Or how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
- Comment on If you’ve got an EV, Google Maps is about to become much more valuable | New updates address one of Americans’ top concerns about owning an electric car: finding a place to charge 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s how I usually do it, just leaving it muted. I’d expect to continue to enter a destination. The ETA would update if I take a wrong turn, choose another route or get caught in traffic. Basically it should work exactly as it currently does, I just don’t want to have the map on the screen sometimes.

Would also love to have just an ETA without directions. I usually don’t need them commuting or going about town, but I keep them up anyway to keep track of time. Would love just an ETA widget.

- Comment on Amazon's Just Walk Out technology relies on hundreds of workers in India watching you shop 4 weeks ago:
They weren’t just tracking what you bought. They wanted to track what you looked at and for how long, to learn what packaging worked best.

Once more games are pixel streamed, that’s probably possible
- Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 1 month ago:
I’m also curious if the fake users are part of the campaign or if reddit is scamming the advertisers too.
- Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 1 month ago:
I was curious about the “Philly cream cheese” campaign example they mentioned. I assume it’s this post.
The top reply is trolling them, which is awesome. So much for increased engagement.
But even funnier is the next top reply, which seems sincere. But when you look at the user profile. Almost all of u/sunshinedogger’s comments in the last year are on sponsored posts. So even the positive engagement is manufactured?

Didn’t they use to have this years ago? And then removed it?

It also won’t be able to differentiate between a jackdaw and a crow.
- Comment on Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, So We Made a Firefox Extension That Lets You Replace Your Comments With Any (Non-Copyrighted) Text 2 months ago:
Honestly, parsing through version history is actually something an LLM could handle. It might even make more sense of it than without. For example, if someone replies to a comment and then the parent is edited to say something different. No one will have to waste their time filtering anything.

Fast as shit.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
My conspiracy theory is that companies will soon pay Google to redirect traffic past their businesses within an acceptable delay. For example, as long as it’s not more than 1-2min delay, make sure they pass this KFC.
- Comment on Milking machine 4 months ago:
If they configure them face to face, they could probably build one machine that jerks off two donors at the same time, on the upstroke and downstroke.

Guys, does girth similarity affect the machine’s ability to jerk off different patients?

100% agree with you now. I wasn’t at that level of analysis at the time yet.
- Comment on Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia 6 months ago:
I will admit there was a time when he was pushing electric cars while traditional auto manufacturers seemed to be dragging their feet. It felt like he was on the right side of a big issue and shaking things up. I think it’s important to admit when we get it wrong. And boy did I get it wrong.

I use Firefox with uBlockOrigin and haven’t had to do any manual updates or anything. I still seem to be unaffected by the changes everyone is talking about. Is it a slow rollout or does uBO just silently keep up with it?
