If I wanted to read a summary of a lengthy and complex wikipedia article, I would just read the first few paragraphs. The summary is right there.

In fact, any use of AI for text summary is a bit suspect. Why wasn't the summary included by the authors in the first place? Any decent news article or scientific paper has one.

Getting stuck is part of the life. In my day job I get stuck every other day. Finding ways to get unstuck is part of the learning process, be it rereading the textbook, looking into other books or internet, coming up with novel ways how to approach the problem, ask classmates for advice, or just sleep on it.

And if all that fails, go find the teacher before the deadline and ask. Back in my day homework was never expected to be done the next day.

In any other profession this kind of farewell gift would have been seen as outright evil, but somehow in IT there are plenty of people sharing fantasies about how they would bring down their employers as if they own the place.

Imagine civil engineers planting bombs in bridges that would detonate upon termination of employment. Nobody sane would sympathise with that.

Opposite here. I have had problems with Nvidia drivers since 2008. Maybe it's different on Windows, but on Linux there is always something wrong with it.

Fun fact: according to androidrank, currently there are 157 apps that have 500 000 000 or more downloads. Which is a lot, given that apparently it's not available in "rich" countries.

It's clear that the issue was not that the product isn't used, but that it is eating away the profits from their main YT app.

Google Play page says it had "500 000 000+" downloads. Those two users must have been very busy.

I'm surprised you didn't suggest using cocaine.

More to the point, serviscope_minor didn't argue that you'd fall asleep driving faster, rather that you'd be a menace to society if you did. Just because you don't fall asleep at the wheel doesn't mean that your cognitive abilities are up to par. Driving faster means there's less time to react to unexpected events.

Just get some sleep or take a public transport option. Noone will care if you fall asleep on a train.

Obligatory XKCD

"poopy-head" is silly and will make a fun thing to remember in 10 years.

Even grown up people who get paid to see people getting killed get PTDS (look up how facebook moderators feel about their work). Those sorry sods are doing it not because Zuk is a sadistic bastard that wants pay people to suffer. They do it because other FB users don't want to be traumatized as well. Apparently you look think that what grown ups can't handle is totally ok for children.

About swearwords, it's not like hearing them in isolation will traumatize children. It's because parents don't want to hear their child say "Happy 50th birthday you fucking cunt!" to their grandparents in front of all the relatives. The aftermath of that will traumatize them.

The fuel consumption at 250km/h speed is prohibitive. It would be roughly three times as much as driving at 100km/h. Btw, a train ticket from Paris to Berlin costs 50€ and takes 8 hours. A car trip is 11 hours and would cost twice as much in fuel costs alone, provided the driver keels their speed at 100km/h.

I don't get why people get so defensive when it comes to alternatives to driving. Yes, there are cases when it makes more sense to drive a car, but this case is not a midnight trip with detours in a wheelchair with the family and luggage. Yes, there are places even in Europe where the train is not a good option (I should know, I live in one such place), but even then when faced with an option to drive 1000km, I would rather pick a bus and rent a car at the destination if need be than drive all the way.

I didn't mean to imply that you are irrational or ignorant, just pointing out that the public transport options in the US are so limited. For a 1000km trip there should be a backbone high speed (250 km/h or 150 mph) rail option that is well connected with regional transport. This kind of infrastructure is in place at least in Western Europe.

For Europeans, this is an equivalent of driving from Paris to Berlin. At witch point you might ask how is this not a train journey?

Fines of as much as 20% of a company's global annual sales

Emphasis mine. Usually the fines are much much lower for the initial violation and they ramp up if the violations continue. This mechanism is there to avoid fines as a cost of doing business.
