The average person is slightly more female than male and has 2.1 children, but they do benefit from defense contracts since it makes up a small percentage of their salary.

'readSync' does two different things - tells the OS we want to read some data and then waits for the data to be ready. In a good API design, you should exposed functions that each do one thing and can easily be composed together.

They don't want the appearance of tampering. They don't really care about tampering itself because they make their money either way. So as long as you are subtle about it they won't even investigate, as a public investigati

I can't wait for the day that killing a human-any human-is considered a war crime.

The GDPR is vague and unworkable as written. It fundamentally restricts all data processing with a few, vague exceptions. What is data processing essential for the services being provided? Many publishers assumed that getting paid was an es

Agreed. I've been on the market for a new car to replace my aging Prius for for the past three years. All of my top choices are "not sold in the US". I don't need a giant fricken SUV to go to work. I don't need 400

FYI: Gemini Cli is used internally at Google. It's actually more popular than Antigravity. Google uses MCP services internally for code search (since everything is in a mono-repo you don't want to waste time grepping billions of

No other country is quite as heterogeneous as the US. And there is a significant history in the US of using restrictions around voting to disenfranchise certain ethnicities. That makes any restriction around voting a sensitive topic in the

Depends on what qualifies as an ID and how hard it is to get one. But unless you're actively providing them to people that need them with no extra work or travel on their part then you're going to be discriminating against people

So we replace an OS owned by a search engine (Google) with an OS owned by a search engine (Murena)? You're going to need to give me more details than that before I consider switching.

API keys were always secrets. They control billing for heaven's sake. If you had any per-call billed APIs (like some of the voice processing APIs) enabled on the project then they're effectively keys to your pocket book. Otherwis

Where is this "90% less demand for SWEs" going to come from? Are we going to run out software to write? Historically when SWEs became more efficient then we just started making more complicated software (and SWE demand actually in

I think you could build a product with it, but you need to carefully specify the design first. The same amount of actual engineering work needs to go in, but the AI can handle the overhead of implementing small pieces and connecting them

Unless you're in a dense urban area, the effect of your air conditioners on neighboring houses is negligible. There's so much other thermal reservoirs around (like the ground and plants) as well as circulation from the wind that t

It happens often enough that the company I work for has set up a presubmit to check all of the AI generated and AI assisted code for plagiarism (which they call "recitation"). I know they're checking the code for similarity t

I don't know, 10 years seems reasonable for development. There's not that much new technology that needs to be developed. Cooling and communications would just require minor changes to existing designs. Other systems may be able t

Funny, I would have included transportation as part of the installation cost. You didn't mention that one.

Investment real estate ruined the housing market. All of a sudden housing prices are expected to grow year over year as an investment. As more and more growth expectations were applied to housing, public policy (including zoning) changed to

Are you disagreeing with the parent post or agreeing with them? I first read your comment as if it was disagreeing with them but then noticed the parenthetical "(as well as US bond holders)" in your comment, which seems to support

One mistake that the article seems to make is to assume that the data center is in one huge satellite. I think a better model would be a fleet of rack or server level satellites. That significantly reduces the heat and cooling requirements

It doesn't help that new builds seem to focus on the high end for housing (because that is where the profit is). If we keep building more expensive housing it shouldn't be surprising that the average cost of housing increases.

To be fair, in that particular instance they were only welding the back door . They left the front door alone so that people could go out (at their assigned days and times). They got rid of the back door to make it so that community enforc

There's no law yet. But people in power seem highly in favor of it. Pete Hegseth seems to think women shouldn't be able to vote ( https://19thnews.org/2025/08/pete-hegseth-doug-wilson-women-... ) and he w

That's exactly right. For a long time people of color were relegated to lower paying jobs and faced higher police scrutiny. Similarly, less than a century ago women were practically property - unable to even get a bank account without

Would you consider skilled labor to be a common resource? If so, how would you suggest taxing it?
