That’s all and great, but as a user I simply don’t care. It’s like asking users to care about HTTP/2 or HTTP/3. Theoretically it matters, but in practice the only thing I care is that I can actually browse the web on my phone. And

Perhaps we could stop dismantling the domestic economy by implementing policies that reward domestic investment? Huge swaths [0] of the country are losing their livelihoods due to offshoring and monopolistic practices. [0] https:/&#x2

Honestly are you really surprised? It's been going on for almost 40 years. Any exec saying they're surprised by this is disingenous at best, and lying at worst. If an exec sees a 40 year long pattern and decides to continue workin

How is freedom of the press a fundamental right? That is a uniquely American idea. Looking at Australia, allowing foreign companies (Newscorp) free reign over the press can have incredibly negative consequences.

Yes because everyone is rich and can choose not to work, so let's force immunocompromised Americans to go back to work. Excellent idea.

If 4/5 Americans cannot stay afloat 1 month on their own then yes, it is a big problem. If someone gets into an accident, or has a medical issue, or suddenly loses their job, it puts them into the same position. I think we should arriv

The simplest solution would be to charge a fair price for water since the vast majority of water is used for farming. But since most corporate farms have multi-decade long water contracts, this isn't possible (aka you must legislate, w

I've gotten by using a templating engine like Handlebars along with jQuery for async behavior for pretty much all of my apps. Reduced the time I spent building UIs a huge amount. There are actually very few websites that 'require&

I'm reading your comment as "Companies ought to have no morals, except in cases where required by law, because there are no common morals" I'm going to take a couple assumption about your political stance and try to expl

I live in Seattle and think that this tax was a joke. Seattle/King County has spent $700M+ on this issue over the last ten years with 0 results. They have given no reason to pour money into dysfunctional programs.

I think you're contriving viewpoints that simply aren't there. Nobody is talking about Trump, rather people are enjoying the irony of the US being one of the countries that subsidizes the most yet complaining about other countries

I totally agree with you. Parent comment is completely unreasonable in rallying against parts of another culture that he believes stupid. We must be inclusive of all parts of every culture because each culture has a very different lens, and

Sources? I'd love to read about the analyses done on this topic. Most of the papers I've read have suggested the opposite conclusion that you're claiming.

No it's like buying a truck for your business and being upset when it can't tow its advertised load.

Don't think the intent of my question was communicated clearly. Let's try again. From your original post: > The only reason this is exaggerated as a "data breech" is because of the connection to the Trump campaign. Yo

Can you explain why it's unethical to hold people accountable for their actions or actions others took on their behalf?

To shed some light on why they won, they chose a character (Shadow Fiend) that heavily relies on tight timings to execute moves. Naturally, AIs beat humans in events where timing is the key differentiator. Even so it’s quite impressive

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Taking advantage of others (such as lobbying for loopholes) falls under the umbrella. Just because you can dump industrial waste into a river doesn't mean you should. Just because you

That's a terrible argument. Even in the 1600s where indentured servitude was commonplace, the system was essentially slavery, with comparable death rates. Hell America had a rebellion because of white slavery - Bacon's rebellion.

You're niche. Most people don't care as long as their phone is fast and they can use their phone all day. By the time a phone's battery becomes unusably short (my iPhone 4s still holds a charge for about a full day), most peo
