Thanks for all the downvotes with no cogent argument against my points. I will explain it very simply why you are engaging in nothing more than sophistry: - My original post puts forth an interesting double standard, where when a non-cop fi

I'll also add that I think it's a bad law if everyone breaks it, yet police look the other way. The beauty of a democratic republic is our elected leaders can change laws and pass new ones! So, just like this case where the people

Again, more sophistry. Take the argument head on. Do you believe the cops are breaking the law, yes or no?

Your first bit isn't an example of a legal workaround, it's an example of attempted sophistry for illegal behavior. Are you implying that the cops in this case broke the law? I don't think that is clear. Cops should be able t

I am also in favor of catching violent criminals. And as such I join you in the downvote fest. Of course, no one puts forth a cogent argument about why catching violent criminals with this technology is bad. Can it be abused? Yes. Was it ab

The article mentions a guy "charged with aggravated assault for allegedly charging toward someone with a knife". I'd say getting that guy into trial is good for NOT harming people

Funny how when one of us finds a workaround it's regarded as a hack and clever and a sign of how talented and 'relentlessly resourceful' we are. When a cop does it, oh god no the sky is falling. Asking a neighboring dept for

I would like to see one on all Apple's latest advancements. The hype: "SwiftUI, async/await and actors, and declarative animations make building a robust app easier than ever". The shower: "Imperative programming is

> My guess is that none of this can easily be fixed. Systems like DALL-E and ChatGPT are essentially black boxes. GenAI systems don’t give attribution to source materials because at least as constituted now, they can’t. Is it necessary t

I'm not sure that's actually true, even though we hear it often. The artists I know (about a dozen) are all trying to figure out how to make _more_ money from their art so that they can continue making their art

I'm grateful for the last several days spent w my family, including my 18 month old nephew who made us all absurdly happy. He is the first of the next generation in my family. Just a wonderful time

Learning the contract is great, thank you for the work! How about the infra stack used by imessages? Does anyone have intel on that? The scale is incredible, which always makes me wonder how it can be so good while other apple web services

I'll bite on "just a fad in webdev circles", in case you are serious and not trolling. Railsworld is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Rails this year. As I'm sure you know, Rails is built on Ruby. 20 years does not fi

Only one of the items in your "such as" list is unique to python's philosophy, and that is "there should be one way to do it". Ruby embraces the many ways to accomplish something, it's true. However, the three

I can also vouch that what the author is saying is true. I've started publishing my notes, and I found that after three weeks none of them were indexed (and yes I submit a sitemap through google webmaster tools). I have since started u

I love this because it's another example of us not really knowing what's going on and using blunt instruments. What should we do next? Blast it with ultrasound!
