> Every PS5 in existence is destined to become e-waste

Just like every Android device or computer in your household? Are you trying to make a point for cloud computing?

I feel this so much. What was all that fuss about needing 3 levels of approval for any software license? Or having to provide a compare chart against open-source alternatives?

The money would be so much better spent that way as well, supporting individual programmers.

I think the "others" should open their eyes to the world around them, then.

Happy to say that my browser didn't tell anything that I didn't expect it to. It even identified my IP from a location 1000km away from me.

How else do you guarantee that things will keep going the best way possible in the future? The magical hand of the market?

> someone can be very confident and wrong at the same time

And sometimes that someone can be you, and AI is notoriously bad at telling you that you're wrong (because it has to please people)

Probably people complaining about AI today were fine with Stack Overflow before and didn't have anything to complain about back then.

I also had a better experience with Stack Overflow over AI. It's been unable to tell me that I couldn't assign a new value to my std::optional in my specific case, and kept hallucinating copy constructor rules. A Stack Overflow question matching my problem cleared that up for me.

Sometimes you need someone to tell you no.

> Do you have some information or argument that will help me see things differently?

I already told you 2 things, coastal areas and agriculture.

This is Bangladesh elevation map. Bangladesh is amonng the most dense countries in the world, and also among the poorest.

People are gonna lose their homes and starve to death, this will create massive refugee crises. They won't care if you have micro plastics in your testicles

> There's certainly a lot to be said for humans needing to take better care of the planet. Co2 just gets a little too much attention for my taste.

GHG are a matter of life or death for hundreds of millions living in poverty in coastal areas or living from their own agriculture.

Of course you live in a 1st world country and it likely won't kill you, just cost you tons of money

It's not about "take better care of the planet", whatever you think that means

Yep. It's not just oil rigs in the desert. Chevron in Ecuador destroyed the Amazonian rainforest. Oil pipelines and open pit mines destroying Canadian primordial forests. Probably tons of untold stories.

Considering at least half of all squares are empty, further compression is in order for the empty space.

Also if you're encoding the king as a position instead of a byte sequence you would have to encode their space as empty, that's an extra 2 bits

Disregard the obvious environmental risks of spraying silver iodide in the air, cloud seeding will artificially redirect rainfall in specific areas, which may deprive downstream regions of water, harming biodiversity. Note that cloud seeding is currently used for drought management, not global warming mitigation.

There's no denying that gender dysphoria exists and has always existed. OP made the claim that it might be statistically over-represented.

Looking at the Hijra example, it looks like the Hijra demographics are around 0.5-1% of the population.

In the latest polls [0], the proportion of Gen Z that identify as transgender is over 2%.

Is there repression/stigma in South Asia keeping some people in the closet? Is the culture difference having an effect on gender dysphoria? Is there a gender dysphoria "contagious" effect? I don't know, but those are interesting questions.

> being on the far right on the road is where I'd feel safest.

No. When there are no bike lanes, the safest place to be is at least one bicycle width away from the far right of the road.

Some drivers will overtake you in tight situations no matter what. If you stand in the far right, you have no leeway and will get stuck between death and hitting the curbside. Take a safety buffer to retreat to when the occasional mad driver comes for your life.

> Most pickups are driving office dudes like me to our office jobs every day.

Given the price of that thing, you should just buy a second, smaller electric car (maybe even a Twizy). If you care about your CO2 emissions, it's better to give up looking manly and driving like a madman at traffic lights.
