I used Tesseract almost 10 years ago to scan letters from a Words With Friends board. I was getting over 90% accuracy, but the letters with score values on them corrupted the lette…

You are assuming a professional is reading whatever the content is you are distributing and will make a rational, fair decision. No. It's going to be a minimum wage indentured Goog…

You're definitely not thinking creatively enough. You don't need to hit the planet directly with anything, all you need to do is destabilize the orbit of all the planets or even ju…

So now, a minimum wage drone at Google, or even worse an AI, will be able to shut down my entire account because they perceived my document that I'm sharing as "misinformation"? Th…

I took a year off and for fun, I spent 40 hours a week for 9 months on a website that used OCR and other packages for some games. It generated around $15/month in ad revenue, just …

So it really is just a way for them to suck out the cash flow of Aramco and leave nothing but a husk for external investors?

No. It's impossible. There was no outbreak in Osaka. A disease as virulent as Covid with only a single person infected is not likely at all.

What is the separation between the Saudi government and MbS. Is it essentially the same and is it the case of MbS monetizing Aramco at the expense of the investors?

American Dad has 2 episodes dedicated to showing that Saudi Arabia is the worst place in the world. Your story just reinforces that idea.

The numbers were self-reported, so it's not going to be very accurate.

I'm sorry but Covid wasn't in Osaka in November 2019. You definitely had some other disease like the flu.

Wow, my kid was complaining that he couldn't access a page a couple of hours ago and I dismissed it as him making a mistake somehow. I guess this is must be a pretty huge outage fo…

Every couple of years? But I do think the frequency of straight up comedies being produced is dwindling, and aren't popular enough to go to a movie theatre for.

> they want guaranteed returns and they do not want to gamble about it This is how Hollywood is. It's the same as Silicon Valley. They don't want to gamble if they don't have to, t…

Better Call Saul at its best is as good, if not better, than 99% of Breaking Bad. Of course, the best episodes of BB are among the best in TV history.

When was the last great comedy movie you've seen in the movie theatres? I posed this question to my buddies and we were genuinely stumped. For me it was probably early 2000s, but n…

I love it. They don't even care now, do they? Private jets are the most obvious targets of carbon tax because they are completely unnecessary, and the politicians decided to carve …

I'm pretty desensitized to stuff, but this study is a horrifying. They basically mutiliated a rat by connecting it to another rat's circulatory system, implanted a uterus and then …

I worked on a visual programming tool from the late 90s to the early 2000s. The same problems apply then as they do now. There's an unwinnable war between keeping things simple and…

The funny thing is that someone could openly start wearing a bodycam for themselves and record everything for leaks, and no one would know that it wasn't authorized.

It's funny how quickly forget about Stephen Harper and how he tried desperately to turn Canada into its anti-thesis. The same laws that protect speech that you may not agree when y…

It sounds like you are lonely and consumed by work. The last 1.5 years has been extremely lonely time for a lot of people around the world. Take a little bit of relief in knowing a…
