It's amazing and all, but can be so subtly wrong. I let it autocomplete a function for generating time zone offset. It sneaked a minus sign in there so central US offset would be +0600 instead of -0600. My manager caught it during code

There's a way insufficient thermal generation can be mitigated- operate under one of the Eastern or Western grids instead of maintaining your own. The motivation behind having a separate Texas grid is political and nothing else. That&#

So the state can ask for social media details when the applicant is filing the visa application overseas. Disclaimer I'm (or was) a foreign national myself. I would not have rights even at the port of entry, or within 100 miles of inte

I don't think that's correct. I am in the USA and when I configure it, I can pick windows, Ubuntu, fedora or no preinsalled OS. Funnily enough, Ubuntu option is $25 cheaper than no OS option.

Who determines if someone is a criminal or not? Do we have a perfect mechanism for it? Can we trust the algorithm to not harass or harm innocent people? Unfortunately no. There is a reason police need a warrant from a judge before they are

You don't have to explain to me about culture mix. The British came and ruled us for 210 years. Before them the French and the Spanish and the Portuguese came. Unlike the migrants you are getting, we were sent the worst of them with th
