What a shock you are getting downvoted - not sure why, other than you are challenging people’s cherished dogma. Which is exactly why if Elon can forced moderation to at least be transparent and consistent, and not purely through the lens

What an utter joy you must be to live with. The utter lack of any sense of humor is something I seriously hope Elon can continue to reverse. People seriously need to get over themselves and stop seeking out infinite ways to be offended. L

The board barely owns any stock, and all collect a pretty healthy salary for basically doing nothing. I think I saw Elon tweet eliminating the board would save $3M a year and looking at the chart of board members and their payments it seem

Bingo. Google and everyone else makes money on volume, not quality of content. They don’t care if the majority of the volume of content is garbage as long as they get their clicks/impressions on ads.

Indeed - if he brings back neutrality to their “content moderation” I would even be willing to pay, especially if it came with extra tools to filter out the bots and other nuisance content - i.e. pay for the blue checkmark and be able to re

I think that's a common problem for most games - at least it is for me. The cool thing about Dyson Sphere Program is there is so much to do in it, you can create your own end game scenarios. Also just because the blueprints are there,

Ugh - this makes much more sense than the "modern" grammar based approaches. Heck I might have a few more languages under my belt had I known this was even a thing! Time to do some more digging!

Success is not altruistic? You're typing on a computer attached to the Internet. Sounds suspiciously privileged.

How is enabling someone to speak "in the guise of"? Isn't it literally enabling free speech?

A good compromise is having a low level of steady light, but when there is motion increasing the brightness. It won't work for every situation - the constant up/down would be more annoying on a busy road, but we had a building wit

LED headlight arrays are far more effective at eliminating spill over than HID or halogen lights. My parents have a 2019 Acura RDX and the lighting on it is very precise and much lower than the previous cars they or I have owned. Being ab

I have a dark parking lot at a church that needs at least some lighting - it's a serious safety issue as that congregation is heavily weighted with seniors. Traditional lighting is often overkill/way harsher than it needs to be.

Because being able to differentiate uniquely different offerings by different designations is only of value to marketers? There are differences that warranted the incrementing of the numbering - mainly the vastly superior USB-C connector ov

If you don't want to do endless drone work (who would?!?) then why would you stay at that job? I've never stayed at an unfulfilling job - how pointless. I've made a point to network outside my immediate group - and most impo

It still boggles my mind that input sanitization/validation hasn't gotten a formal discipline around it. It's boring and tedious, yet crucial.

Welcome to human nature. One of the reasons anyone who thinks socialism is a realistic strategy just is't with reality.

Yeah, no thanks. Water is an awesome solvent and long term effects of these things are always worse than expected.

I love articles like this - it's easy to think of ancient peoples as being dumb, but I'm always amused when you come across stuff like this and find there is more in common with them than we often think.

Where are you going to get these deep cavities? Where do you do pumped hyrdo in Las Vegas or Phoenix? Lots of solar, no economical way to store the excess right now. You list lots of technologies that are "mature" - but maturity

That's not entirely true - agencies get sued and loose lawsuits all the time. It would be accurate to say that while most people working for government don't have immunity, it's pretty rare for them to get affected personall

Don't charge. Your thinking in normal terms. They don't care about charges or fines because they don't create money in the first place. If you want to hit a government agency where it hurts, cut their budget by the amount

"they should have to pay" - who is "they" in your postulation? Government doesn't create anything; it's funded by confiscation of wealth from its citizens (also known by the cuter and more acceptable term: tax

Modern file systems address all of that and more - without the added complexity of a whole freaking RDBMS system! If you are going to change an application it makes far more sense to just update it to leverage the features of a modern file
