As a Fiver (not Fiverr), gotta love the folk bragging on having (or losing) 6-digit accounts. Way to make me feel old.
The company had 762 employees as of December last year.
Given their "self-service" business model, why did Fiverr need 762 employees to begin with?
"Vaccines, COVID, masking, conspiracies, Trump. All in a gigantic doom loop that's not worth re-visiting ad nauseam."
But is 't the motto here, "news for nerds; stuff that matters." Those all sound like they matter.
"So just stop already. And please, stop with the microplastics while you're at it."
Ok, Chicken Little. Sticking your head in the sand and going LALALALALALALALALAL (*raspberries/fart sound*) because reality refuses to conform to your personal beliefs? Your head is so far up your ass! Grow up.
"The botnet was used to launch more than 370,000 attacks in 80 countries, including China, Japan and the U.S., prosecutors said."
And no one was harmed or killed? Normally manslaughter to murder 1 (in the USA) is 10 years to life. A third of a million attacks targeting 37% of all nations on this panet gets at most TEN years? What the fuck is wrong with the US justice system?!?
They might as well start pardoning the criminals in DC (oh, right, they did that in January). What a banana republic
A) they are that stupid.
B) they are that kind of troll.
Either way, talk about logical fallacies roflmao.
"... but few people are going to care. Its not like there's much to see out an airplane window anyways outside of takeoff and landing."

How about you take a long, tall drink from a cup of shit-the-fuck-up? Maybe that'll be a relevant clue-by-4 to illustrate to you, that you -- have your head up your ass.
Other people do not think like you do.
Go learn something and stop being an arrogant, narcissist shit.
The entire reason we have a philosophy of science and peer-review and the null hypothesis, is this. Reality doesn't conform to your beliefs. If it did, people could wish shit into existence. Wish in one hand and shit in the other. Which fills up first?
Senses are fallible, too. Setup 3 buckets of water with cold, lukewarm, and hot water. Stick your hands in the cold and the hot water. Wait 5-10 minutes. Put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your hands will *NOT* report the same temperature. These people need to learn, not be lied to.
Additionally, the title is misleading. You don't lie to people when you want to express the truth. You tell them the truth. That they reject the truth indicates they lack critical thinking skills. Teach them.
I don't think lying to the gullible is a solution. Indeed, the article supports this: "Philosopher Byron Hyde and author of the study suggests that public trust could be improved not by sugarcoating reality, but by educating people to expect imperfection and understand how science actually works."
How is that proposing lying to the people who lack mental tools? The title is straight up misleading.
Teach them. Engage with them. Some might be incapable, but that does NOT support that they should be lied to. This is terrible reporting.
Perhaps the best counterexample of your premise is the Unabomber. Yes, not on the Web--but I think that was half because of the timing and half because he understood the lack of real technology-based anonymity. But he tried quite hard to stay hidden. And died in prison..
Theodore Kaczynski was caught because of poor Operational Security (OPSEC). He let his ego get the better of him, delivering a 35,000 word manifesto and insisting that it be made public.
He was caught only because he thought he was smarter than everybody else, leaving clues with each bomb and in his manifesto. Ultimately the Washington Post's publication of his writings caught the eye of researchers, and more importantly, his younger brother David, who turned him in for the $1M reward.
I've used AI for two tasks where I found it very useful, and some very minor ones as well.
1) I had to write some code to invert a matrix in C. I knew the code was out there, but Google's search is so polluted today I could not find it. ChatGPT immediately returned working code. I noticed it did not calculate the determinant, so I asked it for that, and it modified the code to do so. As I say, I know that code is out there somewhere in a book, probably a dozen books, but I can no longer find older topics because the search engines are so polluted today. So yeah, this was extremely useful.
Just a note, from someone who has done a lot of computational numerical analysis...if you are inverting a matrix, you are usually doing something inefficient and numerically unstable. In small dimension counts, that could be fine, but keep it in mind.
Newer cars have systems that mitigate driver inattention, so the accident rates could be even lower if they were to work on reducing driver inattention (or at least not encouraging it)
I made a phone call over CarPlay while driving and found I couldn’t interact with the large phone buttons on the screen. A few days later, I used Maps for navigation and wanted to change the view to see the overall route, which involved tapping a small button on the map screen, which CarPlay allowed me to do.
CarPlay screens should not be touch screens, they should be controlled by a knob which navigates the screen like VoiceOver, highlighting each element, optionally announcing the name of the element, push the knob to tap.
Hi. I think you are confused.
Air India crashes/fatalities:
* Air India Flight 101 CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
* Air India Flight 855 PILOT ERROR -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What does the word perfect mean to you? Those are crashes. People died.
We can even add:
* Air India Flight 182 BOMBING -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Though that's also on the staff at the airport doing security screenings.
Their catalog is a work of art. Even if you don't buy anything (But you should! It's cheap! And good!) it's really fun to read.
Definitely! Similar vibes to (but pre-dating) Trader Joe's "Fearless Flyer", right down to the cheap paper and retro graphics.
Visiting their original storefront in Chicago was one of my favorite excursions when I was young and in need of science fair inspiration or just "stuff" for one of my personal projects.
Pretty much all the B&M and online surplus electronics stores I used to buy from have faded away or moved to a purely eBay existence.
I grew up down the street from her house. Went to the first Chuck E Cheese's across the street often.
Civilization didn't collapse due to her house. It wasn't even the first revision of her house (IIRC got leveled in the great SF earthquake) There's a lot of people that look at the Victorian adornments of her house as a sign we had civilization. Compared to the Soviet Bloc style housing we have going in today that has surrounded it, the Winchester house now looks out of place.
All kind of sad really. Town and Country was a beautiful shopping center. The trailer park next door provided low income housing, and the Styufy dome theatres looked straight out of a moonbase. Nothing is allowed to have exposed wood beams or rounded edges anymore.
Two is not equal to three, even for large values of two.
