I agree with everything you said except I would simply add that "the average freelance designer online" is simply an AI meat proxy (which does, by definition, make them worse than AI since you could just use AI in the first place

This triggers a much bigger question for me - why does nothing happen to these authors based on this feedback? I don't mean "oh you missed a meeting or withdrew your paper so you get fired" by any means, but why isn't th

I'm not sure what point your trying to make? I would also say trying to abridge speech is generally "un-American" as well as "anti-American." Are you trying to differentiate between the two terms? Or are you saying

I'm skimming the "Aftermath" section and I'm not seeing where Biden's inauguration was cancelled or Trump retained power or anything else? If Trump "refused to peacefully transfer power" how was power peac

I mean, to pick what is perhaps the easiest example, wanting to abridge speech is anti-American by its very definition. It is possible to have a thing that is anti-American. So I'm not sure what good it is to reject the term altogether

I can understand why you would think this - or rather, why you'd want to think this - because it lets you lean really hard into the "Republicans dumb lol" trope. But just to pick two of your examples, there are plenty of es

This also has the added benefit of making a lot of money even by engineering standards in the right organization. Looks for large enterprise companies where custom demos and new customer hypercare are standard. I've been on the other s

You'd never had a discussion about firearms with the average person then. Good luck.

An 80% lower exists purely to comply with US gun laws. That's exactly why they're legal.

It depends on if you think private surveillance should exist to help the property owner in court, after something happens to them , e.g. the taxi driver getting robbed or the Waymo getting vandalized, or if you think private surveillance s

Don't worry we know you were alive in the 70s just from you including a hyphen in that emoticon (and everyone knows I was alive in the 90s because I said emoticon and not emoji) ;)

You're not responding to their point, though. If data centers were built only in poor areas because of classism, they're correct that there probably wouldn't be a lot of data centers in one of the richest areas in the country

I don't think a PR needs to be tens of thousands of lines for a review to take more than 20 minutes. I've worked on projects where you can't reasonably get a branch set up and running somewhere to test it within 20 minutes if

It must be nice to work on such small-scale systems that you can reasonably expect PRs to be this quick.

And the initial comment that started this was that "Purchase license" in reference to this... software license... wasn't clear. Arguing about whether you buy a hunting license or that it's not a perfect analogy seems ped

And the license is not perpetual. It can expire or be revoked. Are you suggesting that "Purchase license" is somehow unclear and "Pay a fee and we will issue you a license" is clearer?

Austin is the 12th most populous city so it's possible they're just wrong but probably not.

There are a couple reasons (not the least of which is political will but that's a separate discussion). Jacksonville sits on a coastal plain and is almost entirely fine sand. You simply can't build a subway in that without astrono

If Google is right they live in Jacksonville, which aside from being a terrible place to live in general, can't physically or geographically support subways or light rail. So you're basically limited to busses if you want to imple
