No, NYC is far, far safer than other large US cities. It’s the subject of attention because NYC is always the subject of attention.

"Quite easily" isn't true in most cases, but embeddings are sometimes reversible. We know this because programs like Stable Diffusion sometimes output near-perfect copies of training data when given the correct prompt, and ge

As someone who lives in a ski town, they are far too expensive for normal people to live there. Local businesses can't find employees, and homelessness has risen dramatically. A huge number of units in the town sit empty most of the ye

In this case, it's price fixing because two or more landlords are agreeing to not lower their prices beyond a certain point.

I think the key here is “at their jobs and careers”. New generations just don’t see their careers as the center of their livelihood. Their goals have nothing to do with climbing the ladder. It’s not a victim mentality to just refuse to part

I mean, there's about a hundred thousand startups built on top of their API. I'm sure most could switch to another model if they really needed, but if copyright is an issue, I'm not sure that would help.

You know what’s actually a waste of my time? Cleaning out my fridge of all the food waste generated because I couldn’t actually buy just 1 carrot, I have to buy 3 pounds wrapped in plastic for some reason.

My take is that “counterculture” is the wrong thing to look for when talking about changing the system. What’s actually going to do that is an entire generation that basically has decided to not try at their jobs and careers. Previous gener

Or because the prevention ends up killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Oh, and it turns out the reason you supposedly went to war in the first place is completely fake.

You’re not disagreeing with the parent. They admitted GTO does not maximally exploit suboptimal strategies in their comment.

I feel like a lot of this is just that ADHD brains (and brains in general) want to work at the right level of abstraction. If I have to add headers to 20 word docs, it’s probably a bit quicker to do that manually than to write a script to d

The problem is that getting to run for president requires a constant stream of money throughout your entire political career (or you need to have your own funds to contribute). This acts as a filter for any candidates that take anti-investo

I specifically said “draconian drug laws” and didn’t go into which ones I believed were bad, because that’s not the point of the discussion. The point is that those laws continue to exist to fill prisons and keep the prison industrial compl

Keeping someone trapped in order to force them to do work is called “slavery” and it’s generally frowned upon in the modern era. There shouldn’t be profit associated with prisoners, that’s how you get wrongful arrests and draconian drug law

The plastic bags in places like NYC are usually 25-50 cents. It’s stupid to force those on people when paper bags exist and barely have an effect on the environment. Also, half the grocery stores in the US only stock things like spinach in

I’m not sure what your point is here. The adult thing to do if you’re an addict is to move as far away from your addiction as possible. That is what self discipline looks like.

That makes sense and I’d support that. In New York and New Jersey all single-use bags are banned and I’m almost positive it’s counterproductive. Especially in NYC where many people aren’t using cars to grocery shop and can’t keep a bag stas

The scenario is this: you show up to the grocery store and you don’t have a reusable bag today. Maybe you forgot to re-stash it in your car after bringing in groceries last time, maybe you walked there and don’t carry a bag on you. If you l

The polite thing to do if you have a feature you think would make a FOSS project better is to submit a feature request first. If the maintainers decide they won’t support your feature quickly enough or at all, then fork it. GP did the right
