Oh, then Elon beat you to it.

If the Murakami was undertranslated then how will having more translations that crowd out the potential revenue of future translators help produce better quality translations?

If this ruling results in Meta fully withdrawing from New Mexico because it's unlikely they'll actually net on a per customer basis than nothing of value will be lost.

I am nuanced enough to appreciate that these qualities are present in the products being produced and still not buy from this producer because of their industry ties. Hopefully som…

> Sure, spending more on transit is a good idea, but it's not the tech companies' fault that it's perennially underfunded I think your overall point is relatively sound but that ex…

Tesla, in particular, has given those skeptics so much ammunition to be mad at. The delay isn't purely due to luddites but also somewhat driven by prior obvious bad actions by self…

Most chat support people were contractors hired from third party companies that were given dossiers about their products that were often quite out of date because poor management h…

I think the bigger point is that there's an overwhelming amount of money going to push the opposite narrative. A quick search revealed that Tyson alone spends well over a million a…

Yes - the obvious state of dysfunction in food regulation and lack of enforcement in that area has led to an abundance of scam supplement hawkers[1] but I don't think the right con…

You could but you'd be quite disingenuous if you did considering that coffee delivers caffeine without a bunch of added sugar.

Read this: Use a computer - you actually control the content that way.

But then number would go down... number can't go down!

The comment above the comment above mine said: > Abortion pills are not candies. That statement is unnecessary unless you believe that some people treat them as candies (not litera…

Thai cuisine is remarkably interesting due to Global Thai and both the funding for restaurants as well as the standardization of curry recipes that was led by the government to hel…

Some people want to fully ban AI and put the genie back in the bottle[1] but I'd much rather it simply be demystified and genuinely costed. I think most people would prefer to find…

It's possible to be frank about the misuse of AI in a lot of corporate settings today and also view it as a tool (or a step in tool development) that has the potential to be quite …

Abortion should be possible at 8 months - it absolutely must be possible in the cases of complications to save the life of the mother. For other cases I believe it shouldn't be eas…

It turns out there are a few stories that are important to be immediately aware of (declarations of war, local events like service outages or celebration - and only if they're plan…

It's an unreasonable argument because the people who treat medication like candy are far less common than the people who are restricted from seeking medical assistance due to repre…

It's torture because abortion is never a trivial decision to make - by the time a person has decided to get an abortion and not become a parent we should respect their wishes. If a…

There's a different level of personal risk with these two things. In theory maybe the government should test everything to ensure safety but it's probably wise for us to keep gover…

Appeals to authority aren't necessarily bad. I would hold an opinion on the internals of postgres from someone who worked heavily on postgres internals for forty years quite highly…

Oh, I definitely agree that Google squandered their golden goose. Had they treated search as an independent business and not a piggy bank they'd be in a much better position. An in…
