2017 is quite a long time ago, especially in terms of how long smartphones have been around (and arguably even in terms of how long cell phones have been mainstream). The US is way behind here.

This is absolutely a false equivalence. Google and Meta choose to give the government all sorts of data that they're not required by law to give, because they don't see it as worthwhile to go to bat for their users. You can choose

Most advertised commercial uses of "AI" are glorified search. This seems like an improvement in that space?

You greatly overestimate how long systematic weather data collection has occurred across even first-world countries, nevermind the rest of the globe. There are certainly many, many places _right now_ where daily weather info isn't logg

25 feet is actually pretty far. You could be on top of a two story building or across the street and still be "too close". Obviously neither of those cases would interfere with an officer's duties. To me this law is clearly o

In pure water it's not an issue. In drinking water which has all sorts of "stuff", getting very to that level of precision isn't easy.

What is your alternative which is better than a jury trial?

IANAL and all that... If it's truly accidental (as in a rogue employee or a script that f'd up), they probably have a legal basis to break the contract/license terms and retract it. Just as stores are not required to honor mi

I consider line wrapping to also be part of a sufficiently smart editor, and line limits should also go away in an ideal world. The limiting factor on line length should be "is this too complex for your coworkers to understand"

The grocer's apostrophe (which I will argue should be called the grocers'(1) apostrophe, since there are many offending grocers) is the bane of my existence (1) My phone absolutely tried to correct that back to "grocer's

I maintain, that if everybody used a sufficiently smart editor, tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment would be the objectively correct choice.

This exactly. I've got all six original Star Trek films on UHD blu-rays. I was recently visiting my mother and we watched The Voyage Home (the one with the whales) streaming on her TV. The compression artifacts were immediately apparen

If it's the one I'm thinking of: the title was about government, but all of the examples in the article were private firms with profit motives. The author implied that government must work the same way as industry, but that's

Yup. At a previous employer we had a "loop until [list] is empty" in our interpreter. This list would be appended to by any recursion in the interpreted language (effectively saying "this recursion also needs to be processed&

You over estimate the 'semi-pro' market for graphics cards. Gamers are barely willing to pay for 20GB. There's no market for consumer cards with an order of magnitude more RAM until games are built to use that memory.

I started the topic, and you chose to respond to it. The topic and contest is "the concept of professionalism is used as a tool to oppress people" (although I phrased it gentler). I said nothing about social filtering. You chose t

That doesn't address my assertion that "unprofessional" is used as a cudgel to abuse minorities.

How is any of that related to the issues I raised? I never argued that any of that was acceptable. I'm not arguing that anyone should be able to do anything in the workplace, and that is a bad-faith reading of what I said. People are a

If a coworker can't handle a woman wearing pants instead of a skirt, can't handle a black person wearing their hair in a way that's comfortable, or can't handle a queer coworker dressing in queer ways... They're the

Primarily, I'm alluding to it being considered "unprofessional" for queer people to be themselves in the workplace, as that is the particular thorn I've been pricked with. But there are other fun ways "professionali

Both. The entire concept of "professionalism" is based around the idea that certain people should be dishonest about themselves in public, for the sake of others' comfort.

Bike lanes aside, if they aren't checking their shoulder they could also easily hit a person approaching the crosswalk. GP is just a shitty driver, is my takeaway.

This varies state-by-state. In Oregon the bike lane is not a turning lane, and the locals will express their displeasure if you use it as such. We have bike boxes and lots of no-right-turn-on-red signs instead.
