This information exists in what physicists call a Platonic realm

Facebook headline: "Scientists mathematically prove existence of Friend Zone!"

It's mentioned in the BMJ article, but not the Guardian article that this is "a large panel study of over 73,000 adults (aged 18+ years) in the UK" and "This analysis focused on participants living in England". This could very well be a cultural phenomenon and/or have significant geographical factors rather than being something universal to humans.

You mean shocked resembling but legally distinct from Pikachu face.

So, this is the new foot binding. You'd think humans would learn as time goes by, but things like anti-vax and this leg extension thing really seem to argue otherwise...

Guuuuys, stop spying on our users--that's our job!

Was this headline translated from Chinese to English and back a few times? I don't expect masterpieces from Slashdot headlines, but proper syntax would be nice.

This is absolutely right. The point of phishing tests is not to catch people so you can say 'gotcha!' and scold them. This results in surly, annoyed staff who feel bad. Give training, let people know when they make mistakes but be encouraging, praise them for spotting suspicious emails (even give them small gift cards for scoring well on tests), and you'll better secure your systems, and ideally, have staff who are happier and more confident.

Is it too much to expect either the summary or the actual article to define fintech? Yes, you can pretty much pick it up from the context, but is one line with a clear definition really so much of a burden?

It's more like the proper interpretation of a terribly written law. The law literally specified using a device that stores or produces telephone numbers using a random or sequential number generator. While the Supreme Court should clarify confusing language in laws, completely disregarding the text and saying it means something different is not their job.

The result is far from William Shakespeare. After a few sentences, the program starts to write things that sometimes don't follow a logical storyline, or statements that contradict other passages of the text. For example, the AI sometimes forgot the main character was a robot, not a human. "Sometimes it would change a male to female in the middle of a dialogue,"

Amazing! We now have AI that can create a work indistinguishable from the average piece of fan fiction!

If companies packing up and leaving isn't the desired result, it makes more sense to negotiate details that will satisfy the government without driving the companies out.

But do they have the original 1967 Casino Royale with Peter Sellers, David Niven, Orson Welles, and other big names?

Lots of companies don't need to cheat but do anyway.

"Any transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with ByteDance Ltd," the order reads, "shall be prohibited to the extent permitted under applicable law."

So... not prohibited at all?

You're complaining about the New York Times focusing on New York? Okay...

The article talks about crowded cities with a lot of congestion and a possible approach to dealing with those problems. It may not apply to cities that have different circumstances and issues and shouldn't be taken as a solution that should be imposed on everyone. Should I complain about an article focusing on dealing with coastal flooding if I live in Colorado?

One thing that should be taken from the article, though, is that cities do need planning to avoid becoming a hot mess as they grow, and the choices made have consequences, and not always obvious ones. Maybe New York's problems aren't the same ones your city has, but an article like this is a good prompt to think about your own city, how it's handling its issues, and how it could possibly do better.
