The problem is that the domestic cat has literally been domesticated and isn’t really intended to live in the wild. Wild cats already exist in the wild. The problem there is we’re killing them through deforestation and poaching.

By nearly every measure Twitter is doing a lot worse than it was before those people were fired. It was growing in revenues and profit and since then has shrunk drastically in both measures. Now one could reasonably argue that it wasn’t due

Unfortunately political messages have an exception in the laws involved here. Also, my understanding is that this isn’t even a case of the politicians making an exception for themselves but for this being protected speech, so there are lega

Purely logically that means nothing. It’s like saying “John refused to do chemotherapy yesterday and he’s still alive today”. Yeah, he had some improvement. That doesn’t mean anything about whether or not a certain action would have led to

Web components are lacking some basic functionality that makes using them in something complex difficult. For example, one of the deal breakers we faced was the inability to unload and reload a web component. Once you load a web component y

The answer is funding. USCIS needs to be fully self reliant on funding, a restriction not placed on any other agency from what I know. Congress passed a bill a couple of years ago increasing the fees of several kinds of applications allowin

There is no logically consistent world in which “Gambling is a part of a free society” and “Gambling advertisements…Don’t let it happen”. If you’re taking a libertarian, its part of a free society therefore we are helpless and must allow it

It’s also a ridiculous argument for anyone in the open source community, or anyone who has benefited from the open source community to pay even a moment’s attention to. It basically invalidates every open source licence because it’s essenti

Considering Uber’s stated, implicit and possibly legal goal is to maximize their profits, why do you believe they are choosing to not maximize profits in these situations?

Yes, you seem to have the argument backwards. The argument isn’t that “turning off saving revision data” is terrible. That’s not the problem or the argument. The argument is that private equity will use open source, maximize profits from th

It is obviously the increase in those who haven’t checked boxes. There have been so many articles about this and nearly every article has a comment from an Asian student saying they work to ensure their essays don’t reveal their race. Clear

One can agree that illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be stemmed. But where’s the fun in that. The real fun lies in dehumanizing the illegal immigrants so one can hopefully start a pogrom against them. Now that’s fun!

The internet was quite mainstream in the 90s and 2000s. The problem with the internet today is it’s a bunch of disconnected privately owned silos.
