This article stinks of that assertion/misunderstanding that "Tolerant of all but the intolerant" is a paradox or contradiction. It's not. It's a social contract and if you violate it you are no longer covered or pro

Yes, there are some vendors starting to block these. I can confirm it works with ATT Internet w/ the discount. I don't see why you couldn't use it for their other services too, but AT&T is such a shit company I'm fra

In theory, yes. In practice, no. Just look at marijuana and abortion laws for two different prime examples of how supposed federal law superseding "lower" law can play out in ways that circumvent the nature of that power structure

Err, what? Keyword there: "New". SpaceX still faces large costs and delays in developing new launch vehicles, including starship, which is delayed and unfinished btw, so no matter how you try to spin it, Starship is not (currently

Correct. These are not mutually exclusive positions, and furthermore, this isn't so much to do with languages necessarily, it can be written in brainfuck or use some obscure compiler for all I care. The issue is fragmenting tools betwe

Both HN and LinkedIn have moderators that do just that, they're not algorithms. LinkedIn sucks imo, but to claim that either but especially HN is unmoderated or has no moderators is certainly untrue.

Yes, like any technology, it takes time and real-world use to mature it. As it stands right now, EV's are NOT up to the task of replacing Combustion Engines full stop, even in the light commercial/consumer car markets. Are they im
