I don't think "better" really had to be proved. The same but aligned with your org strategy is perfectly acceptable given these sorts of technology choices are often driven by exogenous and wooly factors like licensing, your

It's very odd how quickly people fall back on emotional claims to attack this. Like we're engineers, if you can point at concrete problems with this rewrite I'd love to hear them. Obviously Jared is going to give the positive

It's not under appreciated in the UK and Ireland where you can only buy tiny quantities of it at a time. Cash registers will literally refuse to process a sale if there is more than one pack of acetaminophen in your groceries. On the p

I've worked in support and built support products. I've seen so many people come into the space and make this same mistake. Support is not a value centre. There are some useful signals buried in there but most of the interactions

I really don't understand why anyone who has the means to buy a decent dry herb vape smokes it. I have a friend who's a daily smoker who just refuses to make the change. Has an absolutely terrible cough and yet he persists with sm

If I have cannabis on hand I will use it. But if I just don't buy it it's pretty easy to do without. Nothing at all like nicotine, which will consume your entire consciousness with cravings.

Something that really helped me understand how similar and yet bizarrely alien the 1920s are to modern eyes was watching the films of Buster Keaton. They're still pretty entertaining and relatable and all available for free on YouTube.

The administration will do almost anything if asked, so long as the person asking is willing to offer tribute.

The crazy thing here is that 4 supposedly conservative Supreme Court justices wanted to overturn over a century of precedent on how the constitution was interpreted.

So the US should kick out the Amish?

You mean the EVs and spaceflights that were funded by government subsidies?

Capitalism has spent the last 10 years burning billions on the metaverse and crypto with apparently no repercussions for those involved so I think their credibility as custodians of wealth is questionable.

An hour of fairly vigorous cardio every day will give you what, 3-400 kcals of extra calories to play around? Something you can easily overcome by eating a donut, which you will absolutely crave after that hour and feel you deserve. Exercis

"They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish" For all the stuff about free dentists this sounds pretty right wing to me.

Came here to say the same thing. It's simple to clean all the water you consume, cleaning all the air you breathe is impossible unless you want to walk around like Bane. Bizarre that they don't mention this when comparing respirat

Honestly shocked its as high as 40%. I assume that's by value not transaction count.

I am Irish and in my experience most people use debit cards these days. I have a credit card but almost never use it.

The point is that standardisation can act as an impediment to innovation. People then use creative engineering to remain technically compliant. This ultimately leads to hidden or hard to detect risks because everything is "to standard&

Brings its own risks. See the 737max debacle. Now imagine that but causing a massive radiation leak and requiring all your power stations to be be put offline while a fix is found.

Starmer being an ideologue is a pretty funny take. I think most people would say he failed because he's a technocrat with no descernible principles or ideas.

Not a chance i'll be handing my id over to Persons. So what are the alternatives for AI coding these days?

Indeed, they have all the intellectual rigour of Kipling's Just So Stories, and should be treated with as much seriousness.

In retrospect native apps were a terrible idea. I try to use web apps as much as possible.

I don't really buy that there's a strong anti EU sentiment in Europe. I don't think its supported by facts. The UK was always an outlier in Europe and only joined when forced by Economic reality, which they will be again in 2

Is that the only way? It seems conceivable to me that you could have some sort of publicly run infrastructure that asserts your age is above some threshold without sharing your identity. So long as that system recorded no log of who asked i
