“I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said.

There's nothing 'altruistic' about reddit

Emojis should be purely generic, and not represent an individual product or service.

No apple logo. No BMW logo. Generic.

Imagine if every brand had a fucking emoji, what a wasteland that would be. And then in years to come the unicode character space is littered with dead brands that have gone the way of the dinosaur but still living on in emoji form like digital trash, because emoji are permanent. There's no taking it out once it's made.

So I'd support an emoji to represent the notion of 'digital currency' but it should be generic, not Bitcoin.

Is the answer. Cheating is a mechanism to both have their cake, and eat it.

Plus all the accoutrements that invariably went along with The Computer.

A printer and a scanner

A filing cabinet for all the things you liked to print and scan

A rack full of CD-ROM disks like Encarta 95 and Ecco The Dolphin and CorelDRAW 4

A beige container with clear plastic lid for storing floppy disks, that for some reason had a lock on it as if floppy disks were the Crown Jewels

For added theatrics, after they pay you can slowly fade the site back in over a few days too, as if websites need bill money the same way humans need food, and it is slowly getting better after "being starved"

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the program at all =)

Modern webapp deployment approach is typically to have an automated continuous build and deployment pipeline triggered from source control, which deploys into a staging environment for testing, and then promotes the same precise tested artifacts to production. Probably all in the cloud too.

Compared to that, manually FTPing the files up to the server seems ridiculously antiquated, to the extent that newbies in the biz can't even believe we ever did it that way. But it's genuinely what we were all doing not so long ago.

Yes, but ascertaining liability and securing a payout is a process that may take many years of being dragged through the courts, if it is even successful at all.

The government making money available immediately does help get things going with less uncertainty about who can foot the bill.

The most annoying thing is that carmakers didn't move to touchscreen-only because people want it, they're doing it because it saves them money to ditch physical controls.

"Hey the touchscreen is already here, may as well just put everything on it!"

Yeah how about don't. It's such a pain having to fumble for things like climate control that used to just be a knob.

The ideal situation is having both.

The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."

Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.

Shame on Air Canada for even fighting it.

I'm glad for this ruling. We need to set a legal precedent that chatbots act on behalf of the company. And if businesses try to claim that chatbots sometimes make mistakes then too bad - so do human agents, and when this happens in this customer's favour it needs to be honoured.

Companies want to use AI to supplement and replace human agents, but without any of the legal consequences of real people. We cannot let them have their cake and eat it at the same time.

Closed, to keep the monsters out.
