I am hearing this from a lot of people… GCP down but status page shows no issues (still!) Granted status pages are manually updated: but because it’s Google, it’s odd that DownDetector is a more reliable source of truth than GCP’s status page

GCP is entirely fucked right now and the status page is all green.

Washington allows you to vote in-person if you want to. False dichotomy from the GOP in the form of a push-poll? You don't say

Can an AI agent bind a corporate entity? Meta's AI was just talking out its ass on climbing topics, and when I called it out, it promised to STFU. It's obviously gonna do it again, but ... are other chat bots trained against overcommitting?

Before the internet took over, I like to think 'Almost Live!' united Seattleites with a good laugh—we were the city’s original meme factory! I'm incredibly proud to have been part of the 'Almost Live!' family & am excited for @MOHAI's exhibit on the show's 15 seasons. Info ⬇️

We know many people, including those in the research community, value seeing previous versions of webpages when available. That’s why beginning today, we're adding links to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to our "About this result" panel, to give people quick context and make this helpful information easily accessible through Search. To access archive links, click on the three dots next to a search result. In the window that appears, click on the "More about this page" button, then look for the "See previous versions on Internet Archive's Wayback Machine" link. It will take a day or so for this to fully roll out and be available for those searching in 40 different languages. Learn more about how "About this result" works and other information it offers here: support.google.com/websearch…

This is story about American child labor and the lack of oversight, highlighting a child worker badly injured on a Darigold dairy in Washington State gift link: nytimes.com/2023/12/28/us/mi…
NYT screenshot with photo of dairy cows in Washington’s Yakima Valley “The Times spoke with a half-dozen children who came to the United States alone and worked full time for Darigold suppliers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon.”

It might not be the sharpest thing in the world, but you can get pretty damn close by pulling tungsten wire tight, and striking it with a knife. Good enough for STM.

It turns out that the major pharmacies in the U.S. routinely provide patient medical records to law enforcement without a warrant. The potential ramifications of this for anyone on birth control, medication for mental illness or other personal conditions are staggering.

The federal government is surveilling TRILLIONS of Americans' private phone records, often without a warrant. I'm calling on DOJ to release additional information about this surveillance program that would shock and outrage Americans and others in Congress if it were made public.
