Don't let "AI" make you jump at shadows. Maybe, but probably not. The first commit was pretty fully-formed, which without "AI" glasses on just means someone did a whole bunch of work before exposing/releasing t

There are very few ways in which US governance and/or regulation leads the developed world, but a huge (and surprising) one is the 1990 (!) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It is astonishingly, transformationally inclusive , and

Ha, Julie and Julia is an excellent riposte. The previous poster might also consider all the high profile, independent, and influential publications across various subjects that grew out of blogging – e.g. HuffPo, Pitchfork, Jezebel, so man
