To be clear, I never endorsed any of these routes. They're all bandaids that try to make up for the intentional defunding and prisonification of our public school system. We can't solve the intentional sabotage of our educational

You're wrong. There is no wealth-tax based mass migration of the wealthy from NYC to Florida. 1) https://fiscalpolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/20251009... > As we get more data on the post-

'Some' is a meaningless non-metric. Some people do anything. Actual studies [1] show that the rich are not moving in response to wealth taxes, and in fact when they do move, it's almost never due to taxes. > As we get mo

Yep, this is the "higher taxes will drive new yorkers to florida!" fear-mongering (sometime, sadly, even by people who don't actually know better but automatically shill for companies). There are so many games (like Hitman: W

I think because if their graduation requires them to pass that course (and it's a freshman-level course), the university is basically facing a choice of, "teach them this thing", "change graduation requirements",

But are these actually completely different technologies, and if so, where is the dividing line? Firearms certainly have not decreased in significance, and they're the modern version of a bow, which is simply 2 iterations later in pr

It's funny how people talk about de-Googling their lives as a struggle, but there are only 2 things I can think of that I use them for anymore, and that's 1) gmail, and 2) google maps. It's always surprising to me when people

I don't know about you, but I can buy bows and arrows at hundreds of sporting goods stores in my local area alone, and I even know of 2 local blacksmith shops that sell swords. Castles still exist as well, you just aren't invited

In the same way that any technology could just magically disappear, sure. But I hear everyday, non-IT-sector people talking constantly about how they're using it, and that means there's a demand for it, and someone is going to s

Honestly, Apple may very well be betting that AI in it's current form is transitional, and might be better off letting others duke it out for now. We still haven't found and agreed upon the 'best' way for AI to work in a

This is very cool, and I did not know this. Thank you! I wonder if my formal university python training predated this change (~2010), or if the professors were themselves unaware of this.

I'm sure geography helps, but it's certainly not the driver for good train service design. Cities in Japan are definitely not laid out in thin lines, and there's not just a few routes in any given city. I was living in Nagoya

The missing part of their intended meaning is "skilled hackers". Unskilled hackers are everywhere, and they're bad at programming, but so are unskilled programmers.

In what world would I prefer to give someone access to me via a messaging app rather than a fully-async text SMS message? I don't even love that people can see if you've read their texts now. Fully agree about phone calls though.
