The white supremacists, descendants of the defeated confederacy, and their sympathizers would love for everyone to stop “racializing” issues. I guess they don’t want to talk about how black people didn’t even get protection against housing

Disregarding the issue of AI for a moment, I don’t really think books were ever the ideal way to learn programming. It’s so obviously better to learn programming in a web based medium. Not just for tutorials or code-running environments, bu

The article didn’t actually discuss the specific quantity of millimeters of sea level rise, either.

This humors me: people still think CNN has a “liberal bias” especially as it transitions into ownership by David Ellison. They probably should have mentioned it, yeah. But if you’re on a sinking ship in the ocean that does mean that the wat

I wonder if they would even have to be relocated if they had the water management expertise and functional government of Denmark? I think the article didn’t talk enough about how Louisiana is far too poor to undertake a planned relocation w

I can’t see it being a bad thing. The kind of landlord who is willing to keep a property vacant is not usually a struggling enterprise, unless we are talking about a completely hollowed out declining metropolitan area (which most west coast

It’s also kind of a beautiful thing. Our government is actually run by those who care enough to sign up to do it. There are nonpartisa and partisan resources out there that encourage people to just run for something. On the negative side, I

If you want my opinion I think what these mods said had nothing to do with the stress of the environment, they’re just following something of a community moderator trope where they maybe aren’t even employees and at all but enjoy the author

At some point we can’t keep blaming IP theft for obvious innovation and investments being made by China. We also can’t blame subsidy. All countries subsidize their industries. This video on the auto industry covers a different industry but

There were no uncivil comments in the whole thread. Also, corporations don’t have feelings. They aren’t people. They are legal structures. No comments made were directed at moderators or employees.

I don’t even think Omarchy is particularly popular. I see a lot of activity and user preferences around Linux Mint, Bazzite, and CachyOS, in addition to the traditionally popular choices like Ubuntu and Fedora. I’d be more inclined to ignor

An example of where it stopped happening is with gasoline in developed countries. Cars having better fuel efficiency doesn’t make me drive further to the grocery store or work. Generally when someone replaces their vehicle the new one is mo

To be honest, the depopulation crisis is not something we are likely to be able to stop in the long term. But curtailing immigration certainly won't help, and the US would be uniquely positioned as an immigration destination to weather

You’re getting close to understanding my point.

It was an honest mistake, I legitimately thought they weren’t born in this country. We could easily extend this to second generation immigrants if we want to make xenophobes look even dumber. Imagine the American tech industry without Steve

It’s amazing how close and how far you are at understanding my point simultaneously. Without committing to some wildly contradictory logic, the xenophobic political party in charge of this country cannot be simultaneously in favor of mass d

You don’t even have to think that hard about it. Without immigration an imminent depopulation crisis is on its way to America. We are actually blessed to be in demand as an immigration destination as well as a culture and infrastructure uni

Sure, but being identified is only part of the issue. It’s also about the quantity of rights you have in a vehicle versus outside of one.

This unintentionally makes my point perfectly. Your area was rural very recently. Obviously in rural areas people are driving, but the fact that your area developed recently means they had the luxury of hindsight and a clean slate. The fact

I like the idea of the setup and the philosophy behind it but I don’t like the implementation as much. If I’m spending a lot of time with text I’d really like the text and editor to have a much better aesthetic appearance than what I’m seei

First I would question why anyone has to drive 20 miles to reach basic needs like grocery stores and employers. Isn’t that already a failure of urban and suburban planning? Existing on public transit is not an automatic agreement to be sear

One major example is how Chicago Public Schools has a non-cooperation policy and a policy to refuse warrantless access to school property for ICE agents. The school district also refuses to consider immigration status as a prerequisite to e

This is also why car dependent infrastructure is a bad thing for Americans’ freedom. You have more civil rights as a pedestrian than you do in a licensed motor vehicle.

Right! I think the only example that comes to mind for me as far as “bled money for years and eventually became a cash cow” is YouTube. Most other ventures that bled money that long ended up dying. Maybe Reddit is an example? But my impress

It’s weird to me that profitability is so thoroughly dismissed by the software tech industry because of an assumption that the tech industry will always be “early stage” and “high growth.” We can look at a “success story” like Uber and it i

Recall that Waymo’s solution isn’t 100% AI or even close to it. It predates the LLM era and operates on streets that are 100% 3D mapped. Real life humans take over operation of the vehicle when difficult situations occur. They don’t drive l

Google is claiming AGI is around the corner, isn’t that supposed to be at least comparable to a 3 year old? I assume you don’t have kids or know any kids if you don’t think they’re able to judge puddle sizes at age 3. Why shouldn’t I make t

So your view is “accept a monopoly and become their bitch?” I use a competitor to Spotify because I like the other product better overall. It’s a better value and better suited to my needs. I never said I’m using something else just to stic

I’m against it from these angles: 1. I like live concerts but I don’t spend my days listening to a lot of music. I would be considered “not a fan” by these metrics. 2 The monopolistic aspect. I subscribe to a much smaller Spotify competitor

Unpredictable drivers aren’t a challenge compared to weather. They’re just 3D objects to avoid. That’s a solved problem. The thing about weather is that with a fully automated fleet they can just stop and give up on driving instantly. Rain
