Democrats have instituted independent redistricting commissions, finance transparency laws, the popular vote compact, and many others. Do not imply that both parties are the same on this. That is factually incorrect and Democrats have repe

I mean, sure, but the objective truth is that we SHOULD fear and distrust human beings driving cars faster than about 10mph. We're not good at it. It doesn't really fit our reaction times, it doesn't really fit our attention

Cursor is a small team, MS is a titanic enterprise. I highly doubt that Cursor could exceed MS when their entire product is built on VSCode in the first place and they can't even seem to describe their usage policies to their paying u

Yes but in this case, the dude in question was uncritically parroting Russian propaganda - as do most people on RT, since that's its purpose.

Gas consumption is inelastic in the short term, but everything is elastic in the long term. If you want proof of this, just look at what happens to sales of large vs small cars when the price of gas changes.

Chrome is wildly popular because it's a GOOD BROWSER. Google's search and ad monopoly do not matter; people loved the browser because it was fast, minimalist, bundled flash and PDF readers, and had great support for adblockers. M

If OP's opinions on Israel include it having a right to exist, a leftie group would absolutely throw him out. Unfortunately most people seem allergic to nuance on this topic, which really sucks for both Palestinians and Israelis.

Sure, but you didn't need more than a few engineers for a CRUD app anyways. The problem with building a useful business is that CRUD generally is not enough, and the actual value-add is something novel that an LLM will choke on since
