I don’t know, this seems like something to be taken with a grain of salt. Throughout, the post is dripping with personal contempt for the people he’s talking about. It just seems like he’s taking his personal experience with the “blueskyist

The author seems to underestimate this Supreme Court’s willingness to make nakedly partisan rulings. Edit: oh here we go. Partisan first amendment issues were perfectly fine to discuss here when it was about Twitter. But, different ox being

And now we see them getting main stream networks on a leash. Edit: Not to mention universities. It’s crazy how quickly civil institutions are being consolidated by the right. They have gone all in and there appears to be insufficient appeti

I’m having a hard time imagining where this is useful. If I’m trying to assign to a property, but encounter an intermediate null value in the access chain, just skipping the assignment is almost never going to be what I want to do. I’m goin

Ok, hear me out. How powerful of a battery would we need to turn the blades and nacelle into a helicopter? And just think. Once it arrives on site, you have a big ass grid storage battery to install!

Is there one for 2026? I’m guessing if there is you’ll see one trending down while the other is trending up, for obvious reasons.

So what is it that you’re saying is keeping younger people from getting out? Just the knowledge that there may be people out in the world with them who are creepily obsessing over their birth rate?

And to add, the lawsuit didn’t lose on its merits, but on lack of jurisdiction.

There’s a lot I agree with here, but the section pertaining to Ukraine might as well have been written by Vladimir Putin.

While it’s true that setting a new record isn’t unusual, in the case of 2020, the turnout was actually very high even taking into account population growth.

What low turnout? Both presidential candidates received more votes than anyone had ever received prior to that.

The spacex website indicates that it was indeed an automated check of the tower that caused the catch to be scrapped.

Whatever it was, it seems more likely that it was a booster issue than anything relating to the tower given that they were initially go for the catch. It was only during the boostback burn that they scrapped it.

You don’t value polling, ok. No use continuing to go back and forth about it. Instead, maybe you’ll feel like responding to one of the other commenters that replied to you about prediction markets…

Personally, I don’t care what the “media” was saying. I care what the polling data and the election models based on the polling data were saying. They were saying pretty consistently that this could go either way, but that at the same time

If I confidently declare ahead of time the result of a coin flip, I may turn out to be correct, but my confidence was still unjustified. And furthermore, my getting it right would not necessitate a “fluke”. I’m on Reddit a fair bit and whil

I think there’s a significant difference between using potential motivation to assess the credibility of sources of information and using potential motivation as the basis for creating a narrative about something.

To me it seems like the real world example is one of applying bandaids to the domain model rather than refactoring it. The boolean flag(s) were a good solution until they weren’t, after which they should have been replaced with something el

It’s difficult to imagine that there will be any meaningful limit. Who will there be with any power to apply the brakes?
