"As an American, I believe that my personal convenience outweigh the needs and desires of literally every other person on the entire planet"

It'll probably never happen. But it'd be really nice if it did.
Copy/pasting at scale, yes
The person who rewrote the issue page view probably doesn't know anything about multi-cloud scaling for millions of users with Azure-crippling throughput. That's an incredibly specialized set of knowledge and experience that is utterly disjunct to frontend work.
But at the same time, given the state that GitHub is in, I personally wouldn't want to allow any devs to push anything to prod that doesn't immediately affect stability. I'd completely freeze frontend work until the infrastructure is more stable. But then again I write C for microcontrollers so what do I know?
I don't like that the idle CPU load is high (for really inane reasons) but it performs perfectly well.
This is almost as dumb as rebranding a shoe company as an AI company, or your tea brand as a blockchain brand.
The only clue they have is the incredibly generic "explain system logs". That's it, that's the only AI feature they've come up with so far. What an absolute load.
Mammalian fetuses all start out the same and sexual dimorphism happens several weeks into development. The same structure that eventually develops into a uterus can instead develop into a penis/prostate. Testicles and ovaries are the same tissue early in development, just like the glans and clitoris.
Biology doesn't generally suppress one entire set of organs in favor of another. They're built from the same precursor tissue and only diverge after sex hormones are activated. Biology and evolution modify existing structures, it does not typically erase one structure and replace it with another.
In addition, intersex humans exist. There are documented incidences of males born with uteri, external genitals can form halfway between male and female. Biology can get very messy sometimes. Sex is not a hard binary switch, it's a sliding scale just like most biological features. Only most individuals are at one end or the other, there's a lot of room between.
Trying to make money on selling the solution to the problem you caused (while also probably tracking literally everyone with the solution) is much worse than causing the problem and doing nothing about it.
I learned recently that the actual mechanism of the energy transfer is one of the most interesting parts of molecular biology.
ATP doesn't just store chemical energy. ATP synthase constructs the molecules by literally mashing the two halves together and mechanically twisting them. ATP can later slot into proteins, releasing that energy by mechanically moving parts of a molecular machine. It can also be split for simple heat and participate in other chemical reactions more directly.
But I find it absolutely fascinating that ATP operates as a mechanical battery. Storing actual mechanical motion in a chemical bond that can be reversed to recover the motion and transform it into work. Molecular machines are one of the most incredible things in the universe.
Have you ever tried talking to an autistic person?
You should try harder to treat autistic people like people, instead of mocking and dismissing things you can't be bothered to try understanding. Comorbidity is a very real thing. Autistic people do have high incidence of comorbid conditions. Your narrow view of the world does not represent universal truth. Hypochondria is common among autistic people, because they commonly have real issues. When everyone refuses to take you seriously, you have to find your own answers. You're the problem here, bud.
New job runs on GitHub. I frequently have to stop work and wait for GitHub to recover before I can checkout some dependency or push a commit. It's outrageous.
If you want to get good results, you still have to be an engineer about it. The model multiplies the effort you put in. If your effort and input is near zero, you get near zero quality out. If you do the real work and relegate the model to coloring inside the lines, you get excellent results.
Less spend means less real cost to the provider while your flat monthly subscription stays the same price. As well, reducing token use per customer means you can over-subscribe even harder, allowing for more flat monthly subscriptions.
Less tokens = more free capacity = more subscription income.
I'm pretty sure it used to warn when you got close to your 5hr limit, but no, it happily billed extra usage. Granted only about $10 today, but over the span of like 45 minutes. Not super pleased.
Anyone who has read any amount of history from this time should know that this is very simply not possible.
This statment is unfalsifiable in the same way that "I'm a six-legged alien from Venus typing this message from orbit" is unfalsifiable. It's just flat nonsense.
Plastics and rubbers tend to not survive well a lot of the time just because of the chemistry. There's really no way around plastic embrittlement and rubber decomposing. You can prolong it with the right storage conditions, but those molecules are gonna break down sooner or later.
If you put forward a hypothesis: these molecules were produced by life, then other scientists will search for arguments to disprove your hypothesis. If after some time none of those arguments hold up to scrutiny, we must assume the hypothesis is correct.
If NASA finds something indisputable like an RNA fragment, basically every scientific mind on the planet will try to find explanations that don't involve life. If all abiotic arguments are disproven, then by elimination we've proven that the molecule was produced biologically. If even one argument can conclusively prove an abiotic process that can produce exactly what we observe, then we must assume the no-life case. This is where we are now.
Once the scientific community reaches consensus, the call is made implicitly when the hypothesis is accepted as fact into the scientific canon. The announcement will likely go through various global leaders and/or NASA, as it's an announcement that impacts our entire species, not just one country.
Note that proof by elimination is only one method of proving a hypothesis. Most of the others don't apply here.
Police in the US exist mainly to suck up tax money and harass and murder civilians and escalate peaceful protests into riots to justify suppression and murder. They're merely an instrument of an increasingly authoritarian government.
Yeah, if you gave police here a complaint with all the evidence in the world, there is absolutely no obligation for them to investigate or take any action. And there's really no recourse.
Be glad you live in a functional society.
And your example does not illustrate dynamic pricing at all. There's nothing dynamic about your example, this is all fixed prices quoted by merchants with different costs and profit margins. This is how trade has worked for approximately all of human history.
Dynamic pricing means that the price changes dynamically, in real time. Prices change based on time of day, weather, how many people are in line, what the merchant's algorithm thinks you personally are willing to pay. This is all new, enabled exclusively by modern computing and surveillance technology.
I don't think you actually understand what you're arguing against here.
Predation, pure and simple.
Google doesn't care, no one is holding them responsible for predatory behavior. It's profitable to steal from your customers and there's no downside to doing so.
