That's what they need AI for. It won't say no.

The engineers did not say no either though.

My experience is that most won’t. I was someone who wouldn’t say no, once. For me it was because I was naive and didn’t believe people would work so hard to exploit others.

In fact, one time there were users on an ad network I built who were breaking rules. I’d track them and try to figure out where they came from and who they actually are, only for them to drop out and open a new account. I’d report to my CEO about this, ask for advice, generally discuss strategies to prevent this kind of usage of the network. He seemed very concerned. But sure enough, eventually I figured out it was actually him all along. He was making tens of thousands of dollars in revenue per month doing literally the most shady stuff on the network. He was using my naivety to keep himself in the loop on internal compliance and stay a step ahead of me.

I’ve worked with several people like this. They love the tech industry. I had to finally admit to myself that I worked with bad people and did bad things to develop the awareness and courage to start saying no and do something else.

Once I was gone, he did the same thing with a younger developer who was eager to break into the industry. I actually work with him now, nearly 15 years later.

They're hoping that in the long run AI won't say no and will be cheaper

There's a +n....r license. It mandates that all copies of code include the n-word, so no big corporation can use it in their products.

Local, traditional name and the official name requested by the country embassy. For example at one point Birma changed it's name to Mjanma. It looks like this https://postimg.cc/zHYKb3DF

I think that, because it's an international body of water, there IS no "official" name.

Firefox warned me about mismatching certificate on your site. I don't think most people would click accept risk seeing the scary page.

Damn, OVH broke the TLS. I migrated it to my server and it's not properly served with a valid TLS. I'll let it run for a few days before publishing the details and insisting at their security contact point. Thanks

Notice how they included cans in new goals. Over 60% of aluminum used in beverage cans comes from recycling just because it's a profitable business practice. They can claim ridicules percentages of recycling just by lumping cans and bottles together, even though most of it comes from material that was never a problem.

I just tried to run it and all it produces is a single line and segfault:

The politics section list some niche use by Facebook users and ignores that it was derived from antisemitic term describing media.

Used batteries themselves are not that much of a problem, because most of their value is in raw minerals used to make them. Recycling them is basically the same as processing raw metal ore, except the concentration of valuable stuff is much higher than in any natural deposit.

I think the goal here is to allow you to easily fix a device that only has a worn out battery, keeping it out of a landfill. The batteries could still be recycled and the process might be even easier if they were all user replaceable.

LyRa-T devkit from espressif is perfect for that. It has a two-core ESP32, i2s decoders, jack connectors and direct speaker output. https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits/esp32-lyrat
