Jesus, I can’t imagine just coming out and saying this like it’s not fucking deranged to charge people more for WATER during a heat wave.

and if there is a fire, we can raise prices of fire extinguishers, how cool is that?

14th_cylon , 18 days ago to Open Source in Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)

what i don't get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser...

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

Do businesses in Turkey not make sure people can do the job

i would imagine they do and checking that applicant has proper education is probably big part of that 😆

isn’t that a service already paid for

and that's why it is a fraud, someone (state) pays for your education and you are scamming him.

14th_cylon , 23 days ago to Technology in Turkish student creates custom AI device for cheating university exam, gets arrested

we are not going to ignore lunatic who thinks cheating is normal. he is perpetrating fraud worth thousands of dollars; first in tuition, then in future earnings.

would you like to be operated on by a surgeon who passed the school thanks to ai? would you like to live on a 20th floor of a building designed by such structural engineer?

14th_cylon , 23 days ago (edited 23 days ago) to Technology in Boeing sales tumble as the company gets no orders for the 737 Max for the second straight month

its a valid question.

no, it is not.

do you really think that article talking about number of ordered planes suddenly switched to number of spare parts? does that sound logical to you? if you don't recognize such obvious sarcasm, you really shouldn't try to deliver burns to others, you'll just burn yourself in the process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_737_MAX_orders_and_deliveries

long story short: the numbers mean whole aircraft. i hope it is simple enough for you.

Not sure if this is serious.

if you are really not sure whether this:

They could be mainly orders for extra bolts.

is serious, then i recommend to not attempt crossing a street without supervision 😜

14th_cylon , 24 days ago to Technology in This is the “world’s first” phone call made using spatial audio

yeah, because in the world of audio/video content, who would care about quality of sound, right?

and even if people would actually not care, it still doesn't mean that someone won't be able to sell it to them.

Their point

oh geez, thank you for explaining someone else's point, you must be quite an insider into their thoughts 😂

was that they never “found out”

that is not what was said

why would you need or want to be that precise about your language

you need to be precise with your language because that is what allows us to communicate ideas to each other and logic through arguments, eventually accepting or refuting them.

for example you can call these two strawberry, and nuclear submarine, but it is going to seriously hinder your communication with others, because that is now what is commonly understood under these terms.

you can see it in the comment we are discussing. because i read the implication original commenter tried to make as it never happened to me => it is not a problem that needs to be addressed.

which is incorrect implication in itself, but more importantly, as i pointed out, the premise of the implication is flawed.

14th_cylon , 25 days ago to Technology in This is the “world’s first” phone call made using spatial audio

i mean, people have innovated in the areas they care already

so you are saying that all the innovation and research should be stopped, because if we care about any specific problem, it is already solved, and if it isn't, it is proof we don't care? 😆

that... is not how it works.

14th_cylon , 27 days ago to Technology in This new dating app will use facial recognition technology to exclude trans women

Not once have I encountered a trans person on a dating app who wasn’t 100% transparent about it.

...that you know of. not defending bigots or bullying, but that statement doesn't make sense.
