  • Protests broke Reddit hack for useful Google search results—and Google knows it

    Jump

  • “Many of you may wonder how we have a search team that’s iterating and building all this new stuff and yet somehow, users are still not quite happy,” Raghavan reportedly said.

    Their search has been getting worse and worse for a long time before the Reddit protest.

  • Unicorn social app IRL to shut down after admitting 95% of its users were fake

    Jump

  • Only the bots knew of it.

  • Janitor heard 'annoying alarms' and turned off freezer, ruining 20 years of school research worth $1 million, lawsuit says | CNN

    Jump

  • Specially as:

    A warning was posted on the freezer, according to the court filing.

    “THIS FREEZER IS BEEPING AS IT IS UNDER REPAIR. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE OR UNPLUG IT. NO CLEANING REQUIRED IN THIS AREA. YOU CAN PRESS THE ALARM/TEST MUTE BUTTON FOR 5-10 SECONDS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MUTE THE SOUND,”

    Jump

  • Only short titles in list view need care. Longer titles are easy.

    Offer a patch.

  • Users Have Had It With Reddit...But Are Powerless

    Jump

  • They are not powerless. They have their own choice. Stop going there!

  • Filter Changes

    Jump

  • Just noticed the same and logged into the website to check the insurance wasn't broken. Nope. It's jerboa.

    It's a known bug with version 0.36. Drop back to the previous version or use the web.

  • What screams "poorly educated"?

    36,000 deaths and 4.5 million injured doesn't cause alarm. And that's only the human numbers. Wildlife doesn't count.

  • Civil Rights Defenders launches Off.guard - the first tool created to share vital information when internet shuts down

    Jump

  • Took a long time following links to find:

    In order for off.guard to work properly make sure to activate push-notifications for this website in chrome settings and click activate notifications below. Then off.guard will take care of the rest.

    So it's using net access to push info out.

    I gave up finding more. Lots of marketing buzz words and little technical details.

  • This will be saving you typing in +reddit +stackspace on searches. Still the same results.

  • What is the easiest way to convert physical book to digital?

    Jump

  • First you need to get images of them. Better quality images make the ocr step better. Then image to text.

    Make a frame to hold the camera at the right height above the page. Good lighting.

    It's not quick unless you have the hardware.

    Another option is to send the book to a place that will scan it for you. Google for options.

  • Walkable Neighborhoods Help Adults Socialize, Increase Community

    Jump

  • Walking beside the 6 lane road yesterday. Traffic was backed up as always. Seeing all cars, mostly with just the driver. I wondered if in the horse & cart days if people talked to each other as the traveled along on their horse. Or crossed paths. I bet they did.

    Instead today, everyone isolated in their box.
