I do agree that local policies are important, but I'm wary of "Nothing happening in the federal governemnt or the middle east or eastern Europe affects me from a local standpoint." If there's a theme to US politics these

The original Wing Commander was like that. Playable on 286s/386s, then Pentiums and beyond showed up and it was unplayable. The game started in the "simulator" to show you the controls, and you'd get blown out of space

No, we threw it away because executives wanted their control fantasy of being able to push people around like little chess pieces, as opposed to setting a vision, hiring professionals, and then giving them the tools to achieve the vision an

Source that cars are buildable for a few thousand dollars to the existing laws? Even the Slate truck is $25,000 because safety features are required.

It's sadly also an attitude I'm not surprised to see coming out of tech, given how many people don't seem to get that "I got into this field so I could interact with computers, not people" is supposed to be a joke.

Few things enrage me like the smell of cannabis on the highway after it was legalized in my state. Sure, hypothetically, that's the passenger. But more likely than not, it's DUI.

The problem is "fandoms" as a whole have now become such toxic hellscapes I'd rather just enjoy the game/movie/TV series myself and completely ignore what anyone else's opinion of it is. I don't need thing

The percentage of jobs that are actually bullshit as opposed to the percentage of jobs the person making the claim thinks are bullshit merely because they are not that person's own job. Which is, of course, conveniently never a bullshi

Magic Leap 2 and HoloLens 2 proved that we still haven't cracked the code on AR/XR. Similar price point, plenty of feasible enterprise use cases for folks willing to pony up money to hire Unity or Unreal devs. And I'm sure

You can't expect factory workers to magically turn into nurses. Sure, people can learn new things, but human skillsets are not entirely fungible.

. . . so other devices are required to have the same interface? No, they're not. Just because you want to share enough design cues to make people understand they're dealing with the same brand doesn't mean you have to hamme

"We" have not "decided" anything other than collectively making decisions about what we are willing to pay for a given service. That ultimately is what sets wages. The only reason software development pays so well is b

It either turns into hating that thing or a place where mildly criticizing that thing gets you banned. Or a place where telling someone they're full of it as tactfully as you can still gets you banned or your post deleted for "in

AI today is like the internet in 1999. It will eventually become useful, but we need to crash out of the hype phase first.

Especially lately, it seems to be fashionable to dump on Americans as somehow odd, weird, and afraid of things we supposedly shouldn't be. So much for "tolerance."

"Drinking alcohol" does not necessarily equate to "getting drunk." At least if you're a grown adult and not in undergrad anymore.

I'm glad I don't live in a place where one beer would cause that. Several, yes, that's certainly an issue. But so much of the world seems to have lost the ability to be reasonable in favor of black-and-white thinking. For t

This entire comment is conflating "overregulation" with "no regulation" when these are not at all the same things. Oh, and with an extra seasoning of Murica Bad on the side.

I had a classmate in the military whose old car got t-boned and so he went and bought a used white Ford Crown Victoria (for the non-US folks, used to be the most common US police car ~10-15 years ago). He had funny stories about people slow

The street I live on also has a "henge," and it's annoying as all get-out because I have to drive up a big hill with the setting sun in my face to get home.

A plague on both their houses. Two major cults shouting past each other and a bunch of minor looneybins. Both parties would cast me out for heresy for some of my beliefs and opinions. Why volunteer for that?
