For a brief brief moment I was elated when I parsed the title as 'Palantir says it has given up on AI'. Then I read the article and was left dejected.

You've actually seen trans people, in person, threaten to burn down a surgery building? I doubt this.

As for people being suicidal, that's a known problem which happens as a result of being trans in a country that wants to deny them support, which is exactly why trans people are trying to get recognition in the first place. Denying that isn't exactly going to make their mental health any better, and they can't be blamed for that.

(aside: I keep messing up with parsing the acronyms ECHR and EHRC.)

I doubt this will lead to anything positive, possibly even starmer aping conservative's desire to leave human rights bodies altogether, but I wish them luck all the same.

Absolutely. Screenshots of 3d desktop cube on ubuntu more than a decade ago is what taught me linux existed. It's an absolutely terrible and inefficient way to run desktop workspaces, but it hooked me all the same.

Users need to know what this dot means, and some like children or the elderly will likely not understand the ramifications

"The two models, the 30TB ... and the 32TB ..., each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk". Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?

At this point the web is about as complex as an operating system in terms of complexity. That needs really strong specific standards in order for it to work, and in turn projects like web browsers are huge and complex.

If someone wanted to build a web browser that only followed the simpler parts of the specifications, it wouldn't work for many websites* and people would not use that browser.

*Whether or not sites need to be so complex is another question entirely, but the reality right now is that they are

Answer wrong. The more of us humans that answer wrong, the less accurate we need to be to get past these stupid things. If google want me to do work for them, they can pay me.
