Hate speech applies to particular characteristics that essentially never include "having lots of money".

It seems fairly obvious that what happens is a tariff is applied to the items entering the US and not the oil going to Cuba. If you trade oil with cuba, then any trade with the US will be subject to the tariff.

You’re proving the point. None of this is rational discourse. “you’re a criminal”, “ you’re a slave”, “you’re a crab”. We get it, you don’t like paying taxes. > The only purpose of your meager existence is to make your owners more wealth

No, it's about your viewpoint on taxation and how it's a pointless task to try and reason with a person that takes that stance. "Respecting the lives of others" doesn't preclude taxation to any rational person.

You're right, I completely forgot about what you put in that first comment because it seemed like extremely wishful thinking, bordering on gaslighting. Then, given all the comments since then that have been explicitly about taxation, I

I’m looking for you to back up your perspective with context in this thread that gave you that perspective.

I guess I'm confused why I ought to care what Christ or Spooner think about taxation?

I still cannot see how you get that impression.

Not sure how you reconcile this take with "People don't like being robbed, PERIOD, especially not to pay for a bunch of weed smokers to sit at home relaxing on their dime. There will be blood." This person doesn't like t

This is such a bad faith argument. Society has largely agreed that welfare is a valuable thing to do, from disability to social security. Calling taxation theft just says that you aren't able to be rational about this.

The contention is with "good". Is it good to have a bunch of people becoming emotionally stunted in case a handful dig further? Presumably there were people moved to stoicism prior to the current influencer trend, is that not good

Hmm. That’s not “the fast ones”, that’s specifically and purposefully built for the purpose of hitting a high speed. Can’t seem to find 0-218 time to see how it would compare with a geared ICE motorcycle. I’m not convinced it’s getting to t

Please, for the love of god, do not pull LLMs into the mix. I just want the keyboard to display what I'm typing.

> I've never noticed the "censorship issue" Really? If you swipe "kill" and then try "yourself" or "myself" does it ever get it right or provide it as one of the options? Doing it right now my

Switched from pixels to iphone in the last year or two and the keyboard is the biggest pain point by far. I tend to use swipe, so this particular issue isn't something I've come across. What I do run into is weird censorship issue

But how many EV bikes can even hit 90?

by baseballdork 9mo ago
Sure, but when you can get to 90mph in first gear, does that matter?

by baseballdork 9mo ago
Are they faster? I guess at some point it comes down to gearing, but a liter bike is hitting 300km/h and has more than enough torque to loop you from standing still. I'm not sure what an electric motor adds here for hobbyists or s

> At big tech over 40% of checked in code is LLM generated. At smaller companies the proportion is larger. I have a really hard time believing that stat without any context, is there a source for this?

I mostly agree here, but the other side is now maintainers will be aware that not merging a PR could financially impact someone. I don't know that that's a great system, either.

Probably that one of the original comments on this thread suggested using another free and open source thing instead of using this free and open source thing? Why is linux exempt from "it comes with free malware" and not this othe

Sure, lots of people are in the market. However, a very small portion of people own the overwhelming majority of the market. Top 10% owned 93% of shares in 2023. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stoc
