The EU is not an alliance, since member states give up a good portion of their sovereignty to the bloc. It’s much closer to a “loosely bound US” than a “NATO on steroids”.

As others already said, avoiding reporting is considered a crime, regardless of whether what you do with the money is or isn’t a crime itself.

If there’s a reason for the withdrawals (e.g. the seller puts a quota on how much you can buy daily/weekly) that’s legitimate, but splitting the transactions of your own accord could carry aditional headaches as opposed to filling out the report.

Although, I’d recommend using a direct credit transfer as that’s more traceable so you’ll be safer. Firstly if the IRS sends someone to inquire they’ll have a trail if the money, and secondly if anything happens with the gold/seller you’ll also have evidence to back up your claims.

And no such century lasted for a century either.

“You are right, I made a mistake. Here is a better answer.” Continues to give wrong answers.

To be fair, the AI’s not wrong. It’s probably better, but just a teeny tiny bit so.

Honestly, AI is like a genie - whatever you come up with he’ll just butcher and misinterpret so you start questioning both your own sanity and the semantics of language. Good thing these genies have no wish limit, but bad thing that they murder rainforests while generating their non-sequitur replies.

It literally is just Incognito (Private browsing), a little reskinned. Pretty much a temporary container living as long as the Ghest window - just like Incognito.

This email makes no sense.

Let me paraphrase them:

We bet on mobile and won big. AI is great. AI tutors are a thing.

Therefore we’ll get AI to understand our codebase and get it to fo stuff people did before

This isn’t “betting on” AI. This is outsourcing to AI.

You can be an AI company (theoretically) - have people make AI models that are then deployed. Note the lack of recursively, made-by-AI-for-AI products and services.

Tbh, Duolingo was always a gimmick. It doesn’t teach you a language. It teaches you small snippets of 5-10 words each with little to no grammar. It’s repetitive and boring. It was that way before the lives they said they’d never add.

They lost me as a user when they rolled out lives.

Now, I hope they lose someone else.

Duolingo has potential. But learning a language always required a large time investmant, and it always will.

I assume its lessons will only get worse than they already are.

adding that “no one is safe”

Of course no one is safe. Once you “fall from grace”, it’s a free-for-all. Seems the time has come for America to take a stronger stance against most of the “western” world.

In fact - no, it’s just a reskin of incognito to make it not feel like you’re not watching porn.

Which might make it feel like a non-issue and a useless thing to add, but flip that around - it’s a low-cost, potentially very high-reward improvement. It really should’ve been implemented ages ago.

The only things that need to be changed is the new tab page and the toolbar - both design “improvements”.

82% of world imports came from China.

Wow, didn’t know the world imported stuff (China wasn’t part of it).

Ever heard of the world global?

is not a king

Even if be were called “King” rather than “President”, the Constitution is still a thing. He can call himself whatever, really.

Funny thing is, many citizens of the US seem to have less rights and priviledges than subjects of the UK.

Just as there is no for cops murdering pretty much anyone for anything on the clock. “Standing your ground” to these bastards is plain playing with fire. If you’re not perfectly white and very lucky, you’ll be just signing your own death warrant.

the page will immediately get blocked because it tried to load a result from Reddit or coursehero or something

Does that mean any search (AI insight notwithstanding) will get blocked if it includes a Reddit, Coursera or something on the blocklist result at all?

Because if yes, that’s much more than just asinine. It’s basically blocking entire search topics due to the sheer fact that Reddit will appear on the furst page of Google a lot.

Oh, look! A challenge. And a business opportunity! Just get a mortgage, buy some land in the middle of nowhere and make a reverse hydro plant.

Oh, I forgot. Banks don’t loan money for stuff not already existing or net-harmful hyped-up bullshit like AI and crypto.

Great. Now do Guest mode. It’s a must-have for places like libraries and internet cafes - if Firefox equalled Chrome in this regard it’d easily gain a percent on the market share scale.

You mean laughing in before COVID

Tell grandma with Parkinson’s to “adapt”. While not as ubiquitus a disability as daltonism or blindness, interfaces should still cater to people with them.

When it’s kids adapting it’s fun. When it’s someone with tremors physically incapable of gently and precisely tapping the exact 5px, it’s just bad design.

I’ve yet to see an accessibility setting for this very valid usecase.

Fair. Although, I consider Microsoft’s market “Most laptops” since Apple kind of does its own thing and Chromebooks are ultra-low end laptops. Thus Microsoft gets ~95% of the market for themselves.

Personally, I’d say that’s a clear case of monopoly since MS controls this entire segment of “non-Apple, non-ultra low power laptop, PCs”, but you’re right - there are other players. The thing is, they have relatively tiny niches in which they thrive and in fact pose no threat to the monopolist.

But I now I see how you see it as an oligopoly, which is quite valid.

In practice. Technically, were M$ to go sue users left and right (or send those ISP-style “gotcha”, now pay up) emails.

Luckiy, M$ knows well enough that 90% of that userbase wouldn’t have too many qualms jumping ship if they got slapped with a huge fine, so M$ lets them be.

They value the high userbase more than a quick payout (and rightly so). However, there’s no guarantee that can’t change overnight (just look at Unity and before that, Adobe).

oligopoly

That’s a way to misspell monopoly, alright.

It merely says “go European”, not “go domestic”. Of course you can join!
