Well, it potentially does make it “ok” in the sense of being less bad than letting the guy off. That’s why the legal concept exists. There are other contexts where there is no good…

McDonald’s getting a strongly worded letter from the Mayor of Hamburg over their use of “cheeseburger”.

It just means they were completely transparent with the court when getting the data, and believed themselves it was lawful. What’s hard to believe about that? They clearly put some…

Yes too much “it’s not X it’s Y”, and too few references to personal actions/biography.

Is there a SOTA OCR model that prioritises failing in a debuggable way? What I want is an output that records which sections of the image have contributed to each word/letter, pref…

This is almost certainly because a member of the public phoned the police/FBI and alleged that GM was /u/maxwellhill, not that it was part of the FBI’s case. Look at the other stuf…

Other ones that to me felt like completely fair value and better than anything I had as a child were the Creator Bunny, Space Telescope, and Space Robot. Something like £18/£25/£25…

I don’t think this is true at all. What do you mean by “general bricks”? If anything there is more brick-built stuff nowadays. For example the Creator 3-in-1 Castle (which I got fo…

The citation for your quote appears to be an unsourced Reddit post. The agreement at the heart of 5 Eyes is to not surveil the other nations - this must be up there for most persis…

This is literally my favourite website, I use it several times a week. I do wish the search was a bit better; it could show the matching quote below the matching frame, and it does…

You can do this [0] just press Add Meme after Make GIF. [0] https://frinkiac.com/video/S06E08/ZzAEDYhlQxZ5l2A8E5aowS1M82...

Yeah, what a tiny joy when it "picked up" the canvas as it went

Both the use of “founder” and “the” are inaccurate and misleading (I notice you’ve switched to “a” without comment). He was a government adviser 20 years ago that was central to th…

Ludicrous to call William Perrin “the founder” of Ofcom or refer to it as “his” quango. Passive voice, evidence free conspiracy nonsense that flatters HN biases? Updoots to the lef…

The homepage is manually edited isn't it?

The phrase they actually use is "content recommender system". The definition is in the link; you could maybe see some search features falling into it but I don't see how Wikipedia …

One of the main motivations for this law was pro-suicide and pro-anorexia content being pushed to teenage girls. In particular Molly Russell's death received a lot of press coverag…

Is Wikipedia actually Category 1? Seems to require an algorithmic feed to be Category 1 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2025/9780348267174

I think the general point is you are presenting something as a hardship that is a quality of life unachievable for most people (even in the UK), and unthinkable for most people in …

I don't think this hypothetical behaviour would change the 95th percentile or any percentiles below it, would it? If the income of everybody above the 80th percentile dropped to be…

> "Do you know of other western countries that send cops to your house because you posted memes on X ?" This guy was prosecuted in the US for posting a meme on Twitter [0]. I imagi…

Do you have any examples of people being arrested for criticising a law? Most of the time these dystopian descriptions of the UK turn out to be completely overblown nonsense when y…

The forum is still up so was this thread in fact mistaken?

It’s totally superficial rage porn. Solutions offered include “a total rethink” and “an integrated strategy”. Brilliant…

His examples of “feeling poor” are nothing to do with being poor and are in fact mostly signs of largesse or affluence. Councils expanded the number of SEND pupils eligible for fre…
