If you're building bridges, this shouldn't be a controversial statement. Same if you're building cryptography software. It's debatable if the same should apply to the vast majority of software that is less critical.

There's a meta joke in here somewhere about going to a rave and expecting it to be the same norms as the rest of the world.

100% agree here. City builders for me eschew individual citizens in favor of group statistics, to oversimplify it.

Misleading headline. This is layoffs, not a redesign.

I’d love to see the debate over adding 6k salaries for Congress. That’d be a hoot and the likely plan of attack for the dissenters.

The boilerplate really does get out of hand sometimes. “There isn’t X. We built X.” Really wish more folks would stick to the older “I couldn’t find X so I built it.”

Nope, you moved the goalpost here from “who defeated the Nazis”. I am fine with your new claim of who suffered the most.

It does matter because of the side effects (pollution, etc.). The environment and how it affects humanity is a complex system with many variables. Both generation and consumption are in there.

Can you elaborate on what you mean, or did you just want to state those numbers? No one is arguing that the US fought on the Eastern Front.

> There's a strong case that they didn't even defeat the nazis, that was done by the Soviets. With Lend-Lease equipment. No matter what way you cut it, multiple nations defeated the Nazis together.

This. If I go up to my boss and say “I spent $10000 but it only cost us $1000” then I spent $1000.

Religions generally stick to the standard “the old ways are whatever the last few generations taught, and the modern/liberal religions will be the old ways in a few generations”. Very few parts are not influenced by culture.

I have to admit, my first somewhat sarcastic thought was what they will do about content involving murder, adultery, theft, not honoring your mother and father, etc.

You're forgetting that you need coffee/tea/mate to fuel the button pushers. The Jetsons predicted this decades ago.

I know it's just marketing speak, but the term made me think of the scenes in the Matrix where what's left of humanity (ignoring all the cyclical lore that was added on top of it) has to make sure the machines can't remote in

While they contributed, they were still following the market trend anyway. If they weren't letting folks use it directly, other companies would have (and are).

The wording is certainly confusing here, but yes the calories don’t matter as much as the form. Eating protein and fats simply give you minimal useful calories during the race. Even most carbs won’t be useful if they are more complex.

Obligatory “have Claude write one for you” (in jest of course). All kidding aside, folks have always underestimated how much accessibility helps even those who don’t think they need it.
