Yeah, even at companies with a lot of red tape and procedure, in the end it's just a group of people and people make stupid oversights. Doesn't mean there shouldn't be public shaming, but usually stuff like this isn't so

I don't know if you're trolling or not. When you get good at it, it is much easier to skim through 10 lines of fluff to find the answer (that is usually visually distinguished in a code block) then it is to parse through 4 really

Honest question, do you complain that USA implemented this same type program in 2008/2009? Or do you just care now because this affects US travelers?

I've also worked in a highly technical customer service role and you are absolutely right. 95% of our time was spent on 5% of our customers. Even though they spend millions of dollars a year on support, they easily cost us more than th

I've worked at companies who sell software to state governments. They usually run sensitive software in their own servers with no external internet access. We would have to send someone onsite to perform their upgrades or send detailed

One day it's going to bite these companies in the butt when they continue to be so openly hostile to the people who create free content for them, right?

One of the best things and worst things about America is the first amendment. It is amazing that you can say or make just about anything without the government jailing you or shutting you down. It feels horrible because that freedom necessi

I'm not sure this is indicative of a failing on Bard and Google's parts. I think most movie/dramas that humans create often follow these stereotypes. AIs like Bard train on the content that humans make and build connections b

The best option I found was to explain - multiple times - to my grandparents that these scams exist and how each of them work. Hopefully if they are ever approached by a scammer, they'll remember my warning and that hesitation will bre

My understanding is that only the balloon from last week was huge and easy to see with the human eye. I believe the other UAFs are much smaller. Also there were 3 or 4 during the Trump administration and noone noticed them with their naked
