What's funny is that the engineers who implemented this are probably one of us here on HN. I don't think Zuck implemented this himself
That's what they need AI for. It won't say no.

I wonder if one can sneak in words into code to avoid public code to be used for training AI. Perhaps just a tiny little nazi reference.
There's a +n....r license. It mandates that all copies of code include the n-word, so no big corporation can use it in their products.
> when “name changes vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names.
Can someone clarify this bit? What does "both" refer to: the local name and ?
Local, traditional name and the official name requested by the country embassy. For example at one point Birma changed it's name to Mjanma. It looks like this https://postimg.cc/zHYKb3DF

Update: they responded to my disclosure with a canned response "there was not enough information to answer your question, please go through our contact form again". I guess that's an invitation to publish.
So here is the primer: the Belgian National Lottery used to be e-lotto.be. They decided to change (in French) to loterie-nationale.be. You might notice that in Belgium lotto has 2 T, same for "lottery" in English while the organization is "Loterie Nationale" with 1 T. They didn't register lotterie-nationale.be. I suggested it to them, got ignored. So I did it. If you go there now, you'll get a banner informing you about your mistake. I have a couple of victims every day, a lot more on Friday 13 etc.
There was a recent scandal that our former Finance Minister is accused of money laundering 800,000€ through that platform, so it's not a small website.
Firefox warned me about mismatching certificate on your site. I don't think most people would click accept risk seeing the scary page.
Notice how they included cans in new goals. Over 60% of aluminum used in beverage cans comes from recycling just because it's a profitable business practice. They can claim ridicules percentages of recycling just by lumping cans and bottles together, even though most of it comes from material that was never a problem.

> Police revealed that finding the 26-year-old was a complete surprise, and that they did not have his name on a list of suspects prior to today.
"I'd rather be lucky than good!" Impressive that they do seem to have found the right guy, based on the documents in his possession, and this was apparently due solely to the one photograph of his face that the police found and released.
I also note that this guy apparently had back surgery a few months ago.

This weirdest thing has been a staple of entries in the IOCCC [1].
It is used not only to obfuscate, but also to save characters.
For example, in this 1989 arbitrary length maze generator submission
char*M,A,Z,E=40,J[40],T[40];main(C){for(*J=A=scanf(M="%d",&C);
-- E; J[ E] =T
[E ]= E) printf("._"); for(;(A-=Z=!Z) || (printf("\n|"
) , A = 39 ,C --
) ; Z || printf (M ))M[Z]=Z[A-(E =A[J-Z])&&!C
& A == T[ A]
|6<<27<rand()||!C&!Z?J[T[E]=T[A]]=E,J[T[A]=A-Z]=A,"_.":" |"];}
I just tried to run it and all it produces is a single line and segfault:
./maze
136789
_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ ._._._._._._._._._
Segmentation fault (core dumped)The politics section list some niche use by Facebook users and ignores that it was derived from antisemitic term describing media.
Regarding batteries specifically, it should be illegal to produce any device without user-replaceable batteries. The EU is at the forefront of these initiatives[1], as usual, so hopefully this trickles out to other governments.
Batteries in EVs are also a growing problem, for both production and disposal. Hopefully we'll have similar regulations there as well.

Used batteries themselves are not that much of a problem, because most of their value is in raw minerals used to make them. Recycling them is basically the same as processing raw metal ore, except the concentration of valuable stuff is much higher than in any natural deposit.
You can get pretty far with the ESP32 Box though the built-in speaker is a bit tinny.

I've got it working with local inference though some people use it with OpenAI.
LyRa-T devkit from espressif is perfect for that. It has a two-core ESP32, i2s decoders, jack connectors and direct speaker output.
