Easy: Zero. What you describe as "desperate people" are people who would already die without "yolo[ing] on themselves", so, by definition, the worst outcome is that they still die.…

> Oh, by the way, any indication that nobody roleplayed the Israeli side? The description implies that nobody did: > Seaside Prison is a Palestinian-Finnish-Norwegian larp that dea…

For the same reason Wikipedia suffers: People who are really good at writing factual content / good answers are not automatically good at moderation, often they are even some of th…

Solr. The correct answer is Solr. All the search features of Elasticsearch (both are built on Lucene, which provides the actual search implementation) without the problems that Ela…

Well, Microsoft says that's because of the EU commission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41029590 I have my doubts, but that's at least what they give as the reason for the k…

Literal example of survivorship bias in the GP comment.

While I agree with your comment I'd like to point out that the reason the youth is leaving is not this policy, but that there are no jobs for them. At least none that you really wa…

Rather typical in Germany (they usually do it via Schufa, but the end result is the same). No idea for other countries.

I'm pretty sure judges can reasonably find the difference between willfulness and accident (as the article states, multiple people who had no reason to help the builder missed the …

Sounds like a reasonable judgement - even if the parties didn't come to a compromise themselves - would have been to just swap lots. Lots 115 should be empty, cause the building th…

Thanks for spelling this out. I always thought the same, even as a child when I first saw the film: Ariel has a deep feeling of not belonging where she is combined with a yearning …

Even some results from "The Onion" seem to be in it. Looks like Google just took every website they've ever crawled as source.

Yeah. Just the last iteration in a long list of hype terms. Big data. Cloud ready. AI. Whatever ...

... I had the 'pleasure' of driving American cars and if there's one thing they don't have it's good suspension. Though maybe they finally stopped using leaf springs for newer mode…

I don't see why they should license her voice if she didn't provide the voice work. Actresses sometimes sound similar. If there's a demand that voices that sound "too similar" to w…

Without knowing what's behind the link that says nothing. It could be comparing their achievements, the architectures or many things. You just (seem to?) interpret it in a certain …

Someone who thinks that giving health advice to an obese person and fat shaming are the same thing has no business being in a job that requires them to give people advice. Obese pe…

> far-left responses Can you give some examples? I wanted to test it, but first they wanted my email (okay), then they wanted my phone number and .. nope. So, I couldn't test Claud…

From my outsider perspective it's by being by far the most important country on the continent in terms of size, influence, economy and so on. Also, it's (afaik? cannot think of a c…

We don't know if there's even any danger. All statements so far of any danger are somewhere between science-fiction stories and anthropomorphizing AI as some kind of god. The equiv…

Back to the good old plowshare, yes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare

Because we know how to build bridges so that they don't collapse. The laws of physics that govern bridge-building are well known. The equivalent for AI systems? Not really.

How is the security situation in Mexico these days? I only hear vague "the cartels are taking over" news from time to time, but it's not really something I've looked into in depth.…

Yeah, me too. It would be really sad if Meta stopped hardware development and left it to other companies.

Do Instagram and Snapchat pay you to view more content? This is specifically about TikTok Lite, which does this, not about "normal" TikTok.
