Obviously they’re savings, but in the same way that cutting your arm off will make you weigh less. That’s not a useful topic to discuss.

You’re aware we’re probably talking about ten year old kids here, right? Do you want them marching through a city?

Sure it will. It’s always been the case. Do you think reasonable advertisers have always been placing their brand next to content they don’t like? I think it’s more than acceptable that an advertiser demands their content not be next to neo-Nazi content. It’s the free market.

This is so insanely dystopian. You shouldn’t have to figure out where care is cheapest, especially in an emergency.

This seems like a pretty good thing. The model’s ability to detect _which_ solver to use is the killer feature.

> Cricket's not supposed to be a super-exciting riot of entertainment

Perhaps that’s not what the creators of the game imagined. But it’s how society has progressed. Cricket should be what the masses want it to be.

If it’s truly not based on ChatGPT/GPT-3, I feel like it shouldn’t need to be explained that it’s not?

> Also average car is unused 95/% of the time, so by this principle everyone should take a bus

That’s exactly right.

Yes. There is never a situation in which unionization is “unreasonable”. To say otherwise is to allow businesses to have near unchecked leverage over their workers.

And here I was expecting thoughtful discussion on this website.

That’s because movements that began on the left are regularly appropriated by neoliberals seeking to crush any radical idea. It’s not a coincidence.

With all due respect I don’t believe you’re in tune with what college students are feeling.

This used to be the case with TeamSpeak/Mumble too back in the day. Some of my favorite memories as a teenager was setting up Teamspeak servers on a Linode box and setting up everything. I’m glad Discord is making that easier for kids today.

Thought the same thing. It’s such a godsend, and the first thing I install on every new machine or virtualenv.

> The vaccinated are also likely to be taking other mitigation strategies seriously.

It may not be the case in Texas, but I’d imagine the vaccinated are at equal or even greater risk than the unvaccinated because they are able to do more (attending events, school, etc).

The consumer is, in nearly every instance.

I mean, yeah. Imagine being able to do more rich queries against GitHub.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

That money will be largely going to executives and shareholders, people who had very little hand in the science.

Nobody asked you to use it. It’s just someone sharing something cool they did. Lighten up a little.

> While I'm not sold on having a government run healthcare system (the pandemic only reinforces this)

A reminder that government services suck on purpose. There is no reason for government healthcare to be ineffective other than the malicious intent of those who run our government (D or R).

No, most “communist” countries (and I use the term loosely because really they were just state capitalist) owned many different companies, rather than being part of one mega government corporation.

It’s out of situations like this that unionization happens. Slim chance that they just happened to hire a union-busting law firm by accident.

Congratulations on releasing the book! Grateful for your work both as a student of computer science and as a Flutter/Dart developer. I’m planning on buying a copy after work. Are there any resources you recommend as a follow up to this book, and do you have any new content planned?

What country, if you don’t mind me asking?

I don’t see how these two things are in any way related. If your car is unsafe, you could kill someone. If you sideload an app on your phone, that only affects you. There’s a line we must all draw between personal freedom and the right of others to also be free when you decide to live in a society with other people.

It’s incredibly irresponsible to compare homophobia to a worker not cooperating with a strike.

The NYPD costs $10 billion per year and yet crime is still rampant in NYC. Are we supposed to pretend that spending more money on them is going to fix the problem? If they can’t do the job with billions of dollars in hand, the next $20 billion won’t make it work.

It’s about time we stop wasting taxpayer dollars on a bandaid for crime and start preventing it by alleviating the problems that cause crime- poverty, healthcare, etc.

Because “extreme left” views don’t involve genocide, xenophobia, sexism, etc.
