I've driven Tesla's a number of times and absolutely hate the vent controls, they are wildly less precise and take much more attention than in any other car I've driven. I hate pretty much all gimmicky Tesla UX decisions and

>We can argue over whether or not it's "real" empathy There's nothing to argue about, it's unambiguously not real empathy. Empathy from a human exists in a much broader context of past and future interactions. On

It matters a lot how much of the market they capture before then though. Oracle and Google are two companies that have spent years torching their reputation but they are still ubiquitous and wildly profitable.

This is exactly what I was thinking as well, it's a great Scunthorpe example. Nothing from the body of a user article should ever be executed in any way. If blocking a list of strings is providing any security at all you're alread

Anytime someone from a company says that users like the super trendy thing they just made I take it with a sizeable grain of salt. Sometimes it's true, and maybe it is true for Strava, but I've seen enough cases where it isn'

I totally agree, transparently fake friendliness or kindness is really off-putting. Pretty much everyone hates insincere personal interactions with another human, but some people like fake interest if it comes from a computer algorithm. I r

I have decidedly mixed feelings on Python decorators, but tend to shy away from them. The parts I like are that they can be a good way to reuse certain functions and they make surface level code much more concise and readable. The trouble c

I don't read The Guardian enough to know if the snark was intentional or not but this line gave me a chuckle, > She does not appear to have social media profiles, though she has two followers on the blogging site Medium. Talk about

This actually works reliably with quite a few companies, especially large ones with low marginal cost services. They will often have a standard script where they will offer anyone calling to cancel a large discount for 3-12 months. People c

The first time I noticed one of these errors I was pretty shocked to have spotted a clear error while casually watching a show. Now that I know to look for these types of inconsistencies though I see them all the freaking time. It's su

I think you're only reinforcing the contrast. Yes databases are massivly useful and have been self evidently so for decades; and yet, none of the current outlandish AI claims were ever made about them. VCs weren't running around 3

I've been surprised at how many people will happily hand over their detailed financial data to Plaid. I can understand how many people might not know how sophisticated malicious actors can be with it, but everyone has heard of identity

The notion that the private sector largely runs on merit really falls apart the more one learns about how high level decision making is done.

On top of that even the official guidelines are ridiculous. Statements along the lines of saying that people should be treated equally regardless of skin color are officially grounds for rejection.

I couldn't agree more and worry that even if the country makes it out of this period in one piece the well will have been poisoned on a lot of these topics. We should have big initiatives to make government more efficient, and reduce t

The national debt is a complete red herring here. It's a real problem, sure, but that is completely unrelated to these cuts. The party implementing these cuts is currently debating how many trillions of dollars to increase the nati

That only works well if someone is in an appropriate job though. Keeping someone in a position they are unqualified for and majorly screwing up at isn't doing anyone any favors.

It's funny seeing all of the comments trying to blame the users for this screwup by claiming they're using it wrong. It is reddit though, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Somehow I doubt you would apply these same principles to someone who doesn't believe in police and objects to their taxes being used to fund them.

Imagine how much federal revenue would increase if that 1% paid the same effective rate as say a typical plumber, rather than the <10% they currently pay. That might actually put a dent in the trillions of dollars this congress is about

The company run by a guy who has been busy publicly sucking up to trump and bribing him is going to take a stand over this? I doubt it.
