Right, it seems just like a marketing blip, which is bad , because marketing isn't meant to be informative, it's meant to be manipulative. If we're using AI and we're still getting the gobbley gook nothing burger market

I've noticed the less American and less wealthy people are, the more normal their kids interact with the world, i.e. "free range". I don't know what it is about rich white people and freaky helicopter parenting. I also n

You can get snapshots and live migrations working on-prem. The cloud isn't magic, it's just servers with hypervisors and software running on top of them. You can run that same software. Also, with something like Hetzner you would

Yes, it's complex software that has to interact very closely with the hardware and it's written in C++. Those aren't excuses, but they are explanations. The competition from Adobe crashes a lot, too. It's not necessarily

I definitely think they should be coerced to host content if they insist on being the only avenue of getting content out on the platform. If they don't want that burden, which is very understandable, then maybe they shouldn't be t

We never had any progressive extremists in the US. Our last president was center, maybe slightly right of center. Our current president is a far-right fascist.

Wanting to be with someone of a similar or same religion is not racist. Choosing to be with someone of a different religion and/or culture, and then expecting them to assimilate to your culture, IS racist. You don't have to do t

Past performance is never a guarantee of future performance, that's a gambler's fallacy. Just because we found out more groundbreaking stuff before, doesn't mean we will continue to do so. There are actually hard limits to th

Prescribing antibiotics for contagious bacterial infections is their exact usage. Some doctors argue against using antibiotics for strep, but it's definitely debatable.

Usually when things are "in our individual hands" it ends very poorly. This is because humans are actually extremely easy to exploit. Our biology is very stupid and also dumb, so even basic attacks can cause us to self-destruct. A

It depends on what the other consequences are, obviously. I can fix the problem right now. We just throw all the children into the orphan grinder. Can't sexualize ground meat. Is that what you want? Wooooww, so you're telling me y

No, people were definitely much, much worse in the past. Rape was more prevelent, so was racism and homophobia. It was basically okay to physically harm people so long as they were "weirdos", whatever that meant at the time.

No this is literally in the agile manifesto. It's not logic at all, it's the written word of what agile is. What that means is that Agile and agile are not the same thing. Most companies practice Agile, very few are agile.

It's true though, these regulations exists because speculation and profit-chasing in agriculture is what lead to the dust bowl and worsened the great depression. We really, really don't want a repeat of that.

All of those are basically low wage garbage jobs. We have little to no respect for them as a society, too, to add insult to injury. If it were up to me, I'd be flipping burgers right now. But I literally can't do that, it doesn&#x

A DC does not have a few hundred full time people on site 24/7, it's going to be less than a dozen. It takes much, much less people to run a data center than people think.

Heating homes keeps humans alive who then go onto work, creating economic value. A DC supplies, like, 12 jobs maybe. The 10,000 homes worth of power it uses supplies 20,000 jobs, maybe more if some older kids are working at the local Dairy
