Can you explain how it changed after being a father?
You just echo the institutions you defend so fervently by being sanctimonious. I hope you're a politician or healthcare exec, someone who at least has an interest in defending this mess. Otherwise it's just sad. Again,…
Again, I do not care about covid and have no interest in arguing with you about covid. This is a discussion about eroded trust in institutions. And denying that the government's handling of covid had a causal…
The number isn't the point, the messaging of "this number is science" is. If it were delivered clearly as "we done have all the information, but our best judgement based on a, b, c says the number is X" that would be…
Just to preface. Covid is the new Nazis, all arguments end up devolving into its discussion. Im tired of talking about covid but it's hard to get past how our country handled it, both the people and the government. To…
The problem is that when the government itself spreads verifiably false information, there are no reprocussions like there are for the individual who does it. Just like when an individual steals money they tend to face…
A system that naturally occurs as a result of the context like you describe sure sounds like a superstructure. Which in our case is a government that allows anyone with the money to steer the ship while actual people…
>If our institutions can communicate their work better, supernatural beliefs will dry up a bit. We’ve seen this historically. I feel like this article misses the reason why people distrust institutions. Being "kicked…
I think a lot of this can be ascribed to "startups don't always do the right thing" and you have to learn a lot over time. That's said, I've been a customer for a while and the t-shirt debacle is one of the dumbest…
I think their problem with open source is more that they can't have complete control and make every user's decision for them, security is just a nice tag along to that.
One of those values is "ISS total mass." Is that calculated using launch/deorbit weights or is there some kind of sensor on board that can measure that? I figure if you did a specific type of burn you could calculate…
Did LLMs not take time and effort to create? There's this ongoing sentiment in the AI detractors that for something to be meaningful it requires a human to have spent time making it. Meanwhile we live in a world where…
I'm excited for the day when Google finally bites the bullet and makes their biggest UI "upgrade" to date, removing the search bar and keeping pesky user input from interfering with targeted ad revenue.
Now there is the biggest incentive in human history to invest in long distance space travel and communication tech. Before the americas were discovered by Europeans, sailing and travel tech was nothing compared to what…
If nix/home-manager documentation wasnt awful this site wouldn't be needed. And the level of detail should be way better than a one line sentence with no examples.
I think that's part of the problem. It seems like the only way to have a good nix experience is to go all in with NixOS. The problem is that is a huge sell for someone who already has an OS they like and the fact that…
This is a good example of how nix is both a) far to complicated a tool chain and b) completely underdocumented for how complicated it is. I swear until I ripped nix off my systems, every time I had to do anything, even…
Something I find interesting is that IMO, flight simulators handle ATC better than real life. In MSFS Obviously there isn't a human there but all messages are displayed as unambiguous text and you are able to choose…
It's an line to draw in terms of spending given how absolutely nothing this is in terms of spending. This website probably costs about half that of a single one of the millions of shells made for the US military in a…
So if you were choosing a town to live in and one has a 2% tax rate and the other a 30% tax rate, you'd surely choose the 30% tax rate because you want to support your regional community? More likely when you get past…
Is anyone asking for this? All the Google search users I know have been asking for search that actually gives good results and isn't made up of 70% recopied stackoverflow articles into sketchy blogs and AI written…
Intillij Git branches is the only git ui I've used and I love it for one feature: it stores your workspace layout based on the branch you're in. So now when I go to an old branch every tab I was working on is there in…
One of the first things we have early humans doing on record is burning down forests: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-may-have-u...
I always figured that the DC area was wealthy due to mostly political corruption and creating government contracts that enlist a 30 person team over 5 years to design a toilet seat for a plane that will be used twice. I…
This app was infuriating. Tried it for a few weeks living in a less than ideal neighborhood. Day one I get a notification of a fire or something 5 miles away. Hardly useful, but I get it. Day two there's a robbery!…
