DUCK!

The racism is in training on white patients only, not in the abilities of the AI in this case.

Thanks for taking my trolling in good stride. I actually loved the internet of 20 years ago. It was totally different from today, it’s actually a shame a lot of the way it was is gone forever. I vividly remember frequenting a few blogs, just slow chatting in the comments, making your own response images, hosting your own stuff like these images, sound clips and whatever else. Most ISP’s would give you some server space to host your own static html pages, and lot’s of people used this. The blogs would host photoshop contests, link to stuff they liked, reported on news or music or whatever their niche. The blogs I visited are mostly still around today, but they just don’t draw the engagement anymore.

the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be

A communication network for scientists and the military?

But, it is plausible you didn’t flip 50:50 since the 50:50 is on average.

Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.

That’s my fetish…

I have a kid of the same age, and ours are less strict, except for bed time, it’s 21:30 if there’s school the next day. Wake up time is whatever necessary, like others said teens need their rest. Screen time ends at 21:00 on school nights, but will get more strict if school results are getting lower. Basically we give our kids a lot of freedom, but expect them to do their school work and behave like normal human beings. We’re also strict on alcohol, drugs or other substances, which is not always the case in my part of the world.

Very much this, a lot of stuff is packed in plastic today where it doesn’t need packaging at all. Packaging is becoming an industry where there is no added value very quickly.

True, but not always. A lot of waste and pollution comes from packaging, which if I think about it seems to be an industry which tries (and succeeds) to create it’s own demand. Like this one, a new “recyclable” packaging with more plastics in it than the old bags.

I remember Java being seen as the best thing ever in the 90’s, and it was considered “cool” at that time. So cool even, that it became the programming equivalent of a hammer, every coding challenge looked like a nail for which you could use it.

Taller people have higher BMI’s, something to consider.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Wireless almost had it right.

Reminds me of Wireless Seattle, that must be what, 25 years ago?

Civilized in this context would mean “at an advanced state of social and cultural development” I guess? Looking at this definition, I can allready tell you I live in th most civilized part of the world, since this would be higly subjective.

Ok, than now all we have to do is decide who’s civilized, Europe or America, and then we know which is right.

In the Netherlands, it’s not like the King or his family aren’t doing anything. They are somewhat like special ambassadors for the country. They also are highly connected, both to people in governments and other people in a position of power. And they do answer to the Parliament.

Does that matter if they’re all federated? Or do you propose to block instances?

Trump wasn’t president a year ago, and it was the same back then. Besides that, the communities that aren’t supposed to be political tend to get a lot of political content, for instance every time Elon farts it gets posted to the technology communities. The only option not to get confronted with this is to block lots of communities and/or users.

Pick a study which fits you curriculum wise. It doesn’t have to perfect, as long as it’s interesting enough and it’s doable for you. If you’re lucky you’ll figure it out during your study years, otherwise you’ll figure it out after you start working. In my experience, people with a somewhat fitting education tend to stumble into a job they like. Also remember a job is just that, a means to pay for your lifestyle.
