They are getting downvoted because they are making a bad faith argument. They state banning a for profit website for not complying with the laws is somehow equal to censorship, this is obviously not true.

Really I’m gonna need a source for that old timey radio claim. Because that sounds like it’s made up and even if it’s not, correlation does not mean causation.

There is no known mechanism for non ionizing radiation to have ANY effect on the human body or individual cells besides from a warming effect. And even the warming effect is quite small, there are normally a lot of other factors that have a way bigger effect on the temperature. See the Mythbusters episode where they tried to warm a chicken on a radar emitter. The turning of the radar cooled it down more than any warming from the radar did.

If there is any truth to claims that non ionizing radiation harms humans, physicists would be all over that. That would mean new physics in an area where there hasn’t been any new stuff for a long time now.

But it turns out we understand it pretty well and see no mechanism for any harm to occur. In that context all of the studies that find no relation are meaningful. If there seems to be no relation and there isn’t a mechanism to do anything, why would anybody think there is anything to find? Turns out it always comes down to FUD, to further some kind of an agenda.

Soup is food!

I know a lot of folk that work at MS or have worked there, they are all very good people. They are highly motivated professionals that are top in their field. MS is a rich company and they recruit the best they can. However those are not the people making any kind of decisions. And it’s a cut throat company, if the budget gets cut, you are out on your ass. At least in most of the world, where strong employee protection isn’t a thing.

Don’t get me wrong, MS has a lot of bad apples just like any other company. Useless managers who say dumb shit and take praise for other peoples work. A leadership that doesn’t care about anything except their bonuses and the bottom line. But at least as far as the engineers go, there’s plenty of really good folk.

People also seem to forget how huge MS actually is. And a lot of the time the different branches within the company are as far away from each other as can be. Even within the same branch one can only talk to so many people.

Imagine being dead for decades and somebody contacts you to ask about politics. Like fuck off, I don’t care, I’m dead. Why would anybody who’s dead care about politics? Leave them alone.

Except she didn’t, she kept it private.

Somebody else now wrote in a book she said that, which may or may not be true (I believe it). But she made those statements in private.

Stunning claims? How is this stunning? Everyone knows Trump is rude as hell, he doesn’t even try to hide it.

I almost forgot he was still doing rallies when he was in office. Such a strange thing to do. Like you got the job, go do all the things you promised at previous rallies. Plus when you are running against an opponent, you can point out how you would do things better given a chance. Once you have gotten that chance, it makes no sense to keep advertising yourself.

And the funniest thing of it is, he didn’t get a second term. All those rallies while in office and it didn’t even pay off. SAD

I’m the exact opposite actually. I never liked the taste of regular coke, too sweet, so I’ve been drinking Diet Coke since I was a kid. Drink a couple of liters per week (although I’ve cut down since inflation has made it cost as much as liquid gold). I dislike the fake sweet flavor of Coke Zero, but I love the more refreshing taste of Diet Coke. It’s like sparkling water with caffeine.

I do realize the taste of Diet Coke varies quite a lot over the world, but in Western Europe it tastes perfect for me.

Sounds like a NileRed video.

But only after taking 6 weeks to “think it over”

Danke

Why is there not a clip of what he said in the article? The main video is of a completely different part. None of the links in the article seem to be the clip? I’m probably just dumb and not seeing it, or is it actually not there?

They aren’t all corrupt Trump cronies. Some of them are actually corrupt Bush cronies.

Well I live in Europe, so for me preparing for a Trump presidency is to start learning Russian?

At a consulting job I did recently they got an AI for a specific task to have an 25% rejection rate. Which I thought was pretty good and the team working on it said there was no way they could do better, this is the absolute best.

So they went and asked the customers if they would be interested in this feature and how much they would be willing to pay. The response was nobody was willing to pay at all for the feature and a 25% rejection rate was too high.

The reason customers gave was this meant they still need a human to check the results, so the human is still in the loop. And because the human basically has to do most of if not all of the work to check the result, it didn’t really save that much time. And knowing their people, they will probably slack on the checks, since most are correct. Which then leads to incorrect data going forward. This was simply not something customers wanted, they want to replace the humans and have it do better, not worse.

And paying for it is out of the question, because so many companies are offering AI for free or close to free. Plus they see it as a cost saving measure and paying for it means it has to save even more time for it to be worth.

So they put the project on ice for now, hoping the technology improves. The next customer poll they did, AI was the most requested feature. This caused some grumbles.

Did I say death camps? I meant happy camps!

Independent is a terrible outlet. I don’t know why it gets linked so much on social media. Maybe because they have the most click bait titles or something.

The world would probably look a lot different if we’d stop riling each other up all the time. Media outlets like that feed on the hate and only promote it.

I assume you mean critique on the picture itself and not the house? In that case, these are my pointers:

I would have cropped out the railing on the bottom. There’s also a lot of sky in the picture, which is a little over exposed. This leaves the house itself muted and flat. Maybe playing with the levels can fix this and bring out more details.

The angles and location are limited in a case like this. But I feel this isn’t the best angle. The shore side on the left is distracting, especially with the orange roof there. It would be better if it showed more of the water, to give the impression the house is actually on the water.

Otherwise, neat picture! Good find and excellent subject for photography.
