Think of the influence that Pharma or Oil or Tech have in the US. Now imagine that the sorts of people who (while it is illegal, mind you) choose to be in the drug trade joined this cohort.

This is probably the best argument I've heard against the legalization of drugs.

I don't understand this case. Is Copilot copying code wholesale and presenting it as its own? Because if not, then it doesn't need to attribute anything more than I need to attribute John Go or Edward PHP everytime I use a trick I

Thats literally what it is. The "I" in "UI" is "Interface". What is the User Interfacing with if not the DB (with perhaps a brief layer of business logic smeared on top)?

Sure. I could also pull in axios or just bite the bullet and use the XMLHttpRequest API. The point isn't that jQuery is the only way to solve the problem, but rather that it still has a value proposition.

That's only mostly true. If you are working with anything that needs to support older browsers (which, for example, is unfortunately still a requirement in many medical, government, and financial sectors), then you can't use `fetc

Yes. Technically you could always use native JS in place of jQuery and have the same functionality. But jQuery's power came from abstracting away some of the messier and more complicated elements and giving developers a more intuitive

IMO its because the demand for ever growing growth (not only must we grow on last year (growth up 5%), but our growth must be faster (growth trajectory up 5%)) is running headlong into a shrinking economy. Anonymous users have always repres

Hourly workers (unskilled labor) are flexible and cutting hours is almost as easy to reverse as it is to do in the first place. Cutting salaried employees (skilled labor) is a much harder and expensive decision to reverse. So doing so means

Maybe they pay all the costs, but thats when there are tenants. The landlord is taking on the risk of being the one the bank will come to when a mortgage needs to be paid. And the effort of maintenance (and cost, then there are no tenants).

That doesn't answer the question. An 18 year old who has literally never worked a day in his life can not afford an apartment no matter what the price, inflated or not. Should land owners be obligated to lower the price to $0.25 so tha

The developers do not just eat the cost of building a property, they pass it on in the sale price. So yeah, landlords still end up having to deal with it, on top of the day to day maintenance.

Owning property is a longterm commitment that limits flexibility and comes with some hefty costs. Rent solves these problems. A small company thats growing might need 2000 sq/ft today and a projected 10,000 sq/ft next year. But if

What about the people who need some land to live in or use but can't afford the costs that come along with it (either purchase or maintainance)?

I suspect this would harm the motorcyclist's night-vision in a way that a car driver is not affected due to the light reflecting off the ground and right back at them. Whereas the body of the car protects the driver from the glare.

In the video it looks like one of the assistants sprays across the front of her legs, but from the side, so that a lot of strands are crossing the gap in her legs. Only then they moved around the front and started applying over these suppor

Personally I find it disrespectful to be pulled into random meetings I have no reason to be in. Or be held up in meetings that are 45 minutes longer than they need to be. "They are paying you" only goes so far. If I wanted to be p

Exactly this. The government is not granting permission, it is merely acknowledging the change of status. Something that is important for all the legal ramifications you mentioned.
