To me it's not the matter that "people shouldn't be doing jobs that can be automated" or "machines should do the work instead," it's that in a capitalist system, these changes are inevitable. As soon as th

Also, the first thing you see when you launch for the first time is a notification about this functionality and simple opt-out instructions. I guess ideally it would be opt-in but I definitely wouldn't classify this as sinister. VS Cod

FWIW, I replace my phone every ~4 years on average. With the XS Max, I have the latest OS with the latest security updates and a state-of-the-art web browser and an outstanding screen & audio. Admittedly it contains a bunch of technolog

This viewpoint doesn't appear to jive with the one being portrayed currently[1], that the exodus is only among the poor/middle-class and that the immigration of the rich and high-earners is actually accelerating. 1: https:/&

Cars kill people primarily due to human error in judgment or lack of attention. Mechanical or software failures causing fatalities are the overwhelming minority of cases. Remember how big of a deal the Toyota accelerator pedal recall was?

Furthermore, the 7.1% (31-44k), 8.1% (44-56k), and 10.4% (56-286k) rates seem pretty excessive when those rates could be made significantly more progressive if a new bracket between 150k and 286k were created at a decently higher marginal r

You’re both right, in that regulation serves the group that most successfully steers it. The notion that more often than not, incumbent corporations are the ones writing the regulations, is not exactly controversial. Given the recent treatm

Oh, I totally agree. I was attempting to make the point that purpose-built aircraft with more highly trained pilots still succumb to this. A random on a flying motorcycle doesn’t stand a chance.

To your point, all of those can be fatal for existing light aircraft.

HotelTonight doesn't collect money for this fee, only reservation + taxes. The resort fee is charged directly by the hotel.

How old is your version of the app? I've seen this for as long as I can remember: https://imgur.com/a/GsyPKPJ It clearly displays the resort fee in the hotel information, and before the payment.

Exactly, these rights are going to be chipped away bit by bit, action by action, over a long period of time so that eventually it just seems like the new normal. In the years before the repeal there were several enforcement actions of net n

The fact that credit scoring cannot take this into account is another failure of credit scoring models.

I don't read it like that personally. I mean, judging by some reporting[1] it sounds like the final meetings involved a framework for unionization efforts which to Amazon was probably unpalatable enough to pull out entirely just based

Spying stuff aside, I feel the bigger reason we should think long and hard about this is the same reason we don't source parts for our weapons program from foreign countries: mobile networks are now critical infrastructure and any form

That would confuse the heck out of people who would expect + to concat the arrays (I guess not much better than the current behavior of string concat) Obligatory lodash reference: _.map(_.unzip(arrays), _.sum)

I absolutely want it locally, preferably inside my IDE where it's providing type hints, allowing navigation to type declarations, and alerting me immediately to typing issues live as I'm coding.

Nord VPN handles this in a somewhat unique way among the subscription services I use. They send out an automated email 3 days before they charge for the next month. This seems like a sensible middle ground to me given the lack of infrastruc

You keep glossing over the fact that they are convincing people to vote entirely through deceit. Do the ends justify the means to you? Re: blanketing the internet, an estimated 126 million Americans were exposed to this kind of content just

I guess that depends on whether you think appealing to outrage and fear through lies and disinformation is good for Democracy. When a candidate/politician tells a lie, they can be called out on it and are (until recently) accountable t

It’s not about changing minds, it’s about making sure people get out the vote by appealing to people’s emotions through misleading statements or outright lies (they are taking away your guns, they are prdophiles!)

What's madness about this? TypeScript is a superset of Javascript, meaning any valid Javascript is automatically valid TypeScript. If you want to force type declarations, enable strict mode.

That’s not completely fair... WoW was successful because it was outstandingly polished (no other game was even close at the time) and fun to play.
