Can you explain the obviousness? Other than a lot of money being involved, what makes it "obvious" that the way corporations break the rules is more complex than the way natural persons break the rules? What makes it obvious or in

While courts take years and write multiple volumes to justify any kind of measure at all, the corporations move fast and keep changing the way they extract value from society. I'm not sure the system will ever catch up this way. Plus,

I suppose the 4 hours saving comes from a lot of people being on the non-bridge route, meaning a lot of people choose to not take the bridge. Is there any other possible reason for the 4 hours saved?

Feels like in terms of warranty, support, repairability, it's not so much that Chinese brands have advanced, but that the west has seriously regressed. Every company now is looking to lock me out of my own hardware, extract as much inf

If there is no regulator, the company with the most money will use its money to prevent any deals that are inconvenient for it from taking place. Often those would be beneficial to the other parties or to the consumers. Maybe it's not

It's so weird how "AI slop" is generally recognized as a problem, as low quality and doing more harm than good, and at the same time AI is generally considered a huge great thing. How can AI itself be so great if it's ou

Complexity is bad in software. I think this kind of thing does more harm than good. I get an error that I can't assign something that seems to me assignable, and to figure out why I need to study functions at type level using tuples an

Air accidents investigations somehow seem to result in increased safety, so something can work. First idea that comes to mind is that those reports point out multiple causes usually.

How could advances in programming languages still happen when nobody is writing code anymore? You think we will just ask the AI to propose improvements, then evaluate them, and if they are good ask the AI to make training samples for the ne

There are definitely people who solder transistors by hand still. Though most not for a living. I wonder how the venn diagram looks together with the set of people designing circuits that eventually get built by machines. Maybe not as disjo

If you were a professional writer or driver, it might make sense to be able to do those things. You could still do without them, but they might make you better in your trade. For example, I sometimes drive with GPS on in areas I know very w

Since they were talking it over with customs, they would clear any flags as "we agreed on this solution because the item cost was too large to fit the message format". It's not like Google, where there's automatic inhuma

Couldn't they split it into "Oil platform part 1" "part 2" and so on? Or "Oil platform metal parts" and such. Kinda seems like one object being too large in some measure for a single message is a predictab

Unbelievable how long and convoluted the other answer is, and that it is presented as proof that the AI provided a good solution.

So you hit this bug about one and a half times in your entire career, you're not sure Java caused it or even if it was really a bug, but due to it you have a love/hate relationship and garbage collection is terrible?

If you have people who take orders from you, obviously you can accomplish much more. If you're CEO, literally everyone in the company is that. Of course they can get a lot done. Another way to see it is they themselves don't get a
