It seems for them the solution is to destroy privacy for the entire population.

> Please, don't post simplistic vox populi stuff.

Please ask this to the European Commision instead.

> Because that's how you protect people privacy, right???

I'm not promoting such practices. In fact, I was just trying to use the legislators logic: if they are truthful about their "protecting children" slogan, let them start their policing where the predators are most likely to be found instead of targeting the entire population.

Their true motives are far from protecting kids. Otherwise, they would install security cameras inside all corners in all churches in the continent, and, more importantly, enforce bodycam on pastors 24/7.

The standard model doesn't predict the graviton neither, nonetheless, they mentioned it in the article.

Does the SM theorize about the impossibility of the monopoles' existence?

What about the existence of magnetic monopoles?

I must congratulate you on this achievement. That's certainly a useful take on search.

Nonetheless, even when coding, one should also consider thoroughly the UX and how it would be addressing the others.

Saying "unsupported word" is much more sympathetic than "needs to be a word" (where you define what a "word" is, and the general user is unaware of such definition).

Less insulting error messages would be more welcome than casting out others without any consideration.

You may distribute "shame" however you want, but this only helps enforcing the damaging insults and amplifying them.

Maybe a better suited choice for errors than an insulting message: when I provided a query in my native language it regurgitated the error "needs to be a word" instead of more acceptable "not a supported language".

When you claim that a word in some other culture is not "a word", just because it's not recognized by your machine, that's demeaning to say the least.

Too bad it rejects non-Latin words, as if the definition of "text" is a sequence of alphabetical letters originated from Latin.

I thought that we've reached the time to embrace all cultures in the world, but this retrogressive engine proves that most modern tech designers are myopic about other civilizations in the globe.
