Vance didn’t do badly, but I genuinely can’t remember any of his answers

I remember when he said "We must stop listening to the experts and start listening to common sense." I rolled my eyes at that one.

This is the first time I hear the term weaponizing in the way you describe it. I would have said "AI obliterated the chore of finding the right answer from SO" or something similar. To me, weaponizing means, using against a person or entity.

But regardless, thanks for explaining.

Thanks!

What do you mean by weaponizing?

What's an NPU?

Last time I tried to look up how to fenagle a dingle, Google showed me ads about how to friffle bahoonies for two pages, and finally out showed me the dingle fenagling algorithm in the ancient Expert Sex Change website.

Regex and other forms of complex pattern matching are way easier for a computer than a human.

I know what you meant by this, but I still chuckled. Humans are the ultimate pattern matching machines in the whole solar system.

That phrase doesn't bother me, but I can understand the sentiment. People tend to use the same "clever" phrases over and over, and when there is a phrase you don't particularly like, you end up hating it after the 100th time.

In my case, it's "looking at you, X" where X is not a person. E.g. "I'm looking at you, Unity framework!"

Or whenever there is a post about a wholesome prank, someone will always comment "See? This is a good prank. Nobody got hurt, everyone laughs." At this point, I'm inclined to think that people deliberately do it as a version of "First post!!"

I can't disagree with that. Which makes it worse - tampering with evidence.

Who would downvote you?

I miss mine.

You could sue those assholes in The Hague, toch?

You're right. But it's not his phone. It's his employer's phone.

No, not everyone. If I'm a public servant, I should be using work phones for work stuff. And I should expect any government-sanctioned investigation office to have access to it.

It would be a different thing if it was his personal phone. In that case, I could agree with you.

Goodbye

Hmmm, I think the people who vetted him knew exactly what they were doing.

Thank you for the context..!

Why does it make it complete?

I'm not going to look into the parent poster's history, but they are right. As much as I despise Trumpists, the GOP and the media enabling them, RawStory is no better. Whenever I see such headline, I get to say "let me guess... yup. RawStory." I'm this close to blocking them. I'm done with yellow press, be it from Fox News, Breitbart or, yes, RawStory. Give me something more objective, like APNews*, for example.

*I don't like APNews movie critics, to be fair.

Ah, you're talking about planting evidence. I can't comment on that one. But I don't doubt it has happened before.
