I don’t think this contributes to the conversation. There is clearly social context to this situation and copy pasting a machine-generated summary is no more helpful than reading the article at face value.

Unfortunately there's nothing amiss here: it's inherently in the interests of the consumers who own the co-op to exploit the workers who work there.

They might call themselves REI "co-op", but a consumers' cooperative is really the polar opposite of representing the interests of workers. It's really just a shareholder owned company with a few steps removed in the mid

Having slightly different syntax seems like a poor reason to not use MS SQL.

Instead of working fixed hours, I frequently spread out my work throughout the day and week. This is a distinct part of Formspree culture, that comes from how my cofounder and I prefer to work. We encourage our team to choose their

Well, I'm not doing anything useful with my life either, so that makes two of us.

Sure but also maybe not? It’s weird to lament someone you don’t even know.

I don't think it really matters what we call the phenomenon – whatever they're doing, they're not humans, so whatever human analogy we choose to call it is necessarily imprecise. What does matter is that everyone has a shared

Isn’t this the same thing Apple does? Carrier bill credit, Apple TV+ trial, Apple Fitness+ trial, Apple Arcade trial etc. Seems like any other kind of phone marketing to me.

I don't think they're arguing that an LLM is better at translation that an actual translator, just that they are pretty good at it. DeepL and Google Translate definitely also make things up though, so I don't think that'

Well, there's polkit now to avoid granting such broad permissions via setuid, so it's not like there isn't a viable alternative right now.

Refute what the article is saying, not your generous interpretation of it. If the author wanted to make such an extraordinary claim, they should have presented extraordinary evidence.

That's what you should be saying, because that's what the article is claiming. If you're arguing they would rewrite queries less obviously, that's a much weaker claim than what the author is making. I'm sure the ave

I don't think replacing one problem with a slightly different problem beholden to the same interests in the end solves anything.

This really really doesn't pass the sniff test. It would be extremely obvious if your searches were being so egregiously converted.

Sorry, but even the most well-meaning of people will make mistakes, and it's clear this was an accident with no malice. No need to cast irrelevant aspersions just to grind your personal axe.

"this is Microsoft actively removing a competing Web browser" is definitely an allegation implying more bad faith than just Windows Defender had a false positive...

A small UI improvement is not worth switching from a far more tested and audited application. The UI might be worse, but I wouldn't play dice with applications with critical security requirements.

I don't know why you are so insistent on this. With chemotherapy, we have literally have so much empirical evidence that the benefits far outweigh the risks. We understand the mechanism of action of chemotherapy enough to assess its ri

I would think we know more about the brain now to have better treatments than random stabbing. Would you like to get stabbed literally randomly in the brain to treat suicidal tendencies?

Given that lobotomy was putting a large needle in someone's eye socket and swinging it around in their brain to destroy a bunch of tissue at random, I would hope not.

MVCC is optimistic concurrency control – you may end up having to retry your write transaction multiple times, which might suck if the transaction is expensive. Pessimistic concurrency control like locking may be cheaper in those cases, sin

It’s hard for me not to empathize with the author when they: - diagnosed a longstanding bug - contributed an initial patch - actively reached out to the maintainer, who said they would reach out in private - contributed additional versions

Why can’t we try and change things we feel are unfair? Sure, we can’t change everything and we don’t always get what we want, but surely we can try, like asking someone to improve their behavior?
