I am confused by step 5. A. Why define the goal after identifying the solution? Or does define the goal mean identify a stopping point for step 4, in which case you must first define the solution? B. Isn't the goal explicit in a clear

With paid services, Google generally does not collect. Or at least you can opt out of collection, email scanning, etc.

Generally it is true that I don't want to listen to the rambling autobiography of inkind people.

Do you have any evidence of this? The video expose that kicked off this firestorm said that if you don't actively connect to the internet, then the system is largely inert.

Okay. I'll accept the premise that she was principally an autobiographer through film reviews. But when she was, as the author notes, not a kind or good person, why consume her autobiography?

Was it that a big, giant, horrible wasteland because it was undeveloped? That is, was there something bad about it other than being undeveloped? Personally, I love living in the city AND land in its natural state. Also, GP was quoting a son

Could this post been equally effective without the history literacy since the early middle age? I recognize the irony of complaining about this post's length.

I appreciate the attempt to be gender neutral, but it turns out that Latinos themselves generally do not prefer the term Latinx. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx

There is no cost to Tracer.ai for false positives. There is a cost to them for false negatives, if only just lost revenue. The beatings will persist until morale improves.

I'm not informed enough to know if what I'm asking is ludicrous. Why does Cloudfare, Amazon, or some other hyperscaler ever build custom chips for running JavaScript. They could build in mitigations for these kind of shared resour

It's an ad hominem attack, I know, but why am I not surprised that the Economist loves this? True or not, it supports a narrative of "kids these days...", of a morally bankrupt educational system, of indulgent adults spoiling

So then you outlaw that, too. It is an idea with merit to be refined not rejected outright because you found the one flaw. Under the current system, the wealthy can speed themsleves and pay small fines.

This point is very useful to me. I consider myself a pretty good engineer and a not so good entrepreneur. Maybe I'm not so good at it because I find it far more interesting to think every detail of PKCE, something only tangentially re

By my analogy, I meant that the author has chosen a hard road. They can be steadfast in their belief (one with which I am sympathetic), but the proof is all around them that things will not get better.

> Will my kids be an ethnic minority in their own country in the next generation - and if so, what's that going to be like for them? What about this is an essential concern for you? Like, what are the potential harms?

That is an indisputably rough list, and I'm sorry that's your conclusion. It's tough being here and feeling powerless to stop it. Beyond voting, campaign donations, judicious choice of employment, etc. Anyhow, you're we

I'm confused by the US conservatives' full court press for fossil fuels and against wind/solar. I believe it's mostly about protecting existing money/power structures, but I don't really know. I mean, where doe

I urge people to not read this. Once you do, you will see all documentation will as the flawed and confusing mess it is. Ignorance is bliss!

Where does it stop? Should it include edits with a digital camera? What about black and white? I'm not trolling. I'm thinking about how you practically define what you are proposing to regulate.

Having made training videos, doing a voice recording is a huge pain in the ass. So easy to flub and have to edit or re-record. Hard to maintain even pace. I haven't tried AI generated voices, but doing it manually is difficult.

I console myself that this is why I never got fabulously wealthy. That brilliance is no guarantee of wealth. You need luck, too. But the truth is, you also need to do the work. I used my conclusion about luck as an excuse to not even try. N

Yes! This is how you do humor. Demand precision. Dissect all the things!
