You’re right and I know it’s fiction and not realistic, but since we’re shown he’s suffering while she stabs him, it still bugged me because I imagined him bleeding all the way

Well, it is a meme kind of thing in the How It Should Have Ended YouTube channel and often given as an explanation that he can do anything he wants (putting him on par with Superman). Here’s a post about this

Who told you to tell the truth?

You had no right!

Cameras with stronger security will become more and more important, though on a theoretical level, they could be cracked or forged, but I suppose it’s the usual cat and mouse game

Question: how do you update extensions?

I’m curious because I normally just update Firefox when it notifies me and normally reboot my machine once a day and I notice I never ever have seen ads with uBlock Origin + Firefox, not even on my phone.

Doesn’t uBlock Origin update automatically?

Even if they did so, isn’t Firefox entirely open source? At least their work could be forked (though I agree if they don’t have the resources, hardly anyone else could make it)

Brouhaha is its twin brother!

Wait, if you can (or anyone else chipping in), please elaborate on something you’ve written.

When you say

That means they can engineer a solution to any problem that has already been solved millions of times already.

Hasn’t Google already made advances through its Alpha Geometry AI?? Admittedly, that’s a geometry setting which may be easier to code than other parts of Math and there isn’t yet a clear indication AI will ever be able to reach a certain level of creativity that the human mind has, but at the same time it might get there by sheer volume of attempts.

Isn’t this still engineering a solution? Sometimes even researchers reach new results by having a machine verify many cases (see the proof of the Four Color Theorem). It’s true that in the Four Color Theorem researchers narrowed down the cases to try, but maybe a similar narrowing could be done by an AI (sooner or later)?

I don’t know what I’m talking about, so I should shut up, but I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable will correct me, since I’m curious about this

Good luck to everyone. Hopefully this chain of bad days will be broken soon

I also work from home for several extended periods of time, while during others I need to be on site one or two days a week (sometimes it’s nice, sometimes it’s a drag to be on site).

I have to say, while I can work a 100% of the time from home, the nice parts of being on site is to get to know more personally the people I meet. I don’t deny the fact that this be successfully done remotely too, but I believe as humans we need social connections. Yes, we can make friends online (which can carry over IRL and I know that personally) and yes you can meet your partner online too, but it always felt (at least to me) that if you meet others in person, you accelerate the connection.

I mean, I had a fairly bad time in high school, but I had the time of my life on college and met most of my friends then. I’m not sure I’d have made as many friends if it had all been online.

Also, as someone wrote in another post today (but I can’t remember where so I can’t link it, sorry), sometimes people (perhaps new hires fresh out of college) are not experienced enough to know when to be vocal and object to flaws in a project and in person meeting can be a boon to acquire that skill.

It’s a tricky subject, since it’s not that WFH or doing things online prevents normal life evolutions, but perhaps can make them more scarce or slow, while in person events can precipitate them.

I agree that companies forcing things is not the way to go, but somehow it feels like doing things entirely online should happen more later in life, when you’re settled and not before when you need to learn and make connections who you’ll want to meet in person too.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Moreover, not to take sides with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Dropbox, Box, etc, but storing files costs money to maintain (there needs to be redundancy, every once in a while drives need to be replaced, they need to be cooled, etc), so we’d like it to be cheap, but doing all these things cannot be free for the hosting company.

This is not to say they are jacking up prices, but that it cannot stay super cheap forever.

Still, these services have been very handy so far, though I’m looking to see if the plan I have is still convenient compared to the competition

Well, I’m waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven’t landed a good post to do so…

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames
