Yes, well, that's not what anyone is doing. Here is the logic that caused surprise: 1. Leaders identify with nonbinary pronouns, 2. thus: leaders appear to be members of the/a queer community, 3. and: queer community members tend

Then say "constraints" if it feels better. To me, this conversation comes off as much more of a manufactured problem than idealistic people living on a boat and figuring out how to make tech work for them. Edit: However, upon re

I've read, and like, a theory that their unpredictable movement is a big driver in the fear of spiders and snakes. I just found this with a quick search, for some evidence (it's not what I read originally, years ago): https:&#x2F

I'm loving your contributions to these comments. Tangentially: assuming I had the drive + health to make the change, do you feel it would be a particularly challenging move for a software engineer to abandon their career to go back to

If the definition doesn't matter, better to use a more generic term than a more specific/cryptic one.

I just read your first article and it's decent. As I expected, it makes no attempt to offer any evidence that the CNE has published reliable results, or that the math in TFA is faulty in any way. It simply talks about the difficulty of

You've missed the mark, and admittedly I was vague, but you seem to be talking about a completely separate phenomenon from the one I replied to. I am not talking about "technology putting people out of work." I am talking abo

Is writing synth music in python more enjoyable or practical than a visual virtual synth like VCV Rack? Granted I don't like python, but for me writing music in pure code looks tedious.

Is "implicitly unambiguous" anything but an oxymoron? Do you think all humans have access to your mental model of the world?

The LPs are pretty laughable. From the outside it's completely obvious that at least some are not followed in any way that a reasonable person would interpret them. You mentioned a few, such as their supposed "customer obsession.&

In fact, it was designed not to be used that way, but someone at some point got lazy and now here we are.

Oh yes, I agree that regulation would need to be more robust to future exploitation. But banning the points system isn't intrinsically going to increase their profits, or they wouldn't be running it in the first place.

Telling someone what you'd do in that situation is also another way of sussing out context they haven't told you yet. As an extremely simplified example: "I'd probably remove that piece right there first. It doesn't

I think we're in agreement about what the rewards system is. I'm just saying that the side effect of getting points-users really invested in using points is a second layer of the scam. Obviously it is good for the credit card issu

That's not a counterpoint. The root comment says "this harms others for personal gain," and your rebuttal is "but I gain something". Just to be clear, playing these ridiculous point games isn't something I&#x27
