I'll allow it.


After seeing Grok trying to turn every conversation into the plight of white South African farmers, it was extremely obvious that someone was ordered to do so, and ended up doing it in a heavy-handed and obvious way.


Or Grok just has just spent too much time on Twitter.


There's also a good case for geothermal plants at these sites, if the geology permits it. There has been a good deal of development, and more sites are usable.


Writing top to bottom, and even left to right has/had advantages for mostly right-handed writers to avoid moving your hand over and smudging previously written text.


Writing top-to-bottom has advantages for all writers whose eyes are above their hands. The bit of the writing surface that's blocked by your hand hasn't been written on yet.


Extending that, heads have a much easier time moving left and right than up and down, since the motion uses the pivot joints. So, that means rastering left to right, then top to bottom, is the best match to the average reading and writing human (since right handedness is the dominant genetic trait [1]).

How would top-to-bottom benefit right-handed writers any more than left-handed ones?


Top to bottom advantages everyone. Left to right advantages the right-handed. Right handed being the majority, top to bottom and left to right wins in almost every writing system.


And why would that make the top better than the bottom anyway? That's like saying the meal is worse after you finish it.


Because your arm doesn't cover the text as you are writing.


Because of Primacy Bias.

I have very little sympathy for the idea of NOT storing user data is some sort of onerous regulatory burden.

Just stop collecting it

The EU bureaucracy machine can be slow moving, but has the potential to fix this. The stricter the rules, the simpler the implementation. You could cut a LOT of the administrative burden by specifying what data is allowed to be stored at all, instead of what isn't.

Big tech needs to be put in their place, and as others have commented; if this kills your business model, your business model doesn't deserve to exist.


Much like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is nominally democratic.


Corner to corner with their hinge opened to 180°


There have been plenty of pictures of older landing sites. Most of those people have a part of their identity tied up in contrarian ideas, and would find a way to call it fake, even if you personally flew them up to the landing sites to have a look.
