Why not? This is a very dogmatic take on how to spend ones time. People enjoy different things, if you enjoy spending time behind a screen, go for it.

Someone who is a jerk will be fired very quickly when showing incompetence. The bar is much higher for a jerk, and even then he can be supercompetent but still get fired because he is a jerk and not good for the team. Someone who is nice ge

Yeah the wording was not completely accurate but I assume he means that the tails are long.

Or worse, subtly inaccurate. The problem I have with generative AI right now, its product looks like it makes sense and sometimes it does, but there is always the risk of total nonsense hidden somewhere in the middle. So you still need some

Ehh.. with an android TV media device you can sideload something like smarttube next and have youtube on your TV without ads. It requires some investment of time and money, sure, but nothing outrageous and far from impossible.

A lot of animals do eat insects however, so it is not that they are dangerous a priori. Our evolutionary ancestors, small mammals/primates, most likely did eat insects. We somehow evolved them out of our diet. Strange actually, since t

slighty OT, but it is a travesty that Quizlet (previously Slader) has gone behind a paywall. Slader had a lot of community generated solutions to textbook problems. Users gave them the content for free, and they monetized it, kept only veri

That is the argument most monopolies make. Look at all the good things I am doing! I might not do them if I make less money! (While swimming in money and spending a fraction to R&D) Same can be said about the customers: they could&#x27

Others doing the same doesn't justify the practice. I am calling out Apple right now because this discussion is about Apple, not because I just want to blame Apple and give a pass to the others. What is this argument, is Apple now the

by blablablerg 4y ago
If Apple only made better products than their competitors, a case could be made, sure. The problem is things like the 30% shake out on transactions in other apps.

An import distinction to make is that this is about the (major) record labels in pop music. The vast majority of (independent) record labels are small companies, that focus on the music. They won't make you dirty rich or famous, but i

I live in a pretty safe country, but these days in the smartphone era I feel more vulnerable when alone at night in the city, not because I have crypto or anything but just because I have a smartphone, an expensive device and a PITA to lose

Steelmanning is not the same as agreeing with an argument. According to the article, there can be situations that if you are steelmanning position X, you can be 'strawmanning' position Y. This however is not true. You can always s

Slackware is more bare bones, so its good for learning linux. It is also stable, people set up slackware servers and let it run for years. But to be honest, modern distros are much more convenient esp for workstations. These days Slackware

This is the term for it, but probably not sexy enough when I read all the other suggestions.

Well Xi is responsible for a lot of bad things, so someone wishing him a trip to the Hague is far from "generic ideological and nationalistic flamewar" but a fair response to what is happening to people that Xi doesn't like.

No one says it will solve everything, but taking cocaine trafficking away from them will hurt them in their pockets. There are only so much avocado entrepreneurs they can kidnap and extort. Legalizing alcohol again in the US didn't mak

by blablablerg 5y ago
And Kidnapping of avocado growers is a billion dollar industry? How many are there to kidnap? That doesn't compare to the income generated by cocaine traffic.
