I believe that's incorrect - the article quotes Meta as saying "By cleaning those ads from search results, the company is also removing them from its systems overall". The real problem as I understand it is that they didn&#x2

Arguing that "disinformation is not a real problem, there's only ideas" is reductionism, like arguing that there's no such a thing as a forest, only trees. And a "battle of ideas" can definitely favor the side

As far as I understand this is the latest shot in the conflict between Spain and its lack of affordable housing. I'd put the symbolic start around 2004-2006 [1] with the movement called "you won't have a house in your fucking

How would I make Firefox better? First, I would stop breaking up the stuff that works. Firefox was ahead of the game with extensions, then deprecated the long tail for a rewrite that took three years [1] (during which Firefox mobile had a

The problem with speaking fast predates 2x speed by decades. From what I've seen it's usually the result of not rehearsing beforehand - beginners tend to panic and speak fast as a result while experienced speakers overestimate how

I don't think it's only from a cynic point of view - the question "if meat is murder, am I a bad person if I literally can't survive without it?" is a fair and interesting one. Of course that's not the point of

First, I feel the implication that "if you aren't reassured is only because you're dumb" is unwarranted. With that out of the way, being expensive does not preclude shoddy work. At the end of the day, the only difference

The thing is, every beginner lockpicker makes a similar point when they realize how easy most locks are: "what's the point of locking my door if anyone can easily get in anyway?". I think the same answers apply here: because
