This sounds like an exaggerated claim, although it’s hard to search for this and get any meaningful results proving it or disproving it. If it were to happen with humans, you could expect it to happen with other species. Does a lion who tas

If it’s a number issued by the International Maritime Organization for life, how would you do that? You can’t make up a number, and if you use a number used by another ship you’d have to make sure that your ship matches exactly the ship re

Yup, ultimately the balance between simplicity and technical operations available will depend on one’s own specific use case. That said, for technical applications, I think it makes sense to expose as much of your features as possible in te

It’s a closed auction run on their own terms, that excludes entire classes of alternative search engines by design. A “lot of gall” is a very generous interpretation.

1a. As a bonus, offer coarse undo and granular undo (where granular undo always undoes an atomic operation, and coarse undo undoes the “multi-step” operation if applicable, to the user. You can imagine a lot of quality of life improvements

It’s a gregariousness thing. Humans like to be in groups, and modern life has strongly reduced the quantity and kind of groups we can be a part of, as well as loosened family ties which used to prime over everything else. Flat earthers aren

To pick one example amongst many, when there are articles about “12 year old does X”, there is plenty of low quality rage and noise about how valuing accomplishments based on age isn’t acceptable and so on, yet I’ve never seen such a title

Which is ironic, because I have many old relatives who used to live on farms, and they are all very attuned to the feelings of animals. They can tell when one is in pain, how to take care of it, etc. Note that it is not at odds with the fac

What you are describing is already ongoing. Many comments in eg widely shared Facebook political posts are likely to be posted by bots, or people paid to be representing a certain agenda (ie human bots). And in that light I disagree with yo

Gender studies is not science so I’m not sure how that fits into the discourse. Not to mention that it’s not even that good an example to prove anything about academia - it’s a minuscule subfield with little funding in comparison to any oth
