The important difference is not the price, but the extent of the corruption. A politician whose public persona is clean, law-abiding, respectful of norms and institutions, and generally benevolent will be limited in how far they will go to

Agreed. I'm a regular user of the BoM website, and from my perspective the old version was absolutely fine. I wasn't one of the people instantly panning the redesign, but after using it for a while I haven't found positives t

I don't think that's the idea; it's more that when you're not beholden to an employer, you can focus on (and take pride in) whichever aspects of the work you want to focus on. When I'm working on my own projects, mo

The issue seems to be a direct copy-paste from an LLM response, so I suspect "this wastes 1-2ms per frame" is estimated/made up.

The point is that you're now defending a completely different position from "Free speech is absolute." Determining what should count as "an actual crime or harm", how it can be proven, and so on, is pretty much the

I think they're copping this criticism because it's neither one thing nor the other. If it was really just a group of scientists being themselves, some of us would appreciate that. And if it was inauthentic but performed by great

For me, the text size would be fine if the contrast were better. The background colour is similar to the colour of the non-central pixels of the text, and even the central pixels are grey rather than black.
