The American College of Pediatricians are basically a fraud. It's a conservative abstinence/anti-LGTB advocacy group hoping you confuse it with the (legitimate) American Academy of Pediatrics.

How do other companies come into play if you buy a car and are suddenly told 6 months later that you need to pay up or they will disable the heated seats you got?

Yes, my point was that that person having a position where they are able to do that is already wrong. If a car salesman was telling every woman that came in they should get an abortion, there are places that person should be, and none of th

If someone doesn't have the skills to parse text programmatically, the situation can often be something like "a Word table of names in a 4-wide grid with random missing fields, spanning three different pages, one of which is no lo

I think these are valid concerns, but I would also say that there is an underlying issue with medical malpractice and disregard for the suffering and needs of certain groups of society which we tend to brush under the rug. I'm going to

I guess the phone company is more likely to see if they reassigned it, but Skype might not need to notify them/might have stopped doing that at some point.

In many countries that'll be ~0/10.

I meant that "Cultures and systems might change in the future" is the current/proposed state, and "All future dates beyond the current year are currently unknown" is unreasonable.

That's what the end of my last comment was trying to touch on - timestamps are always imperfect for certain edge cases, but I would say that scheduling radio telescope time probably doesn't meaningfully benefit from trying to latc

Before that observation (and importing that event into your application!), is it not semi-arbitrary, as far as the code is concerned? A fully defined point in the future (currently) corresponds 1:1 to a unix time, or a timestamp from this R

I don't know about other places, but here there's no bank that will turn that slip of paper into real money. I've never even seen a cheque or chequebook in person, it's almost exclusively mentioned by Americans (In my ex

You are severely underestimating 3D printed firearms, unless you are saying it must be entirely, 100% 3D printed. PSR on YouTube is an interesting channel to skim through.

As an anecdatapoint, I have replaced the button with a redirect to Google maps. It's not worth trying to extract value from the Kagi one, I probably gave it a chance ~20 times and I don't think it did what I needed a single one. (

If I had to respect the basic human rights of my LLM backends, it would probably be less appealing - but "Unlimited free smart-for-being-braindead zombies" might be a little more useful, at least?

Not at all, but I would absolutely argue pretty much all instances of "List of single-sentence heavily polarised and editorialised talking points" are. You're not looking to engage in a good-faith discussion by throwing out a

That entire paragraph is mostly a strawman, or, if you're feeling charitable, coming from an extremely surface-level awareness of the actual issues they're talking about.

pCloud will sell you "lifetime" cloud storage - current price for 2TB is 400eur, but they do black Friday/such sales too.

Honestly, it looks like it would take pretty minimal effort to just enable SSO yourself. It's not like they can do anything to stop you, right?

It seems to do pretty well with zsh, go, python, and rust when I use it. Even for more complex tasks - but "context-aware universal snippets/boilerplate suggestion" already sounds pretty valuable, doesn't it?

It's somewhere around $3.5/1k streams - you're not exactly super far off their estimate either, though. It varies a bit based on (listener, or artist?) regions too, I believe.

I'd say that is more about hip-hop, really. (And a couple of names that aren't exactly the most relevant to this decade)

People born just after the war in Europe and North America had pretty different degrees of prosperity and struggles to rebuild around them. I just don't think the American sense of the word quite makes sense here.

I meant more in the sense that if you're creating an open source project, especially one with serious security implications, you should be extremely aware that you have a dependency that a single individual can update with minimal over
