I meant debt indeed. And as long as the company survives, nobody is going to investigate where the cash is flowing. If it does go bankrupt, someone might. The question is, who is going to pay for the investigation to prove the wrong doing?

My actual opnion is that they don’t want to think if they should, because they know the answer. The pressure to go public with a shitty model outweighs the responsibility to the people relying on the search results.

In the Netherlands, only one book I know of used to be banned (maybe it still is). The publishing rights of the work in question were claimed by the state in this instance, and they refused to allow publication of the book. The book in question was the Dutch translation of Hitlers “Mein Kampf”.

The site kissthisguy.com used to be a great source for this, but unfortunately today it’s mostly a place for lyrics which may also fit the song.

If you mean the Dutch, they also have a lot trouble locally with flooding.

LLM’s may not have any intent, but companies do. In this case, Google decides to present the AI answer on top of the regular search answers, knowing that AI can make stuff up. MAybe the AI isn’t lying, but Google definitely is. Even with the “everything is experimental, learn more” line, because they’d just give the information if they’d really want you to learn more, instead of making you have to click again for it.

This reminds me of a story I read a long time ago about Dutchmen who moved to America and ended up collecting waste in Chicago. At some time, the Mafia decided the trash business was too lucrative, so they decided to take over. It didn’t work out because the Dutch owned the land fills, and they closed ranks against the Mafia. Found somewhat of a source online: https://www.swierenga.com/ChicagoDutchGarbios.html

You forgot that besides the patents sell-off, they’ll sell just anything the company owns to another company owned by them, just to lease everything back so the company can accumulate dept. In the same trend work gets sent to sub-contractors owned by them, and consultants get hired to make sure the value of the company rises because they invest in getting better at whatever.

Also, If most off these things don’t happen at your company, then all value is allready extracted and only the depts will pile up until bankruptcy.

Perfectly preserved? All that’s left is is the skin which has turned into leather due to the acidic environment in the bog.

There are already organisms which can digest certain plastics. The problem (AFAIK) is they can digest other stuff more easily. So maybe in landfills ill work, not so much in nature were there’s other organic matter for the taking.

The difference is, they say meters but with two decimals, which makes it centimeters.

Yes. But mostly the latter.

Roe vs Wade:

1973

If they would really give their height in meters, they would almost all be 2 meters except for the very short people.

I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?

The answer is if you round up to 1 digit, these heights are the same. So we give height in cm’s, because otherwise it’s not a usefull metric.

Well, where I live, 1,85 m is less than average height, 1,90 m is more than average. It’s also a noticable difference, especially if you’re in the same height range.

This article gives the impression that most people who studied English literature are now considered to be doing some equivalent of flipping burgers.

In 1984 the smallest Volkswagen was the Polo, weighing 685 kg. Now it is the Up, weighing 991 kg. That’s 45% more weight. Now you specifically didn’t mention weight, but all that weight has to go somewhere, especially considering most materials mostly got lighter.

In the past sz was also used, but it’s not allowed in modern spelling. The ß was (is?) used for both ss and sz, to the point where nobody knew anymore which it was originally.
