Nestle has been murdering infants for a long time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal

That seems a bit counter-evidenced by the fact that he reached an audience much larger than his chosen fields. He had an unique ability to explain complex matters in a very concise…

Yes. What's the use of having standards for document handling and guaranteeing their correctness if we then feed them through a black box and accept its interpretation at face valu…

Considering we have no real way to audit ChatGPT's correctness or security, I find this worrisome at best.

Not necessarily. It's common practice to built structure to control and redirect rivers around developments. That doesn't stop it from being a river.

Being "naturally formed" isn't a requirement to be a river. Being gravity fed and naturally flowing is. A canal doesn't have significant flow.

It certainly tends to be perceived that way by the person corrected. It's also debatable whether nitpicking on someone's grammar is "correcting their language", linguists tend to t…

I think OP's meaning was clear as it is. No need to put someone down over a small grammar mistake.

So, "gangsters and other career criminals" stick to marijuana possession? That doesn't sound like a bad deal...

OP isn't citing murder rates, they're citing "violent crime (total)" as mentioned in the linked article.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a non-nefarious use case for this.

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Fud. To quote section 13 of the AGPL license: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed und…

I think one of the problems with the terms "Agile" and "DevOps" is that they are pretty general and generic terms that they are trying to cast very specific meaning too... “So you’…

So, Facebook doesn't want to share the data it wants us to share with them? Figures...

So the interest stems from a curiosity about your own gut-microbes? That seems fair enough, I may have been overthinking this...

I'm curious why that comparison is more interesting to you? I can see great value in having both data points when trying to formulate a hypothesis about what causes the decline in …

Or you can step away from your desk, go for a stroll, get some fresh air! Not only good for your body, but you'll likely get back to the problem you're working on with a fresh pers…

I just copy the url to a plain text file, wget and grep if I need to find something and can't remember what's what.

I find it very useful to hear why people choose not to use my products, I find there is some selection bias in the opinions of people who are already customers.

We have been subsidizing the fossil fuel industry for decenia, so how would that be "free market competition"?

Ostensibly yes, but: https://xkcd.com/224/
