Eh, I think it's reasonable to have different expectations of children vs adults. After all, isn't there a reason why children can't sign legally binding contracts?

>Second, there’s the matter of how extensively Robux (Roblox’s in-app currency) are used to navigate the creator economy. Roblox creators are paid first by receiving a cut of Robux that comes from the sale, which they can use to purchase

You might have a point but it also strikes me as odd to give equity based comp to warehouse workers. Do warehouse workers actually have any way to improve the ability of Amazon to make profit besides simply working faster?

Does it? Weight loss methods include a lot of pseudo science and I think it's important to keep in mind that whatever low fat or low carb or paleo diet you try is ultimately only going to succeed if you lower your calorie intake or rai

This is gish gallop. Mixing together a bunch of weak arguments does not create a strong argument.

Wouldn't a good solution for this be to require significant training for emotional support animals? There are certainly potential issues of disenfranchisement created by simply raising the bar of qualifying for special treatment, but i

All animals or just emotional support animals? Well trained support animals seem both less common and more important, but unfortunately they're still animals.

Good thing we don't use semiconductors in anything more important then.

Ok but point to the part of that comment which was evidence? Claiming that the results of ag subsidies have been "nightmarish" with no further elaboration or citation does nothing to advance the conversation, it's simply a s

Sure, but pontificating on government inefficiencies doesn't actually improve supply chain weakness either.

by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
Then what's the solution? Seems like the government is the only entity that can intervene if market forces are counter to supply chain resilience. This is partially the justification for agricultural subsidies in the US, so clearly the

Doesn't disabling the account kind also defeat the whole purpose? I mean assuming the purpose is to catch child abusers and not merely to use this particular boogeyman to introduce a back door for later use.

I don't see how. They're hashing on feature space (so trivial cropping and such doesn't defeat this) but they have two totally separate methods of matching those hashes? Doesn't sound right to me...

Does it matter? Unless they're going to totally change the technology I don't see how they can do anything but buy time until it's reverse engineered. After all, the code runs locally. If Apple wants to defend this they shoul

Isn't the number of people living paycheck to paycheck more a measure of how few people save money vs how many people work more than they need to? I imagine plenty of people fall into both categories.

Nothing says growth like blowing a bunch of money on unproductive assets.

Doesn't this mean that if I were to get bitten by an infected tick the odds of contracting limes disease would be at least 4x lower? Seems like a big difference to me even at the low end of the range. Maybe I'm misapplying the eff

Are these incredibly expensive or have a regulatory hurdle or something? I feel like we've been seeing increasingly sophisticated demos like this for over a decade now and yet nothing has really made it to market that I can tell. Maybe

How does banning the import of secondhand clothing reduce waste? Unless you can prevent westerners from getting rid of clothes in the first place this really seems like paying people to dig and refill holes. Work for the sake of work.

This is not very readable. It seems to mix irony and sarcasm into a long and meandering informative piece. The effect seems to be that this is a real slog of a read unless you share a bunch of preconceptions and assumptions with the author.

I think awareness about the negative environmental effects of agriculture and specifically cattle and other animals used for meat is at least much more prevelant than it used to be. The concrete thing probably still flies under the radar th

My favorite is when they call me to ask where I'm going and then cancel if it's not within 5 minutes of city center or an airport. I'm guessing uber is relaxing their requirements just to keep drivers around

That's a silly strawman. Nobody is claiming that happiness exists literally. And it's intangible nature does nothing to prevent us from measuring or maximizing aggregate happiness.

Except that it's a lie. Not accepting new feature requests is one thing, but what actually seems to be happening is that new code has been accepted into the master which then never sees the light of day. Hiding behind "well we don

What makes it ripe for disruption? My understanding is that the most effective response to wildfires is simply to not build flammable structures too close to forests.

Not really. The US is a common law system. The letter of the law is secondary to judicial opinions by definition.
