Can you elaborate? What is UWP and why did devs not like it? All the critique i see with a quick google comes from game devs.

I’m not sure why the GDP is a concern, frankly. How does this affect citizens in a material way? That is why I keep bringing up the 401k—to illustrate the absurdity of using an abstract measurement (GDP) to justify material loss of life.

Honestly that distinction had never even occurred to me—I was envisioning possible concern over giving access to sensitive personal information to a for-profit multinational.

I’m not quite sure of your point—the cart was obviously found in a swamp and would have been poorly suited to hauling things up “steep hills”. I would at least have used a spoked wheel if I were arguing the obvious need of a handcart, the w

I don't believe we even have evidence whether or not the olmec culture had a state. If you're looking for a better narrative, "time" is a decent one. I don't believe there's much evidence of ergonomic hand cart

How do you figure—where would the threat come from? We can certainly still produce necessary goods while the majority of the workforce stays home. In that light—every industrialized country, probably. Certainly other countries every where y

It's hard for me to see society being able to self-critique via social media as a bad thing—newspaper headlines have certainly been exploiting the same linguistic tricks you point out for centuries. I don't see why it's bad t

Furthermore the land in southeast mexico is very hilly, and when it's not, it's often swampy or waterlogged (or was at the time of the maya). It's certainly more straightforward to use barges. Related, I very much recommend t

You might look up what happened to ferguson protest organizers: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/puzzling-number-men-tie... I’m not going to claim that these were all retributive, but I can certainly understan

Obviously a “values” question, but if “tackling collectivized problems collectively” ain’t on the government’s list, I’m not sure why I’m paying taxes, and our government’s bi-partisan efforts to collectively address this pandemic are cur

Honestly, I wish I could just remove commercial results from google as part of the query. Some terms are essentially now useless because the first N pages are just ecom sites. Google definitely knows which sites are commercial because they’

I think the ship has sailed for that kind of support from the government, unfortunately, in no small part due to reopening.

Somehow I don’t have your confidence—I haven’t even gone inside the bars. Anyway I’m not worried for myself, I’m gonna be fine in all likelihood—it’s my at-risk friends and family.

Additionally, mask usage is seriously high at these protests. I’ll literally be marching down the street and see folks on rooftop bars, beers in hand, elbow to elbow, not a mask in sight. that scares me more than a protest where you can f

Sure, valid opinion, but I sure ain’t staking my security reputation on the quality of this forum, doubly so since it operates on many hidden and user-hostile rules to get to this debatable quality that I can’t audit. Frankly I just don’t t

with all these corporate products the motivation is to provide new features, not strengthen their (often very mediocre) core. In a security light this is just making more vulnerabilities, especially since zoom is using an unsafe language fo

Incredibly is right! I'm curious how they arrive at that conclusion—what's an acceptable amount of harm to justify infrastructure neglect? The article you linked appears to be about comparing treated water to "raw water"
