Best part of the article, hat tip to author Emanuel for how he included the correction request:
After this story was published Google’s spokesperson reached out and asked us to publish a slightly different version of that statement. The new statement no longer stated that “it’s critical that we maintain humans in the loop.”
FIFA taking cues from Trump on PR. Do awful things, lie, don’t acknowledge the criticism, never apologize, keep doubling down. Maybe he could leave office and go join their board?
The US plans to slap the new tariff on dozens of countries for allegedly failing to “address the importation of goods made with forced labour”.
I hope every country tariffs in return, citing how the US uses prison labor for all sorts of things and pays them so low it would take a full day to earn enough to buy a pack of ramen soup.
In some states, inmates may be paid as little as $0.12 per hour, a fraction of the minimum wage.

Good luck. Tough to pick a more DIY-oriented bunch of hobbyists who would rather build their own hardware and compile their own software over allowing their printer to narc on them to the government.
RepRap 2: Countersurveillance Boogaloo, launching soon.
I very much like sports. They belong in sports-specific communities though, not news communities, unless they’re actually making news. Like how FIFA is under investigation for fixing ticket prices. Or how the DOJ launched an investigation into FIFA for bribery but were dismissed by a judge saying bribery isn’t a priority of Trump’s administration. Or how Mexico will host the Iranian team because the US won’t let them stay overnight.
Even those more actual-news stories belong in world cup communities for now due to the volume of stories coming out. I would strongly prefer this community not become 25%+ world cup posts for the duration of the cup.
We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States
… “because we’ve somehow managed to fuck up our health system even more, and our doctors most capable of treating Ebola have left the US to other countries where they are supported in their efforts to save lives while we sit around, tanning our taints and eating roadkill dick”
FTFY, lil’ Marco.
Yep, $5.99/month last time I looked maybe 6 months ago.
I don’t know anyone with a tracker ring that doesn’t also have a watch. Feels like extra tech for the sake of having cool tech, to me. Very much a niche item that is even more luxurious than a smartwatch.

There will be outbreaks of other corona viruses in the future. I wonder if this medicine will be effective against them or at least will be a baseline from which adjustments can be more quickly made to be effective against a different corona virus. This is one of the most positive news stories I’ve seen today.
They’re probably doing that to protect the identity of any Google workers providing them with information. If they posted the actual meme, Google could possibly trace it back to an employee and fire them.
Some of the memes they do have in the article, they note they are reconstructions and not the actual memes from Googles internal channels.
I agree it’s long though, they could have just recreated them and skipped the written description.
