There's no philosophical dilemma here. Each participant in the conflict is using the tools at their disposal to get what they want. The protestors want change from the company. So they protest. The company wants to shut them up. So the

A fair interpretation, but consider the work the artist is known for: https://www.maggioregam.com/artists/42-alberto-burri/biograp... Did he see the disaster as an opportunity to ply his trade at an even greater s

There's lots I find objectionable about our built environment, but at least it has a purpose. Between butchering an animal for food, vs doing it for fun, this artwork is the latter.

I find it grotesque. It could have been a park, a farm, a forest. It could have been left as an interesting ruin for humans to explore and nature to reclaim. But in the name of some selfish artistic vision, this person built a vast concrete

Herculaneum, where these scrolls are from, is 75% unexcavated! And it will likely remain this way for some time, as Naples sits right on top of it.

You named all of them - jank, a new language, and crucially, long-term support from Google, who are so untrustworthy in that regard that it's turned into a meme.

Every tech has abandoned repos, especially popular ones. As React Native matured in the past few years, the community developed improved solutions to common problems, and many older stop-gaps were rendered obsolete. Perhaps that's what

To add: Quebec police infiltrated a peaceful protest while wearing face masks and carrying rocks. In this case the protestors picked up the ruse and kicked them out. Of course they claim they weren't trying to instigate anything. http

The comment speaks for itself: "I think he approaches it the wrong way," and the only problem is the ambiguous 6/9. If there's something else you intended to say, I'd love to see a clarification.

I disagree with the way these behaviors are portrayed as a cultural dichotomy. To me, the author's examples all fall under ineffective communication. Their example of "ask culture" involves stoking resentment by making unreas

In post-mortems involving pilot error, what strikes me is that airliner cockpit design sounds so convoluted, unintuitive, and just plain bad . The burden of disentangling this bad design is always placed on the pilots - through extensive t

The claimed maximum altitude on previous flights was 87.2 km. There are arguments for and against calling that "space", especially since the vehicle isn't designed for orbit. Either way it's an achievement, and I don
