I was looking for the perfect analogy and this is it - would India and other countries be justified for sanctioning the US government for something private companies did? Sanctions are something governments do to each other and this is an i

That sounds an attack on the people of India for something a private company is doing. I also don't think the US has jurisdiction there, so I'd much rather see an investment in education or public infrastructure to help with it. I

I use voicemail for that, I still get alerts for a new voicemail, and often the scam calls will just move on when there isn't an answer, or you can listen and it's pretty easy to tell if it's legitimate

I think the main goal here is that people using the phone don't have to pay for it. To that point though, it may be cheaper to use an existing (maybe thrown away) phone and just install it in a phone booth, then have an unlimited calli

Just curious - what was the evidence for this before the success? I don't think people are really built to handle that much power over other people, seems like anyone that gets that much money goes down basically the same path: - Vastl

Definitely agreed it's not politically viable haha, just seems like a good solution to the issue of housing affordability. Also as some others said it would need to be paired with building incentives to also make it easier for people t

I know this isn't the discussion but felt relevant to add - I think they should be legal to build and live in as a primary residence, but if the plan is just to rent it out then I think there should be restrictions. That seems like it

> So do better cars, in principle The "in principle" part is what concerns me. Cars that are cheaper and more reliable are definitely good, but if that's taking resources away from public transit (or worse by using the Bor

Just my personal experience but to me it seems like intelligence is a handicap for wisdom - you're more likely to rationalize stuff in a way that doesn't fit the "common sense" answer to things

I think intelligence and happiness are independent and both fall on a spectrum for people. Intelligent people are probably just more likely to see that as the root of their unhappiness - "it must be because I'm so smart and unders

Yeah I'm not saying this is what I think it correct - it's just how the law seems like it works. Ultimately you'd have to convince a jury and I don't think most people would believe "I just happened to forget it whe

I don't think it's enough to say they should ask, or they their SLA technically allows it. The letter of the license might allow it but the spirit seems to say that copilot should also be free to use. If they weren't charging

I agree with this as a general solution - if it's easier/cheaper to do the bad thing, then we use law/taxes to change the incentives. Here's a couple counterarguments I hear a lot: 1) "Personal responsibility - if p

I know they're not equal, but typically people lump them together and oppose both without knowing the differences, so I figured OP would like to know they're quoting a socialist to oppose Marxism, because they might actually reall

Is it not high horse morality to decide not to use them because of their actions?

I don't know if it's fair to say they don't hold everyone to the same moderation standards, the level of moderation will of course scale to the audience of the person but that seems fair - a smaller creator doesn't pose

AFAIK Marxism isn't about equal outcomes, but it is opposed to enforced classes. So a Marxist would likely argue you shouldn't have lower and advanced courses separate, but you'd still have one course with a distribution of g

This also seems to be for the sake of the teachers. There's a bunch of different methods to do math problems, and they're supposed to grade both the method and the result. It's way easier if everyone is using the same method

I think the big difference here is that it doesn't really matter if someone isn't athletic. A school can have 10 kids for an amazing basketball team and 990 that are terrible at basketball and it doesn't affect anything, but

I had a similar experience in school and definitely agree > I do think there is a push not to equalize everyone but to actually address individual needs, and those may draw resources from areas like advanced courses This is a great point

My school had a lot of different levels of math in particular, I took a lot of the highest courses and loved my teachers, but with the stories I've heard from other students it seems like the school would give the best teachers to the

If the author decides to they could always get around this with a license too - they could say that it can be used but not in a for-profit company, or that anything built using it must also be open sourced, etc. A more restrictive license w

I can definitely get behind this, being tracked is a solid disincentive to flying, this could work the same way for driving to promote more public transit/walkable cities. If this goes to facial tracking that's a whole different c

Definitely a good point, refactoring is great and has a bunch of benefits but can also be overdone and create problems. I've heard/read Sandi Metz talk about this as "The Wrong Abstraction"[1]. The basic argument is that

Ah ok that makes a lot more sense. To be fair though that is the same as git, I might push up the code but that doesn't mean I "created" it - I'm just the one taking responsibility for it by introducing it into the syste

Yeah I took a class that talked about this - most people agree that what you'd end up with is companies or individuals forcing you to disclose a hash to prove you voted the way they wanted. Votes kinda need to be unrecoverable at an in
