Since WMF really cranked their fundraising popups into high gear ~6 weeks ago people have been posting articles here protesting about the foundation and on every thread there is someone who takes this standpoint. It's your money, but t

True but this critique more or less applies to real money as well. Inflation does seem to be a naturally emergent property of every healthy monetary system ever created so I don't think that this is necessarily a problem. And transacti

I’m not sure what planet the author is living on. 70 years of oligopoly would suggest otherwise. Seat belts, safety glass and steering columns that don’t harpoon the driver may have been inevitable as the consequences of dying in minor cras

TLDR, you need to scroll past three ads and large blocks of SEO text before you see their old timey font rendered as a jpg.

Sure, you can sit around Twitter all day whining about how Apple won't make your favorite phone or you can get on AliExpress and send $20 USD for a brand new Ferrari Phone: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802047

Kidnapping and raping slaves is not really the same as free love or a polyamory.

Implicit? It is explicitly stated. Brand are a big part of marketing your product to your customers. Brands need to be kept up to date because the styles and tastes of your customers change. Things get old. New display/printing technol

If you're concerned that Rust has been compromised you should consider where that leaves Python. The NSA is both offensive and defensive. Part of their mandate is to protect American infrastructure for foreign attacks. A switch like th

Probably not globally but if you restrict your focus to working age adults in America (the people who might be using this service) then it is not far off . The average American does spend about $1000 on coffee per year[1], which is probably

This is a bit hyperbolic. It's really not that bad of a rebrand. Brands are important. People care about them. They need to be updated with the times. Perhaps the author would care to show some alternative modernizations to illustrate

Logically no, but there are good reasons to distrust and despise hypocrites.

It’s not but a basic Google search should show some of the more clear examples of the NYT using aggressive spyware for ads, AB modifying stories in real time to drive engagement, and subscription policies that are virtually impossible to ba

This is being obtuse and trying to deflect the concern. The concern is that if a company's leadership is allowed to make mistakes without suffering any personal consequences then they will continue making bad decisions. The op question

Is this serious? Some of the side by sides are totally blacked out vs beautifully lit. The improvements in cameras open up the possibility of taking shots that would have simply not been possible. Sure photography is a skill. The realtime f

It's even stupider than that: it divides this figure by a largely fabricated estimate of how many hours people actually worked. This is a SWAG metric that is largely made up. The commentary is most likely irrelevant.

Wittgenstein's ruler comes to mind: what is 'productivity' measuring? A quick glance at the chart in the article suggests that the variance of this metric is huge. It is more or less a white noise source with a small DC offse

I think Wikipedia funding lawyers to defend fair use interpretations of copyright is actually a very useful function to support the encyclopedia. I know it sounds stupid, but there are a lot of lawyers out there looking to make a buck off a

I’ve been thinking back to the 2008 recession where we had a jobless recovery for the next ~5 years. Part of me wonders if we will have an unemployment free downturn on the flip side. Personally I prefer the later to the former, but I under

That is impressive. Pretty accurate about the early morning cold spots. Not sure how much of this is just matching historical trends (SF has a pretty consistent climate), but the level of spatial resolution on the data is amazing. Not sure

This is true for now. As someone who bought the original ~3-4 years ago, I feel very nervous that the way I use my $500 device is not aligned with the company’s long term road map. Add the fact that I recommended this device to a bunch of f

This is just beyond obtuse. More people having access will mean more people who are untrustworthy having access, which means more malicious action. (Unless you want to setup some toy scenario where the only bad faith actors people on the pl

The ergonomics for Tensorflow are probably always going to be behind PyTorch (or Keras for that matter). The fact that the API has not been stable for the past 6 years has really burned me one too many times to not flinch at using it. It is

It’s a totally rational response that is also horribly selfish. You kind of see this sentiment any time discussion of San Francisco comes up. A bunch of people who have voted to consistently take funds out of the city will jump to attack it

No. The problem is deeper than that. Adding more housing and more services will help but don't kid yourself into thinking that these things are free or that they will magically make the problems disappear. People will still be on drugs
