I think there is a national security aspect to ML models trained on copyrighted data. Countries that allow it will gain a superior technological advantage and outcompete those who disallow training on copyrighted material. I personally beli

I just tried the game. Let me preface this comment by saying that I think any exploration of new game techniques is always worthwhile, and, more broadly, creating anything is always positive. I have no expectation that the author of this ga

The author decries this phenomenon as a bad thing, and indeed it is from a sustainability perspective, but, as someone who owns a very old fridge, I have a slightly different perspective. Does my fridge work? Yes. Would I replace it if I co

Pizza is also one of the only foods where the profit margins make delivery actually make sense.

Due diligence would be a lot easier if you could get straight answers just by asking nicely!

I fail to see how the conclusion of your scenario is monopoly power. If anything, it seems like it would create a marketplace with more players because secret knowledge is no longer a barrier to entry.

You're allowed to voluntarily sacrifice your rights in private contracts. E.g. an NDA limits your the 1st amendment rights, but it's not unconstitutional to agree to one.

It's important if you're hiring someone to do something important and you want to verify the owners haven't been named in any other lawsuits, don't have a conflict of interest, etc.

Your “experience” (bias?) is easily falsified. Obviously memory issues happen all the time in unsafe languages, but even then, not nearly at the frequency that a novice Rust user will conflict with the borrow checker. The article we’re co

My reading is that the “right to exist” applies to the species as a whole, not individual animals.

Why have parameters at all if they're not meant to be used? I don't really buy the argument that you're allowed to use parameters for small things but not for large things. Personally, I prefer if sites give me a local-only o

Convenience always wins. Reusable containers are not more convenient than disposable paper, therefore it's unlikely to be successful. That and "slow moving, very conservative in terms of traffic" sound like a miserable thing

Did you actually look at that list? Most have under 1,000,000 in population. Many even have less than 100,000. There are only a handful of cities on the list comparable to NYC. It’s also worth noting that Manhattan would be 9 on the list, i

This would make sense if the population growth was increasing but at a slower rate. But, the population is actively declining. Somehow, 5.3% of people went from having housing to leaving, so I don’t think housing is the only story here.

I don’t think you can automatically classify addiction as disease. It can be a disease, but it can also be a compulsion that a “sufferer” chooses to partake in. There is an implicit assumption in your argument that all drug addicts would

We (as a society) consider addicts personally responsible for their actions. For instance, if an alcoholic drives drunk and kills someone, we don't say "oh they're an alcoholic and therefore not responsible for what happened.

The slope of the increase for democrats also appears steeper than the slope for republicans as wealth increases past 100k. So the graph's title "richer people are increasingly republican" doesn't seem accurate either. Th

Yes, completely agree. A colleague left a PR hanging one day. A customer wrote the next day saying the missing functionality that would have been fulfilled by that PR wasted an hour of their time last night.

What if you're not working on a bug? If you're proficient, you should be able to measure the amount of work left in something so that it's "easily finish-able in the morning."

I’m not even sure the economics make sense. Like if I buy toilet paper, I just want to buy as much as possible and not have to worry about it. Same with other staples. Costco delivers bulk goods with excellent quality at a good price. I’m n

The recipe itself isn’t protected by copyright but the rest of a cookbook is. E.g. their writings about the recipe and the photography. Usage of one’s likeness is also subject to protection. E.g. you can’t market a cookbook on Amazon as Ina

Another totally plausible explanation is that CPI massively underreports inflation. Productivity is inflation adjusted. If you have 10% inflation but report it as 5%, then it will appear that you’ve gained 5% productivity when you haven’t.
