In addition to what the other commenter said, my main gripe with it was that it felt a tad bit racially discriminatory (only speaking from my own experience). I'm not a white man, and I worked in towns with predominantly white populati

Hey, I'm also a former civil engineer-turned SWE in the NJ/NYC area! Nice to know that there are more of us out there. I already spend hours looking through Wikipedia articles, so when your site dropped I was on it right away. I d

Hey, I agree that he probably would never identify as a neo-Nazi. I think he thought he was being really cool and edgy throwing out the salute that was co-opted/adjusted by the Nazi party. The company he keeps still informs us on what

Here's an example of Elon Musk agreeing with a man who repeated an antisemitic belief that the Jewish community is inviting immigrants to further racism against the white population (also alluding to the Great Replacement theory - and

I'd love to know as well - I found some documentation on the Racket site, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at here. https://docs.racket-lang.org/inside/ios-cross-compilation.ht...

Speaking as US citizen, what policies/legislation could Trudeau have reasonably enacted to alleviate the housing/job market? It's been pretty rough stateside as far as real estate goes, but it doesn't seem like a solutio

I've seen his story across various sources - has he ever elaborated on specific quantities/ratios? I haven't seen anyone reproduce his regimen for his cats, and I'd love to see some more concrete evidence that the diet i

There's nothing inherently negative about going rogue and hacking - I think few would deny that that's what Snowden did.

As someone whose favorite book was Brave New World growing up, I've found that it's unfortunately become a catchall for any technological breakthrough with (ostensibly) chilling ramifications for the future.

I tried looking up what Mengzi might mean in Brazil (or alternatively, in Portuguese) and couldn't find anything. Would you mind elaborating?

For what it's worth, I watched the show while working/cleaning and the later seasons felt pretty decent. Its seventh and (I believe) final season is premiering in two days. I can definitely feel the influence of Aaron Ehasz, and a

Fully agree. In my college ecology course, my professor stressed that sequestration/capture, while not ideal, will likely be crucial as our production of greenhouse gases outpaces the rate of absorption by plant biomass and ocean algae

I'm nowhere near an expert on this subject, but I've heard that E. coli can be a serious issue with uncooked flour. Not sure if anyone else was concerned about these flour nano-noodles touching wounds (as they're not cooked,

I wasn't around for this specific era, but the way users of BlueSky are able to dive deep into technological waters reminds me of how people talk about learning HTML for the first time while using MySpace. Social media is a more satura

I've been eyeing quant dev as a career path for quite some time, but it's always felt like a longshot given my background (non-CS degree). As someone with frontend experience (Vue.js) at a startup and backend experience (ASP.NET)

As much as there is a deluge of brainrot, some fairly well-spoken experts do exist on the platform and have disseminated more up-to-date information about their specialty, so I'm inclined to agree.

I was responding with an anecdote to the comment that sometimes it's important to communicate concerns, even if it means being a killjoy. Didn't mean for it to sound like I was trying to equate the AI hat-dropper to potentially ov

Case in point - my friends wanted to imbibe a certain white powder with alcohol and I had to let them know that it is magnitudes more toxic to take them together. Did they have a less fun time? Probably. But I won't have their prematur

Great take, fully agree. My wife falls into a similar camp as the person you're close to, although she did end up eventually getting diagnosed with autism. It was only because the topic had become so casual on platforms like TikTok and
