You will never, ever be able to spend any amount of money on any vehicle that will perpetually guarantee a 100.000% success rate for all situations you will end up in. Suddenly inherit a boat? Perhaps your towing capacity is inadequate. A r

I agree that it isn’t the most efficient manner, this is not an insurmountable issue for the vast majority of people. The cost will still be well under half the price of gas for most people driving electric sedans and crossovers. Yes, those

Anecdotally, in conversations with other drivers, it seems that far too many people overestimate their driving habits. A standard wall outlet will charge a car perfectly fine for your average driver assuming you can park the car for several

Europe isn’t this monolithic 100% hyperdense urban utopia Americans tend to think it is. There are a lot of suburbs and rural areas where people still use cars.

A landlord's mortgage simply isn't the responsibility of the tenant. The tenant's name is not on the paperwork. I chose to sell instead of renting out due to the risk of relying on someone else to maintain it's mortgage.

What is “good moderation” to you is bad moderation to someone else. It’s entirely subjective. “Bad moderation” complaints vary widely. Without elaboration, a person complaining about it gets lumped in with people also complaining about: - “

Sure it’s possible, but is it likely ? I’d argue the bigger issue is bogus reviews in favor of landlords. Open Google Maps, pick any apartment complex. You’ll see lots of 4-5 stars for “Great tour!” “Staff were so friendly to show me aroun

Immediate, short-term perception of value doesn’t matter for long-term strategy. I suppose we’ll see in 2-3 years how many businesses maintain their newly found focus on “AI”. I’m betting that the organizations that aren’t employing interna

The current valuation of Bitcoin has nothing to do with whether business models attempting an inclusion or pivot to crypto was successful because most businesses completely dropped their attempts.

This isn’t a reasonable critique of the unpaid moderation model — the same model we’ve had since long before Reddit. Reddit has had several notable high quality subreddits entirely because of user moderation, and is able to host niche inter

Or it could go the way of people's dreams for mainstream consumer crypto in 2016. Every business desperate for a boost in cash (and a pool of desperate LinkedIn posters) are pretending that they just invented machine learning in the la

Sure, morality is subjective to an extent but not every company is Ben and Jerry’s or REI, two companies that are the poster-children of the more-ethical side of corporations.

Perhaps psychopath might be an exaggeration here but the primary desire for many is to grow income. The options chosen generally favor the path of least/resistance. Until there's a law mandating morality in business decision makin

The snark here is unnecessary and completely disconnected from how people use these systems in the real world. Deferring to “it’s in the notes!” means nothing if you have more than a handful of packages on your machine. You should also clar

Yet how many people are checking what libraries are being linked on every compilation? CMakefiles are susceptible to bugs too. KeepassXC could also very well remove these build flags and people would be none the wiser. As I said, concerned

Intentionally malicious or accidentally vulnerable, vulnerable code is vulnerable code. Disabling compile flags on functionality doesn't necessarily guarantee you're any more secure, especially if the software isn't regularly

I'm not sure I really agree here. If there's fundamental concern for the security of a software package, why package the software? What's stopping a malicious actor from including malicious network code outside of the compile

Fair enough, marketing is not my strong suit, especially to creatives. Perhaps I'm biased because I go out of my way to spend as little energy as I can on an ad when one comes up.

I fail to see why this is controversial because digital expression in the arts has been mainstream and widely accepted for multiple decades now.

This would apply to a very few number of people. The overwhelming majority of tech jobs in the US do not pay anywhere nearly enough to work for 5-10 years and fully retire. This would even prove a problem with many of the very well paid dev

I think there are two ways to go about implementing AI. The low-key implementations that assist are the most elegant ways to implement AI functionality. If I can use a product and not realize AI is behind it, the product has successfully ut

In case it hasn’t been obvious, Boeing has been in the news over the last few months for various airplane defects. I fail to see how it’s unreasonable to believe a journalist wouldn’t want to utilize the negative undertones of the Boeing na

Where are you finding many options in products without HFCS or additives? Even the much-higher-end supermarkets near me don't have meaningful alternatives for a lot of products where I am, and I'm in a HCOL area.

Your binary take is not how American law works nor has it ever worked that way. Utilizing the intent of the law/ruling is a completely valid school of legal thought that is regularly practiced. If you disagree with it, you may wish to
