How much effort/development have they put in to the spam detection on Gmail?

So then it's accurate to say that no one uses TypeScript in production??

Maybe they are trying to solve too many problems with one piece of software.

"Realtor" is a trademarked term which indicates that a person is a member of the National Association of Realtors. This is the org which the parent commenter is calling a monopoly.

The original words aren't recognizable at first glance, but they do serve as potential mnemonics for remembering the terms/definitions for any learners who speak one of those source languages (English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Russian, Hindi)

The email-based create-an-account link is 404ing for me, using an iPhone and Brave browser.

The link to follow 404s for me… perhaps because I put a plus sign in my email?

Short answer? Yes.

Long answer probably involves value systems and what individuals are actually doing on that day…

Did the Board of Directors approve all of that?

That sounds like they are expecting a predictable relationship between literacy rates and once-in-a-lifetime geniuses being born…

> You’ll find that your abstinence did not result in any worse cabinet appointments than were already being made, and that disaster relief efforts carried on without your involvement, just as they always do. As it turns out, your hobby of monitoring the “state of the world” did not actually affect the world.

Obvious counterpoint: Trump, who appointed awful judges and secretaries, and denied disaster relief aid, was sworn in to office a month after this was published

> In terms of evolutionary biology, all forms of life develop memory first. Only once sufficiently resilient, an organism can begin to learn to forget things.

Interesting, can you link to more info on this?

> No one starts cults any more. The lack of drug cults is proof!

> "tag every... file I create ... with some spur-of-the-moment searchword"

isn't that kind of what we are already doing with the names used in the directory hierarchy + the filename?

A) it is; "The grant, totaling nearly $4 million, is funded by NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse."

B) your first link is 404ing

Not in my experience.

Was responding to the idea that the Green party doesn't put up candidates for local elections... I think I've seen them on smaller races than Governor as well, but this was a recent example that came to mind easily.

Depends where you are: In the recent California governor recall, there were two Green Party candidates and one Libertarian.

I wish there were FLAC (or other lossless) recordings, seems that the site only links to YT videos.

the real world is messy, games are a way of identifying the messiness (and then provoking one user to be upset at how the developers chose to model the messy world)

A) he didn’t give up what he already had, and B) “fortune” is being pretty generous

Growth hacking.

The final words on the Tesseract page are lovely!

> I find it very inspiring that while we can’t physically experience a four dimensional space, with just a bit of ingenuity we can easily simulate how a tesseract and its shadow would look in our day-to-day world.

> You may find math’s indifference to the limitations of our human perception quite cruel, but I think it’s liberating. Reflecting on higher dimensions is transcendent – it removes the shackles of the physical world and allows us to explore the realms we’ll never encounter.

This characterization of flaws in political discourse reminds me of the SEO arms race discovering flaws / hacks in Google's search results rankings.
