You can go back to requiring home assignments be written by hand. It won't completely fix the AI issue, because you can still ask ChatGPT and then rewrite it, but it helps because it's very tedious and time consuming, so the benef

First you would need to define a measure of inferiority. I'm pretty sure we have measured some very spicific things, and found that different races on average have some genetic advantages and disadvantages. Is saying that Asians are

"X can seem sensible and logical if you ignore sense and logic and believe your emotions instead". Yes, that's true for everything, and it is exactly what believing your emotions over facts means.

Well, I still believe it's going to be good eventually. Like KSP1, for example, or No Man's Sky. There certainly have both the resources and a guaranteed player base to make that happen. That said, I cannot be sure of that, so I w

As always, it's a tradeoff. Sometimes it's a problem, sometimes the same thing is a critical feature. Which is why it's so important that you have multiple choices. If you need the latest packages, use Arch. If you need stabi

> All green bets like diesel, biomass, natural gas That's a huge clue right there. Germany bet on the most conservative solutions (keeping their diesel cars and house heating systems) and guess what, they don't work. Burning fo

It isn't so much about competitiveness or pettiness, but rather about individualism. Americans for some reason always like to think that everything was invented by a single super-genious individual working alone in a cave with a box of

It kinda makes more sense for OpenTTD. The game is famous for creating huge complicated networks for moving cargo and passengers, it is natural that the devs gravitate towards huge complicated computer networks too.

> achieving freedom takes a LONG time. It requires a lot of work, strategy, and discipline. Ah, yes. Only work will set you free. What a reasonable statement.

Bitcoin would solve this, if it was actually used (or fit to be used) as intended - people keeping their own wallets and making on-chain transaction. However, because it is so poorly designed, almost nobody does that, and instead store thei

This is exactly what gets me every time some German "institute" publishes a study how electric cars pollute more than gas cars. They count everything that goes into producing electricity, but never what goes into extracting, refin

If you're on AWS or GCP or Azure, and they terminate your account, and you use only the "standard" services (raw instances, k8s, database, redis, queues, email, etc.) it's generally relatively easy to migrate to one of t

The opening is already completely missing the point. In Bob's book, the comment is highlighted because the paragraph is talking about the comment. Drawing a red circle around something you want to point out doesn't mean that that

I really don't understand all these complaints about how Kubernetes is so complex, how it's an investment etc. I am a single developer that uses Kubernetes for two separate projects, and in both cases it has been a breeze. Each se

Stress is more about the feeling of control rather than actual control. And you absolutely feel more in control in close combat than when you're targeted by artillery. For a relatable example, compare driving a car to riding in a rolle

The simple answer is that the cool system has a very uniform temperature (because it's been at that temperature for a long time), while the hot system that's cooling down is doing so with large spatial variations of temperature. I

It's almost certain the secret mission was to capture a satellite in a single orbit, that's the only reason for the wings to be so big, in addition to the cargo space. If you're in space for a long time, you can time your deo

No, those do not see any benefit from me visiting the site beyond what the government is paying them for. Analytics does, they get my data.

It's actually quite simple. The government can buy things services from specific providers, but it cannot force you to buy services from specific providers. In other words, it can buy BMWs for government use, but it cannot say "yo
