Great. We just finally got teams where it isn't complete dogshit and now this! It's awesome that we funnel tons of money to tech companies instead of raising federal government sci…

They do it to regular people every day, I was banned countless times from websites when I was a stupid kid, and more than a few times as an adult. No one cares until it happens to …

Yes, it definitely can. It'd just be laughed out of the building and no one but assholes would present there. AKA freedom works perfectly

Academic societies can have whatever ideologies they wish. Go present at a conference that doesn't have an ideology you don't have. That's true freedom. This is the same thing as T…

what a world where someone thinks getting banned from facebook is oppression

At some point, the black market reaches a critical mass where the thing you're taxing might as well be banned. >>> This doesn't make sense, because you're still getting taxes on th…

I dont think that will be an issue in your lifetime, unless you are in an area prone to storm surge. In which case your elevation is ALREADY a problem.

This is the biggest part of life that people just don't get and has always bothered me. I can't stand people that are always-positive and nice all the time. I know they are lying a…

Youre just bucking the responsibility thats put on you. It sucks the state makes it that way, but youre only hurting other people. If you disagree with tipping then dont go to a re…

It's really unfortunate that this simple principle can't work in real life, just because people's idea of "what is worse" are so different. One has only to look at the very differe…

I like to think he left 69 cents

While I wouldnt have tipped this person, you still tip during regular 'bad service' (like slowness or burnt food or whatever), because even though things didnt meet your expectatio…

It's pretty easy to point to a lack of government investment in renewables and incentives to get rid of fossil fuels. The US has had a leader for more than half those years that wa…

Yeah the rest of the world is thrilled that you want to build nuclear power plants on the most famous fault line in the world.

just get a dell workstation. the precision ones are good. just buy a new one every 2 years when the keyboard/power starts failing.

Luckily, Google has options to turn that stuff off. They could be lying about it, but it's better than generic TV brand which gives you no options, is a security nightmare, and is …

Regarding below comments, and Apple's desire to enter the ad business and still keeping data/not respecting privacy, that's definitely a bad thing, but I still am really happy Appl…

Do you think youre going to get scammed and send a fraudulent Western Union transfer? What do you think the venn diagram overlap between "uses a specific email for each service" an…

This conversation seems sort of unnecessary to me as a researcher who uses AI. Symbols and DL are not exclusive, just not yet thoroughly studied, I guess this is more of an argumen…

Sure, but hopefully it'll make the barrier of entry easier. I've been noticing that the market does seem to work well when the barrier to entry is low. It seems feasible that simpl…

maybe stop hanging out with narcissistic rich people, no one i talk to would ever make comments like that

This isn't a 1700s philosophy discussion. People aren't upset about this because of 'the element of deception'. It seems to me that someone playing a joke on a guy is very differen…

how are they the same

why dont you just try to do something good instead of grifting
