I assume people believe claims like this with zero evidence because it is convenient and alleviates any cognitive dissonance (re: Democrats being for the little guy and not just as 'corrupt' as Republicans). If SBF did donate the

My first thought reading that headline was to remember what they just did in Canada last year, so I don't think it's hijacking so much as people being indulgent. But I guess all it takes to be 'hijacked' or 'brigade

It's incredible because the business model also implies they will always sell an inferior product alongside the upgraded premium one. It's like running a restaurant where I sell grilled "cheese" for $5 and you pay me an

Wow, real insightful snarky comment. I got tired of this nonsense when Texans were doing it to Californians over wildfires and their own power failures. And I got even more tired of it when Californians did it to Texans.

Interesting you didn't engage with those other replies then. Why is that?

It's already been pointed out to you that when people say "Ministry of Truth", they're referring to the defunct "Disinformation Governance Board" created within the DHS. You chose to ignore that.

In my extensive experience of optimizing stuff it is right. I cannot even count how many issues were created downstream of the decision to start caching X, Y, or Z. At a point, every other software engineer gets the bright idea to cache t

Doubtful they sell at a profit. But do they allow developers for their apps (or whatever they're called, skills I think) to charge money and then take a cut just like any other app store? I'd imagine like any other new product, th

These AB tests where they force you to engage in some new medium of content that they want you to become accustomed to is reminiscent of that scene in A Clockwork Orange where they force Alex to watch film of violent images. https:/

She was referring to the type of math that she did to earn a math degree, which I suppose could be true. My math degree did not require any of the kind of math I assume they do at these kinds of exchanges, although I also assume that the wh

Would you mind explaining this a bit further? I'm out of the loop here and don't know anything about Twitter's costs before or after Musk's purchase.

I deleted my Facebook in 2016, and the only reason I've ever wanted to go back was for Marketplace and Events functionality. And if I wanted to keep up with people's feeds, I'd use Instagram (roughly the same thing, I know, b

Seems like a high enough bar to me. I know zero people like this, despite the article assuring me that we all know someone like this. If I did know someone like this, I suppose I'd think of them as my "coffee friend" or rathe

> Porn is enjoyable, but pales in comparison to a real interaction with a real live person. I find this to be true as well, but I would wager many strongly disagree with this statement based on their own experiences.

As I don't understand the full scope of the problem, I fail to understand why license plate readers are going to help much. Further, I refuse to believe that when these cases of retail theft occur, the stores attacked are not getting f

I actually think that your comment is probably saying something similar to the above. It potentially is about 1 in 100 as you state, but the timing of it makes it far less likely for 1 in 100 to work out because both people may not actual

I'd probably appreciate this humor more if I hadn't experienced the web before design frameworks existed. Bootstrap was a step in the right direction, and while I don't think anyone owes it any level of respect for that, I re

I suppose it's a good question, but I'd also ask people to justify why they think it isn't private. Really though, I haven't thought about this question much. I'll give it a shot: I were going on a first date, and t

Or to make up for the $834/month, you need another ~$25k of pre-tax income if you follow a 40% rule, ~$30k for 33%, or ~$50k for 20%.

Depends on the locality, but as far as I know, most cities in the US have a "transfer tax" that is some percentage of the home sale price. It varies quite a bit in different cities and can also be 'progressive' in some c

Too much harm for the Federal government to stomach when interest payments surpass tax revenue. Either tax hikes or spending cuts would have to occur, or go further into debt to pay interest on debt (???)

Yeah, looks like the intended market is explicitly people who are already homeowners, in CA or WA, and have space for an ADU in the backyard, which they could use as supplemental income for renting. This is probably also why they point out
