I’m not sure it “works”. I would still drastically prefer if Tesla had CarPlay.

Do you have a mailing list?

Sure, those headlines are misleading.

But all of those other headlines are wrong and misleading as well, in their own way.

The "court"(s) cannot "block" Trump from doing anything. They don't control the military. All they can do is "say" something about the "legality" of the actions of the commander in chief of the military. The first two headlines that (according to the link) "beg to mislead" are closer to accuracy on this dimension -- the courts said something.

It is not just a login wall, they have restricted access even for logged in users, presumably to only the uploaders. A magnet would be nice.

One obvious benefit of this link and the bsky ones is that it is actually possible to read the comments on them, unlike the last one.

True! There might be other solutions, like having management treat people as they themselves would want to be treated. That kind of thing just sounds fairly unrealistic.

(presumably Geis’s comment was sarcasm?)

No, of course it’s not easy to quit. But perhaps it’s wrong to even offer these terrible jobs as an “opportunity” to people who have so little choice.

I hope courts worldwide continue to punish Amazon for these kinds of things. They need to change the calculus — to ensure that the total operational cost of hiring people to do these terrible jobs is much higher than using robots.

Yep. Switched to Apple Maps and (as backup) Organic Maps recently.

Purpose is a really helpful way of organizing thought about the world.

But “purposeful” does not mean “having to do with the concept of purpose”, so “teleological” ends up being a pretty useful word. Despite the smell of old books it carries.

A large helium balloon with an open lip perhaps?

This has been available for a while but it's great to see some acknowledgement especially since the most recent data set was stuck in 2019 for a while.

Here are the datasets: http://download.kiwix.org/zim/stack_exchange/

It's not clear to me why the data set shrank between 2019/3 and 2022/6; was something excluded? Compression improvements?
