I don't even try to read newspaper sites, I just look at the Archive Today version.

I'm sure the UK government (which is against VPNs because they help people circumvent their Online Safety Act) will love them.

What does it mean when it surrounds a word in red? Is this signalling an error?

Putin. It solves the problem of Putin.

EU countries are not required to join the Euro. They are required to say they will at some unspecified future date, but that's another matter.

Dumbfuck-oriented design. As neilv's comment[1] puts it: > The Microsoft Word way has always seemed to support styles more like they were grafted on as an afterthought, without wan…

Also, in 2009 someone suggested re-implementing Eurisko[1], and Yudkowsky cautioned against it: > This is a road that does not lead to Friendly AI, only to AGI. I doubt this has an…
