The OP literally made the argument that, in the extreme, people must have to die if regulations are relaxed. OP did not assume good faith. OP pushed the argument to the extreme. I responded by pointing out that out. I appreciate civility, b

I’m curious about who they measured. We already know that the US population of 30 year olds has roughly half the testosterone of their grandpas at the same age. If you’re only measuring the sick, so to speak, you might not find anything. Fo

Ah, the “you just want people to die” argument. I wondered when that would show up. How about a largely deregulated area where you can mix housing and business zoning. Like we use to with downtowns. At the same time get rid of the caps on b

The Chinese are more efficient? Take an 18 year old, toss him or her into a college that does the challenge, get a job at one of the defense contractors later. The Chinese employee is able to do the same thing about 4 years earlier.

I don’t care about Google’s clout. I use them for less and less and where I use them I don’t care. I use them for email. My email is essentially a curated spam folder. I seldom use it for anything of value. When I do use it, I could care l

Doubt it. Didn’t happen with rubber. Didn’t happen with chocolate. Didn’t happen with Californian tomatoes. Technology will press the exploitation out when you don’t need people.

That’s my issue. If I have a cookie for a refresh token, I have to now have a banner saying the site uses a cookie. I have to have a page that explains why. All the while I have the site now looking shady because the banner is synonymous wi

I don't trust the EU. They seem to go after companies with deep pockets when they need money. Look at the Google Android controversy lately. Nokia, any EU phone creator (are there any?), any EU phone creator that wants to get in the ma

I’m interested in how the vagraties of the law plays out. I’m working on software that won’t use ads or CDNs. All traffic terminates with my system. I will use cookies. I have no intent on putting up one of those cookie notification banner.

Green is relative. Florida has much more greenery that Oxford. Plus, these owners ran a house of protection for Africans that survived their village being slaughtered. They had a bit more pressing things to worry about than making a great g

Sure. I have a Profile. Let's say I load it from the database and make a change. I want to know if I need to save the profile. This is particularly important when using optimistic locking, a.k.a. resource versioning. My profile has a v

There is also a cultural difference. While at Oxford, the family that I stayed with had a garden. British people love their gardens. It wasn't much of a garden, but it was in Oxford, and it was their little piece of barely green soil.

How do you keep track of dirty writes on structs? I want to only persist if the struct was actually changed. I could add getters setters, but a lot of the Go community seems to say I’m stupid for wanting to do that. I could track externally

I wish I had the link. A few years back the argument was they could make things slimmer with integrated components. Apple wanted everything to be slim. That was their differentiation.

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. As I get more employees, I'd probably look at System76 first. I appreciate their US based manufacturing goal. I purchased the Gazelle. It's mid-level. It's a 7th gen i7. It has 32 GB

Oh, they are. On the other hand, maybe, if you keep the device long enough, it's not too bad. Here's my present life. I bought a System76 laptop about this time last year. I wanted to get away from Mac OS since Eclipse is terrible

I don't think we're there yet. It will be interesting to see how this changes overtime. I'm curious how to works in largely homogeneous countries like Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_mar

Her argument was cogent and to the point. In Islam Mohamed is the ideal man. You should emulate him as a result. You see in Pakistan younger brides as a result. We in the West call that pedophilia. She said that. Oops, stating theological f

While we need to be aware of environmental impacts, the same is true of how to mitigate them using existing processes. The French recycle their fuel. Eventually it's not usable in their traditional reactors. They ship the waste to a pl

I’m saying it is not obvious that an authoritarian government that suppresses a minority for the betterment of the majority is bad.

How do you know that the entity isn't better than its people? The long term stability of governments correlates with general wellness. Technology helps make the government more stable. If 90% of the population's standard of living

You're making an assumption about best. What is best? Is it personal liberty within the confines of enough law to provide some semblance of stability? The US is straining with that and it is arguably the most free of the Western Nation

Just looking out the window with the occasional head nod is creepy?

That’s fair. I do wonder if just smiling and making eye contact would be a better time. The ability to provide a modicum of human kindness might be refreshing; just a small token of humanity without the selfishness of personal media.

How did you get past the existential crisis that reading a book does nothing but while way time on a task that accomplished little when viewed over a period greater than a month? For example, rather than reading a book, you could have made
