If it is/can be used to track citizens arbitrarily regardless of crime, it is spying, regardless where the cameras are. You might be right that the issues could be solved without removing the cameras, but they definitely will be solved

I believe the first Command & Conquer was the one I played that way. But I'm young, so it can't possibly be the same, can it?

1) (all) tariffs aren't obviously and universally bad, only when applied universally without any coherent long term goal/strategy. 2) retaliatory tariffs are targeting the hostile actor, not widely against all (other) trading part

I'm unsure how you reach the conclusion of "self-interest". Unions are about collective bargaining power, reaching (ideally) what's best for most of the people it represents, even if it's detrimental to you specific

Sure, but I'm not comparing credit cards to cash, but credit card incumbents to hypothetical lower rate ones that don't offer rewards in exchange for risk and busywork.

Cashback is definitely capped, I'm less sure on other forms of rewards, but by my napkin comparisons, I do get out more "value" from my credit cards than the fees and cashback caps. YMMV of course.

While I hate that it's like this, you're leaving money on the table. Currently you're keeping money in the bank accruing the bank interest to occasionally pay for stuff. With a credit card you would get various bonuses/c

Imagine a world where the pipeline from extra fees back to hoop-hopping cashback didn't exist and your services were just cheaper by the same percentage points instead. It's designed to make money off people slipping up instead of

No; one is asking, the other is asserting. One can only end in a question mark, the other can end with a period.

That's not the scenario GP was asking for legal basis for, it was explicitly where police haven't informed you yet.

Let's say I want to retire my laptop to my kid, so I reformat it. Are you saying in the eventuality that federal police then wants my laptop that I have committed a crime? If so, on that assumption, should no one ever be able to erase

I prefer TUIs personally, but I can't see myself use maps, or visual image editing in a TUI for example, but is vi infinitely faster than vscode for manipulating a codebase? Absolutely. Anything that lends itself to keyboard input, pip

If age of conventions is a valuable metric, TUIs have more. The keyboard hasn't change noticeably, and I can work way faster between separate windows/panes in a terminal and tmux, than in various GUI windows, where mouse focus dic

Correct, I was treating their claim as true for the sake of argument, not accepting it.

I'm not claiming an LLM writes better than me.

And yet more meaningful than that is what the debt increase is spent on. If it's infrastructure/education/etc, productivity/population welfare will rise over time. If it's debt through tax cuts, temporary productivi

My pushback on that would be that all of the "engineering" concering a rewrite was already done the first time around. It's a glorified translation. I do agree that the port would've taken a lot longer without LLMs thoug

This is so incredibly tiresome. I quoted Dr Wu in this literal thread, the actual author of the Stanford study. You're the one disagreeing with him.
