I find it deeply ironic that you accuse the public of lacking critical thinking about the externalities of agriculture but claim data centers produce no long term pollutants whatsoever. Demand for compute hardware has skyrocketed, and produ

You’re assuming that the goal for a guitar player is to have perfectly optimal instrument when in reality many players want an instrument that feels and sounds like the artists that inspire them. Aesthetics is part of that but if they enjoy

How is photoshop a classic example when all of the icons and controls are quite literally grey in grey like the person you quoted was denouncing?

You’ve been combative throughout this thread, and it's clear that you don’t see typography or design as disciplines that warrant serious thought. I don't think you're actually willing to engage with an explanation of why it m

What a ridiculous bad faith deflection. No other auto maker is explicitly and aggressively aligning itself with the current administration and their policies. Tesla’s CEO wants to associate his company with a political vision and is vocal a

Let's just consider Los Angeles for a second. For decades working class immigrants were pushed to the foothills in Altadena by redlining policies which placed them at risk for wildfires. Today their risk is exponentially greater due to

Having a preference for large suburban homes is fine, but your view of vulnerable people in your community is gross. It sounds like you'd rather insulate yourself from the failures of your local gov't, which is a privilege many pe

There are lots out there, but a popular model you could check out is the Loop Engage. They suppress certain frequencies more than others to help distinguish speech from background noise.

I would imagine the sporting body would be concerned that any crowd member with a flipper zero could remotely shift gears on a racer's bike and possibly render it immobile.

Except they're stepping far over that line! You can use a Patreon subscription on all platforms, same as a Spotify or Netflix or Kobo... and yet they want a cut even when they have no part in the payment processing. Totally indefensibl

For who? Was that the best option for the employees who relied on the income? Or the customers who enjoyed the food? There are plenty of actions that are rational from an economics standpoint as long as you don't care about any of the

In the U.S. where this lawsuit was filed, Apple controls 50-60% of the smartphone market, where the next largest competitor Samsung holds only 20-25% [1]. Among U.S. teenagers the iPhone has a massive 87% market share [2]. That is indisputa

I strongly discourage anyone to use such tools. More often than not they make the user experience even worse for users with disabilities, and they paint a huge target on your back that litigious users will take advantage of. The majority of

1/6 is 4/24 or 16.6%, I don't see why we have to be so pedantic. That aside, the work of prioritizing accommodations is already done. Just read through the WCAG criteria, start with level A, then AA. They already determined w

Are you seriously claiming that the actual systemic racism in our society is discrimination against white people? I just struggle to imagine someone holding this belief in good faith.

How does consumer protection === higher prices? And anyway I would rather that nobody be scammed out of money instead of a select few with the means to play the game (who could afford to pay more anyway) coming out on top.

The EU already has robust digital privacy laws and is likely to continue passing laws to protect their citizens. I think it's much better to take control away from Apple and place it in the hands of regulators that represent the people

I shouldn't be surprised given what website I'm on, but it's crazy that people will litigate the finer points of replacing human judgement of human arts rather than reject the premise outright.

I sounds like you don't value art as the purest form of human expression but you'll never be able to convince others to think like you with logic. For my part I think you fundamentally misunderstand the value of creativity but I k

As a second anecdote, I also rented one from Hertz (Polestar 2) and while it could navigate me to charging stations, at least 50% of the time I was unable to charge at a given location due to technical issues. It was bad enough that I had t

And if we're hunting for dragons should we wait until we find one and bring it to the castle before we start discussing how to protect people from it?

If anything ONLY huge for-profit companies have the knowledge and resources to build their own engines. Without Unity or whatever takes its place thousands of indie devs would never have get off the ground.

In a 50 mile radius around me there are 44 officially sanctioned Pokemon tournaments happening this month. If you look outside your social circle you'll find that a lot of people play the #2 TCG in the world
