Given the idea was championed by a major manufacturer of cars, who has a vested interest in mass transit failing, you might be right.

That’s more of a power play than an apology. As you said only you can admit error without repercussion

JavaScript is a choice. Inclusivity generally refers to things which are not a choice.

Secrets should be in env vars or secret storage like hashicorps vault You set those on deployment so your engineering team never see production secrets

There is nothing in that link which makes your point. Veggies are an order of magnitude lower in carbon footprint per calorie than beef. Environmentally speaking there is no argument for eating beef

I am not sure if that was rhetorical, but reviewing things a) takes time and b) builds up Amazons moat with no benefit to the reviewer

Which.co.uk is basically this, it’s great but they can’t always keep up with every product category

How many products have you reviewed? Why do you do it?

isn't the customer the government? are people on the street actually going to have to pay for this?

Define “shambles” and “line the streets” without using hyperbole. Don’t build straw men “your neighbour” Clearly link your alleged increase in crime and demographic change to drug policy Otherwise this is not an argument.

Those things have large negative externalities that the individual doesn’t pay for. Drugs don’t really have that- unless you make them high cost and illegal.

I should hope not- there are no wires in your brain!

You’re talking to a general practitioner in that case, they won’t know the specific details, just in general. If you speak to researchers or specialists they do have a clue. But we still have a long long way to go

You probably are smart enough. It’s never to late to learn and contribute.

But what about the bazillions of other providers involved in building an app e.g. GitHub, npm, circleci, sentry, the App Store, sendgrid, mail chimp etc. etc. Sure you can code/implement everything yourself on an eco-friendly server bu

Code probably won't help that much, but using green hosting providers is very helpful. Think of all those servers drawing power 24x7, that are powered by burning coal. Does anyone have a list of carbon-neutral VPS hosts? Is it possible

Or you could not use liquid soap altogether ;-) it has no benefits over bars of soap that last far longer and don’t require plastic packaging. Reduce, reuse, recycle - in that order

I don’t think you could trust a volunteer football fan to control this remotely. Losing 3-0? Oops the cameras pointing at the sky for the last 30 minutes. Penalty to the opposing team? Oops I slipped and missed it. Football fans are petty a

Ads are different to the things people post on social media. Facebook can’t moderate and fact check ads? Why not? Because it would cost them too much of their 17billion dollar revenue? Boohoo

The difference is in the “it throws an error” bit- if you’re including lines of code because it makes your program work but you don’t know why, you’re also potentially introducing side effects and other behaviours that you don’t understand,

The P stands for Private so I think privacy would be a part of it somehow.

Is this a some kind of sick, sarcastic joke?

It’s a licensing issue- you could do that if HBO granted you a license to do that. They don’t when you “buy” GoT online. I’m sure if you offered them a few hundred million dollars they’d let you.

They are correct, imagine if you had a subscription to prime and then copied / made all of that available on your own ad-supported service for free. So Amazon has to put a license on the content. Whether the license is fair or not is u

You don't own the film on disk. You own a license which can be very restrictive, and you own a physical medium (i.e. the disk itself) You cannot copy that disk, you can't play it in front of large audiences, you can't modify
