That is really their problem. Most users don't want to create separate accounts for each website they visit just to take part in a discussion.

Really? To me the UI only shows the down-arrow for 1 day. If the API allows downvoting for up to 1 month then automated 'revenge' downvote bots should be easy to detect.

And in same (many?) cases it's intentional, e.g. by overthrowing governments so the West has cheaper oil, gas, or bananas (Guatemala).

Sure! On the other hand, if we kill ourselves off before that happens, for example by making the planet unlivable for humans, then that chance is also gone. Getting to that level of technological advancement is a marathon, not a sprint.

When the destination is eternal, there is no rational reason to hurry there. What is a human lifetime compared to eternity? Even a trillion years is inconceivably short compared to eternity. If an afterlife exists the time where the inhabit

And yet we know that people get wrongfully convicted and executed somewhat regularly. If you truly value life highly, you must prefer life in prison over the death penalty. The risk of wrongful execution is unacceptable.

Note that `impl Foo` return types don't actually cost anything extra with regards to code-size, the compiler knows what the actual type is and there is no dynamic dispatch. Only actual generics have an impact here, and `impl` in a retu

With compression a lot of the verboseness of XML disappears. And the vast majority of the data "clogging the pipes" is video and images.

That would be absurd. Why introduce a completely new protocol with 0 hardware or software support? Who would possibly adopt this over IPv6?

Are you referring to the US, where women have no freedom to decide what happens inside their uterus and slavery is still allowed for their millions of prisoners?

The protesting farmers have been blocking highways with their tractors and lighting fires containing asbestos (also on / near highways). You could argue that the former should be allowed as part of a protest, but the latter moves you s

You are spreading a common misconception. The borrow checker takes care of exactly nothing when it comes to cleaning up resources. The borrow checker is "just" type checking, like a built-in static analysis. But it doesn't af

Sadly we'll never know how many of those civilians were killed by Israeli attack helicopters and tanks firing on their own people. Wouldn't surprise me if it was at least half of them. In which case maybe the US can also stop fund

The approach you suggest is commonly referred to as 'primitive obsession' and is considered by many (including me) to be an antipattern. Having primitives everywhere means you have to repeat validations everywhere, methods will ha

Generally (assuming a healthy weight) women float and men sink, due to women having a few percentage points more body fat. I imagine children sink as well as men though.

Clearly going to school did not help you learn the meaning of theft. If you keep repeating the same incorrect point there is no point to a discussion. First: in your opinion, which specific type of law or right is being broken or violated b

Every waking second humans are training on what they see in their surroundings, including any copyrighted works in sight. Want to compare untrained AI fairly? Compare their artistic abilities with a newborn.

Because many countries have speed limits higher than that? In the Netherlands 130 km/h is allowed (usually only at night), in Poland they have 140 km/h in some places, and in Germany there are many roads where a maximum speed of 1

I loathe the LCD screen dashboard on my new car, but it's mostly because they have a totally braindead implementation: it can either display the current speed OR the current rpm. Soooo, which one will users always have active because

Even though they didn't have a physical presence, they were in control of the territory, controlling all borders, the sea, and the air. Israel is widely considered to be an occupying force due to this control. Regardless of whether you

These "dangers" exist because Israel intentionally blurs the difference between the Jewish people and Israel so that it can cry antisemitism when there is opposition. Maybe they could just stop playing the antisemitism card, or al

So a XY person with androgen insensitivity syndrome is a man, even though they completely lack all male features (except a pair of testes hidden inside the lower abdomen) and have breasts and, in some cases, a uterus? And such a person can
