Because the system is designed to allow these people in a gray zone, so they do not have access to the same rights as citizens and therefore can be exploited. The problem is not il…

Not it is not

Best way is to block at the router.

I live in the czech republic and this is the way the older generation is here. Many older couples will have the same meal on the same day of the week every week. So not the same me…

This is why I think ai is basically the death of startups as we know them. Only big players can even take a swing. No more underdog garage startups, unless you're just downstream g…

There are a good number of stable configurations in the 3 body problem, it's just that they are incredibly rare in nature.

Sitting in a chair is also pretty terrible for your health. :)

Imo college sports is a huge driver of this, as schools are more often seen as sports franchises these days than actual educational institutions.

In states like Kentucky a d Oklahoma? Think again. These places are overwhelmingly trumpy. The nation as a whole barely voted him in, but in many red states his numbers are very hi…

The culture that I live in here in the Czech Republic would paint your statement as pretty false. The police here are extremely laid-back and it's pretty easy to get away with pett…

Europe calls bullshit on this line of reasoning. You've drank too much koolaide friend.

This Neurosis is very common through out the American south.

Exactly this. The bill has now come due for our far from enviable education system. We have incurred an unbelievable amount of cultural debt and now the bill is coming due.

Obama kicked the failing can of neoliberalism down the road. He could have very easily bailed out the American people directly but chose not to do that and as such I feel like he a…

What a dumbfuck article. It's essentially a gossip-rag level story based on a few random and meaningless tweets from a couple of billionaire douchebags.

Spellcheck is an absolutely perfect example of what happens with technology long-term. Once the hype cycle is over for a certain tech, it gets left to languish, slowly degrading un…

Yep. Replacing google assistant with Gemini before feature parity was even close is such a fuck-you to users.

I think it works until it doesn't. The nature of technical debt of this kind means you can sort of coast on things until the complexity of the system reaches such a level that it's…
