   Exactly, hindsight is 20/20. This reminded me of a friend of mine fixing a coding issue that was impacting performance. Fixing it saved a lot of money and it was the initiative of the engineer to bring it up. The response of the (at th

   I am assuming those numbers were self-reported. Happy to be corrected otherwise.

   If the premise I put forward is true you won't be able to pay rent without a job because rent after UBI would be $previous_rent + $UBI.

   Still waiting for someone to explain why the UBI won't just increase the price of all real state / rent to be $price_before + $UBI. When seen in that light, it would not be surprising that people with many assets support it.

   I don‘t think it was exaggerated when Europe needed the Marshal plan to reconstruct. You can check the scale in dollars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan In many cities bombs are still routinely found and de

   As a counterexample, I would say Blender is even more complicated and is doing very well with the same model. Of course, it started as commercial software but still.

    Or emit events and have listeners for them. Something more similar to message passing and, incidentally, one of the original definitions of OOP.

    Principia Mathematica for sure. Other, like visual proofs would pass this test better I believe.

    I like this take. I would only change "by making it succeed" with "by not running out of money", which in my mind have slightly different connotations.

    It is common to load the variables inside the django setting files from an env files. This way in different environments you can have different values, and the secrets are not committed to the repository, but managed externally.

    Original Twitter, updating from SMS was referred to as the "realtime web". The fact that someone could share some news immediately from sms (hence the length limitation) before smartphones were common place was a genuine novelty.

    All of those (apart from intenseness hehe) are consequences of using a decent type system. I don’t think people ignore that IME.

    You are appealing to authority (and ad hominem) without giving an argument. I respectfully disagree, and will remove myself from this conversation.

    I do not think you made those arguments before. I agree in spirit with the person you were responding too. AI lacks the physicality to be a real danger. It can be a danger because of bias or concentration of power (what regulations are tryi

    Your arguments apply to other fields, like genetic modifications, yet there it does not reach the same conclusions. Your post appeals to science and logic, yet it makes huge assumptions. Other posters mention how an AI would interface with
