I think a big part of this topic discussion is that there's a LOT of value in those- that many disagreements are simply down to having a different understanding about context and f…

It says in the bill- > (d) "Social media algorithm" means the software used by social media platforms to (1) prioritize content, and (2) direct the prioritized content to the accou…

Merits of the bill aside, I think the headline is spun in a way to make the bill seem totally witless, when it's not. There could be more specific wording, of course, and debating …

It's kind of hard to assess what impact you'd see, but for me, changing teams has ended up giving me a chance to work with new tech, a broader understanding of our system overall, …

I can't help but notice that your link to New Secret Santa is under the "old" subdomain.

If I recall correctly, Netflix paying to not have their data rates throttled was a real occurrence.

I was literally just looking at this for the same reason. I'm sure it's a bit silly and sentimental, but the notion of there still being a living connection to them in the world ma…

It seems like you read more cynicism and hostility in the previous comment than was actually there.

Sadly, I can still imagine someone crashing into a static car on the highway. I can imagine normal-speed continuation, mid-lane stopping, and attempting to navigate to the side of …

Getting to the side of the road seems like it could be pretty risky for current autopilots, though perhaps things are further ahead than I know.

It's kind of funny- I assume other people will assume I'm not productive at home, so I end up hyper-focusing on getting things done when I'm working from home just to prove I'm not…

Yeah, I definitely get what you mean. I try to see if there's merit in what people say, even on occasions where they forgot their manners at home (as I've done plenty), but in this…

I'm sorry to say it, but that framing actually makes me see more merit in the comment you're responding to, when I didn't much before. I'm of the opinion that people do deliberatel…

Dijkstra gave pretty concise justification for 0-indexing, so I wouldn't reduce it down to "authority" for why people use it. While I'm personally comfortable hopping back and fort…

Costs aside, wouldn't replacing carbon emissions with methane be drastically worse? Doing a casual search says that methane is 2000-3000% more potent as a GHG.

He can send messages at his discretion. With Twitter, however, tweets are (in this case) considered public announcements, with blocked people being exceptions on a personal level, …

No red square for me. Using a recent Firefox on OSX.

Looking again at what you'd put earlier, your acknowledgement very much seems to have the not-total-impossibility of them being correct as a throwaway caveat, not as a real conside…

I get the feeling that you misunderstood what they were trying to communicate and prioritized literal word usage over context. They should not have said "quite authoritatively". Us…

I'm not sure I'd say "one or more times" really sums up going dozens of times, as umanwizard said they have. While I'll give you that we don't know if they have a PhD (which, sure,…
