companies are stupid then, because it's obviously good for them. You're maybe thinking about how trademark lawyers pursue use of it but that's for tactical reasons not because it isn't great marketing

Invisible Women and the Culture series by Iain Banks (Use of Weapons currently). Both really good

This place is full of bootlickers what are you talking about? It's a corporate web site

you must not have a lot of immigrants in your circle if you have any doubt of this being true

almost every normal person

What is this based on? my view seems to be that people happily pay tons of money to criminal companies for pretty marginal utility

No, because "actual specialists" like to pretend power and politics don't exist. If you're a leader of a sovereign nation and let all your data be stored in US datacenters you're either stupid or corrupt

If your margin for error is this tight something is fundamentally broken in your business

It's not silly, it harnesses some of the mechanics behind ponzi schemes to encourage viral spread. Early entrants are incentivized to evangelize it to newer ones

yes they can what the hell are you talking about? i would wager "being hurt by words" is something close to a universal human experience

Yeah you should check out this book, would enhance the best of your knowledge. While you're right, even within that cohort there is a massive gender difference and it impacts how we view society in a big way

you would probably like the book Invisible Women. Touches a lot on this subject and how there is so much "missing data" when we talk about these things and it carries through to the modern day

I hope so!

That sucks to hear, i wish you were getting shamed more frequently in public

>What logical rule would you propose that allows Pluto to be a planet without also bringing in a bunch of others?

The rule would be: pluto is a planet, stay mad nerds

no you don't. just because some nerds say it doesn't make it true. just bring back pluto and nothing else

what's with the pearl clutching?

100%

>Your Snapchat DMs feel like a locked apartment — but the building management reportedly kept a spare key.

do you realize this is really annoying and don't care or actually think you're being helpful?

I'm open to the idea that some things are unnameable but would need an example :)

People move out to the suburbs after they're married with kids? How is that unhinged?

oh come on, you can't seriously be comparing those two. One of them can form complete sentences

Is the product sketchy or just their practices from your point of view?

I think a valid view (not saying it's right) of this is: "some dorks in a country I don't inhabit gave away valuable code. I'm going to use it and I don't particularly care about what they think about it"

How much do you care about Chinese law? does that make you sketchy?

is it still effectively 2/3rds? Don't know enough to compare a discrete GPU/CPU setup to something like this where it's more integrated

It's an interesting topic and attacking the author as a "nobody" is very rude. If the content was recommended to you by paul graham or some other dork you guys worship would it be better?

I hate these types of questions because they're not just selecting for people dedicated to the mission, they're also selecting for people who are convincing liars

> If there’s enough competing supply then they can’t raise prices. If there isn’t, they can and usually will.

Right, key word there is "competing". Large firms collude via all sorts of means to avoid competing. Many such cases

I agree with your take (as someone with 3k hours in factorio). I think there is different categories of automated though. In one case you're still solving problems just at a higher level, in the other case you're no longer solving any problems. Like, getting logistics drones in factorio does automate some aspects of the game but then you just increase your scope and scale and still have the same core problem of "grow the factory"

the money you got from your lucrative job you got easily after graduating from the worlds top computer science school of course

How is that simple? it seems like the massive cultural and political challenges are just being handwaved away
