Well I'm sympathetic to your point of view, but there I think there are some small chinks in the armour of this argument. To give two examples: 1. I read an article about plastic surgery for show dogs in Brazil: as it pointed out the d

He's pointing out how utterly unsubstantiated and egregious the accusation is. Not inviting further suspicion.

Ireland gets the money. The EU is making Apple pay us. And yes we didn't want it - mainly for reputational reasons and partly because our argument was "we never done it".

I'm by no means a Rust fanatic, but I've had quite a different experience to many of the other commenters (especially around libraries etc) and I thought I ought to share it. My background is as a generalist full stack developer u

They're not picking and choosing. YouTube didn't wake up one morning and say we should stop recommending fitness videos to teens. They are responding to massive social pressure from parents who for the most part are very sick of f

It is folly to increase your wisdom at the expense of your authority.

Well of course there's also this: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo Which is almost as bad as AM (being that it is more realistic)

Well who knows. My bet is on the very long-lived being fairly risk averse. And new ideas are risky.

It's clear from many of these discussions that there is an unbridgeable discursive gap between the "why on earth would you ever want to die" and the "life would become an intolerable nightmare" groups. Realistically

It's not about fault is it? It's about a level of care (which one can argue about). In this case the society says your work has a responsibility to provide for you in case of accident within certain parameters. He keeps his job, h

How much listening have you done to the results? How do you feel about the results? Just interested because I've listened to quite a few AI readings (sometimes without knowing ahead of time) and I'm still sort of processing my rea

I have a HP LaserJet 4050TN released in 1999. Still printing away. Zero scamology. Imagine all the effort they've made since then to make their products terrible.

Yeah I think sometime in the last 20 years it became very uncool to appear to be elitist about anything cultural. As a result there is no cachet in appearing to have elevated tastes and no stigma in liking trash. Personally that suits me as
