It sure is contextual. And nobody would disagree with your examples. The difference here seems to be more of a power imbalance than any objection to terms. In particular, terms of service are often very dense documents. Many people are only

The real prescription to stopping this is to only commit to looking at the problem for a few days regardless of how much progress you’re making. And never take on open-ended tasks with no sunset date. A CTO had me take an open-ended dev pro

We could have a sort of “Representational State Transfer” using HTTP to represent the state of resources in both a human readable and machine readable format.

This is too mechanistic. You also choose which emotions to pay attention to.

That doesn’t excuse us doing it when we’re trying to cop the moral high ground. Otherwise we’re just in a race to see who can do the worst things.

Yeah that’s true of Azure and of GCP but not AWS. Azure clearly states this in their documentation. Nobody was trying to hide it from you.

I live in the real world where we follow the law because otherwise some of us might end up in jail and all of us will be out of a job. We pick and choose through our elected officials here.

Not really. They’re a day or more late most of the time in the major metro where I live. Usually only when I’m relying on them.

Nobody invented writing. Various people probably independently started making marks on things to signify amounts of stuff. Some people drew likenesses of things. This continued for millenia and became more and more elaborate. It wasn’t born

An HOA has a lot more leeway to do whatever it wants than other local governments. They get to act as government sometimes, then as a corporation sometimes, and then as a group of amateur lawyers sometimes. They can both pass laws and try y

Well they tend to optimize heavily by discouraging things like bathroom breaks, and I’ve seen evidence of this thinking in how they treat their drivers. I’m not sure why this would be extraordinary? On its face those incentives don’t sound

I wonder if Amazon does.

Or it could just be a series of images. I’m looking for a way of not taking 10 pounds of books on a trip not perfect fidelity.

6% or better white vinegar in the rinse cycle removes exercise smell from synthetic clothes too. IME it’s cheaper and better than the sanitizer. I just put a cup of it in the bleach cup in the washer. It vaporizes in the dryer. I wash every

Yeah the writing tastes like processed food. There’s no substance just “here’s some stuff people do” but nothing about why it works or where you could learn more.

Frequently you have to mention specific laws and describe how your situation matches the law or your complaints get ignored. At least this is how it works when you call your insurance company and make similar complaints.

Is there a way to get kids books on Kobo? Every time we fly we carry like 10 pounds of board books to keep my son entertained. It would be awesome to have an ebook reader with his board books and other stuff on it.

Which might be easier since the surface is larger

Might as well just go whole hog and change the entire computer architecture, then. A lot of the arguments against this change boil down to computers and software code don’t work well with this today.

I think you’ll find that words have definitions that can be changed.

USB-HID is standardized. But you still have to represent the device model somehow. You can never get away from that.

The government controls imports by tariffs and inspections and so on.

This is pretty contrived. Politics is as simple as “Janey and I really want to swim in the ocean” vs “I wanted to go to the lake by my house.” The politics are how that conflict gets resolved peacefully.

“who gets the nicer plots” is probably the most important question. This proposal doesn’t actually change any of the structures that make some land more valuable than others. I’m guessing we’ll get more traction from making more places attr

Yeah the cost of fixing it would get you the technology to make a new one.

In education these kids are termed “twice-exceptional” because they test as gifted but have some kind of disability that makes some things challenging.

If it’s anything like the lightning to 3.5mm adapters I’ll be buying one of those once a month for the rest of my life.
