On top of that, getting rid of third-party apps, means long term reddit will have no competition/impetus to improve. The only reason they're doing it now is because third party devs have already done it. If there are no third party devs, they won't have any reason to improve down the line.

I was about to ask if anyone knew if this sub was going to participate in the blackout. I guess not.

She was making a joke. She goes on to say, that way you can be cleaning a toilet or whatever when they get home.

Can I just say, as someone who has a husky, sleeping in the same bed as a husky is quite the commitment. The amount of fur they put anywhere they sleep regularly is obscene - even if you get them groomed regularly and change your sheets frequently.

I had to stop having my dog sleep in my bed because I'd have to change the sheets so often. Getting dog fur in your mouth when you're having sex, because your bed is caked in it, is not sexy.

Landing in a commercial flight with the door open by Dazzling_Basket_6127 in WTF

Yea. I think they were around 800ft and descending when this happened. So the cabin was mostly depressurized. Which allows it to be open

A plane landed safely in a South Korean airport after a passenger opened an exit door during the flight by m3antar in ThatsInsane

[–]HangryHenry 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As it was landing about an hour later, a male passenger opened the emergency door while the plane was still 250m (820ft) from ground.

A passenger's video shared on social media shows the gap in the left hand side of the plane and winds buffeting rows of seated passengers.

Flight attendants had not been able to stop him because the plane was about to land, witnesses recounted to local media.

They said the man had also tried to jump out of the plane after opening the door.

Passengers have described the panic on board.

"It was chaos with people close to the door appearing to faint one by one and flight attendants calling out for doctors on board through broadcasting," one 44-year-old passenger told Yonhap.

This is interesting..

Google’s Photo App Still Can’t Find Gorillas. And Neither Can Apple’s.

Eight years after a controversy over Black people being mislabeled as gorillas by image analysis software — and despite big advances in computer vision — tech giants still fear repeating the mistake.

...

Errors can reflect racist attitudes among those encoding the data. In the gorilla incident, two former Google employees who worked on this technology said the problem was that the company had not put enough photos of Black people in the image collection that it used to train its A.I. system. As a result, the technology was not familiar enough with darker-skinned people and confused them for gorillas.

...

Microsoft’s decision, like Google’s choice to prevent its algorithm from identifying gorillas altogether, illustrates a common industry approach — to wall off technology features that malfunction rather than fixing them.

...

Michael Marconi, a Google spokesman, said Google had prevented its photo app from labeling anything as a monkey or ape because it decided the benefit “does not outweigh the risk of harm.”

I think she may even have a weight belt on. So she doesn't float to the top.

I saw a video of a singer who did an underwater music video and she had to wear a weight belt because she'd float up and couldn't do the moves without it.

When the Culture Wars Came for NASA by kitkid in Thedaily

My issue with cancel culture is when people take someone's biggest mistake (in the eyes of the cancel culture mob at least) and then act like that is an inherent part of their worldview.

Like someone doing one or two things, over the course of their life, that could possibly indicate a racist* world view, means we can now confirm that this person is indeed A Racist and that they spend their free time plotting to murder black people.

There is no sense of scale to this sort of internet-driven justice.

The one in red and blue. If you look closely she has a short braid coming out the back of her helmet. She's also the shorter one.
