Identity and permission are often closely related, and usually auth means both. If we replaced auth with permissions and login, I suspect we would still encapsulate the same overarching concept with one of those two words anyway. E.g. use t

You're assuming a stateful system where the state is distributed throughout the components of the system. For a stateless component of a distributed system, you don't need redundancy to recover from an outage. >likelihood of fa

One off chance encounters like that on a bar or street put a lot of pressure on the specific encounter and don't allow a more gradual "get to know you" phase. Do you have a social activity that you've neglected with the

Cool. Same. Glad we agree that the "discussion" made mention of Canadians then. Have a good one.

Why'd you say up north then?

The way you view homeless people is completely dehumanizing and embarrassingly inaccurate. I would encourage you to get off your high horse and acquire an ounce of perspective.

The implication that I don't go to Tim's because I don't want to be in proximity to or associated with blue collar workers is extremely offensive to me as a Canadian.

Hanging out at Tim's is like hanging out at Subway or Dairy Queen. Other than the quality comparison, or the just plain sad vibes comparison, Tim's is in the "quick service" restaurant business since private equity bough

He successfully marketed and monetized an industry that already existed and would continue to exist without him, then reinvested in that industry to make himself more money. The way you and some others talk about him you would think he inve

And what exactly would stop an imitator from advertising that they're the "real deal"? Or maybe just that they're an "improved version"? There's extremely little regulation in advertising even now.

Deflation is not a healthy system under capitalism, where people must work to survive. In the ideal scenario the value of work would approach zero due to a reduction of money in circulation. Work done yesterday would always be worth more th

If we operated on a deflationary currency, the value of your labour would be tied to cost of goods, and your salary would decrease each year, while the rich continued to accumulate more of the proportion of cash. Working people would still

Congrats on being married, but I'm not sure what your family's ethnic identity has to do with your really cool short story and accompanying AI generated picture idea. It's the perfect example really, I can't believe I ev

If the other side of the issue is a propaganda network funded by a billionaire demagogue, then I'm pretty happy being part of the problem, thanks.

You may have replied to the wrong comment because I think we're here talking about how this dude can't figure out how to find a picture of a white family on the internet.

Thanks for apologizing. Unfortunately such a dumb, contrived complaint has caused me permanent damage from which I may never recover.

Not familiar with what NME means but perhaps they could check literally any stock photo site instead of the only busted AI that doesn't show this one particular thing?

If someone is asking an AI for pictures specifically of a black or asian family I would assume they are corporate HR. If someone's asking an AI for pictures specifically of a white family I would assume their comment history includes r

Why, exactly, are you asking an AI for pictures of a white family? Seems extremely strange.

I opened this expecting to see legitimate criticisms about the culture problems at google, but I can't get past the excessive whining about wokeness. I think that pseudo-progressive policies at hyper-capitalist corporations can contrib

Sure, but that's not the argument being made here. The data that Tesla uses is obviously massaged to make their product have the illusion of superior safety. To what extent is unclear, but it is clear that this data has an agenda. It d

What? Why? The driver is also a target of marketing, as evidenced by the fact that they owned a Tesla. They aren't personally responsible for, or privy to, the lies of marketing. Employment at a corporation also doesn't grant you

IME git abstractions make it easy to read and navigate standard workflows, but incredibly difficult to repair issues that arise due to divergence of some kind or another because they are so opinionated. I use git 99% in the terminal, and 1%

Gold and silver also had celebi hidden in the game files and it could be hacked in with a gameshark! TBH, I don't consider the glitch list that you shared to be a list of flaws. I played the original pokemon games a lot, and heard all
