As you mention, plenty of bakeries, grocery stores are worker owned. For example rainbow grocery is not _cheap_ but the quality is high and the bulk prices are not bad. For some reason two of the biggest and best flour brands are worker own

“Never really watched them” doesn’t mean “never watched them even once”. Penn and teller had a TV show, so it could mean they caught an episode or two and weren’t into it (which, same).

Genuine question: what are the legitimate uses of a presidential pardon? It always seemed strange to me, I don’t understand it.

What’s the reasoning for no backspace? I understand not allowing edits before the current word but I am a very clumsy typer, and this made me pretty frustrated when every other word had a typo.

Yes, and I replied when it was still the original headline. I think they’re both appropriate headlines.

The /s thing is the most surefire way to make whatever joke you’re making not funny at all, so I say go ahead and be sarcastic even if not everyone gets it. And yeah, to your point about the literal interpretation of sarcasm being so a

Why shouldn’t they be conflated? Google made the LLM, it is responsible for the LLMs output. I mean, no, I don’t think some Google employee tuned the LLM to produce output like this, but it doesn’t matter. They are still responsible.

OPs point wasn’t about the exact stats, it’s just that there is a significant percentage of people in a state that don’t agree or support their government. I’d consider 38% significant.

My comment makes it clear I’m not comparing the two, I’m just saying it’s not a good argument as it does not hold for other cases.

I wouldn’t want to impose that on my children either way. I’d prefer to let nature decide. There’s no way in hell I’d want to select for straightness in my children. That is frankly insulting to me to even suggest.

That is not a simple test. Ask any straight person if they’d want to turn gay, the vast majority would say no. My guess is they’d say no if you asked the same question about their children. But I’m gay, and while there are pros and cons to

You sure? Seems to me that the person is unlicensed, as in they don’t have a license.

No, I think they’re arguing that showing seconds in the system tray shouldn’t be so inefficient that turning it off gives back double-digit percentage energy savings. I think we all agree there needs to be some additional power draw for the

You can arbitrarily enforce something with laws too. Via overly broad laws and selective enforcement. I don’t have examples, just explaining that your question is a bit too limiting.

You’re both in agreement that most meetings are unnecessary and that it would be better if meetings had a set agenda. But the other poster was saying it’s prima donna behavior to skip a meeting without asking the organizer if they can add a

I see two possible readings of your comment: 1) (less generous) a veiled suggestion that the OP should only have such strong opinions if they match your bar for expertise 2) (more generous) an off-topic question about OPs work Both are wort

Can both things be true? I have no doubt that a nationalized healthcare system would be bureaucratic and inefficient. But I also know our current system is worse by almost every metric and stays that way due to lobbying and, yes, propaganda

You really think his team didn’t plan on or even help lobby for that?

Caring about what other people think of you doesn’t actually result in other people thinking more highly of you. I have fallen into this trap (and still do from time to time) of trying to control the way other people perceive me. The thing

The op meant someone can make their own component that’s fake. Not that they’d send fake data to your service. And there’s no way to distinguish a component that uses your real social proof from someone else’s fake social proof.

You make it sound like organizing you and your peers is just virtue signaling toward the plight of the working class. It’s not virtue signaling. There are material gains that could be made by organizing. Layoff protection and the power to s

I just googled it and it looks like “n8n” is the name of the service. The op wasn’t abbreviating anything so I don’t think it’s the same phenomenon as what you’re describing.

As someone who’s worked on dark patterns like this in the past, I can assure you, difficulty of creating a new setting is not the reason for the “show this less” pattern. It’s much more simple: if a “permanently off” setting is worse for me

I think you and I have the same values but I wasn’t offended by the parent comment at all. It’s clear they meant success as in success in profit and growth, and in that lens, coops do tend towards mediocre success because incentives are dif

Okay so your definition of “smart” sounds different than the definition everyone else in this thread is using. Sounds more like you’re talking about “genius” to me, specifically in a savant type way where they are incapable of relating to a
