What the author describes as being around people actually sounds like social isolation: yes, NYC is full of people but the way the author describes it, they're all strangers. This isn't alienating, this is alienated. Humans have e

I think his point is more that most of them solve issues the CMS should address directly (in his opinion) or that should be better addressed outside the CMS (e.g. SSL and caching). The emphasis in that sentence is in the last part: > the

What's weird about that other than the mistake of thinking "the EU itself" is a thing in this context? States are allowed to have armies, corporations are not. States can send people with guns after you and lock you away, cor

The comment you're replying to doesn't seem to mention the debunked "sugar rush". The "crash" on the other hand seems to be more replicable. Also your framing ignores that the "prompting" can be circu

I find it hard to understand how you could argue it's productive when it is literally about exploiting other people's inexperience, naivety or honesty (lacking a "poker face") in order to take their money from them. It d

Spend any time working in advertising and you'll fall down the "content marketing" rabbit hole. There's a lot of money in selling Pepsi its own logo or making sure people can't forget about a brand but there's

I'm angry that I have to agree here. I use DDG and Bing primarily and Google as a fallback. Increasingly since I started doing so, Google's results were just as bad as what DDG or Bing would provide. I've downright given up o

My most charitable interpretation is that the astronaut thought the bag was attached to a tether given that it had a clip - which sadly wasn't attached to anything.

False DMCA claims are technically considered perjury I think. The problem is that most so-called DMCA claims are actually not using the DMCA mechanism at all: filing a bogus copyright claim on YouTube for example doesn't have to involv

I find that TikTok's algorithm is actually excellent at pigeonholing you depending on what you pay attention to. The only "thot" content I ever see is when TikTok decides to push (geographically localized) live chats on me (w

It's impressive because it worked. Nobody would know if it hadn't because the shot wouldn't have been used then. Yeah, that makes it kind a trivial but it's still a good shot because it worked. What makes this one the &q

You know that you can look up "lead poisoning" and it effects, right? It's an entire thing with many studies into it and a well-understood mechanism of how it happens and so on? It tastes sweet and is a very useful material a

I love how both of you are basically just arguing about different ways of how women have no agency. "Those women" are definitely "brainwashed" but phrasing it that way is very condescending. It's called advertising

"Ice is nice" is severely understating the importance of refrigeration. The ability to preserve fresh foods is easily up there with penicilin.

Governments love passing bills that give the government more power. Very rarely do governments pass bills to remove that power later. This is a power grab and should be treated as such. E2EE makes police work more inconvenient but it shoul
