It sounds like you are describing a problem with the San Francisco dating scene, which does relate to a small subset of the SWE experience, but hardly covers anything close to the …

I think people, broadly, have driven life to be fairer, and that we should continue to do so

Nah, I remember back then, it was definitely intended to be derogatory to the cars, to asians, and to people who like the cars.

[what does the ftc say about it?]( https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui... ) Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm …

what you are describing sounds like an oligopoly not a monopoly. A company cannot realize monopolistic benefits without > 50% control of a market. That's not to say there aren't be…

I think the desire for longer term planning is to smooth out the variance. Yes, frequent base touching, to ensure alignment on the broad contours is right, but I find yeeting a sig…

locally correct and globally incoherent is how they seem to me. I, and a number of folks I have talked to, find some of them incomprehensible. Like each sentence makes sense, but t…

I doubt it'd save you from purchasing a dishwasher - those things are very efficient and not very expensive. Perhaps it'd save you from loading and unloading a dishwasher

What about for going out of their way to find and pay despicable people for their words?

If it is true that society does not benefit from creating derived works, then why is open source so useful?

the little rubber gaskets in sink drains for garbage disposals are also a cheap upgrade the brings a place up a notch

reduces the ownership hunt problem, as well!

20 years to make some money, and then we set the work free for the public benefit. If it's good enough for patents, I don't see why it isn't good enough for copyrights.

The point is not the rounding, it is that it is not counting a total number of castles, but rather some subset of 'significant' castles

When I used visual source safe it was primarily more like a lock manager. I don't recollect what it did in terms of file versioning, but I definitely remember having to bug someone…

"political actions" even! not to mention his current 'Tommy Robinson' political opinion spree is sufficient to have very serious objections to his political opinions. I'd no more a…

yeah, my car doesn't like it when I look more than 2 cars ahead, or if I am looking uphill (because I am driving uphill)

well said, I think that is a significant portion of what I see as the problem. That and moderation/curation scaling very poorly

ejecting jerks is something forums did better than social media, even if the definition of jerk varied widely and was forum-specific. I can't imagine a forum doing something like p…
