I think there’s a mid ground where industry does nothing except slap a sticker on warning people that game features will sunset in the future, making parts of the game unplayable, perhaps making some commitment like no sooner than December

The presumption I’m already using cloudfare is a start. Is this a requirement for maintaining a simple website now?

Stacking it in a single sack is a bit silly though, it would fit in a small duffle bag or backpack.

Goes against the whole premise of "ever wonder what a million dollars looks like?" They could have just created a million dollar bill and hung it on the wall

That’s mental fatigue from learning and being engaged on a topic for a duration. Maybe some additional from screen time/blue light fatigue. But it used to happen after studying for hours pre-internet. Just my hunch, but post student li

The “satisfied” part is the most harmful imo. This is what causes lack of actual social interaction and real friendships. Loneliness is on the rise as friendships are on a decline, this is a byproduct of social media gratification The other

In the US, if they were allowed and priced as low as I hear they can be (without excessive tariff, etc) then I'd expect it would only take 5-10 years. Assuming they are in fact similar on quality/reliability to what we're use

In that context, my response would be "ready for what?" Dinner being ready, my car being ready (at a mechanic), things like that have proper context that being ready means being done. I'm an English as single language pleb th

Everything that has increased by more than income growth has gotten less affordable. Thankfully it seems to be happening to all the most expensive things housing, vehicles, education, healthcare, etc (/s incase not obvious)

Sure but also citizens that value those aspects of their locale are probably the driving force.

It's a heavy tax to protect the ignorant. I hear things like this and think how I've been using a computer for nearly 4 decades and it's never once happened to me. Maybe those types of people need to re-evaluate their technol

I have this problem all the time and I can usually run the calcs in a simple multithreaded process pool/queues. While each calc may still take 15s, I run a dozen or more at a time. This helps me refresh the cache in a reasonable amount

Generally, I think it's boredom. Specifically, many people haven't learned it is a life skill to deal with boredom, instead they constantly find a way be entertained and a phone always within reach offers a great solution to that

I read the article as if it was written by a smoker, that wanted to quit so badly, he engineered a complex machine that would only dispense him a cigarette on a defined and spaced out schedule. Thereby, not quitting at all.

It's certainly degraded and I have to sift through a lot of junk but I find it's still pretty easy to identify the grift/counterfeiters/etc. I've never had a problem with returns. It's generally easy to initiat

This is an issue with many retailers surrounding holiday and 30 day policies. You'd think they could use some exception for defective items versus just normal return/exchange, but they rarely do

I think if you were to ask them, being a "Marketplace" means they have little responsibility. "Retailers" have much more legal responsibility in terms of vetting manufacturers, supply chain concerns, product safety, etc

I think what social media and search engines have taught us is that people are never willing to pay enough to avoid ads from being introduced. Even when people pay, ads are just too tempting of a revenue stream for most businesses to ignore

NYC is an outlier of US cities though. The long narrow island of Manhattan makes everything more efficient in terms of the subway, etc. Most other large US cities sprawl endlessly in all directions.

We'd have to have an example of public transit done well to break the caste stigma you referenced. I don't think anywhere in the US is anywhere close to Amsterdam (discussed in video you linked)

Yeah, makes logical since from a risk management perspective. Consumers aren’t logical though and this is a major reason for me to ignore/dismiss your offering. Also the prices are kind of absurd IMO. I pay my gardener $40 per session

I don't quite get the available tasks section with per task pricing. Can't I just rent it for the day and let it do my gardening, housecleaning, .... as much as it can get done in the time I have it? Or are you actually charging m

Has a lot to do with what you’re building. It does front end and crud apps pretty well. Things like games and more complex programs I feel like I’m fighting it more and should just write the code myself

No evidence this guy was trying to start a massive explosion with a single target. Most evidence is that he was trying to start a lot of tiny fires just like I could with the 20 gallons of gas that's in my tank. Except, not even that b

Fix the problem then, don't perpetuate it. If you think the problem is corrupt and profiteering prisons that will turn to this type of shenanigans, there's a bigger problem to fix.

I read it and I simply don't think intent to distribute should be synonymous with intent to kill. There are violent crimes with actual victims that serve less time than this. This is a mathematical calculation of damage that could have
