Strange agenda here. This conversation isn't about those things, and isn't about censorship.

Short term rentals have really made the housing crisis worse. I have boycotted them entirely, but it's a drop in the ocean.

Digital devices can absolutely intermittently function if voltages are outside a stable range in certain places. The point was that if you encounter frequent abnormal errors with your computer, you rarely begin with boosting every one of th

No one is claiming that their speculative models and hypotheses are "truth". Before sufficient evidence is available, you start with a model and a hypothesis, which drives the search for evidence. Then it becomes falsifiable once

Autistic as an identity and autism as a disease are different things that are difficult to uncouple. Similarly to obesity, it's difficult to talk about the health aspect without people being sensitive about the identity aspect. I find

Lots of carbs make me fall asleep and kill my motivation. My lunches at work are light and carb-free for that reason.

I think most people understand that disease nomenclature changes rapidly. Even if the word "autism" is deprecated in the future and replaced by a litany of other terms for conditions, the research is still useful and interesting.

The growth in power of megacorporations has been coined a new type of feudalism, so dark ages might not be a bad description.

When you put it this way, it seems more reasonable. Obviously you shouldn't reward or validate tantrums. At the same time, however, empathy is an easy way to acknowledge misplaced emotional reactions without encouraging them. Meeting a

In physical UI our group calls this the Microwave Problem. No one uses the 20 extra buttons on the microwave, they mostly just use one or two buttons. But no one will buy a microwave with few buttons.

I didn't qualify to use the site, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. Everyone agrees that doing taxes should be free and easy, like nearly every other country...

I think a device which outputs a distribution of answers is still a computer. The information is an answer and needs to be computed. Determinism and repeatability isn't a requirement for defining computation.

I think it might be a leap to assume first gen and Pell students are low performers or likely to drop out. Is there anything to back that up? It'd be just as easy to argue that they perform better because there's more at stake com

I suppose this is the antithesis of "legacy schools", whose practices of prioritizing children of former students serves to maintain and preserve privilege structures instead of disrupt them.

Another point overlooked is that the main focus of the article cites fewer people per household, then discounts things like AirB&B, which directly contributes to this statistic. It seems like a casual dismissal of the statistic, paintin

I've found this to be generally true. Engineers are passionate and intelligent people, but frequently make the mistake of thinking this means they are experts in everything.

Digging more into other internet discussions, a lot of people disagree about the usage. Many believe it's fine to use compute as a noun since it's a truncation of compute resources or compute nodes. Seems like an industry shibbole

Okay I gotta be honest, and maybe I'm a little ignorant, but when did we start saying compute instead of computation? I feel like I went away on vacation and missed out on an in-joke. Should I be saying compute instead?
