Zuck had no idea what he was doing, and a lot of these guys don't learn some basic things until much later on, or never do. When you have that kind of growth and that kind of money, frankly it's different anyhow - riding an explos

There are places in the world where citizens have high levels of concientiousness. Obviously there's a threshold problem in most of urban USA. There's sufficient pedestrian concientousness maybe in Salt Lake City or some small New

The psychological aspect of 'purity' in this concept is as interesting as anything. I think that devs are naturally prone to be obsessive compulsive about such things. We can see 'defeating the borrow checker' as a 1st o

Perfectionism can be a drag, so be careful about that. Also finding 'good enough' is a nice skill.

I suggest not using the term 'propaganda' in this context becuase in all but very specific cases, that would be the wrong term. MSNBC doens't generally run 'propaganda' for Pfizer, so much as they will avoid stories

The media is mostly in service for themselves. The 'powers that be' bias is a bit different and takes mant forms. Aka institutional powers (aka Dem/GOP), individual institutional powers (aka stop a story from embarrassing a c

Good, we need to stop being naive. Obvoiusly they do. They are clickbait and narrative drive, almost all of them. Even those with high journalistic standards can be heavily misleading. MSNBC has high journalistic standards (and some brillia

2000 dot-com crash, 1992 recession, the 1970's were horrible. The issue right now is 'education and housing' costs which at least in part have something to do with our much longer than planned life expectancy and built up hou

They just need to fix their donkey ass app and it would be fine. My god man so many big companies have such crazy shit show experiences, it really makes me wonder. I think once you have people addicted or 'needing' something, then

That's not an 'easter egg' that's someone licking your ear, one of most subtley annoying things I've ever seen on a web site. Like an alarm clock in the locked closet you cannot open to turn off the alarm.

It doesn't matter what their 'objectives' are really. Yeah they are not worried about our 'detection limits' and definitely not 'wasting our resources'. They might possibly be hoping to pick up some F22 si

While I might have been in some ways sympathetic, the Panthers were a violent, armed, (Marxist-Lenninist) Communist radical group that had ambitions to overthrow some parts of governance, they got into shootouts with and killed police offic

Capitalism lead to the demise. Capitalism is 'mutual' aid, we just exchange with 'aid credits' aka 'money' and it's vastly more efficient because people can choose their form of 'aid': books, foo

The CCP monitors everyone (including you and I), and we live in an interconnected world, this idea of 'they're not about to invade' is not really the point. If China had it's way, they would not 'invade' Taiwan

If you write an 'algorithm' that copies someone's art and distributes it - then you are infringing. It doesn't matter if you 'automated it' and the word 'art' doesn't really apply so much either

This is definitely the Marie Antoinette argument. It doesn't matter what 'a lot of people think art is' it matters what artists think, and what our rights are. I don't see how any corporation should be able to consume so

The 'problematic people' are those who do not have the capacity to realize the difference between authoritarian regimes and their internal apparatus, vs the need state security with oversight. These people are usually naively driv

"the oversight/limits you're protected by could disappear some day, they're imaginary and socially constructed." This is the straw man of all straw mans. You could have a Totalitarian Overlord someday, after all it&

Having it shot down is not a consequence. Diplomatic or economic retribution of some kind would be a consequence.

They are 'touchable', there is oversight, and their powers are very limited. Give me an example of Americans who have been materially harmed by those agencies? And what was the damage? Have Americans been oppressed, slandered for

Moral relativism between US and China is unfathomable. They are not remotely comparable on the whole. China has a Dictator, a total absence of a Justice System, total surveillance and censorship, and large swaths of the population of some r

There are UI templates that are generally better than this because everything is tightly integrated from a design perspective. I suggest this might be fun for ideatio though.

I think this sentiment is misplaced. Both Google and MS are about to rewire their businesses in a more than superficial way to accomodate this kind of 'search'. Yes - a lazy incumbency won't want to adjust their algorithms -

Sam Altman is not a 'ChatGPT founder' and he's the PR man for a research institution, not a business, so he's should be wary of comparing his org. to Google. Though he's obviously right. What's interesting is t

Putin thought he could roll into Kyiv like the USSR did in Hungary and Czech, and like he did in Crimea. Bloodless coup. Massive show of strength no rational person would try to fight. The entire world thought Ukraine was going to collapse.

Yes and no. Yes, finally we are going to see a shift, but their 'dominance' is not going to necessarily change that much in some kind of 'step function'. I suggest that Siri is about to get a lot better, and act more lik

Guides are not a 'crutch' they are the invisible framework of the page. Guides might be a problem or inhibiting in classical design, but not web design where breaking the rules set by the guides will usually cause problems.

"I never once heard anyone mention this rule. " That's because designers use guides. Things that line up with guides, line up with other things. So putting it as the later, aka 'lining up with other things' becomes
