So, no, we won't have AI tuning the advertisements so that they can't be catch by software like this one because that means it also wouldn't be catch by humans and that a very big no.

I can see this as a paradigm change in the internet it's true, and it's hard to see the full reprecursions of this all.

Then again, I think that if we get back to sane advertisements in web pages, that are just a couple of lines of text clearly marked as such (like Google ads used to be), then people would be ok not using an ad blocker in those cases. The thing is, the marketing companies just pushed it too far...

Now, this is very refreshing and nice to see, she seems a great person.

Even if the law is on their side, they still overbooked the plane by themselves, they still let everyone check in, they still let everyone in onboard and they still forcibly removed some random paying passenger just because someone on their staff wanted/needed (anyone can clarify this part?) to board.

Here is an idea for United (your HR department can contact me, I'm available to hire for 50% of your CEO and I easily come up with much better ideas):

1 - you just have to simply get the attention of the passengers on the plane (if you can be a bit smart and do it OUTSIDE the plane it's even better).

2- keep increasing the compensation you give one (or the needed) of them in order for them to catch a later flight.

Sooner or later someone would just accept the compensation. Also, that compensation wouldn't be anything special anyway since you have a plane full of people competing for it. The passenger would be happy, United would get what it wanted and you wouldn't have this media shitstorm in your hands.

Yes... it's really that simple United (again, tell your HR department I'm available for hire).

Can anyone recommend some alternative project (even for other e-readers)?

EDIT: Noticed how I'm wasting karma point to be proven right by the ones that this article is all about: people that 'love to hate'.

Well, according to your own words you are not sticking to rationalism and science, you are actually letting your pre conceived notions about what's right and what's wrong dictate how you act without any scientific support.

Yes, you see that there is the problem (also in Portugal, and perhaps in other countries in EU). You have a local taxi mafia running a black market operation right there.

Those licences cost less than 150 euros! (not thousand euros, just plain one hundred and fifty euros) when you get them from the city hall, then some taxi mafia gets to buy all those licenses when they are issued (in their, sons/spouse/cousins/uncles/etc name) and then they go around selling them to the people that actually work in the taxis by those absurd prices.

I think Uber must follow the rules, but don't ask me any sympathy for the Taxi drivers and for the mafia behind them.

If you are too afraid to actually analyze a situation and give your opinion, then just don't write about it and spare us all the time it takes us to read it.

The only thing that actually kind of works for me is to bookmark stuff in "sessions" and then open the all tabs the next time I want to work on something. For instance I was trying something very specific involving deep learning at my job, then I had to do some actual work to prepare an article and I put that DL project aside. So, I make a bookmark folder with all the open tabs and closed the window. Now I got back to that DL experiment opened the all tabs again and that kind of worked for me. But this is not really a reference system, it's just a "sessions" system.

As for the traditional role of bookmarks, I don't think they will ever work for me without a single main thing: Full text search.

Every few months I try to clean the mess my bookmarks have become since I can't find what I need and a few months after everything is a mess again.

The tag or folder system simply just doesn't work for me, I keep too much stuff to check later as ideias and then I can't really find it because I have this folder "check later" where I have dozens of separate ideias and I can't really just find that one idea I had.

The solution seems to be some kind of full text search, where I can have a way to describe in a fuzzy way what I was doing, something like: "python, maps, names, germany" and go back to that post I remember where they where doing some analysis of the "last names of people in germany in different regions" and that I, of course, don't remember the name anymore.

I recon it's a very specific problem that only makes sense for people that think the same way like I do, but I'm also quite sure there are a lot of us like that and that this is the kind of solution that at least would help us a bit using the bookmark system.

Give way to the thought police... but only in their online echo chambers, cause in the real world the majority really doesn't care about their imaginary safe spaces.

No, like a scientific paper. Have you ever tried to read one and understand this alien concept on how you can actually present facts without giving leeway to your personal politic views and fantasies?

The core part of journalism is to present facts and let the interpretation up to the reader.

Either that was really the real motive of the officials that made the subpoena or not (my guess is actually not btw), is certainly not up to the lousy journalist that wrote that title to decide.

That was seriously what the subpoena was made about, a "critic"? No wonder moderates feel totally detached from this kind of alt-left (or in other cases alt-right) echo chambers.

Journalism these days...

Truth is, they aren't of course, and that if you weren't using (like they are doing in the site) relatively modern translations of the originals that bring the two texts a big together, it would be immediate to see which was which.

All in all and putting it simply, they were written in very different periods which means that they were written by very different people of very different cultures.

I mean that in the way as giving just an image (as in no other data like temperatures, CO2 levels, etc), makes it easier for science deniers to nitpick out of it.

But trying to give single images as proof is actually a disservice to the all thing. It just helps science deniers to actually nitpick their way out of this.

EDIT: Grammar in single images.

Of course that since my foremost interest is computation, then NVIDIA it is. But if you just want to game, AMD gives a better bang for the buck.

In the "animal kingdom" both things are part of physical abilities, in here one of physical the other is intellectual.

In any case, one would think than in the XXI century we would be more advanced than expecting a nation to prune the disabled/destitute part of their population by letting them die of hunger/disease while they launch rockets into space.

I can understand a poor - but not totally destitute - country to invest in advanced technology, but no, I can't understand why in a country where thousands every year die or are severely affected by hunger, is investing in space technology instead of helping the immediate needs of its citizens.

It would be like a family in a household were you are about to die of hunger or of some disease by lack of treatment, made their priority to pay your university tuition fees instead.

I now want to move completely to Linux but DevonThink is MacOS only and I was searching for something like DevonThink on Linux.

Nothing came up so the next best thing seems to be pinboard.io... but the truth is, unless I pay the premium service for archival (and then continue paying that without stoping every year to keep them archived and rely in a private service that can just be terminated at any moment by its developer) I really don't see any diference between using pinboard.io or using Firefox bookmarks.

Am I missing something here?

This would happen to any junior dev. As the article doesn't actually tell if Tracy was a junior or senior dev, this doesn't demonstrate any kind of gender bias by itself.

I think you lack at least some grasp of basic statistics.

As for the 99%, just read TFA.

And in any case, basic biology and the presented numbers still stand as the reality.
