And just like DEI teams, ethics teams will be easy to cut back on if a company runs into economic trouble.

A sad reminder that the MAGA wing of the Republican party continues to be against most anything that can actually help turn around climate change.

Not quite your traditional gaming, but with 600 responses to user actions at least as complex as some interactive computer games I've played.

Their web site is down, but their Github account is currently still available, with 3D printing files and software for their microlab.

So many, many choices.

I think my all-time dumbest came when I was about 22, so it doesn't fit here. In my teens...probably driving drunk at speeds up to 100mph on the mountain roads up above Pasadena with the headlights off at night.

Yep, I get it. Effectively block ads and javascript and it doesn't much matter what a site wants to do. I skip the few that have actually effective paywalls (as opposed to just putting a div over content on the page - as far as I'm concerned, if it's downloaded to my computer, I am allowed to read it). Of course, the sites that load up on ads tend to be pretty low-quality content anyhow.

This is why I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google, and Firefox with a few selected extensions that ensure I almost never see an ad. I would be shocked if Google enabled any long-term ad-free experience.

In addition to making it easier to find authentic perspectives, we're also improving how we rank results in Search overall, with a greater focus on content with unique expertise and experience. Last year, we launched the helpful content system to show more content made for people, and less content made to attract clicks. In the coming months, we’ll roll out an update to this system that more deeply understands content created from a personal or expert point of view, allowing us to rank more of this useful information on Search.

That seems like just a step in the inevitable AI arms race.

I tend to wing it a lot with stew-ish things. Here's one set of rough instructions:

  • Saute any combo of mushrooms/onions/garlic/cherry tomatoes/peppers in olive oil
  • Add 3 cups water/vegetable broth, bring to boil
  • Stir in 1 cup green lentils/red lentils/yellow split peas/green split peas, stir as it comes back to a boil
  • Season with salt/pepper/smoke seasoning/chili/whatever looks good
  • Simmer 15-30 minutes till done

Freezes fine, though I usually eat it before it makes it to the freezer

It's not just about the information though, is it? Web forums can offer a sense of community that his preferred alternative (long-form Medium articles with comments) just can't match, in my experience.

Well at least:

“The situation is not really getting worse, but it’s also not really getting better,” Steinhauer said. “It is not a bee apocalypse.”

Generally depressing societal news.

Terrifying. I worry enough about chipping my teeth on things like pits as it is.

I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

In my opinion it's unreasonable to think anything can truly be deleted in a federated system. Even if the official codebase is updated to do complete deletion & overwrite, it's impossible to prevent some bad actor from federating in a fork that just ignores deletion requests.

Seems sensible to just not post anything that you don't want to be available for the lifetime of the internet.

I would add The Abolition of Work though that might be a controversial choice. Did a lot to get me thinking back in the day, though.

Bear in mind that Antenna (the source of this info) has no access to internal Netflix metrics, only to opt-in consumer information. We won't really know what's going on with Netflix's numbers until their next quarterly report.
