I don't know about this one in particular, but generally data centers seem to be moving to nuclear energy for power generation.

> Amazon.com Services, LLC filed suit against Perplexity AI, Inc., an artificial intelligence company, asserting that Perplexity’s web browser tool, Comet, unlawfully accessed Amazon’s website in violation of [blah]. Perplexity’s Comet browser includes an AI “Assistant” that, when activated by a user, navigates Amazon.com on the user’s behalf, sending browser screenshots to Perplexity’s servers for further instruction. Amazon claimed that this use of the Assistant, despite their explicit prohibition, amounted to unauthorized access to its servers.

Hot take: As bad as this is, I wonder if it would be kinder to leave her with the family for the rest of her life.

This lady is in her 60s, does she even know any other way to even live? Life with that family may be better than whatever Brazil's equivalent of welfare shelters are.

Seems like that may have been why the case workers left her with that family for now.

Seeing how it hasn't survived the HN hug of death... Not sure how you've built it but consider putting it behind a CDN or something and caching the responses, esp since you're trying to pull live data

It's weird, I never had that problem yet suddenly my old clothes started shrinking a couple years ago too.

Might have been our new hangers.

Clearly you've never worked at a large company before :)

Hold on to your optimism, but try not to let that turn into scorn for folks who've seen the other side.

Not sure what happened here, but it's not uncommon for a post to have one primary author and then multiple reviewers/supporters also credited

To be fair, their concern tends to be a more consistent "Don't push these corrupting agents towards me or my society"

If the school curriculum aligned with their belief system, they won't be talking about a need for control

One minute after you made that statement, the Israeli propaganda brigade seems to have discovered this post and seems fully dedicated to proving your claims

The density of prime numbers remains remarkably consistent as you increase the grid size. Even the end of a 10,000 x 10,000 grid had just as many primes per inch as the earlier numbers

Yes, that's why the people behind the United whistle blower "suicide" or the Epstein "suicide" we promptly brought to justice /s

Our law enforcement is "better" when it comes to enforcing the law against the lower 99%. When it comes to enforcing it against the kind of people who're actually likely to kill to protect their secrets...good luck
