   The comparison to me sounds like "you dont have to take a plane to travel between countries, paddle boats exist".

   My 8yo keeps calling any piece of software he can run an "app", regardless of it being on a computer, a website, or a mobile device. I object to it out of principle, old man yelling at clouds style. But fundamentally, it's ju

   I've heard it quite a bit before, but mostly from second-language speakers whose first language don't have impersonal third-person pronouns - e.g. French uses "il" or "elle" for all of "he", "she

    I mean, I did leave a role because the things we were doing clashed heavily with my principles (ad-tech adjacent). I had the luxury of doing so - an opportunity arose somewhere else, I could afford to make the move, etc. But it's also

    Let's not go down the semantic argument route and pretend like the impersonal you is not a thing in the English language.

    Gabe Newell (Valve/Steam) seems to agree with your analyst friend's take. > The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re r

    I was asking about the concept of “hive mind”. Is the concept accepted as a “thing”, has it ever been measured in any way, and if yes, what is it?

    Is there any scientific basis for some kind of shared collective thought I don’t know about? In other words, what’s the “hive mind” if not the collective result of individual minds?

    > If you don’t like that, just don’t buy from them… This line of thinking only works as long as there are decent alternatives that exist. Now that Google is going this way too, the alternatives just plainly don’t exist at all, especially

    This is already what’s happening on iOS devices. Signing services like Signulous[1] basically buy a bunch of developer licenses, and registers your devices on it. The keys eventually end up getting revoked, obviously. [1] https:/&#x2F

    With how car-centric North America is, there isn’t much to walk to for a lot of people. Things are just very far from each other. I’d walk places a whole lot more if I had things at a reasonable walking distance, I used to do it all the tim
