Not OP but it is unberably slow. It took 9 seconds acording ot firefox for it to stop making network requests. That is me opening reddit.com without doing anything. Then another 3 seconds for me to click a link and have it load the new page

Things that you have watched, things you want to watch. Movie ratings (although these seem to be going away more and more). Lots of data.

For the love of all that is holy let us split our netflix account out! My user is on my brothers account from when we lived together a long time ago. Every year I check to see if there is a way to split the user out. Every year I remain dis

As far as I know this doesn't actually work, because Amazon will comingle goods. That is to say you buy good from A. The warehouse closest to you has the same "item" but it is from B. So they ship you B's item, but mark

Which toilet (if any) I use is political. Being dressed as myself is a political statement. My right to have documentation that matches me is political. Whether or not I can be fired for being myself is political. So since one side has deci

What does biology have to do with what I wrote? If someone says call me Pete and you then insist on calling them Sam, you are being a jerk. Also “write neutrally” tends to not actually be written neutrally. “Guys” being one of the common ex

Thanks. I do appreciate the details, and the discussion around this. As I said I don't know what Monica said so I'm trying to reserve judgement, but I am sceptical because of how I've seen many of these arguments play out. I

I really wish more details about this was available. > it seems that SE is unwilling to protect trans moderators from vitriol by other mods. Reading Monica's post made me pretty sure this was trans related. I'm sad that I was r

Do they have superior perspectives? No, but they have different perspectives. Additionally minority groups tend to be aware of majority problems, points of views, etc; while the inverse is generally not true. That is to say a black man gene

There is a very big difference between voting for a representative to represent you, and some people being worth 4x another.

That is called the senate. There is no reason that a person in Wyoming's vote is worth four times as much as a person in California. You can sorta maybe make the argument that the elctoral college should be to make sure someone unfit s

The stereotype goes that the Dutch have forgotten more about hydraulic engineering than other countries have ever known. There is a grain of truth in this. If he wants to continue his current work then the Netherlands is one of the best pla

Google is pretty notorious for this. It is one of the reasons behind the old golang GOPATH setup, and one of the reasons it took so long for the Go taking so long to get modules.

And banks, and large rental companies, and credit lenders, and Amazon, and Facebook, and Google, and so many other people. So many of which easily encapsulate their biases into their algorithms, which then perpetuate the biases into society

We had transcoding as early as 2011. As that is when I made my first commits to the video jobs codebase, specifically to the transcoding jobs. It was quite late when we had the resources ($$$) to provide widespread availability of transcode

No we never had Elementals. In the early days there was no way we could afford them. In the later days I don't think we would want them as we needed to scale so many transcode jobs that it was easier to have a large farm of dumb machin

The world doesn't change overnight. To do things like transition ICE to Electric you have to take time to do allow companies to ramp up production, research, and put into place transition plans. ICE vehicles have lots of externalised c

Why is everything virtue signalling? Maybe these things are to force the conversation to shift. If it proves unteneable we can extend deadlines etc. These bans are causing companies to take non-ice vehicles more seriously. It is making citi

Because the models these games use is not sustainable for all games. Sports games have several things going for them that normal games don't. Like being simulations of the real world, so as players move, etc then the game gets updated.

AI is used to make decisions. It impacts every part of our lives. It encodes the biases of its creators into. How does that not affect LGBT folk? When AI starts being used t decide who to hire or if someone should be offered a rental then w

You could also rent a game from Blockbuster, and clone it. I know folks who did this. I don’t really know if more was involved as it was a bit before my time.

Such rubbish. For starters children are not given hormones. At least not in the US, Canada, or Britain. They socially transition, change their name, change their clothing, etc. If they are lucky a doctor will consent to giving them hormone
