Consistency mainly. Judges want to be able to easily understand what they're looking at and for it to look professional. Double-spacing gives room to write in changes or notes. Line numbers let you reference stuff easily.

No, I got the same message. It was very clear that I had 60 days to publish a new app or an update or my entire developer account would be closed and I would have to apply and pay all over again.

Ah, interesting. I guess it's that I did have a popular app on there (which was then removed after I completed a technology sale) and my details are verified.

Isn't good-paying domestic labor the main part of the problem? Hiring thousands of manual laborers at $5/hour is a lot more economical than at $15/hour plus $5/hr in benefits. And that applies to the steel workers and lumberjacks and fixture manufacturers who all have to be paid more too via material costs.

Digital scales are notorious for this. Rather than show natural weight fluctuations, plenty will just lie and say you weigh the same every day until it's a couple pounds different.


I've noticed that and assumed it's just a poor quality scale. Very frustrating. So this is actually intentional??


Even 100ms slower reaction times doesn't put most people outside the normal range: https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/133421/fnhum-09-0...

If that was too much, we wouldn't let people in their 50s drive.


Plenty of countries got excluded from this—Canada, Mexico, Belarus, Russia...


Canada and Mexico were already hit with 25% tariffs (on non-USMCA-compliant goods) last month...

Their interaction being they are in no way copyrightable because they are functional, not creative expressions. That's part of why every recipe has a dramatic story, so they can have a clear copyright case if copied wholesale.


Is that really the reason for these stories? I only know about them from memes, and looked it up when I first read about it. In my language this trend hasn't caught on yet, thankfully. I always chalked it up to cultural differences (and judged Americans a little bit for it tbh, since the idea of integrating a story into a recipe sounds rather insane).


>Is that really the reason for these stories?

No, it's more about ads and SEO and the fact that a lot of people like the touchy feely aspect of the stories and that causes them to engage with the site for longer, leaving their own comments and returning to the site and such.


It is (or used to be) for SEO. Google Search loves walls of "relevant" text and will punish recipe sites that get right to the point.


It’s also to add vertical height so you see more ads on your way to the recipe.


Twitter is down today. Do you have a mirror? I don't see an obvious recent post on Cloudflare's blog or Threads.


We'll write it up as a blog post.


Should have started with that.



OpenAI is legally bound to its non-profit goals, but the problem is that any law requires enforcement. If OpenAI acts against that public interest, is the Delaware attorney general really going to know and be able to prosecute the case?

I think what's arguably more important than theoretical legal rights is actually having stewards that care about the public benefit rather than leaving someone who would really love to funnel everything to his pocketbook if he could in charge and trusting him to respect the law.


Definitely; by "hard legal guarantee" I mean the entire thing, i.e. both a law and it being enforced/upheld. (Conversely, it doesn't even need to necessarily be a law, but I'm afraid a strong social norm is even further out of reach at the moment.)


I believe you can put positive or negative votes on specific people on Polymarket.
