I'd like to get carrier-verified numbers for SMS. The problem with Twilio and the like are that other services detect they are VOIP numbers and reject them. I've tried the "Burner"…

For the sibling commenters trying to grief OP, he never said he randomly selects verses. I wish you all a nice day.

I'm surprised someone's surprised, it's a well-known thing: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sunday_scaries

It could have been for a service that was not in production yet, and in an isolated environment.

Whenever I listen to these types of recordings, there's so much static and it's hard to hear the words. Is this how it actually sounds to pilots/ATC operators or is their feed actu…

I'm sorry, what? Do Russians not live on Earth or something?

I had a more charitable reading of GP's comment: supposing, hypothetically, the US wanted a proxy war against Russia, it didn't have to "trick" Russia. This is a perfectly valid re…

> If China downs one in South China sea, the US might keep it quiet because neither country wants a violent escalation into war just yet. >> just yet No, sorry. Neither country wan…

Sibling commenters saying US did not want to provoke a war with Russia are being biased imo. US drew a line in the sand, or kept pushing on the issue for Ukraine to NOT promise it …

That might be a necessary condition, but definitely not a sufficient one to be considered a superpower. Simple thought experiment, "completely erasing" the US as you suggest would …

> indentured servants Could you explain what you mean?

Ok, so you want to make a system that does not include some otherwise very popular criteria to the citizens of the host nation? Because... it benefits you?

> point based system Today if you're an illegal migrant and claim asylum, you get +inf points. If you're born in certain countries with long wait time, you get -inf points. Clearly…

> I suppose the counterargument is that the US educational system is generally so poor that it's not generating enough people with the necessary technical capabilities But what if …

You describe the current system, just that country of origin is a factor in the "scoring system."

> Both the US and China have made it much harder to leave China and enter the US now. Which policies do you think create this? It could be entirely probable the Chinese just don't …

That's a feature, not a bug. Otherwise you could find X country that is loose with citizenship requirements and get around the US' per-country limit.

The per-country limits are a good thing, the "bottleneck" is a feature not a bug

Not just geometry on the math side but numerical computation and linear algebra as well. Was enough to make my head spin.

> and before long you will have a search engine of real value for yourself (and possibly others) How much do you think hosting would cost?

Thank you for clarifying, I get what you mean now. That study is over a decade old though. And I would think that there's too many confounding variables at play there. IMO the bigg…

What does gender have to do with anything in this discussion? > in DC area it's something like 2:1 That's not true.

Everyone, literally every person I know laid off at Google and Meta were subsequently rehired by the same company. It's strange.

Charlie Booker, of Black Mirror fame, said (paraphrasing): it's not technology that sucks -- it's people.

Oh please. Look and see some example Mandarin and Cantonese words loaned to English. [1] They also have your Japanese examples in there. Want more counterexamples? Probably literal…
