To save you some time, it’s Google’s Ad Center, which the article doesn’t even link to, as far as I can tell.
I’m not creeped out by any of the info I found in mine, but I am annoyed. “Yes, Google, I searched for [random thing] twice because I needed to know a little more information. That time has passed because I bought it or the event has passed or whatever. Reminding me about it just makes it weird.”
You can use vote411.org to get more information about the races and candidates, but I didn’t find the candidates responses helpful in making choices.
I’ve driven past the Justin Lane location a few times, but I’ve never visited. It seems to be a Christmas-themed bar and grill.
Sounds like OP is excited, but is it any good, or mostly gimmick?
Riptide, free for 2 epic days
Well, that was quick.
Unfortunately, DMCA abuse rarely has consequences for those behind it.
Oh look! The actual problem is buried at the end of the article.
It’s my understanding that filing a DMCA request requires that you certify that you have reviewed the content, and confirm that you believe the content to be infringing.
Here’s an excerpt from a sample takedown notice, provided by Georgetown University:
I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that my rights as the exclusive rights holder are being infringed.
Under penalty of perjury, I certify that the information contained in this notification is both true and accurate
I know that “reasonable belief” gives a lot of wiggle room from a legal standpoint, but c’mon. If no one pushes back on that, of course it will be abused!
There really need to be restrictions put in place mining and sharing of customer data
Full stop.
In a twisted way, I’m glad the problem has become blatant enough that politicians are starting to realize how it affects them. Companies have proven time and again that they shouldn’t be trusted with our data, but it’s hard to do anything without having to agree to let them collect and resell your info.
Every parking spot on the block is taken, and a handful of drivers are double-parked or stopped in front of businesses’ driveways. Others simply idle in the middle of the road.
It sounds like this is what happens when you have limited public transit and lax traffic enforcement.
“I’ve seen drivers cuss out the police. They cuss us out. They threaten to fight us,” Koral said. “We are verbally assaulted on the daily and threatened with physical violence on the daily. … It gets scary.”
Oh, and assholes. They make any situation more shitty.
I’m not actually sure what level of public transit San Francisco has. I know they have trolleys and trains, but I’m not sure what the service area/coverage is like. It sounds like the neighborhood in question isn’t covered well enough, though.
I’m not opposed to removing parking minimums, but it needs to be done in conjunction with other improvements to avoid situations like this. It’s wishful thinking to enact the former, hoping that this sort of pain will force political action to enact the latter.
How difficult was the transition? I assume you don’t have to convert your media. Is it basically just setting up Jellyfin and pointing to the existing data? Is it possible to use both services simultaneously from the same multimedia location (e.g. as a transitional period)?
I think a wiki of useful software and communities would be great! On reddit, weekly threads were often designed to corral posts so that the subreddit wasn’t flooded with similar topics. It seems like that’s not a problem here, so weekly posts would have to be pretty open-ended to spur discussion. For example, this week there could be a Black Friday Hardware Deals Post or something (e.g. I hear those 18TB WD hard drives at Best Buy are decent starter NAS material). Next week, there could be a post about shucking the drives.
He was fired because “he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.”
Has that suddenly changed, or are they just super eager to look like idiots as publicly as possible?
Maybe the AI told them to do it. /s
Don’t take the abrasiveness of their post personally. They were quoting from the movie Office Space.
That language is somewhat misleading.
That seems to be a common complaint when it comes to Texas propositions.
“P.S. there’s a celebration tonight at 6PM at Upstairs at Caroline!”
Get there early! Parking is limited! /s
The fundamental relationship between smart-home companies and their customers is founded on trust.
Man… I’d like to be able to live in their world. In reality, it seems the fundamental relationship is based on “this is convenient and cheap enough that I’m willing to give up some privacy in that aspect of my life.”, but I’d never classify it as “trust”. I’ve had internet connected cameras. I would only ever place them outside my house. My garage door also had a camera watching it, just in case my smart garage door opener decided to act up unexpectedly.
Of course, I still have a smart phone in my pocket. I guess I’ve essentially given up on that front.
the possibilities of head-on collisions and left turn-related crashes are virtually eliminated
intended to slow drivers to speeds where crashes are far less severe.
I’ve definitely heard that they’re safer, but this just seems to indicate that the crashes aren’t as bad. Are there also fewer crashes?
Although some studies point to roundabouts causing higher numbers of minor crashes ― a point which WisDOT recognizes in its manual ― Qin said, in terms of injury severity, roundabouts are considerably safer.
Oh… ok. Not dying is a perk, but I’m sure everyone will be super stoked to be in more accidents that are right around the cost of their insurance deductible.
It often feels harder to drive defensively in a roundabout (especially multi-lane roundabouts) when I need to look over my left shoulder to make sure it’s clear to merge while also looking to my right to make sure that the guy in the lane next to me or the other guy getting on at the next entrance know to yield to me. In a traditional intersection, all “conflict points” that the article mentions are in front of you as you enter the intersection.
“I cherish life with all my heart. I don’t care how many men, women, and children I have to kill to protect it.”
I assume “slapformer” is a portmanteau of “slap stick” and “platformer”. I’m intrigued, and I can’t wait to check out Barnsworth.
I’m not diagnosed with any form of neurodivergence (I hesitate to say neurotypical. I just manage any “weirdness” well enough to get by).
I played the dinosaur game for a little while. With the exception of the “notes” suddenly becoming a huge mess, it just feels like “Gaslighting: The Game”. I get the frustration, but I agree that it doesn’t help me understand ADHD any better.
Imgur started as a place to host photos posted to reddit. It would be interesting if Imgur surpassed Reddit, but they serve different purposes. Reddit is a link aggregator supported by community discussion. You may see a lot of photos, but you’ll also see news and other interesting websites and conversations. I’m not super involved in the Imgur community; I know it’s kind of taken off as its own thing. AFAIK, though, you don’t post “TIL” or “ELI5”-style posts to Imgur.
