This. The left needs to admit that they are guilty of this too and exercise forbearance to stop this cycle if they lucky enough to get the chance.

If we make it through this intact and another, more serious and compassionate group of adults manage to regain legislative power they absolutely must exercise forbearance try to curtail the power of the President to rule through Executive O

Even if this take has merit, the approach taken here is simply cruel. There are ways the Administration could have implemented a "cross-the-board stop/cut" that would not be so devastating to so many /millions/ of p

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Who is physically doing the homeschooling? The rich tech people? Their spouses? It sounds like what he is criticizing is just extra-private private schooling or something like that. As distinct from home

This is the best statement of the problem. A lot of folks on this thread are importing the idea from computers or math that there is a _right answer_ to expressing laws in written language. But this point of view ignores the vast diversity

As with most difficult things, you have to learn by doing. For well-established board games, the best solution is to watch an intro video and then play a few rounds using an online version like BGA if it's available. For non-well estab

I would love to see the party registration breakdown of these recent buys. It would be wonderful irony if suddenly buying EVs has become trendy among the right-leaning crowd.

This is the bottom line and it has been obvious since the first time I ever put a VR headset on my head 10 years ago. Today's products, even AVP, are way, WAY too big and inconvenient in 50 different little ways to be seriously used fo

To put a finer point on this, the capitalistic enterprises that many are very excited about and believe will solve problems via the invisible hand, may not not pursue basic research because you can't demonstrate potential profit in it

I expect we will see detailed forensics published by various third parties in the coming days and weeks. As to what CS itself will publish, that remains to be seen.

Perhaps a new signature technology can be used to prove (or at least lend credence to) human authorship? Something like a marriage of a digital signature with a captcha: the message has a digital signature of the sender that can be verified

Agree. This notion of hoards non-technical people using Linux is just plain silly. Obviously this doesn't work the moment these "non-technical people" venture even slightly outside a narrowly defined box of use cases.

This doesn't sound right to me. Damages are generally limited to the extent to which a contract is performed or not performed, and the non-breaching party generally has a duty to mitigate damages. So, in other words, you can't con

This is the way. Easy solution when forced to do business with actors with dark cancellation patterns. Also good when forced to do archaic practices like writing credit card numbers on a form or saying them over the phone.

Whether CS grads know this or that tech is irrelevant. What matters is are they curious and how quickly they can self teach this or that tech. And besides, learning the basics of git should be an afterthought for someone being hired for a p

Your counterexample doesn’t prove that this isn’t how our minds functionally work, except better. No amount of counterexamples could.

This big shakeup could just be a garden-variety "too many big egos in the room" situation. These folks have achieved a tech celebrity status that transcends anything else I can recall in recent memory.

Also, even if this oft-repeated trump card is true, why are you so sure this is different from how our own brains functionally work?

Well, I agree that it won't happen automatically. My hope is that AI will cause the patent legal community to undergo a paradigm shift and place value on conciseness and brevity. In the US, this would require Congressional and judicial

Because the perceived value will go way down when it is common knowledge that AI is being used to generate them. My contention (that I see some people don't like!) is that they don't have much value, regardless of who writes the
