"Do I seem like a rational person?" Nope. Nor a rational one. While there is little more frustrating than a spreadhsheet pretending it's a database this seems like it was written by a first year IT associate who doesn't

These sorts of disputes always amaze me. Reddit wants to make a stand without taking steps to actually protect users while the film companies push forward under the false pretense that the type of people who download their product would ha

This paints heat pumps in a very rosey shade. The reason for heat pumps poor adoption is their poor performance and general inability to maintain comfortable Temps in colder climates and anywhere that weather and Temps change frequently. Th

If only any of them made good EVs... Or even better weren't trading one ecological disaster for another.

Most of this "gouging" is at the dealership level where prices are raised above the mfg prices. Hoping the company fails just seems asinine as a response.

So, the rich pay for convenience? Shocker, even more so when their examples for 'rich' include rhe working poor. The through message though seemed to be that anyone reliant on government services will be expected to pay a price a

It would be irononic for the government to subsidize something that they've significantly contributed to increasing the cost of.

You're confusing ignorance and apathy of individuals with institutional apathy.

so the wants of those who wish to move to a neigh orhood outweigh the needs of those who are already there? i have no love for the nimbys but its also not a win to turn a neighbordhood into a bunch of low rent duplexes. theres a differenxe

"squeezed on top of each other" is bad but "more dense" is good? There's a lot more to whether either of these are good than these talking points.

Speaking of tired talking points, do better... I'm sure that won't be cringe any time soon.

This article is more ideologically driven than a realistic examination of these businesses. Also, saying Google was surpassed by ChatGPT is equivalent to saying something else reliable than Wikipedia is beating them. That's nowhere nea

This comes across as histrionics based on misinterpreting the worst case predictions to drive yet more unfounded FUD.

It is a bit of a stretch to conflate the conservation and labor movements like that.

There is also a significant ant difference in the absolute numbers. Not to mention people tend to be much lore cautious in high traffic areas.

"Basically how things were built pre-WW2?" Or, like many places still build them today?

It would be disastrous in any field. When you replace metric with arbitrary quotas then you're maximizing the odds for a suboptimal outcome. People conflate social and individual trends with structural restrictions. The best we can do

This again assumes the owner isn't ignorant of the requirement or apathetic to it. Corpo6entities tend to be apathetic while most private owners are simply stupid.

This comment relies on the original owners not being either stupid or apathetic. I've bought many second hand devices over the years, from actual owners, who had no idea how to properly reset them.

While I support upholding section 230 I find irony in reddit proclaiming their support for users and everyday citizens. The majority of the site is overrun by zealots and trolls who relentlessly punish any non-conformance woth their chosen

Ya, this story is nonsense. If this was actually relayed by a mechanic they were trying to get you to go away. It's more likely a story created by someone with a rudimentary idea how these things work who imagined it illustrated their

At the time they were venting the impact was significant. That they've managed to recover is irrelevant. Perhaps they do need a better return policy to protect themselves from such self centered ignorance but it is a sad reality where

I get much of the praise and dislike for KDE. What I've never understood is the success of gnome. KDE isn't perfect but gnome is a textbook example of broken workflows and poor UI design. How it became the default for many distro

"Big meat can't quit antibiotics" Nor should they. The impact would be more far reaching than what's being discussed in the article.

That's not even based in reality. If you wait until after animals are sick to treat then depending on what disease it is you've lost all or most of a herd due to the way existing regulations require them to be handled.

By externalities you seem to mean the choices that other people make. unless the choice is to not biy their product how or why woukd these get factored in? how would you do so and retain a nominally free society? How would you justify this

Are we talking mass starvation here or just that the young or unskilled live with roommates and cannot afford the best wines? I suspect if it were the former they wouldn't need a study to tell you about it...

It's rarely the best move to base careers around your hobbies. It tends to ruin your love for the hobby more often that make your work a joy.

I can relate to so much of this but I also recognize that among the people I work with today this tinkering mindset isn't common among the developers. The tinkers tend to be much better at troubleshooting, are often more creative but
