That's fine, but arguing that Google should give accurate times based on where you are is ... crazy? In the pre-LLM days it was cool that Google did weather, unit conversions, spor…

Yes, but I wouldn't fault Texas for producing electricity to sell to other states. And in any case, that lowers Texan per capita consumption even more given that they're not actual…

> This is, putting it gently, not a majority opinion in the US and especially not in Texas. Texas is the largest producer of renewable energy in the country.

The same could be said for someone taking a university course where Rudin is the textbook, and they rely on the professor/TA to help them understand the book. This is needlessly ni…

Every company has lots of people trying to be Cassandras. The problem isn't that no one is interested - it's that they don't know which 1 out of 10 of the folks complaining actuall…

It was bad long before they increased the character limit. Saying shitty/toxic stuff can be done concisely. Giving a nuanced response is simply not possible. So people respond with…

The character limit is, in my opinion, the primary reason Twitter became so bad. It encourages absolute language (qualifiers take up characters!) It discourages any level of nuance…

Reminds me of org-social ( https://github.com/tanrax/org-social ) > Notes are limited to 280 characters. The constraint keeps them quick to write and read, making room for one thou…

> So, it comes down to if you believe a couple judges ruling on a couple cases is the right way to determine a world-altering new legal framework. It's not an either-or.

> Because of the rulings of a couple of judges. Is that actually what the majority of people think? There's a good reason for the law not to be based on what the majority thinks.

Oh - I was and still am absolutely against Uber's tactics in expanding to cities. I still do not use Uber unless I travel to countries where that's the only option.
