Just like the article mentioned, you can't just say that touchscreens are dangerous without bringing up how many buttons do not make it better UX. There are plenty of touchscreen designs that are way better than buttons. The only metri

With two attacks on my character and a demonstrated lack of reading comprehension later, how much better do you feel?

Are you arguing that the other people in a household are laboring, or do you think they're counting pets?

Would a filter like this make it seem less likely that they're harvesting PII? Why would they need this if they were tracking all user queries with a finer-toothed comb?

"malicious"? Seems like a great way to filter users breaching the TOS while not impeding on normal users. A FOSS client just means they're doing more analysis hidden on their servers.

While about 50% to 60% of the adult U.S. population are active W-2 wage earners at any given time, the percentage that relies on labor exclusively (meaning they have zero capital income or assets to fall back on) sits right around 40% to 50

Even if true, why would that matter? This is about distribution of wealth, not additional responsibilities.

It hurts the definition of the words when you use ultra wealthy to refer to the top 50%...

The people who want money from people richer than them never want to give up their own to the people who look to them with the same eyes.

I'm not the only one with access to data though, if you're wanting to hold to your beliefs unless someone does the legwork for you and attempts to force it on you, I think your bias will overcome. Here is a source to begin anyway.

If you build plenty of houses, they become affordable. The latest Affordable Housing is mostly gov-enabled scams, at least in San Diego. They are being made for greater costs than the luxury housing since the funding is guaranteed. Then the

Have you looked up the definition of abject poverty? It is "the most severe and hopeless form of human deprivation". It's the subject of the conversation, how is that pointless?

Live in a poor place. There are plenty of cheap houses, but you do have to leave expensive areas (shocking, I know).

Income goes straight to a person, capital gains is a little return from other people generating income. Basically a MLM lol.

Back in my day, the right wing was "conservative" and used to be the ones making the permitting processes to slow down "progress".

There's definitely been a lot of "creativity" in Musk's companies. I'm honestly a bit surprised that any could go public. I thought there'd be too many skeletons in the closet, but glad things worked out/w

People have trouble pricing it because they do actual new engineering and don't spend time and money making the stock price wherever they want it. All the other F500s are owned by the same few companies and all the board members are th

Yes, it's actually the first volatile high-profile IPO so you can see why some people need to be reminded of the possibility.

As it should be when you buy a product IMO. It only works out in high-trust societies and the business model is ruined by scammers. REI is a great example, some people would buy shoes, wear them out, then return them years later because the

Why on earth would you expect any of them to take profit so early in the game?

Seems to me that they were mostly right, and the message was received by the right people. No need to ensure it gets distributed to the wrong people.

None of them were compelled, and nobody is stopping you from running your own LLM generously provided by others. Doesn't mean when linux came out people nationalized Apple and Microsoft.

Did your dad give you a Tandy 1000 or a Cray X-MP/48? Do you really think you need the most top-of-the-line model to learn anything, or will a locally run gemma4 (or whatever it turns into) still get you going just the same as when you
