When one side is suspiciously quiet or supportive about legislation that's against their publicly stated goals, it's because they secretly want it too.

I know that experimental fashion can be dumb but this is cool as fuck.

I think jumping straight to calling Spez a Nazi is ridiculous.

On the other hand, Reddit has repeatedly aggressively looked the other way when it came to communities that blatantly violated the rules such as The Donald, jailbait, etc, while cracking down on and banning far milder users and communities.

If she really wants to feel better, she can just try inflating the housing market.

I was kind of with you until saying they're "being a fucking idiot."

Encouraging someone to help out? Great.

Browbeating someone for voicing the viewpoint or experience a lot of users are facing? We can do better than that.

The best ones can literally write pretty good code, and explain any concept on the Internet to you that you ask them to. If you don't understand a specific thing about their explanation, they can add onto their explanation, and they can respond in the style you want (explain as if I'm ten, explain as if I'm an undergrad, etc).

I use it literally every day for work in a somewhat niche field. I don't really agree that it's a "parlor trick".

Sure, in the short term. I've switched to DDG and I'm not getting another Pixel when I need a new phone, and hoards of tech savvy people are feeling the same way. Dissatisfaction is causing them to lose customers and talent.

Eventually, they'll start feeling it in their bottom line. And by then it might be too late to change course.

It's not about spite. It's about not wanting your past work and creativity to continue to help an individual and a company who are bad for society, and who are destroying a platform many people loved.

Old-school AI systems from way back in the day called Expert Systems were just a crapload of IF statements. There's never been a concrete agreed-upon definition of AI because there's never been an agreed-upon definition of the word Intelligence.

Fascinating that people with stutters can be helped by practicing speaking with speech jammers.

It makes me think about how ADHD medication will make people without ADHD more distractible while it'll help focus people with it.

This is very nice to see after the clusterfuck with Asthon Kutcher and Mila Kunis supporting their rapist friend AFTER they knew he had been ruled guilty...

It looks like it!

Looks like the only completed Gen 3 nuclear reactors are in Asia, at Kashiwazaki (Japan), Kori (South Korea), Yangjiang, Fangchenggang, Tianwan (China), and Kudankulam (India).

Edit: I missed the Gen III+ part of that Wikipedia page. The other currently operation or under construction Gen 3+ reactors are in Sanmen, Shidao Bay, Taishan (China), Novovoronezh II, Leningrad II, Kursk (Russia), Akkuyu (Turkey), Rooppur (Bangladesh).

Canadian government at all levels is failing Canadians when it comes to housing.

It's a crisis and I honestly don't know what the solution is.

I heard rumors a few years ago that they were already separated. Weird that they're supposedly going on a family vacation right after announcing that they're separating.

I think that's their point: That maybe, as long as a candidate is mentally fit, then voters ought to be able to continue voting for them if they feel like the candidate is still worth voting for.

Honestly, if there was some kind of magical bullet to simply ban candidates who are mentally unfit (i.e. losing their marbles) from holding office that couldn't be exploited, I think a lot of people would find that preferable to an age limit.

That doesn't address issues like politicians who are too technologically illiterate to do things like open PDF files, though.
