There may also be a Bitter Lesson element here. Ultimately, if law is like other domains, we may be able to solve legal applications with more compute on the limited freely-availab…

There are (non-shady) firms that do exactly this for other areas (flight compensation, most notably). There are some issues with contingency fees in German legal professional law. …

It should be noted that this may not stand on appeal. The full decision is not yet available. All we know is from the press statement. For example, the court ruled that the plainti…

I think there is opportunity for a more design-oriented tool in this space. I tried pitch.com a while back and was a heavy Google Slides user for a while, but, like the author, I k…

I have run into similar issues and I agree, it’s not without flaws. The formula editor is another example, as others have pointed out. A good solution I have found to your particul…

Given that most of our civilization is run using these tools, it boggles the mind how they are still so limited. Why is there a limit of nine levels of headings in Word? Why does i…

To my surprise, what used to be called iWork has been my main "Office" replacement for years now. It's good enough, and it's free. I have switched over most of the non-technical pe…

Interestingly, Apple apparently confirmed to a French website that M4 lacks the interconnect required to make an "Ultra" [0][1], so contrary to what I originally thought, they mayb…

I agree. Nonetheless, I agree with Siracusa that the Mac Pro makes sense as a "halo car" in the Mac lineup. I just find it interesting that you can currently buy a M2 Ultra Mac Pro…

They update the Studio to M3 Ultra now, so M4 Ultra can presumably go directly into the Mac Pro at WWDC? Interesting timing. Maybe they'll change the form factor of the Mac Pro, to…

This kind of thing has been done for a couple of years now, if I understand the Vodafone offer correctly. Binge On in the U.S. (or StreamOn in Germany) by T-Mobile is the same thin…

I learned OpenCV using the O'Reilly book by Bradski and Kaehler (back when it was OpenCV 2). I found it well-structured and it worked for me. They have an updated version for OpenC…

I really like (and currently use) Input Mono. http://input.fontbureau.com

This looks cool, I especially like the lower-case characters (with the possible exception of the descender on the g). Also, the idea of using a monospaced font as a display font ra…

Okay, first off: This is great. The most popular messaging app finally gets the security it needed. And we've just rolled out E2E to 1b 'monthly active users'. However, I have alwa…

Out of sheer curiosity: Does anyone know/suspect if Netflix is actually using techniques in addition to blocking IPs of known proxy/vpn/unblocking services? Because I would imagine…

Seems down (Error 500). However, the books that were published can be viewed at Monoskop: http://monoskop.org/log/?p=10127 For those who are interested in Klee's personal notebooks…

I agree! But still, it corrects incorrect things that my spell checker doesn't see, like inconsistent spacing and 'goofy approximations' like (R) for ®. (Depends on your definition…

Of course, that would be the ideal way of combating this. If you're talking about financial stakes in certain findings however, these might be hard to prove (and stalking colleague…

I'm not saying there is not a general problem with internet addiction, however: The sample size is ridiculous. 27 participants is--as far as my understanding goes--not very represe…

How about the other way round? Who's to say that they're not countering Apple in their specs? I think that with this one-year cycle that phone manufacturers have--unfortunately--im…

Adobe Garamond [0] is really nice to look at, I think, especially for long passages of text. With Akzidenz-Grotesk [1] as a runner-up (and for headlines etc.). Font fun fact: This …

I will concede that I haven't actually learned much of it yet, I've just always thought it looks beautiful. What I have tried so far (the arm movements, and copying some of the let…

Love the Palmer Method. A bit frustrating, though, that the website (as a modern-day adaptation of a 1915 book) seems to be specifically tailored to right-handed people only. But t…
