I think you're assuming more fidelity than the project is claiming

Who is Lenna?

That’s not a reason to visit this site.

One of the current top 100 posts relates to western religion. It’s easy to avoid if uninterested. I enjoy that every now and then we have an ancient history, archeology, theology, literature, futurism or etc. post make the front page.

How is this relevant? At best it’s tangentially related and low effort

Do you know of any research or calculations of what that number ought to be?

For what it’s worth I’m a neutral and I was confused by the way you worded / structured the original reply

I cannot fathom making this comparison.

how does that relate to the comment you're replying to?

I think you’re missing the point of my question. I’m not saying that story isn’t distressing and a good reason to use alternatives, but I’m asking about whether you can convince individuals and individual businesses that these alternatives are more cost effective or capable than the software they’re replacing.

Please don’t assume I’m not up to date on the news. But is there a tangible risk vector to European consumers of open source, commercial American software. I’m genuinely asking about incentives for the individual or individual business. That’s a more difficult question to answer than asking why shouldn’t Europe as a whole pursue this.

What are some non-subjective reasons to use Euro alternatives? It reminds me of startup founders having to choose between the big expensive service or their buddy’s startup that intends to serve the same use case.

Do you have a plan or idea of how to get the minimum critical mass of genuine users once the platform is built out?

I think the first graphic is a bit misleading because it omits the shortcuts in the more legible left hand side. I love menus that reveal shortcuts. I agree with the main thrust of the article though.

Was the OSRS economy affected by the strikes? I'm assuming they didn't disrupt internet access for most Venezuelan citizens but I have not looked into it yet.

Just ban bathroom breaks and cap exams two 90-120 minutes tops. If longer examination is needed split it into multiple sessions. I genuinely believe that being able to plan around bathroom breaks or manage discomfort otherwise is a reasonable expectation.

Where is the incentive for test makers in academia to accommodate this outcome? It sounds nice but I don’t think jaded professors or overworked, inexperienced, and stressed TAs have a reason to do this. It sounds nice but it doesn’t actually seem connected.

Apologies I must have misinterpreted what you were getting at.

> I think intentionally causing emotional distress to children for the purposes of making a bad evaluation of their studies is cruel.

Is this ever the intended purpose?

Re: test anxiety

I see this line of argument more and more over the last decade and it makes me feel heartless for my opinion.

But if you know the material but cannot apply it in an examination then you either don't actually know the material or don't have the emotional (for lack of better term) control to apply it in critical situations. Both are valid reasons to be marked down.

It is absolutely over by any sane definition of “pandemic”. Covid persists, but the pandemic is over.

The textbook would have been well written though, no?

That is the most pathetic Christmas tree I’ve ever seen. Cool article though

What is your point?

IndyCar is one of the coolest competitions on earth that nobody cares about. Not just the 500, which is amazing, but the full calendar schedule.

You already made the point but yea that’s overly jaded to a significant degree

The issue is the 2D footprint compared to older models like the iPhone SE and iPhone 13 Mini. The iPhone Air is still significantly larger.

There’s a real convenience to an airport not being 50 minutes away

The fact that San Diego operates essentially downtown with a single runway is a marvel, even if it does cause issues. I hope they get the tram extension one day.

This is one of those things that is so obvious as to not require a source. Just sharing my perspective on this conversation, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable question to ask if you’re unfamiliar with the space

That’s just figurative speech about redistricting. I think you’re mistaking Americans tendency to use militaristic metaphors in our discourse.

This is still hyperbole by an order of magnitude
