Which “liberals” are you talking about? My circle of leftists complained about the CIA just as much during the Obama administration.

I understand that some people have trouble apologizing to children, but could someone help me understand why? I’ve been a parent for almost a decade now, and I can’t count the number of important teaching and bonding moments that have start

How much is that needed? There was very little text on those buttons to begin with. Are there significant cultural differences in the iconography associated with them?

Why not address the actual problem: ability to drive responsibly? Otherwise you’re just creating another privilege for the wealthy. Licensure is already an established practice. Edit: I do want to clarify that I’m not entirely opposed to ta

With Roku built in as well as whatever ad pipeline(s) the TV manufacturer wants. These days my AppleTV is allowed to talk to the internet. My television is not.

I submitted a request for exactly that to my city clerk a few days ago. They confirmed receipt from the clerk and the local PD, but still waiting for anything substantial.

I’m not sure how to say this, so please know that I’m not trying to downplay the experiences you’ve had or the strength of the people involved: I don’t think it’s fair to characterize parents of special needs kids that way. I guarantee they

It’s sad that pragmatically adjusting quotas is never the loudest argument in the room. I’m in favor of greatly increasing legal immigration, providing paths for safe work and citizenship (when that’s the goal). I’ll admit that my idea of a

It’s a cool concept, but I can’t imagine what would make me want to frequent a message board that was explicitly designed to give wealthy users more of a voice. The wealthy have enough ability to project their influence as it is. The idea i

I believe whoever solves the emotional dysregulation that leads to some persecution complexes will genuinely deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. While I doubt this will solve the problem completely, I do see potential for it to prevent discourse

That’s a solid point. I guess profiteering probably isn’t the best impulse.

Honestly it feels more like setting up a lemonade stand along a marathon route that goes right through our collective vegetable gardens. LLMs are on a quest to scrape and steal as much as they can with near complete impunity. I know two wro

I would argue that UPS has the right to know the location of its packages and trucks, but not its drivers. If a driver has to leave for a few hours for a family emergency, UPS no longer has the right to track that driver, as long as they ar

My rule of thumb is that if you’re not measuring anything you’re not engineering. It’s not the whole picture, but to me the engineering part sometimes means being able to explain (and even quantify) why one solution is better than another.

I’ve been coaching my son’s team for the last four years, and this sounds like the breath of fresh air the program desperately needed. Keeping the kids engaged and invested has always been a struggle. Having distinct roles and more robust s

The former. I didn’t realize how few of my projects have even had an intentional architecture. So often they go from feature designs to mockups to tickets to code without any real discussion about how the pieces fit together. There’s certai

I don’t understand why you’re bringing up Obama. Nobody is defending him, and I think you might be inferring some sort of tribalistic defensiveness without any evidence. I see that sort of thing a lot, and I’ve never understood it. Please c

I buy mine from VCoins. They’re pretty inexpensive if you don’t need them certified or anything, and many sellers are very above board and professional.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’m actually getting to the end and wondered where to go next. Perfect timing! I’ll go ahead and order those today :). > Where did you acquire cheap ancient coins? ebay? May be cool to get some for my dnd

I’m reading Domain Driven Development and learning why so many of my projects have been tough to maintain. I also recently learned that you can get ancient coins for very little money if you don’t care about resale value or need them to be

Didn’t you just reinvent the trailer park? What you’re describing sounds like an urban trailer park, and that sounds less than great.

I’m a recovering alcoholic. I’m almost positive that the effects of alcohol are wildly different between the two of us. When I drink my brain spits out more reward chemicals than I know what to do with. It makes me feel extremely energetic

In my experience the higher up you get on the corporate ladder, the less you’re going to be held accountable for anything. Executives only stick around until they get bored or can cash out. Five years down the line it might as well be a tot

Interesting. I didn’t have any issues. Could you elaborate a bit more?

That seems like a strange judgement to make for another person. While I agree that it’s typically better to get updates in person, it may be very difficult to do so based on their circumstances. And judging the importance of someone else’s

I know virtually nothing about architecture or structural engineering, but I imagine all the weight isn’t necessarily going down from floor to floor, but a lot of the weight is attached to support columns, and the floors are built out from

Comics aren’t typically my genre, but I love this concept. I’m not really qualified to comment on the historical plausibility of anything, but I did have one thought: In many cases there were more complicated reasons why a technology took

I’m biased being from the state, but the more I visit Detroit, the more potential I feel like it has. The art scene is blossoming there, but the metro area feels dormant (not dead). I imagine there are a lot of institutional issues to overc
