You are making a claim that is theological, religious, and scientific. Yes, our form of life on earth ends when our bodies die today. But what is the essence of us, no one really knows. Various people claim it's locked into your body,

Nordstrom isn't doing that well, even in the US though. And there's a general collapse of large retail stores in general, malls closing.

I was trying to puzzle it out and then i googled it. I find discussions where everyone assumes you know a term that is a little bit specific extremely irritating. I'm special that way.

You can't have you basic car that is in-expensive and just a car without buying it from a boring, in-expensive automobile maker. They are the ones who make that kind of vehicle. They are one and the same. What's the 'basic ca

When we can upload our brains to the cloud, and you can do something with them like interacting or running the brain, then we'll all be effectively immortal. That's a pretty big deal. See the book altered carbon.

A lot of new cars can do this. Rivian, etc.

Recent Toyotas like a Corolla can do this.

Yes, you are correct, that's what I was trying to say.

I think that's a pretty naive view of the world, even if it has a little truth. There have always been matchmakers who got paid for making a match. If you paid more, you got a better one maybe. They matched you with another human, like

Are those voices really automatically reading the text without any editing from humans? Those are stunningly good. I don't think I'd identify them as being fake, I need to listen to the whole thing and see if there's some wea

The problem is most people do believe these confident facts spoken by a leader, they aren't evaluating them. An easy example is the fairly widespread belief that somehow the us pres election was stolen. People said it, but there mounta

It's basically like political candidate Kari Lake in Arizona. She is an extremely confident speaker, talking about the conspiracies against her, how she really won the election for Az Gov, all of them have no evidence or support. She i

Read up on their new ev sale requirements or the dealers lose our access to EVs. They are trying but limited by state laws. And I'm no fan, I don't want to ever buy a car from a dealer again. The state laws block Tesla and rivian

Did they literally tell you to get lost? The unavailability of test drives has been a problem for all of these new EVs, including rivian, and it was true for Tesla when they first started selling. I'm suspicious of the lack of demand f

That feels like a theoretical problem that very rarely occurs in practice. I have had many USBC devices including Apple Max but many other Macs that take USBC at higher than 15 watts and I've never had a problem. There's just no r

I don't think that experience is universal. I bought lots of usbc cables from lots of different places and haven't had this issue. But I have bought cables certified for a certain amount of power etc. There is a huge danger in let

This is a week old, but in retrospect what would you have done at that time? I don't know, I was fortunate as a child that my parents remained employed during that time. I wonder what they thought might happen. There must have been peo

Thank you for those examples. Converting sql manipulation into a function is an excellent example. You can do a lot in a few case statements especially with nesting but translating that into something else is valuable. I asked it to write s

That's an interesting point, I like the idea, but I don't see that it would apply to even well prepared English majors. I just don't expect them to understand how to troubleshoot a toaster. They probably think of plugging it

That's an excellent point that I don't think is made enough. The great pay and relative freedom software engineering provides the technically-minded people of the world is great for us, yet starves many other important fields from

I think that has been significantly decreasing over time, this is shown by the problem with them getting reasonable jobs that support them financially.

Most of the jobs that people point to for English majors are things that any well-mannered educated person who went to college and has decent people and communication skills can do. This is not to say they are not much better educated in la

Okay, that's absurd even to cynical me. Pretend to be a cop and have qualified immunity?
