It really sounds like you’re part of the problem.

Visiting another city is not in any way comparable to living there. Or would you defer to the opinion of some tourist who visited NYC for a random weekend?

I haven't owned a car in the past decade, but the last car I did own was an Audi S5 and I thought it was pretty nearly perfect. Manual transmission, naturally aspirated V8, 4 wheel…

I think that's gonna be a hell of a long list.

Indeed. As I recall about 80% of pharmaceutical profits are made in the United States, while these same drugs are sold in other countries at much lower negotiated prices.

I don't think things are nearly as "broken" as these types of alarmist takes make it out to be. Quite the contrary I think FOSS is a model that other industries would do well to ad…

For free? Hell no, I work for GitHub stars.

I mean these trucks are pretty much universally in absolutely terribly shape and not really maintained.

Exactly what I was thinking, most of NYC data is accessible via a pretty decent API, I wonder if it includes what's needed here.

Wow, this is fantastic. I like to work on my balcony, but there are constantly trucks parking below, with poorly maintained engines left to idle for hours a day, spewing fumes that…

> I’d hate even more for software to come under political purviews. Yes, but has not that ship sailed already? I go to great efforts to keep my "feed" purely technically focused, b…

Yes. I'd say the average American when asked which nation the US has had closer relations with (once you screen out the ones who don't even know Pakistan exists) would say "India" …

Times are definitely changing. The situation in Ukraine, especially coming right on the heels of two years of lockdown that has disrupted the "status quo" worldwide, I hope is goin…

> passed just before the Knesset disbanded for a holiday recess by a 45-15 majority vote Wow

North Korea started with the "better" part of Korea by most measures, having far more natural resources than the southern portion of the peninsula as well as more arable land. All …

IntelliJ Community Edition is free. I don't use the paid version so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

There seems to be a marked increase in unreported incidents, at least where I live. I don't trust any armchair statistical analysis of this, particularly when the author clearly ha…

I mean I am seeing this with my own eyes, and I am seeing numerous incidents go totally unreported that aren't going to show up in statistics anyway.

Right, this is what I was thinking. Like with a quick Google for "wet markets" prior to 2019 I see tons of articles warning about the dangers and calling for China to close them: 2…

I hear this a lot, but I don't understand how people think it's worse. How is a lab leak worse than the virus emerging from a wet market? At least if it's a lab leak it was while d…
