It’s not really restraining them at the moment.

Indeed; it definitely would show some promise. At that point, you’d run into the problem of needing to continually update its weighting and models to account for evolving language, but that’s probably not a completely unsolvable problem.

So maybe “never” is an exaggeration. As currently expressed, though, I think I can probably stand by my assertion.

Proven? I don’t think so. I don’t think there’s a way to devise a formal proof around it. But there’s a lot of evidence that, even if it’s technically solvable, we’re nowhere close.

We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.

This adage is also reversible.

who has been caught cheating on 66% of his wives

FTFY.

Harris gets to have her cake and eat it too, though; she can say she disagrees to give herself a little bit of distance from Joe in the eyes of the moderate right, and at the same time she gets the press bump on the moderate left from her boss saying it. Honestly, it’s probably going to go well for her.

The problem is that they never hear about the stuff MAGA folks do. Fox doesn’t report about it, but they blast Biden’s gaffes from the rooftops, meaning more mainstream news orgs have to cover Biden’s gaffes or risk looking like they’re playing favorites. So the MAGAs never hear about the evil stuff Trump says unless they go looking for it–which they only do if they want to hear it from him anyway.

Whatever the maga hive mind decides over the next couple days.

A lot of someones did remind him of that after Hurricane Maria, when he loudly bragged about getting on the phone with “the president of Puerto Rico” and was subsequently reminded that that was him.

Honestly, that’s probably 90% of the reason he even went to Puerto Rico (and threw paper towel rolls at them).

It’s even worse: it’s “I never thought the leopards who said they would eat all faces and actually ate several on live TV would ever actually eat any faces,” says person voting for leopards eating faces party because they promised to eat faces.

You can definitely swipe up on a notification to make it go away without dismissing it.

Honestly, just make this habit: whenever you see a non-actionable notification, before you swipe it away, long press it and hit “turn off notifications.” Then you can go through that app’s list and choose the ones you need—or turn the app’s notification off completely!

For ones you want to show up, but don’t want interrupting you, switch their delivery to Silent and Minimized.

Be ruthless with your notifications. You’ll feel a lot better.

That’s hotly debated by moral philosophers and ethicists.

Oh, that makes all the sense in the world. You’re probably right.

Even if it’s a dozen companies making cases for every type of museum, zoo, and aquarium, it’s probably going to be a little bit like Chromebooks where the vast majority of different options are going to look the same unless you stare at them right next to one another or are in the industry. Most industrial design ends up pretty samey because that’s what people expect.

There are no such things as facts that come from outside of their leaders mouth.

Except when he says stuff that they don’t like, in which case they say “oh, he didn’t really mean it.”

Some of them do. Most of them believe, despite his own statements to the contrary, that he’d never do such a thing.

Why does every zoology museum look the aame

My guess is that it’s because there are only so many ways to arrange cases of bones and reproductions of skeletons in a way that’s visually interesting, compelling, and informational.

You can actually fairly easily unload tabs with about:unloads right now, but you have to do it in the order Facebook Firefox thinks they should be done for some reason.

Honestly, I don’t know why, but sidebar tabs have just never worked for me. It makes no sense, but for some reason my brain just doesn’t process them correctly.

But I agree, in general more fine-grained control of tabs would be the thing I would need in order to feel like Firefox was feature-complete.

Edit: Facebook? Wtf?

Fun fact: that was the original idea behind VLC! You could connect to video (and audio) streams. Hence, “VideoLAN.”

In the US, people definitely thought destroying valuable architecture for parking (and highways) was a great idea. It’s heartbreaking what we’ve lost.
