It sounds like you're arguing that YouTube should be free and also ad-free, which makes no sense. YouTube is expensive to operate. They give me an option of paying by watching ads or paying money. That's much better than my option

Eh not quite the same. This guy was getting paid to specifically make it possible to play pirated media, and he ignored a cease and desist. If you scaled this up to a large percentage of Switch consoles, no one would want to make Switch gam

I don't blame you for being too frustrated by RFK to look into him, but this isn't quite his brand of stupidity. He's obsessed with "pollutants" in the broadest possible sense. That's why he crusaded against en

It's not irony so much as it is brazenly criminal. No one should be in a position of training someone else's AI to replace their job function without consenting to it and without being compensated. The most valuable thing AI can d

Absolutely false. Find me a non-trivial blog or website (>10k unique visitors per month) self-hosted by someone non-technical that isn't centralized by Cloudflare or a website host. Like I said: if your site is read-only and you sel

It absolutely doesn't "work in practice" for the web. Read-only sites, like personal blogs, are easy to self-host but vulnerable to DDoS attacks if targeted. Writeable sites, like anything with a form or message board, are no

Yes, in the sense that educated and working women have started to prefer a partner at the same or higher levels of education and income. But most people don't have college degrees, so this doesn't explain everything.

I have no idea how you do this. I almost can't get a single good chunk of code from Claude. It use it all day, every day. It gives me unusable code ~95% of the time, and I have to hand-edit it.

Most economists agree that income tax and corporate profit tax should be eliminated and replaced with capital gains tax. Politically impossible, of course.

This take is not based in reality. Despite issues with the US, net migration data shows that the US has been brain-draining Canada for most of the last 50 years. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/
