Dyslexic and also a prolific screen reader user myself. +1 and thank you for mentioning something that often gets (ironically) overlooked

Driving and living in Atlanta after living in Charleston and Raleigh felt like transitioning from a modern cooperative society to an island of cannibals. The amount of aggression needed to change lanes largely regardless of attempts to sign

I like Atlanta’s solution even better: after becoming egregious enough sloppily bolt down a much too tall metal plate over the pothole and those that have proliferated nearby. Cross fingers and hope they won’t coalesce as a sink hole and as

We’re moving away from hardware and into software and longevity in this discussion but wrt “apple leads the industry in supporting older devices with software updates” i would point out that Red Hat is probably more of a beacon / indus

Have you considered taking up your hobby in Afghanistan? Somewhat tongue in cheek, but a locality under the Taliban have ratified a morality law that bans photography of living things https://apnews.com/article/afghanis

Getting a 503 error now upon request to the vape hosted blog. Safe to say that it got smoked by the hacker news traffic volume!

Sorry I’m late to this conversation but am very interested in the specifics of your comment and the micro domain of AI in studio productions and the econs of the bidding landscape as well. Contact in bio :)

both of my claims were subjective and thus not really refutable. As an outsider I think it is interesting, too. And think the flexibility is similar to many laws akin to what we have in the US via prosecutorial discretion I should’ve includ

The taliban actually have a fascinatingly (philosophically) based law where it’s illegal to photograph a living thing. I’m not sure about the reason. Maybe derived from the not being okay to depict Mohammed. But I kind of dig the concept es

I actually think some of the dysfunction is by design and what has made the dollar so stable throughout the last 25 years or so. No major legislation can get passed and thus anything too radical is ctrl-z'd by the next executive and we

You're right to be cautious when placing optimism in captivating theories on governance. Venezuela is another instance of great rhetoric eventually deteriorating into devastation. But as things are in America I feel like it's nice

Thanks for this. This is going to be a nice Wikipedia walk trailhead :) I'm drawn to randomness as it's elegant, simple and wholesome. By the people for the people and being judged by a jury of peers in court also seemed to sugges
