Google search is still pretty good although definitely not what it was in its ad-free heyday. That you would go to the trouble of complaining about it is incomprehensible, given the plethora of credible alternatives.
Step 1. Make an AI that hoovers up content.
Step 2. When owners of content complain about privacy violations and copyright infringement, allay their fears. This AI is for the Good of Humanity.
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit.
Hand tools are spiritual in a way that machine tools will never be. I love the texture and heft of planes. The simplicity and quiet operation. Working with timber and steel is one of the greatest pleasures in life.
Will we be able to fry ants with it?
Yahoo, the cowboys of journalism.
You are a gigachad that lives in the future.
The same story with psychedelic research, the promising results of the years leading up to prohibition were terminated from one day to the next.
We know that these substances are the only medication that is efficacious for treatment resistant depression and indicated for many other disorders.
The problem, as ever, is conservatives making choices they don’t understand for everyone else.
I suppose nobody wants to be a loser but some people are pathological with it. I would imagine a typical scenario is some young guy has reached the limit of what he can achieve in a game and is still losing. They implement cheats for a while and then quit the game entirely because it still doesn’t scratch the itch and now it’s also become boring. Everyone loses.
I like them used sparingly. There’s art to using just the right emoji in the right spot that conveys a message in a way that is difficult to achieve with text.
Microsoft is cancer but then so much of tech is going that way. We shouldn’t lose sight of small victories, this is a good result. The EU is enforcing more openness and transparency in the sector. These are the type of changes we need.
What does that say about the laws that are created under a system such as this, do we gamely continue to follow the letter of the law?
Difficult to feel sorry for an organisation whose only responsibility is to generate profit for their shareholders. If their policy happens to align with normal human ethics it is a coincidence and they will not spare a moment to consider the plight of their customers when the shoe is on the other foot. Fuck them. Long live the pirates.
LED technology has progressed massively and is now at the state where you can carry a device with the lighting power of a car headlamp but it only consumes 10W, weighs 200g and fits in the palm of your hand. I can ride my bike through the woods at night, as if it were daytime. All we need now is some technology that makes the woods less creepy after sundown and we’ll be all set.
Another big one for me is Wikipedia and the information sphere in general. I forgot what it’s like to have to physically go to a library to look something up or learn a new skill, amazing power at our fingertips. Showing my age a bit here.
What else? Computer aided engineering tools, cordless power tools, phones and computers in general, lithium ion batteries, my automated coffee maker kills it, drug technology, I like it all.
I guess Americans are still racist AF then.
Skill issue.
I had the same problem and ascribed it to the introduction of potent strains of ‘skunk’ weed at the time but I think cannabis in general was becoming toxic to my mental health. I’ve gone through this process with many substances and eventually realised I have an attention deficit which is treatable with stimulants. Lisdexamfetamine and caffeine are the only substances that are sustainable in the long term. Meditation helps too. I feel happy.
Fr, like which sovereign nations they will impose sanctions on. Will 30% seem tyrannical? How many should I drop bombs on?
That kind of thing.
What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity. The reason lying in politics is acceptable is because the citizenry is allowing it through the ballot box. These idiots can’t do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else.
Imagine the paradise slaves were living under, they could never be the victims of pay cuts.
