As I've seen somewhere:

Companies pay Google/Meta to show ads, and users pay them not to see ads.


I heard that it was a concert made for gods.

I can't wait for AI to automate manager/C-level work :)

I feel bad for the people working on it, but looking at the selected metric "60% faster", I don't think it is enough to turn the tides.

The correct metric would be something like "opens within one frame at 60fps". But that would require product design changes, not a technical problem.

> Japan ... has entry and exit controls on the borders, ... It is compulsory to carry identification documents if you are a foreigner.

This is true for almost all the countries in the world, especially the second part.

Happy for Hungary!

Unfortunatlely, half democracies (ie representative) are open to abuse and give too much power to presidents or governments. Combined with populism, lobbying and corruption, it allows people like Orban to stay in power for a long time. Glad it's over.


Happy for Hungary, the EU, the planet. The sooner the world falls out of love with populism and illiberalism, the better.


I wish the crew quoted "there is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark."
