Counterpoint: there's plenty of coaches out there that teach/reinforce bad form. > And if you are a beginner, any attempt to do these exercises will invariably contain so many mist…

Indeed. Worth taking a look at our top exports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exports_of_Australia I wonder why the leaders of our country that profits primarily from large…

is it really so hard to imagine that perhaps the climate issues that have been "constantly talked about for 20+ years" have been heavily moderated/filtered/co-opted by financial/po…

This take made me cringe. The only one putting emphasis on the fact that this scientist who has visited Antarctica 20 times in their life happens to be female, is you.

I'm happy to stick with "challenge". It means I can lament how "morally challenged" Apple is :)

I went looking for the website I was thinking of, but instead I found this article from The Conversation: https://theconversation.com/four-hiroshima-bombs-a-second-ho... Dated 2013…

> You think we are physically unable to build an asteroid defense? Mate the dino-nuking asteroid that hit Earth was 10km in diameter. Even if we launched every nuke we had at such …

Meh I dunno, there's that website that reports how many hiroshimas of energy we're releasing into our planet per second , the skeptics/denialists don't seem to care much for that m…

> covid showed that despite widespread disruption, technology civilization actually didn't collapse at all. What I hear: "hey look, I pulled a piece out of the Jenga tower and it d…

Okay so we've established that neither my imagination, nor the labors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are any good for determining how likely we are on course for …

> So you are an expert in these things that you don't trust other experts I don't see how the grandparent comment implied a lack of trust in other experts, nor did they imply thems…

Agreed, humanity is unlikely to survive an asteroid of the likes that wiped out the dinosaurs, considering it increased global atmospheric temperatures to several hundred degrees c…

Aren't you sick of this tired old argument? Humans have not existed on this planet for the 4 billion years. More like 4 million. Sure, an accurately recorded history of 174 is stil…

> He was building for at least Windows and Linux Are you sure about that? I remember in Doom 3 era Carmack was rocking a fancy NeXTStep computer and doing cross platform developmen…

Well, it is Carmack we're talking about here. He's well known as a prolific programmer prodigy ;) But also, some other things to note: * A lot of "agile" development in corporate e…

Interesting, thanks. Didn't realise there was ways to embed WebKit views that also got JIT (escaped the walled garden a while ago!) Still, my original point still stands. As you no…

Rather than just downvote you for stating incorrect things with such conviction, I'll refer you to Apple's own website :) https://support.apple.com/en-eg/guide/security/sec15bfe098…

Some cursory web searches reinforce an assumption I had: Amazon absolutely dominate the eBook sales market, with figures from 65-80% of all sales being indicated. So how can you ma…

I wasn't making any kind of comparison to petrol cars! I guess it seemed like I was and that explains the downvotes, perhaps? All I was trying to do is add some support to the clai…

As I understand it, electric cars are actually surprisingly polluting, which is a consequence of their battery weight and particulates from tires: https://dynomight.net/tires/

Yeah, I've wondered that too. I'm a fan of not yucking other people's yum, especially in the privacy of their own homes and not infringing on the liberty, safety or wellbeing of ot…

What kinds of regulation do you anticipate helping here? Let's assume that generating these images is as simple as downloading a model from the internet and running it on the same …

Child pornography is one of the worst forms of human depravity, because in order to satisfy one person's messed up desires, a child is subjected to unspeakable sexual violence. We'…
