So we created a map with actual walking routes and people were finding them. Now they're not finding them and they're back to lots of searching.
We get some traction on social media too. But it's people who already go there and know a lot of what we provide already. People don't search Instagram for walking routes to POIs.
As long as we don't use the trademarked name 'Nürburgring' or their logo or an outline of the track in branding, it's all fair game. If we were to start selling t-shirts it would be a bit more tricky and we'd have to be pretty careful.
Edit: I do see how it may have seemed like we had a lot of referral links due to the setup of outgoing links. Changed that now, so there is pretty much just the one left.
At a certain point we ended up being invited by one of the largest rental companies to see whether we could work together. They invited us because the content was incredibly useful for their visitors and they preferred our calendar over the official one for ease of use.
So clearly, our site was adding value for the target audience we had in mind. We were also consistently getting visitors through different search engines that were looking for the info we provided. The number of visitors was growing consistently and pretty much all the feedback we got was positive.
In March, Google rolled out a new algo which all but completely removed us from search results. Out visitors dropped about 80% and growth has disappeared. What was a fun project that we spent many hours on is now a waste of computing resources.
I hate that Google gatekeeps the internet.
However, if a company does find an unrelated e-mail they want to use against you (which is what most people fear), that makes them liable.
Correct, but it does have a single ECHR. Even though some countries still ignore them.
Not really, ECHR has already ruled on this.
It's pretty much only allowed if there's an important reason for it. For example, to recover something invaluable (contract, code, report) that isn't available somewhere else and cannot be replaced. In that case that's also the only thing that them employer can look for. They can't open obviously unrelated e-mails. So before talking to legal, make sure you have a valid reason.
I agree with both and really don't have a clue what's the wise thing to do. I think it's probably the oversight thing, but since other countries will definitely compete without this oversight, someone will eventually release SkyNet. But do we want to be the first?
I don't know...
"Ah, the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies! It always takes me back to my grandmother's cozy kitchen, where the warmth wasn't just from the oven, but also from the love and laughter we shared."
It's always impressive (almost scary) how well ChatGPT manages to work with these types of prompts.
Nearly every bank I know of recommends using apps over their website, since in general they're safer than using their websites. But I'm in The Netherlands and I don't know whether banking apps in different countries have the same security standards.
Meanwhile, we're way behind on updating much of our infrastructure and hardly ever check whether any of the open source libraries we use are up-to-date, nor whether they're reliable. I really hope this legislation pushes companies like mine to improve their software development practices, because I'm scared of the future.
This sounds feasible, I didn't think of that one!
> Italian MPs have voted to back a law banning the production, sale or import of cultivated meat or animal feed
My Italian isn't good enough to actually judge whether this is a case of mistranslation or misinterpretation, so if you have any more nuanced quotes please provide some.
As an agnostic person who believes church and state should be very separate, you make the perfect argument for why I think this law is stupid. If you don't want to drink alcohol, smoke, eat pork or lab grown meat, go ahead. But don't force others into your religious ways of doing through restrictive laws. Just don't buy that stuff at the grocery store.

While the western world is getting angry about change, China is out eating our lunch by moving into all these emerging technologies. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a conscious effort to push conservative extremism in western countries for this exact reason.
If I just look around in my country, new electric cars are quickly becoming mostly Chinese and most solar panels are Chinese. Meanwhile, a very large group just voted for a party that wants to stop pretty much every investment in renewables, while also pushing out migrants in an already very tight and quickly aging labor market.
In the long term, our own bigotry and climate denialism is going to severely bite us in the ass. Especially since we're already barely above sea level.
So thank you very much for your work!
PS, will you be adding Turbo directly to the app in the near future?
"the sole issue of whether a work generated entirely by an artificial system absent human involvement"
This leaves a lot of wiggle room for AI created art with some form of human involvement. I.E. import the generated image into Photoshop and edit it. Perform some inpainting to improve certain parts. Possibly even prompting and configuring things in Automatic1111 might be regarded as human involvement.
This is going to bring many legal procedures before there's a clear answer to whether AI generated art can be copyrighted.
When I use a decent paid service, pretty much every prompt gives me a good response out of the box. Which is good, because otherwise I'd have no use for paid services, since I can run it all locally. This causes me to go to a paid service whenever I want something quick, but don't need full control. When I do want full control, I stick to my local solution, but that takes a lot more time.
