I get that it’s fashionable to hate big companies but you’re working overtime here. It’s reasonable to assume that a bug was fixed when reported. And if you think your monitoring i…

> Is OSS important because you want to inspect the code, fork it, self-host it, avoid vendor lock-in, or simply because you trust open-source developer tools more? Or, for desktop …

I don’t see the sliding scale - if the website didn’t want a bot they could have blocked you. They clearly don’t mind so what’s the issue? You still used a bot.

This is a whole lot of things you want and feel entitled to. Nobody has to cater to you - we can block whatever we want to block. And if our poorly designed sites bother you, that’…

What exactly are you arguing and why? 70,000 is a lot of stolen phones. The number of thieves is irrelevant.

It’s not subtle when you point it out - you’re looking for a different phrase entirely.

Dumb is too simplistic, but they sure don’t pass for being human. That would be the intent of a Turing test… not IQ.

I think the consumer profiling side is more compelling (and likely) than blackmail.

Cooking an excellent steak consistently requires paying attention to many small details and executing each perfectly. Individually with the exception of choosing a steak, they’re a…

This is excellent work! You’ve got a 49 year old and a 10 year old equally into it. That’s impressive - nice work.

I hope you’re right because I like the film industry a lot. But I worry this will be a repeat of the model versus cgi thing where many of the purists were converted by the cost to …

Environment Canada’s testing found it ‘acutely lethal’. I’d consider composting an acutely lethal substance that is extremely high in salt to be the dumb idea. Canada actually has …

The scientists who have been testing it since 2016 have looked at the evidence and they disagree with you. CBC had to do an access to information request for the results - it took …

This sludge was actually tested and analyzed- it’s not compatible with marine life and would in fact cause an ecological disaster. It’s why they’re mixing it with peat moss and als…

In 2016, they dumped forty bats into the ocean but Environment Canada did some testing on the sludge and found that it would kill fish within five minutes. The environmental cost w…

They would have been picked out of thin air. That’s the joy of innovation - you have to randomly throw prices against the wall and see what sticks. The point where it sticks might …

That’s a slightly naive view on pricing. That equilibrium point doesn’t just magically appear - it’s found through price testing.

What would be the alternative? You’ve got the government funds absolutely everybody on one end of the scale. Where do we find a reasonable alternative?

It’s kind of interesting - I imported security cameras for a business roughly twenty hours ago. The security problems at the time were unbelievable to a point that any kind of wire…

You’re all getting some concepts mixed up here. That five year amortization rate is the IRS’ usual amortization rate for computers. GPUs are classed as computers for asset deprecia…

Preschools decorate lists with little pictures on the sides. In most preschools that I’m aware of the person who makes that list makes minimum wage and has 4-8 children to keep ali…

Bud, you went on a rant about art in a preschool. You wrote paragraphs about a list that someone who quite likely makes minimum wage put together while keeping 4-8 children alive. …

I don’t understand this modern trend where people will put pictures of someone’s menu up, roast them, fall all over themselves talking about how over the food and still hit publish…
