I get why it doesn't immediately need a prototype (I feel like there's a pretty obvious situation where someone has an idea and needs funding but wouldn't get funding without a patent). I don't get what the benefit is of

So I think there are two things here. First I agree somewhat though I think that there's a difference between good natured shit talking and being a jerk. I feel like as a kid people still could be mean but tonally it was more jovial, n

So for YouTube I haven't been able to find quality reporting for the most part (outside of an occasional niche issue). For X my experience is that it's essentially impossible for me to vet personal accounts that people have. Also

Where do you think people should get news? Most of the non-mainstream news is somehow worse and finding knowledgeable direct sources isn't really practical for people.

Yeah, the issue with "it's their choice" is that through addictive behaviors they are trying to take away that sort of agency from people. I don't have an issue with gambling in general but I have a huge issue with peopl

People here keep blaming the Jones Act but the US has lost manufacturing capability across so many sectors so I don't really get how shipbuilding would be much better without the Jones Act. (Not that I like the Jones Act, I really don&

When economics has come up I've been curious and asked my brother about some of the stuff in the more upvoted comments (he has his PhD in economics with a focus on labor specifically) his reaction has always been something like "t

From reading the article it's pretty clear that diet changes can help so it's definitely not just "no" here

I had an argument with people the other day that it's not "free" as in unregulated markets that are good but "free" as in competitive ones. If you free a market from governmental influence but captured by private co

The article is paywalled but I'm not a fan of suggesting particular questions in general. Unless it's relevant to the team I'm on or the candidate is genuinely knowledgeable and interested in the field then it comes across as

I mean yeah if you pay and want to use it to also block trackers then go for broke, I've never heard of anyone having a problem with that.

I don't use an adblocker because I'm not entitled to the content. If seeing the ads makes the site not worth it I just don't go to that site, these sites won't learn until people stop using them. I've had a lot of p

Data being viewable but being subject to some restrictions isn't some new thing, it's how it has always worked. E.g. if I can view a website it's public but copying/pasting it somewhere else is a violation of copyright.

It's hard to get more capitalistic that the owners of capital trying to build monopolies since that's what maximizes value for shareholders. Turns out "free markets" (by the econ 101 definition) are bad for capital owner

Women in a lot of places are barred by legal or cultural methods from going into higher education in a way that men just aren't. Especially in the US less men go to college but they definitely aren't barred from it in the same way

I don't really have good context on the issue but is there a reason you consider getting Telegram logs outside of "regular detective work". Intercepting communications (assuming they have a warrant, at least based on my under

Has there always been a graveyard of dead comments at the end of posts here? I've been surprised at having seen them on a couple posts recently. I know it's an election year in the US so my experience is that there's more non

It's a 29 year old language. It has done an amazing job adapting over time and is a technical marvel (and I still think it is a better than average language overall) but there are tons of valid criticisms of it and I don't begrudg

The amount of people I know with full time jobs (often very skilled ones, one person I know runs research projects studying cats) struggling to get by is pretty crazy. Working in software we can be really insulated from it. It's no sur

I don't really see how this would be that relevant. A corporate account making announcements and ads are pretty different in content, cost, perception, etc.

R&D isn't as much of the pharma budget as I thought so it's hard to blame high R&D costs as the biggest driver for how expensive drugs are. You mentioned Novo Nordisk and looking at their financials they reported a net pro

Some monitoring of protests is necessary to ensure the safety of protestors and keep track of the potential for violence or other crimes from protestors or opportunists. For example I went to a BLM protest and it was pretty chaotic and ther

They've made this situation hard for themselves because while there is a practical reason to keep track of at least some of these protest activities but they've also shown themselves incapable and untrustworthy in handling their o

I combed through their docs to try to find how these tokens would actually make maintainers money and it seems like it people pay projects for fixing bug reports (and penalize them if they don't)? The other demand drivers of the token

Also I want to point out that a significant chunk of the "increasingly progressive" nature is driven by increases in income inequality over that same timeframe. Both pre and post tax income even for higher earners has increased (a
