I watched the whole commencement, and it seems that Eric Schmidt himself was booed louder than anything "AI" that came before him in the program. The students had strong reactions …

This really is the crux of it. If democracy rules, then power lies with the demos and by extension controlling their windows to the world.

Over the past decade, there's been a lot of regulation forcing Apple to open up their "Apple only" integrated platforms. It used to be the case that if Apple wanted to build a wall…

This is an understandable perception, but it reveals your lack of context. By and large, children in the US are educated in the public school system. Only 6% of children in the US …

Critical thinking requires that the sources themselves are evaluated for bias. Anecdotally, I've come across several articles for which the bulk of citations all come from one sour…

Yes, let's bring these back. In fact, why don't we just build Khrushchevkas and skip the whole proletarian revolution step? We can even start wearing the funny little hats with fla…

Galileo and the church were both correct.

It's rare for an app dev (of such a popular tool) to go out of their way to respond to a random forum user. Even rarer is to address every point on their list with patience and con…

I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it.

Needs to be played on a CRT in general. For retro games, you can't beat the low latency and fantastic glow of an electron gun. No shader emulation comes close.

> I feel that traffic is much worse since before COVID, drivers more aggressive, etc. From what I've seen, it seems like people are less afraid of the consequences of bad driving b…

I'm a man and I don't feel particularly lost. For all that this article had to say, (and it said a lot without saying much), I see us needing two things: Good brothers and good wom…

Having a high BMI and a low body fat percentage means that you are likely composed of a lot of muscle weight. I would think that this would correlate highly with physical strength,…

I agreed with the parent's sentiments initially. But then I saw your comment before the edit, where you had called this "uneducated loser mentality." I'm sad that you edited it, be…

Again, excellent trolling. I commend you.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
