If you quote the article, then you are implicitly telling others that you have read it. But it's pretty clear you have not?

That quote is very interesting, because I think I interpreted it the opposite of you: "we could be attacked by an infinity of problems, which means that worrying about all of them is statistically unpractical"

I don't know what Europeans are worried about. You'd have to ask them. Who's dying from "heat warnings"? Are you trying to make my point about rampant idiocy in my country? If you were assuming that I'm Europea

I am one of the ignorant ones, after all, so I'm probably wrong on this. Wait...

The fact that it's the job of the browser to mix the channels in real time is a huge design flaw. Everyone else does this on the server and then sends you the results. If my computer is going to do all the work, then I want all the kno

It's much more than a set of lies, it's an entire cultural phenomenon 100% USA made. Unlike many of our worst ideas, I'm actually surprised this one didn't become more popular around the world.

> as if it's something that needs to be debunked. When half the country has believed something for close to a half a century, across multiple generations, you bet your ass it needs to be debunked. The fallacy of the "precious j

> This looks clearly...a staffing problem.. I think that big tech recently decided that I got 99 problems but staffing ain't one I guess Nothing is a staffing problem when you make a rule that firing people is always the solution.

It certainly shouldn't require masses of blank eyed fans all making highly emotional pleads to protect the sensitivity of their favorite logo. That's gross even by Microsoft standards.

That does nothing to defend Google since the quality of the model is irrelevant to the accusation.

That's a surprisingly underused plot for a sci Fi horror film. Considering the grand total of experiments we've ran on the little guys, I'm kinda surprised we haven't bred Mousezilla yet

Of all the fucked up things in this comment, giving a single Engineer lifetime responsibility for all bugs in code they wrote is probably the dumbest. And it's slowly becoming the norm. The last place I worked at, a large and well know
