For the uninitiated… Cory Doctorow laid it out in a fantastic post that’s become legend rather quickly. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

This is true. If you live near an airport the disclosure is required by law if you buy a house in the are. However, it doesn’t preclude expansion and changes. If for example your airport moves from 12 hour a day to round-the-clock flights..

How? Homeowners associations. I planted milkweed in an empty side yard and was cited for the same thing. Also I was cited for having a browning lawn. My neighbors brought me a bag of weed-and-feed (basically lawn seed with pesticide) becaus

I really think the US should require all college grads to spend a year overseas in a country that speaks a different language. I got an education and then I got a real education from travel myself.

With all respect I don’t see how this changes anything but shifting who pays. How is it better to pool risks to the group rather than the individual paying a for that risk? The US already has a huge problem with coastal real estate and fede

No that’s exactly what we want. We want the free market to create efficiency without entrenched regulation, which could lead to some short-term increase in risk. But what you really want is to price in the risk, and the only way to do that

Mozilla seems to have integrity. It’s great to see. They should take the momentum of these values and launch an alternative to gmail.

None of this moves the needle on anything that matters to me. I don’t want to pay another subscription for yet another business that doesn’t offer material benefit. I love the long form, but I want specific benefits that matter more than as

And you consider that different from the current generation of sites how? All kidding aside I think the overall level of USABILITY of websites is much higher than it ever has been today. But in large part that’s because they are all followi

How will I ever execute my plan to explore the eroding atmospheres of exoplanets when apple can’t even be bothered to handle a little helium. Jeez...

No it only proves they reject ads from the founder of the company. That’s the only proof you can establish based on the facts. There is no evidence they are vetting anything, and in fact it’s more likely they just filter out zuck.* than the

I had a 13 inch MacBook Pro 2016. Sold it. Went back to using my 2013 MacBook Pro. I have an iPhone 7 and I miss my headphone jack every day. The best phone I ever owned was the se. Apple is happily going off in a nonsense direction where t

My sentiment exactly. I hope this does a fiery death. I will do everything in my power to resist this “innovation.” Who exactly in the state of California thinks this is worth trialing anyways? I would like to have our representatives pass

Yea when someone in the public eye forgets the lessons they teach in kindergarten it’s always a little disappointing. I imagine he is mad at the guy, but I wish he would show a little less hubris. Nobody is perfect. Hope he learns to apolog

The system has values that aren’t very fulfilling (wealth, power, consumerism). I think a lot of people feel like you do. No advice really. It’s totally true. You are on the one hand a dynamic individual with much to offer the world. Yet at

Keep going. Don’t quit. Don’t get discouraged. Keep applying. All careers require “finding your break.” It may take time. The worst thing you can do is get discouraged. You should put four hours into finding a job every day and four hours i

I think it’s a reference to the famous anti-torrenting campaign that equates real world theft with torrenting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HmZm8vNHBSU

I emphatically agree with every point. I am in the exact same position and feel exactly the same. I bought a 2016 13” MacBook Pro and got rid of it because it just wasn’t... better. Still using a laptop and a desktop from 2013. And waiting.

Why is it in the best interests of those developers to persue an academic degree rather than real world experience, setting aside the rather hefty financial reasons for a moment? That seems to be the underpinning question here...

Is it possible to do this in discord? I think it would be much more successful than phpbb.
