I disagree. In the old days, when there were lots of small newspapers, most of them had reporters who went to city hall events and wrote and did investigations of things, went to school events, other city happenings. They usually didn'

The website also talked about "shared" rooms. I'm sure they don't want you to sell your space like an air bnb though. You don't own it. Maybe if you bought an expensive one you could share it with your kids.

I think we need more information before we can proclaim it terrorism with certainty. If it was say teenagers with guns or something, that is probably not terrorism, that's stupidity. But I do think it wasn't an accident and was li

Yeah, thank you for putting it so well. The poster above is a real live example of the "don't help poor kids to get enough food to eat, it will just ruin them". Everyone shouldn't have medical care, they'll be ruine

I saw this ad/article multiple times the last few days, good ad placement. About $300k for a 12 year lease on a ~250 sf apartment with a bathroom, small bed. This is at storylines.com. Travels to cool cities all over the world, stays a

I've thought of that too, perhaps I write them down in a sealed envelope and tell my spouse or kid, only open in an emergency. I feel it's pretty certain these non-software engineers in my family have less security notions than I

Yeah, we don't need to go overboard here and nuke them from orbit. This is criminal, investigate, arrest, prosecute. It doesn't need an overreaction. We just need a reaction from our police forces.

I would expect they have cameras, maybe they don't have good coverage. I noticed the power substation in my city has cameras at the entrance gates. This sure looks like domestic terrorism, hard to believe this is ordinary vandalism. Th

Let's also look back at the last few years - did we have an obvious problem in the FBI excusing the actions of protests against deadly police actions, or was the actual problem that there was a measurable amount of people in the FBI su

No one can be exposed (or reminded) about how the country's top police force, the FBI, worked to completely destroy civil rights figures (MLK was against violence, actually made a big difference in the success of our country, and then

Yeah, we had way more stuff. We could design, iterate and build things fast. But we could build way more copies of things than the other people. The sophistication of the Japanese carrier forces and their strategies, the tanks, etc, the way

Yes, the creators should be testing their app. But making bug reports is also a fundamental useful thing. Should I not report bugs in mac os or chrome or python3 because the project owner should have figured it out? No.

If we do go to more ai contributed code fragments, we still need to test them for correctness. Given that we already see compelling looking but bug ridden solutions from chatgpt as well as from humans, I still see the test as crucial. If an

I wish it had passed but all the things that did pass were by a tiny wisp of barely there support. Via Sinema and Manchin, who ended other obviously good things. I wish it had passed congress but it probably wouldn't have. Get rid of t

Early in the pandemic Biden wasn't in charge and republicans wouldn't do that. They wanted to take away things like health insurance as an option. Maybe the dems could have gotten into one of those covid stimulus bills but I doubt

I don't buy that as a general principal. You get the odd fascist leader of democracies that wants to do that in say Hungary, Turkey, even the US got a whiff of it. But most people and most politicians actually like democracy and suppor

They already celebrated their earnings in the past, people got bonus or raises or promos on their "performance" using the fruits of their bad behavior. Probably there is different leadership now. The new leadership can use these t

It's obviously a terrible thing if firms stop blocking people who might have some problem. It's going to be used in terrible ways. I hope that because lawyers are involved they'll manage to destroy this as a general thing c

There are random commenters (like me!) saying various things all the time. But there is kind of the weight of the mass of commenters. That's how we got to the semi-consensus (except for the crypto partisans) that web3/crypto seeme

Or maybe your view of the impact should be revisited.

I don't think that's a good comparison. That was 100+ cops standing around while kids were being shot. How often do swat type all out assaults from cops into buildings save people? They are rare. The cops add risk more than they s

So dems would not have come out to vote if Biden's drug addicted son has naked pics of himself on his laptop? I don't see that changing things.

By Elon making the statements that he did against Fauci and claiming he should be prosecuted, by using his bullhorn he instigated the attacks against Fauci. When you are a powerful public speaker it should be that you consider more carefull

But it was clearly a last minute deal with no accounting for things like talking about public speakers, concerts. And talking about such things is a big part of what reporters do. So now they can add and judge who is a legitimate journalist
