Now I'm being super pedantic, but every town can't have the same "landmark" law. What makes a law a "landmark" is that other municipalities look to it for direction. In a world where the California law exists, and the…
The municipality is already qualifying the sentence! Instead of "NYC announces click-to-cancel law" they qualify it with "landmark". I think it's silly for a municipality to lie (by omission?) in their own press…
The term MMO is about the game/server architecture more than the size of the game. MMOs are online games with a single (or sharded) persistent gamestate. That's it. Most shooters have rounds that restart, breaking the…
There's 1655 calories in a pound of uncooked rice, so with 330lbs you are sitting at ~1500 calories a day for a whole year. You wouldn't starve to death, but you'd absolutely want to supplement (both for more calories…
The layoffs being "due to AI" is usually about freeing up the budget to build a couple datacenters and buy GPUs. And they have to layoff 14% of their workforce because they are buying those GPUs at many times the normal…
I was thinking all it takes is an IMU to tell if the car is a rockin'
Not everyone will take a job that requires clearance because they are usually "defense" related.
Until nukes are going off, Pax Americana stands strong.
Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking of the CCPA which does have some revenue or user count minimums.
It's kinda wild that you don't need to be a professional engineer to store PII. The GDPR and other frameworks for PII usually do have a minimum size (in # of users) before they apply, which would help hobbyists. The…
The cards _could_ be copyrightable, would probably be essentially a coin flip if you took it to court. No individual card text (limited to just the mechanics) is copyrightable but the setlist of cards might be. It would…
Gemini works well enough in Search and in Meet. And it's baked into the products so it's dead simple to use. I don't think Google is targeting developers with their AI, they are targeting their product's users.
Solar can always just go on the roof...
"Filter" is a Tik-tok / snapchat / instagram parlance for any kind of overlay / transformation. It's grown larger than just sepia filters and similar. All the ones that do facial tracking and overlay a mustache or w/e…
They are constantly evolving the menu and it's entirely data-driven, so yes? It's not down to the person level like tiktok but if they could, it would be.
I can get a cheeseburger delivered, or there's a dozen places within a 15 minute walk to get one. I can hardly leave the house without seeing an ad for one or some other fast food item on the side of a bus. I can't…
Cheeseburgers are everywhere, are addictive to some, and eventually eating enough will kill you. Put another way: If McDonalds sees I eat 5 cheeseburgers a day, at what point do they have to stop serving me for my own…
The poster above me suggested advertising is inherently evil and should be abolished, I was just countering that absolutist position. I don't disagree that there are absolutely some awful ads out there, and that they…
Advertisement serves an important purpose. If you were a farmer with a mule and the tractor salesman came by for the first time, that would be life-changing for you. You wouldn't say that salesman was evil for…

An AuthN/Z system would probably end looking like counterexample #2, which immediately raised a red flag for me about the article.
Youtube really wants to send me down the alt-right pipeline. I watch a few WW2 history videos and suddenly I must identify with "Mr Mustache" as the kids say. TikTok wants to radicalize me the other way, and shows me…
Valve is not building all this Linux Compatibility out of the goodness of their hearts. They are doing it to avoid being shutdown by Microsoft, who effectively had a monopoly on the OS people used to play games. It's a…
Before SSR (unless you were using PHP I guess) you had to ship a shell of a site with all the conditionals being decided only AFTER the browser has gotten all the HTML + JS pulled down. If you need to make any API…
If it was a textile-style-hemp farmer getting the last few bucks out of their crop via a loophole, that I can understand. Not great, but I can rationalize it. Someone growing the same plant that is regulated by…
