They should, firstly, be held to at least the same standards as other users. If it's not ok for one user to threaten another, why is it ok for a world leader to use your forum to threaten war, especially when world leaders are given a

As a lead engineer, I would not let software like this out into the wild. The risk is so high and it's not ready. A lot of this would be caught by any engineer driving the car for... 15 minutes. You have thousands of engineers to throw

~17 years ago when I was in high school, my senior project was teaching old folks how to use computers. It was much harder than I expected. Clicking a mouse was something they just didn't understand - they used their whole hand! Had to

I think this does make an impact. At 30% I wasn't even slightly considering trying to make money from a mobile app. At 15% it at least becomes an idea, though that's still a pretty high percentage just to be listed and distributed

I'd say I'm under-credentialed. I don't have a CS degree. I'd like a way to prove my skills once, rather than with every interview I have. I bet CS grads would as well. The interview process is just so... tedious. And in

I'd prefer credentials, honestly. Something like the bar for law (but with no specific academic requirements - a test anyone can take) would be useful. If whiteboarding works, that can be done once and become an accreditation. Repeatin

No, it's not special for Israel. It makes sense for nations to learn to live peacefully with their neighbors, especially when those neighbors are vastly more powerful than them. But there's also a bit of a false equivalence here:
