Everyone thinks their thoughts are their own. Most people are wrong. That's the nature of being social creatures.

Well, obviously it's not just a US centric viewpoint. It's Chinese also.

I think the point is they say even when it's not beta, it still won't be the real thing, i.e. released version is still level 2. "FSD" is purely marketing.

That's an entirely circular argument and doesn't prove anything about Uncle Bob. Question: Why should I listen to Uncle Bob? Answer: Because he wrote a book telling you what to do. He's got some un-controversially good opinio

I once under estimated how much cash I needed in Germany. The easiest way I could find to fix that was to use WU to send myself cash. It was far easier than dealing with my own bank to fix the ATM card. Bitcoin was a non-starter. I just don

I just finished The Three Body Problem. It's the best science fiction I've read in a very long time. It is a trilogy so it'll take some time, but completely worth it.

You're completely correct but I'm not sure that negates the point. What a person's specific religion is isn't interesting, just like their hobbies aren't interesting. They just don't say a lot about the person.

I think the poster's point is that people are reducing themselves to 0 or 1. That's essentially the problem with identity politics, people are complicated with many facets; why would you latch on to 1 identifying trait?

I think you made a bit of a strawman there. > If you have some academic training, try to stay informed about current affairs and participate in politics, people will demonize you for engaging in “political hobbyism”. The article isn&#x27

In case you're serious: yes I have read the article. Of course a one off non-peer reviewed piece isn't proof of anything but it does reference interesting data. Heart disease, influenza, and pneumonia really are things that kill e

Slack is async in the same way phone calls are async. You absolutely don't have to respond immediately on a phone call or on slack, the technology really doesn't care. They are both used conversationally though and that means they

Personally the more I use WSL the less inclined I am to ever use either direct Linux or MacOS again. Of course, that's WSL 2, there are definitely rough edges on WSL 1.

I really hope this trend for imperative titles ends soon. I'm happy the author found terms that line up with their goals/interests. If they want to share their thought process, that's interesting as well. If they tell me to c

That doesn't imply that everything Apple does is good, it states that in this case Apple is doing good.

For a wildly different perspective: now that MS introduced WSL2 I no longer use pure Linux machines. Windows 10 + WSL2 is just quicker and more stable for me. I'm not saying it's perfect but I don't have video/audio&#x

Using labels to short circuit debate works both ways equally well. 13. The blanket term "accountability" implies some sort of clear, reasoned collection of guidelines. The reality is that there is little consensus on public standa

It's the "blatantly" part of that sentence which is causing backlash. It's extremely subjective. What's blatantly racist in your opinion could be blatantly anti-racist to someone else.

No. Congress writes laws but they're supposed to be careful because the Supreme Court interprets. They'll essentially have to create a new bill (or tack this on to something else going through) and go through the full process, i.e

While it might feel nice to give Facebook all the credit(/blame) it's just way too simple of a explanation. Ads have been effective for a long time regardless of the type of media. There were complaints about running presidential

Yep to both. For years I've been a practicing engineer who manages. Surprising similar strategies: pick an ideal target state; get buy-in from stake holders (fellow engineers or business people); come up with a multi-step plan with mil
