Totally irrelevant links — the assertion was about hybrid cars, those links speak to cars overall. The Toyota Prius debuted in the US in 2000. I’d argue 23 years is simply not sufficient to make an argument about long term reliability—parti

I thought users were prompted to give permission for this already? I get asked if I want to give “local network” access to apps sometimes (- lot these days actually) which I take to mean the ability to see local WiFi hotspots. I almost alwa

If this was my exposure to homeschooling I’d be alarmed too. I’ll just say there are also a lot of homeschoolers in NYC who do it for very different reasons - to give their kids individualized instruction, more freedom to learn in idiosyncr

Not sure where you get “superficial” but all the home schooling parents I know care deeply about their kids’ education and future — that’s why they invest the tremendous time homeschooling takes and deal with the pushback from friends and f

Ya no the schools routinely fail special needs students and even actively encourage homeschooling those kids sometimes because they see it as a big disruptive headache. I’ve seen this specifically with fellow parents who have kids on the sp

When you guys are comparing a short data driven blog post by Pitchbook about falling VC funding to William Randolph Hearst tabloids starting the Spanish American War with racist hysteria, it seems like the problem isn’t the journalism but t

The article includes a six year chart of total VC funding from 2018 to present that clearly shows the context of the COVID spike.

There are a number of state laws but the last time I checked the one in Illinois (which requires affirmative consent to do facial recognition) is the only effective one because it contains what’s called a “right of private action” - if the

The comments here are funny. You have a bunch of people saying folks are fleeing NYC due to crime. Then other people saying folks are fleeing due to housing shortage and rents going up. It's like the old restaurant line, "no one g

Not so, much more typical to just take an anonymous function for things ruby uses blocks for. For example, map, or filter (select in ruby), or reduce. “with-open” is a macro because it needs to do something more complicated (create a bunch

I thought about switching for this reason but there is a logic to having different distros for server vs workstation. It’s nice having an up to date emacs and firefox for example, but I don’t expect a server distro to care about that, or a

My theory on this - they placed the goods in storage and could not fence them quickly but had found a buyer. Paying the storage fee would kill their profit. So they tell him where the goods are, betting he will 1. Pay the fee 2. Be stupid e

(And FWIW much of that discussion situated this as less about robots and more about accidents involving heavy industrial machinery and people failing to "lockout/tagout" when repairing it.)

Not a question of anyone being wrong. Having the opinion that my relative should have her children taken by the state might be repulsive to me but it is a statement of values, not something that can be refuted. Instead I simply suggested a

This is an insightful way of framing things. It had not occurred to me to look at it this way. It describes my own issues with school growing up and my own interest in homeschooling — the chance to provide individualized instruction and to

Why do you presume that religious parents necessarily have bad outcomes homeschooling? I have a relative who is deeply religious. I know I would not agree with her on, for example, evolution. But she is loving and devoted and her two daught
