I have a different opinion of Twitter than you do, but that’s not actually the case I was making. I was pointing out that Twitter’s terms of service were modified to be less aggressive about calls for violence. If you’re correct and Twitter

It is not easy to commit seven hours to a single movie; for me, Sátántangó was worth it. Warm up on Werckmeister Harmonies which is a short two hours since Bela Tarr isn't and doesn't need to be for everyone. That said, Sátántangó

I can’t help but notice that Twitter and TikTok didn’t get called for that session. In November 2023, Twitter went from a zero tolerance policy for violent speech to “we may remove or reduce the visibility of violent speech.” Seems really r

I think maybe one other lesson, although I certainly agree with yours, and with the other commenters who talk about the unreliability of this particular method? This feels like an argument for using an editor that autosaves history. "D

Yeah, this is both true and tricky. My belief is that the original sin was politicizing the question soon after the beginning of the pandemic; both the Chinese and US governments are at fault here (destroying all the raccoon dogs seems like

I tend to agree with this, although I’ll note that I don’t equate revolution with violence. Often but not always, and Sensei sure has weapons at hand, for whatever that’s worth.

Loved the Thunderscan back in the day. In college I worked at a little computer store in Harvard Square that didn’t bother to stock real scanners — students who could afford them had better places to buy gear. One day this nice guy came in

To be fair, that’s McHayle’s stage name too. Regardless, I think it’s a fair observation that French 75 is cartoonish at times. This is not a movie about how great revolutionaries are, although it is a movie about how necessary they are. PT

I think you’re mistaking the review for the movie. The review is written for people with that deep context and with an interest in peeling back all the layers PTA put in his movie. The movie itself works well as an action movie, and works v

One small note -- what got you an interview before 2020 will often not get you an interview now. The market (as you obviously know) is much tougher. The last two managerial roles I've opened have gotten literally thousands of applicati

Yes. I agree that many of the announced and currently shipping features should be just fine from a security perspective with only a local agent.

I think the "local results" assumption is not completely accurate. This line: "You tell Gemini in Chrome what you want to get done, and it acts on web pages on your behalf, while you focus on other things" implies that t

Ah! Fair enough and thanks again for a great comment from an informed position.

My wife worked in an aerospace museum for quite some time; I've heard a lot of similar stories.

by BryantD 1y ago
Good feedback. I wouldn't put "taking care" in quotes, however; my wife is a former museum worker and has graduate degrees in the field, and preservation is a key part of the role. Exhibits aren't just for the now, they&

Yes. When I say tag, I mean specifically "small town sheriff" as a tag. Saying "small town sheriff" is technically inaccurate but understandable in context.

by BryantD 1y ago
It's an American English idiom -- "small town" as a synonym for remote rural areas. Not incredibly common but not unusual. It shows up as a tag in TMDB (movie database) and Goodreads, and I believe there's at least one r

You know, you’re right and I totally missed the point. If we want to assess the chances of a US intervention in Latin America producing good results, we should probably include the results of Operation Condor in our analysis.

I would not say that Venezuela is currently having orderly rotations of power. Since the 2015 parliamentary elections, we've seen at least one constitutional crisis and the most recent election results are disputed. I do not particular

Only as a percentage of GDP. Pandemic recovery was not cheap. However, yes, Biden and/or his economic advisors did a pretty good job of managing the economy.

I went to a Waldorf school and I’d recommend being really wary. The woo is sort of background noise, and if you’ve raised your kid well they’ll be fine. But the quality of the academics may not be good at all. For example, when I was ready

It is slightly worse than that. The provision was changed by Republicans… but set to kick in after Trump’s first term, so the negative effects landed on Biden. Now that Trump’s back in office, it’s safe to improve the economy again without

I tend to agree here, with the caveat that the prompt doesn’t just say “consider multiple sources.” It says that subjective opinions from media should be considered biased, while giving a pass to other subjective opinions. Also media is lef
