This is so good and almost exactly expresses my own thoughts. There's a narrow window where it's capable and fits a need of tedious work (mostly around automating tasks it would take me a bit to remember all the arguments and comm

Yeah I’m still going to read AND write code thanks.

I think it’s both but depends on the device. For a tractor or car the author’s case is mostly correct. For a smart watch it’s more likely what you describe.

That’s because certain dog breeds aren’t more likely to maul and saying otherwise is ignorant fear mongering.

Here’s a simple decision tree: Do you run any exotic hardware? Do you run MS Office regularly? Do you run any highly specialized software? If the answer is no to all those then Linux is worth a shot.

Yes but the headwinds of Linux adoption are (to some extent) that Linux is the best choice for A, but it is not far and away the best choice for B (not saying it’s bad or even worse than Windows, it’s just not CLEARLY better). But when you

I don't think I understand the point of this. I colored in the players for US, Russia, and China (should be that way by default I'd have thought). But I have no idea what to "simulate". I do see in the site meta that it&

I do things for free all the time. I love my kids for free. I serve the less fortunate for free. If I have the time and resources and it makes the world a better place free is my default price. That being said I also produce software for a

For sure. We could never have universal benefits like roads, childhood education, firefighters, etc. That would never work.

Considering Mozilla’s flagship browser (Firefox desktop) doesn’t even support the feature, I don’t exactly take that as a good sign.

Means testing has its own issues. How do you decide what the lines are? How do you design it for people just outside those lines that keeps it fair? Who enforces it? What happens when your means change? Figuring all this stuff has a cost, b

Ahh so the constitution doesn’t apply to non-citizens? The Supreme Court disagrees: There are literally millions of aliens within the jurisdiction of the United States. The Fifth Amendment, as well as the Fourteenth Amendment, protect

Free speech means you have the right to campaign for those very things. Criticism is the most fundamental aspect of free speech.

“Here’s the thing: I am 100% sure these things are connected. The more people block ads, the more aggressive advertising became.” This is naive at best. Some of the worst ads (popups/popunders/autoplay flash with sound) existed ye

It would also be, in my opinion, very against the spirit of Open Source to require an account to download code for a piece of software.

A group is a collection of individuals. Anecdotes != data and whatnot, but by my observations people don’t always make purely rational economic decisions, so if you were going to a see people quitting over UBI you’d already see it. Of cours

I think this goes to something I’ve been seeing a lot of lately. People will hold an opinion for emotional reasons instead of logical reasons, and those speaking to them will get frustrated trying to “logic” them out of it (evidence, studie
