Why was it necessary to bring in pronouns to this discussion? It seems like a truly irrelevant dog whistle specifically in order to offend the identity of those that are non-binary…

I feel like they missed out by not saying “Meet the new Meet, same as the old Meet!”.

I 100% agree with this, and it’s why we see a lot of lucky billionaires looking to give back to society. What do you do when you’ve reached the pinnacle of achievement? How can you…

Did they? I’d argue that the next highest competitor that is competing legitimately would bring just as many eyeballs to the games. People are attracted by watching the best of the…

Yup same here. So many for Shoppers Drug Mart or other silliness. They’re very clearly fake and have all the tell-tale signs of spam that Google used to properly filter for me. I’m…

There was another comment that highlighted how he's trying to bury this story right now: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2021-08-05... That comment seems to have …

Exactly. Most of my family and I cut ties with a family member as she went batshit insane and started thinking the secret police were after her. Started yelling and screaming at al…

Yeah it's a brilliant game, and quickly became one of my all-time favourites. I've never felt so invested in my player character's personality. I loved it. However, I'm also confus…

On top of that, we currently have a grossly overburdened healthcare system that in no way could support this. This presents so many clear problems that I wonder if the people are t…

There's a lot of great arguments presented in the article for why we shouldn't go "balls to the wall on experimentation". The drug costs $56k a year, can cause some severe brain bl…

Pretty sure tons of eyelids were batted very heavily at FB when that happened. They got fined, there was lots of news articles that you can still find now. I don't know why you're …

IIRC Nasa put out a bunch of RFPs last year for studying, identifying, and alleviating that exact problem.

Wow this is a brilliant article. I highly recommend it if you're sitting on the fence -- it's very captivating.

I'm not so sure. Spending the time (and money) researching it and developing a patent tends to indicate a desire for them to integrate the technology. I'd argue against "is going t…

I'd hope it would just be a simple button to "bookmark" the content or program the coordinates into your navigation. Otherwise this seems like the exact kind of distracted driving …

Honestly the ratings used to be brilliantly accurate. They've been making them less accurate ever since, to the point where I think there's next to no content-awareness going on an…

Moving is also extremely expensive and isolating. If you can't afford housing, you can't really afford moving either. They can either stay where they have social and charitable con…

Honestly I'm not sure anyone has an end game here. Someone on UKpolitics posted a basic link to a recent news article and got banned. People are getting banned for mentioning her. …

I'd argue that it's not Reddit's aggressive moderation, but that Reddit is now so popular that the racist, illegal, fickle beast that can no longer stay on topic. If they weren't s…

I remember hearing about Jacquard years ago. Given I haven't heard or seen any applications of it gaining traction since the launch leads me to think it's just going to go into the…

I remember seeing an article on hacker news before about this. Someone actually worked out the math and you're right: there's such an infinitesimally small chance of having both an…

This is a pretty decent social engineering attack, I'm actually kind of impressed at the long-con set up. Shows that nearly anyone can be compromised merely through dedicated socia…

I can't tell if it's because my fingers are simply getting too "bumbling" to type correctly, but I've also noticed that auto correct is a lot worse on Android. Frequently my typos …

Personally, I don't know if I would ever even consider hiring from a site called "hire me you cowards". It just seems incredibly self important and individualistic. Honestly, I fin…

Good! Glad to see cybersecurity taken seriously.
