Anyone remember Max Headroom?

It redirects me fine.

Why on earth would the BBC want or care for people to believe that? Are they in the pay of the anti-autism league? We're through the looking glass people!

Have you tried BritBox? It seems to show Doctor Who, but ironically, being in the UK I'm unable to access their site to see specific details.

Couldn't agree more. I've only published on Google Play, but the number of hoops Google makes you jump through (and keeps making you jump through if you want to keep your app in the store) is a full-time job in itself. New permission requirements, needing to self-decalre that your app does/doesn't do this or that, forcing you to reveal your personal details. The list goes on.

If someone put my name and address on the internet and then falsely claimed I'd committed some henious crime against children (and maybe added a fake AI image) I'd certainly want the police to do something.

Who's talking about criticising the government? If someone put my name and address on the internet and then falsely claimed I'd committed some henious crime against children (and maybe added a fake AI image) I'd certainly want the police to do something.

It's almost like a "ship of Theseus" problem. If something arrived in Finland for assembly that could theoretically be disassembled, does the final product count as being assembled in Finland? What even counts as "assembling"?

Which of the 12K arrests do you not agree with? Or are you saying people should be free to write whatever they want on social media with no repercussions?

That depends. It might be going above-and-beyond your job.

An electrician doing an inspection and noticing and fixing big electrical issues in the installation, would be appreciated, even if the accidents didn't happen.

Not if nobody knew he'd fixed it.

Great work. The gov.uk site is a beacon of light on the web.

Why is it that the larger the company, the less likely they'll have proper support?

I'm not sure what your point is?

Several UK councils now charge double council tax (the monthly tax you pay for having a house) on second homes, exemptions notwithstanding.

Here in the UK it's currently exam season. One of my son's had a GCSE exam just today.

I can't help feeling that if you're turning JS off, you might as well turn off your computer to protect your data.

If retirement age was say 80 instead of 60, there would be 25% fewer jobs to go around.

By that logic, when the population was 25% less than it is now (~1980s), there was a job for everyone.

It's taking "computer says no" to the next level. Computers do exactly what they're told, but who told them? The person entering data? The original programmer or designer of the system? The author of whatever language text was used to feed the ai? Even before AI, it was very difficult to determine who is accountable, and now it's even more obfuscated.

Because lots of people, businesses and governments don't want to.

Don't also forget the walk to get to the bus.

set the agenda for the day

Were 90% of the agendas "working on the same thing as yesterday"? Did no-one know what they were doing that day until they had the daily meeting?

Hobbyist gamedevs: I only have one project that isn't abandoned, and that's my next one.

Or someone starts with an Excel spreadsheet just to "keep track of a few things". Then before they know it, it has become a critical part of the business but too monolithic and unorganised to be usable.

Pretty much every 8-bit computer game of 1987 or earlier (before the 128kB machines became popular) were < 40Kb? The Spectrum and Commodore combined probably had a library in excess of 50,000 games.

But they didn't attribute it. Or does this not really matter?

Did they use the same username/login every time?

Like the OpenAI deal?

Ideally it would be "don't buy from Oracle", but we don't get to affect those decisions.
