I have lived and attended school in Bolivia, and let me say, South America has a dictator tendency. It's no surprise that this is what may be being attempted in Brazil. At the same time the history of most South American countries is o

"unhoused residents"... I mean don't tell me that if you treat people who do this with baby gloves that you are not asking for this. When your heart breaks for this kind of behavior, you are literally enabling it. And sure, t

In the high 90's... which ironically and sadly is not great for a software engineering career. I would compare this to being a passionate artist and then realizing commercial art is the antithesis of creating good art. It's a cont

That would just be the default configuration. Eventually almost everyone wants to customize according to their own needs, and this adds a lot of value.

That's true, and I think it would need to be paired with some other features like having one account per person IRL, but it wouldn't be enforced unless the account is accused of being a bot. There are of course privacy concerns he

This could work but I think it would need to have a threshold of say 3 free posts a day. If you want to post more it's 2c or w/e each time. Additionally, there could be some solution around crowd sourcing the detection of humans.

My take is that this happens because the industry at large, especially web, does not treat engineers as proper engineers, and instead makes engineers do all sorts of other work. This leads to the type of engineering work that accumulates a

I think people are being a bit cynical with that take, although it's not completely unfounded. There are other factors like new technologies that are overall better, and also restructuring of teams due to people leaving and/or lay

Yes, absolutely agree. Games being art means that it's about the artists who create the art. When companies treat the teams like any other software project it messes with the talent that produced the success in the first place. It woul

This is how we know it wasn't sponsored. If a reviewer never has negative reviews, then it's safe to assume they always get sponsored and reviews are not truthful or honest. I think there is another meta-observation here, that som

Taking out a bad loan is not smart. Not being able to pay it back is not smart. We can argue whether this is good or not, but certainly these people are not smart or they would have solved the problem or avoided it in the first place.

Not only you won't get it back, you're helping pay the cancellation.

> Do you think that treating people poorly and outright discriminate against them based on racism is only an ideological issue? Actually, yes, because racism is an ideology and a world view that says your own race/lineage is better.

It's a form of communism/marxism but it's hard to explain in short (by design). It's basically an ideology that has substituted class struggle with race and identity struggle. There are oppressors and there are oppressed

Football (soccer) is much harsher than it looks. It's not just headers but also falling down while sprinting full speed is dangerous and can be very painful even though it looks like you just rolled on the a ground a bit. You can also

I had a 24 hour outage last year (PGE bay area). 9 hours is manageable, buy a cooler and/or eat whatever will spoil. Make sure your devices are charged or know where to go to charge them.

Definitely true. The only way this is not true is if by some miracle we get an emergent property at a ridiculously large scale, and even then it could be something that could be simplified, which means that scale is at best a way of stumbl

Where are the numbers showing this soft on crime method works? Everything on the ground proves otherwise, and it seems politicians are trying to gaslight people for some reason. This is actually outrageous and it's taking advantage of

Why would you think humans cannot be taught creativity? Ever heard of art schools? In fact, I would say all humans are creative to some extent. Everyone applies it differently, some are creative in the kitchen, others can tell funny jokes.

I wish we could just go back to doing the work and going home. The workplace is increasingly a substitute for almost every aspect of your life, from socializing to morality. I don't want to start my own company just to avoid the mental

Isn't the distinction about parallelism? CPU has more built-in logic while GPU is about running the same computations in parallel.

I don't think this is about safety though. Some laws are justified, but answering emails after hours seems a bit of a stretch. Someone getting physically injured is bad enough to require a law, but someone getting a little more stresse

An employer can fire employees for literally no reason, right? Even if there are protected categories of people that could sue an employer for unjust termination, this can be easily circumvented. If people can be fired for no reason, then d

I don't think they care. SF has always been a strange city but the past 10 years it feels like there has been some kind of top down political experiment happening that maximizes the amount of chaos, like more homeless people, more crim

This is not about whether that is a problem or not, but rather whether the government should be the one fixing it. These type of issues are very murky and have a lot of subtle exceptions, there is no way they can create a law that would pro

This is an ironic attempt at solving micromanagement. The politicians themselves are micromanaging society, trying to create all kinds of stupid laws that backfire over and over again. What's next, are they going to try and pass laws o
