I remember trying "call " a few years ago and Google Assistant cheerfully responding with "calling , doctor". I couldn't believe it, but back then, instead of searching my contact …

My current company uses Slack as the main messaging app, while still using Teams as part of the Microsoft package, for its integrations with Outlook and conference hardware and sof…

Well, you're dangerously wrong in simply assuming it's not smallpox, having zero evidence for your thesis.

There's no Trump and dem opposition in the rest of the world, yet lockdowns have still been applied. US internal politics really is not the only reason why things happen.

It does. If the employees of the company have a coherent stance on something, that's exactly what the company's stance is.

How could you ever trust an employer who cuts salaries, but awards themselves a bonus?

I think the problem is more complex here, as these are usually not in-house marketing people who have willingly chosen to market cigarettes, but rather people working for external …

I use TiddlyWiki ( https://tiddlywiki.com ). It's brilliantly simple to set up (doesn't require a database for example), has a small but nice plugin ecosystem with things like Mark…

We do teach kids not to talk to strangers in the street and consider it quite important, I think. What's so much different about teaching them how not to get robbed on-line? It's n…

Well, the cow is a tad worse off than before...

> abstraction isn't something telling you how you should act, but instead something telling you how you should react? A little bit OT: I don't think acting and reacting are separat…

PayPal (linked to my credit card as well) is #2 for me. Most of the time I use instant transfer services (there are quite a lot of them in Poland, integrated with most banks in the…

They wrote about it here (The Problem section): https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/

> Also, credit cards are already very convenient and near universally accepted. It's hard to compete with that. Oh, come on. Maybe it's a US thing, but credit card is the last but …

I had exactly one issue with a macOS upgrade - when they introduced APFS. The upgrade process has failed in the middle with an FS-related error, but AFAIR it resolved itself after …

And interior of the ISS :). Thanks, that was a fantastic journey!

Actually they did (in 2005) try to slip a vote on software patents in by scheduling it for an "Agriculture and Fishery" meeting. Luckily, they failed. https://www.theguardian.com/t…

You're joking here, but a politician in Poland, when asked about how shall a popular link sharing platform (wykop.pl) deal with submissions, of which there are 100k / hour in peak …

Nobody comes even close to understanding the full complexity and effects of what they're doing or saying. I guess we could say that each one of us is more or less rational, but tre…

I like the pun ;).

Given knowledge that the CEO is a male, assuming the relationship is with a female is simply based on statistics.

We use kind of a tiny in-house PPL for document analysis at https://scanye.io/ . We haven't open-sourced it though.

No, it's not. Unless used very sparingly, it makes for a shitty user experience. I'd risk a guess that the average user doesn't have any problem with aggregate, anonymized data bei…

Which was possible because Microsoft decided to use Core Foundation APIs for sorting instead of their own implementation for spreadsheet data. Or maybe it's not for spreadsheet dat…

I think you may have chosen risky colors, given the Crimea conflict is still quite fresh ;).
