Neither of these claims are true. Miranda rights apply to criminal arrests but immigration arrests are typically civil. The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to a lawyer during critical stages such as interrogation and court proceedings on

Sorry but the sociopolitical unrest of the last decade has been caused by the problems we have created not by people talking about it. Money need not be involved, just look at how corrupt and biased Wikipedia has become.

I don't like the word “stupid”. It carries a moral judgement and in the context of this post is never defined. I don’t see any falsifiable claims made here. The author seems to be projecting their own above average intelligence onto ot

The thing is, if AI agents become a significant part of web traffic then the content of the web will simply shift to manipulate the agent instead of the human. And don’t forget when you use an AI agent today to buy something it’s using “mar

But it can’t really power “14 houses” because people in those houses are consuming external services such as those provided by your racks. Unless your racks can only serve 14 customers.

Those are the best reasons, but companies are also acquired for marketing, hype, to relieve a sense of fear, to curry favour, etc…

I already have a little voice in my head that tells me those things! That said, if we could automate it, it might free up more of my brain for productivity…

The government of Europe is afraid of losing their censorship regime, and thus their hold on power.

Nah Putin is exactly the guy we’ve been saying he was for literally decades. Wishful thinking from Merkel is not an excuse.

Censorship is not the “right thing to do” though. Just look at how it’s been abused in recent years.

People don’t move to places without ordinary people for “services”. That’s not how social networks work.

This. It’s so obvious when you think about it, but everybody wants a free lunch.

CRDT falls flat for rich text editing though. So many nasty edge cases and nobody has solved them all, despite their claims.

Large organisations had access to subscription software long before modern SaaS, and chose to use it. In the 1990s Microsoft offered an Enterprise Agreement that operated in this manner. Support is also something that large organisations va

Where do governments get their money from? Taxes on economic activity. The more economic activity the government performs itself, the less opportunity there is to raise tax revenue. Take this through to its logical conclusion and you have t

It's not the null that's the issue, it's the type system. As long as you have algebraic data types you can have safe null. Ocaml's `None | Some of int` has the same basic meaning as TypeScript's `number | undefined`

Over time I’ve come to see LISP less as the natural collapse of artificial boundaries but the artificial collapse of natural ones. Where and how data is stored is a real concern, but where and how the program is stored isn’t. Security bound
