to get government permission fo

To me this seems like an odd preoccupation for an article that is very little about the Bun rewrite as a running program and very much about the process of the re-write and how it came to be in commits to the repository. You could argue tha

Sony is obviously the villain here (and pretty much always) but I think this points to an unsolved problem with our model of digital ownership: it's based on the media company providing a service...forever? People in this thread are sa
