Why is it objectively evil? Is it because the consumer pays more? Is it because the artist and venue don't make as much as they could? I didn't like scaling, but I don't consider it evil.

I've almost been hit by a car. I was crossing the street, they were turning left and failed to yield. Missed me by inches. I would NOT use the term traffic violence. At least not for that incident. It isn't the correct term. Drape

"data in this graph are copyrighted." No, no they are not. Data can't be copyrighted, at least in the USA. The format of the days can be copyrighted. But not the data itself.

By "early 80s computers" if you mean home computers like the C64, Apple II, trs80, ibmpc and Sinclair, then the answer is no. Not really. Today's software is memory and power hungry. Which 80s computers didn't have very

Yes. Well maybe not perfectly fine. But it is constitutional. It isn't a public bag, just removal from public schools. Generally adult books and belong in schools. The issue here is these (or some of them) are aimed at young adults. Yo

It is interesting you complain about money distribution and then your next statement talks about being cheaper. The reason paid is so prevalent is because it is cheaper and more convenient. I'm not sure what you mean by "healthy s

Enforcing traffic laws are good. Automating that is bad. Who is to say what the sure limit is? My car has sign recognition. There is some construction and the freeway drops to 35 mph. There is a sign that says that. But at the exact same pl

Wealth has a definition. It is what you own (minus what you owe) now whether you are wealthy or not is another question. Someone making 12k a year is not going to pay much on taxes. Some sales tax, maybe some property tax. That is about it

The simple answer is, because that is what is being used. The complicated answer is there are multiple ways to do things. And just because you know one way doesn't mean you shouldn't learn another. For uploading files you say you

No. It didn't deprive the state of taxes. Especially since the tax didn't exist before a year (or so) ago. This is actually one of the problems with this particular tax. It can drive people away, and you lose out on other taxes.

Maybe it has something to do with the the medical factors in government, like Dr Fauci telling us not to wear masks. It maybe it was all if the prior research that shows that masks fit the last person were mostly ineffective.

No. No it didn't. That is like saying stack overflow's mistake cost you. Or the weird of some random stranger cost you.

I would argue that "money spent on advertisement is money not spent on R&D and improving the product" isn't strictly true. Yes you can spend money in improving the product instead of advertising. But if advertising incre

Maybe it is me being pedantic, but AIs don't hallucinate. They make stuff up (it is pretty much all they do) but to claim that is a hallucination attributes a trait to them that they don't have (shoot calling then AI does the same

What is the real gain? Resources. There are a ton of resources up there. Knowledge. A lot of things we have today we have because of our previous space race. But the real reason... It is virtually free. The budget is almost 0 compared to ev

The point isn't where you live or die. The point is that we are willing to spend more for a good product, when that product isn't software (I don't think that is true) he wasn't saying "we buy jam but not software&q

Why? If the three only crime reported in a neighborhood is a bunch of arrest warrants, why is that less safe than a place that has a bunch of violent crimes reported? I think you are implying that as neighborhood that has a bunch of crimin

I didn't think you need to find that many bugs to make code reviews useful. Even if you only find a handful of bugs it is probably with it. Keep in mind the longer the code exists the more expensive it is to fix it. Finding a bug early
