Exactly.

Are we meant to associate it with "hot air" marketing or what else?

Somehow, someone still lost $500k against that bet. Not that kind of 'obvious' then.

It's an error in the site's CSS. CSS has way better methods, like splitting words correctly depending on the language and hyphenating it.

Although I can never remember the correct incantation, should be easy for LLMs.

All this because some guys installed the letters wrong?

Is this some kind of joke, or is the author really lost in some conspiracy-level detail tracking, hunting for "hidden signals"?

I'd be happy if I was able to use Claude Code at all

VSCode extension, "Please log in"

I authorize it, it creates an API key, callback. "Hello Claude, this is a test." "Please log in."

So yeah... priorities?

Those turnstiles were inefficient (slowed legitimate users down), but not security theater (they really blocked unauthorized access.)

They A/B test titles. You can see it in the URL, where the recessive title often lives on. They may also use different titles for print/digital.

Google/Apple already know where you and your mistress live. In case you pay for any service, they've got your identity too. Ever had a single shipment confirmation to your address come to your mail? They know who you are.

The hardware providers already have the information. You only need to make them reveal it to 3rd parties.

All adults proof their identify multiple times per month: Every time they access digital health records, or when they use any electronic payment.

Just make Google/Apple reveal part of that data (age > x years) to websites and apps.

Boom, done. Privacy guarded. Easy.

The problem is obvious: People spend much more attention on cat videos from strangers than on their own friends' posts. Ads turn this attention into money.

It's about attention. You can check the schedule without thinking about messages, likes, or the news.

My solution is based on 12.48 inch Magic Ink Calendar:

A 12.48 Waveshare eink display costs $175. Sadly haven't gotten it to work with the Raspi Zero and therefore can't use it battery-powered. Got an ugly cord right now. Running power to the right place through the walls is definitely dedication!

From the viewpoint of a security clearance, the employee is the enemy.

That's the point though. The testers wouldn't actually abuse their victims without the conviction of doing something righteous. Or they would, accidentally or intentionally, spill the secrets.

But if you make even the instruction material lie, then there is nothing that could be leaked and "expose" the system.

I always thought the workings of polygraphs were common knowledge.

It's fiction. Analysts get scared and don't do anything wrong preemptively. Analysts admit stuff they'd never do otherwise. The agency gets to show who's in charge. It creates a legal fiction that allows you to abuse your employees. It creates a fiction that the abusers themselves can believe in.

Why should the believe in the non-working polygraph be any weaker than in a nonexistent god?

You could start by not buying an always-on AI device. Just saying.

(The article is an AI ad.)

I'd bill those wasted hours on your clients. Tell them ads are cheaper elsewhere.

But really. Facebook doesn't care. They've got their eyes on your clients and want to cut you out using AI tools that are easy to use.

If I write a software today that publishes a hit piece on you in 2 weeks time, will you accept that I bear no responsibility?

There's no accountability gap unless you create one.

Same way everyone else does it. You can't abstract away the underlying problem.

Okay, you can't imagine anyone following through on this threat. Well, that's a failure of your imagination.

fighter jets ARE a threat of violence, and it is widely understood and acknowledged.

Again: the threat is so clear that you rarely have to execute on it.

Just guessing, but it probably wasn't planned as open source.

The real version control history might be full of useless internal Jira ticket references, confidential information about products, in Mandarin, not even in git... there's a thousand reasons to surface only a minimal fake git version history, hand-crafted from major releases.

Why would I learn the abstraction of JJ on top of git when I've got a butler who's happy to deal with git directly?

You're right in principle, but it just seems JJ is a solution in search of a problem.

Can you name a more peaceful end of an 20th century empire?

> I don't understand why everyone is not taxed as an individual, regardless of marital status.

Because married couples form a household and it allows them to share child care and work as they see fit.

If you tax individuals, you're encouraging both to earn the same amount of money.

If you tax couples, it encourages the higher earner to keep working, thus you have a higher overall productivity.

Thus you have freedom and higher overall productivity in favor of shared tax burden.

It would have been stupid not to try peace.

Germany hasn't invaded France (or vice versa) for two generations now. The Soviet Union dissolved itself peacefully by act of parliament. (Compare to Germany/Japan/Napoleon)

> the retail chain, which has a well-established policy that managers hand-deliver a card and small gift to each employee on their birthday.

> The faux pas was never intentional; the managers who were late said they had other priorities.

If it's such a well known company policy and you forget that, it is not a small slight at all.

> Did you noticed the new badge stamped atop my website?

No, because the banner is cut off on my phone.

I don't really understand the policy either. I assumed this was a contractor's website. I've never met one who accepted tool recommendations and never a company who cared. Use Solaris and emacs for all I care.
