Well, if you are just telling me outright in my face, that all democracies devolve into massive populism like this, then yes, I would definitely prefer a different system, of course. I most certainly don't approve a dictatorship of the

Workers, are now being forced to give part of their work compensation, to people that are not only don't work, but that are too lazy to even prepare a cheaper and - on average - more nutritious meal. Reminds me of a similar example goi

I notice Siri still continues to be some embarrassing afterthought for Apple. At least to non-native English speakers, Siri is really atrocious. Most of the time, it doesn't even get the simplest queries right.

There are a lot of things that aren't defined as rights. Are you fine with the State going after those as well? According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, some things that aren't rights, are: - Gay marriage; - Abortio

It's a great thing the "little people" don't give up on their car/meat/heating/AC. Forcing anyone to give up on any of those - either by direct prohibition or taxation - its a totalitarian move.

This is a ridiculous hammering of numbers, designed to pass some ideological message totally devoid of any root in reality. USA total CO2 emissions are less than 14% of global emissions. You aren't doing the environment any favors by p

In all honesty, the kind of people that attend Burning Man, are exactly the ones that spend the rest of the year preaching about how concerned they are about environmental causes, and how important it is to tax the working man even more to

Well, I feel exactly the opposite. I used to think I would do that, that I would put skin in the game and send my children to public schools. But after my first born arrived, I can't do that. She's not an ideological trumping card

You absolutely do. If you are going to critique something, be sure to present what's in your view a better alternative, otherwise what's the point of complaining about a way of doing things other than being negative?

The accepted theory is that it started from a singularity. And time has no meaning when there's no space (i.e. at a singularity).

Virtue signaling, is based on the premise that talking is easy and it brings you a serotonin rush to be validated by other people that feel the need to show the world they think the same as you, but then, you don't really have to put a

For me, the idea of having it on paper, is also that the definition of words can't be changed to please modern sensibilities. I reckon I don't have an encyclopaedia – my parents didn't have that much money growing up, and now

If intel did provide SR-IOV in their ARC cards, sure, I would agree. But looks like they willingly canibalized a product that could launch their practically non existing GPU server market, so that they wouldn't canibalize the sales of

I don't understand if the author's issue here, is funding anti-abortion movements or because their are doing it in a non transparent way. Abortion is not a human right. You may be freely for or against it based on your values and

Funny thing is that CNN is creating these TV channels in Europe the past couple of years. Here they are following the quasi-extremist line that better suits the opposition of the parties in power in the country in order to get popular engag

Maybe it's just my bubble, but from the projects I've been working on there last 5 years, most gitops is migrating to GitLab. I do keep using GitHub for small personal projects though. The interface to create something very simple

Sincerely I left Netflix at the start of the year due to their apalling content, not really due to the password sharing policy (which was also applied where I live). A couple of my friends did it for the same reason. It was not enough that

That's a strange definition for what constitutes a science. Having data to measure. That would make: literature, arts, law school, sports, and basically any other discipline a science, since all of disciplines have some amount of data
