It can be both. It depends a lot on what kind product is being supported. Tech support usually doesn’t get abuse hurled at you by the callers but financial/medical it gets a lot di…

I think ascribing humanity to to something that isn’t human is far more dehumanizing to actual real life humans than the alternative. You are taking away actual people’s humanity i…

AI isn’t “from a different culture”. It doesn’t have culture. Any culture it does have is what it has sucked up from its training data and set in its weights. There is no need to b…

I literally asked you what worse off means so that I can specifically respond to the claim you made, but okay. Have a nice day.

I agree by the way that a one line comment of “show your work” is not useful or constructive, much like your original one line comment. (I don’t mean that as a slam against you eit…

Well you can’t prove a negative so I’m not sure how useful a theoretical one line comment about a CEO saying his insurances means we need M4A would be received. Regardless if you’r…

Sorry but I reject this thinking. You’re essentially saying that Medicare for all is bad because it’ll seem to cost more because the way the money works isn’t obscured so people wi…

You’re right. The No Surprises Act did make this a lot better. However it still doesn’t cover ground transport (and specific state laws do in some cases.) Additionally for post-sta…

While I might not have been happier income-wise when I was on Medicaid vs now, I was much happier with my medicaid insurance than I have ever been with any private insurance. I cou…

Based on what? Why even leave this comment if you’re just going to say “would likely be worse off” without giving literally any evidence or even suggestion of why. Insurance is a p…

Who exactly is the target audience? Browser not exactly a hot bed of competition. Am I in the market for an AI browser? No. But is anyone? Those features are already being pushed i…

Sure it’s hard to turn a ship around in 2 years but the situation got worse, not better. Also bailing out a foreign government for failed libertarian policies is incredibly ironic …

Good grief. Developers who use Unity/Unreal/Game Maker/ whatever don’t announce their game as being a revolutionary new tech. The problem isn’t that they made yet another chromium …

I work for a small ISP servicing both fiber customers and a diminishing (Thanks, starlink) number of fixed wireless customers. We use all Mikrotik hardware for routing. RouterOS is…

How long do you think Tesla is going to be worth their funny money market cap?

Not only are they not really hurt that much by the loss of the tax credit, they’ve already pulled back from their EV ambitions in many ways. That’ll be even easier for them now if …

To be fair 99 Bananas still tastes like ass with a hint of incredible artificial banana. Also the cultural aspect is just different. It is generally harder for kids to get alcohol …

These aren't unique to Tesla, though a lot of manufacturers want you to pay to have a lot of that stuff in their app, which is fucked. I also want less touch controls and less enti…

It is ironic that a lot of the gun control laws conservatives rail about in California are a direct result of Reagan’s time as governor with the intent largely to suppress and allo…

If only. So much of the constant churn in big corporations is killing units that are profitable but just aren’t profitable enough .

So the person who says their Dyson works great is a liar but also their opinion is invalid because it is expensive. Your Land Rover is good because it’s expensive but you like it. …

Who defines what counts as a riot? The people who have the state-sanctioned monopoly on violence are the ones who get to decide when a protest becomes a riot or unlawful assembly. …

I couldn’t possibly disagree more. I’ve always worked with end users and I can say with confidence that the majority of people wouldn’t change it or more accurately wouldn’t feel l…

Migraines are the absolute worst. On average I would get 6-8 a year. My triggers are primarily not eating frequently enough, bright lights and constant loud sounds. Knowing that, I…

I 100% agree the issue is more on the capital side. There probably shouldn’t be people who have more money than God who can afford to thrown hundreds of million dollar darts at a w…
