Too many times in human history we have decided that $GROUP was not fully human, did not have a full mind. This is properly overkill, but that is literally what erroring on the side of caution is.

Sometimes I am convinced that there are no good products and so all advertising must happen for bad products. I mean how often do you see an ad for a product, buy it (not even from the ad itself, maybe from a recommendation from a friend) a

Oh, for sure. It's phenomenally engaging. The main issue is that the first chapter is essentially a fly on the night sky, watching the events that happened on the day that Harry Potter's parents were murdered. Super cool, but abso

Right and left has little meaning in modern politics. What is a bit more concerning is the allegations of getting money from Russian. As for a resurgence of the nazi horror: their leader is in a mixed race lesbian relationship.

It took me more than a week to go through the first chapter in the first Harry Potter book. It took me 4 days to finish the rest. This is because the pacing was wrong - the first chapter should have been the last.

That is correct and important, but does any part of that not apply to the only manual?

When you transfer other people's thoughts. On this board, we are engaged in pursuits where the truth matters. A lot of writing is about showing that you belong to the right in-groups. That is better done by repeating their talking poin

I think modern series tend to be better at that. Lots of author kill people you wouldn't expect them to kill early on so that you know that this is a universe where even if the protagonists must survive for plot reasons, there is still

What is a book? I mean, I spent some time over the last couple of days reading parts of the PostgreSQL manual — if you printed it it would be a gigantic book but it's online and linked. Does that make it not a book? Half a book? Still

If you had told yourself at age 20 that in that $NUMBER_OF_YEARS you would be able to sit in a car that drives itself, while talking to an AI researching babylonian grammar, it would have blown your mind. As we got older, we can shift the g

Netflix is way overfitted on short-term money like that, to make up for the fact that they have an extremely tiny library.

by tomjen3 1mo ago
Netflix is misassigned as a technology company, they are primarily a media company. They are FANG, so they have some of the best engineers, and they need something to do. Netflix also hit the problem of now having so many users that they ca

Yeah, I remember. I also remember it automatically blocking popup ads. That was a huge deal.

by tomjen3 1mo ago
There are good solid reasons why Manifest v3 is preferable for most extensions. The issue is that adblocking doesn't work with it, so an addition, or workaround should be made, but when Google has the amount of influence they have, tha

Florence Nightingale had a permanent subsidy from her very wealthy father. (Essentially IBI). She chose to do something with her life. But there were thousands of times the number of people with wealthy parents than there are famous people.

This model is European. There are quite a lot of instances where under GDPR, you have the right to have incorrect information about you corrected. I also think you have the right to appeal a decision to a human (I got that message from Redd
