“This is absolutely horrific and they should be ashamed… so anyway, just out of curiosity, do you think we could do something like this?” Hypocrisy at it’s finest.

I disagree. There’s a ton of diversity in web development currently. I don’t think there’s ever been so many language and framework choices to build a web app. The argument is that we lose this diversity as more people rely on AI and choose

I'm a little (not a lot) concerned that this will accelerate the adoption of languages and frameworks based on their popularity and bury away interesting new abstractions and approaches from unknown languages and frameworks. Taking you

By this logic: - I buy stock that doesn't perform how I expected. - I hire someone to produce art. - I pay a lawyer to represent me in court. - I pay a registration fee to play a sport expecting to win. - I buy a gift for someone expec

I’d be happy if they just paid their fair share of tax and stopped acting like they were self-made when they really just piggybacked on public funds and research. There’s zero acknowledgment or appreciation of public infra and research.

Most investment in crypto is just gambling. It's all FOMO and snake oil. There are some stocks for which I'd say the same though (TSLA).

I would be even more specific and say that Lina Khan sees government differently than most Republicans and Democrats.

AI poisoning might be the answer, but it needs a business case. Some sort of SaaS that artists can pay for to process their content that will flood and poison the crawlers.

> And not everything is scam, there are good projects. I don't disagree, but at this point it has to be like 90% of crypto products are scams, and that number is still increasing. They're simply running out of people to scam. T

Probably, but it would be much less reasonable for the state to enforce outside of school (both for practical and ideological reasons).

Well I don’t live in or operate a business in the EU and none of my customers are in the EU. I did start looking into it out of curiosity, but TBH it wasn’t obvious what I needed to do, if anything. I doubt most Europeans know much about Ca

You're assuming maliciousness. I run a site that uses cookies (encrypted session cookie) so they can add items to a cart, because not doing so would be a horrible UI. There's also a cookie created by the payment processor, but I o

There's a peer / social issue at play as well though. If you believe that smart phones are disastrous for kids (I happen to think so), and don't allow your 13yo daughter to have one, you are pretty much forcing her to be the

I doubt credit card purchases will be an option once we start seeing a lot of chargebacks. They are an absolute pita to deal with for the vendor and processor. I expect your payment options will be limited to those that don’t allow chargeba
