Information wasn’t what those voters lacked.

50%? No, that’s for high wages. And previous taxation is irrelevant: we as a society get to choose what is taxed, and there’s no inherent reason why only a single tax should apply to someone. Sales taxes, for example (which disproportionately burden those with less wealth) are paid out of one’s already-taxed income.

Presumably because it hasn’t yet been published?

FTA:

I wouldn’t imagine most people consider anchovy paste a sauce?

I think one factor is the lack of variation. Sure, a copywriter might use those techniques as a hook, but there’s far more content using them paragraph after paragraph after paragraph than I’ve ever seen before.

You might also reframe how you read those comments. Perhaps when people are labeling a piece as “written by AI,” they’re just conveying that they perceive it to use the same “voice” that LLMs use, and judge that voice negatively. Sometimes people say things non-literally and don’t need proof.

It’s the fake drama. Punchy sentences. Contrast. And then? A banal payoff.

The abstract refers only to “sun exposure,” but it really did focus on sunbathing:

> Four predetermined questions were posed regarding sun exposure: (i) How often do you sunbathe during the summertime? (never, 1−14 times, 15−30 times, >30 times); (ii) Do you sunbathe during the winter, such as on vacation to the mountains? (no, 1−3 days, 4−10 days, >10 days); (iii) Do you use tanning beds? (never, 1−3 times per year, 4−10 times per year, >10 times per year); and (iv) Do you go abroad on vacation to swim and sunbathe? (never, once every 1–2 years, once a year, two or more times per year).

Most people who use a keyboard aren’t using it for c like languages.

I’d bet 99% of professional developers have never peeked at kernel source code or built their own device drivers.

I think you’re taking “necessary” literally, whereas the author is posing a question about morality.

Why do you imagine that =1931 wouldn’t be equally confusing in some future decamillenium? Arabic numerals have only been around for (charitably) 0.12 decamillenia. Sorry, =.12 decamillenia.

Why on earth should your brand new account be considered trustworthy when it comes to commenting on either party?

Is a lightweight easy-to-read plain text markup language the right tool for that job?

Not that it couldn’t be trivial in the abstract, but I’m struggling to imagine a use for a nested list item containing a table of blockquotes. It doesn’t seem at all surprising that a tool wouldn’t anticipate that.

Of course it’s not a given as to any particular person, but regardless, it’s the right presumption.

And yes, of course there are things outside your control. Is that really “equally worthy” of your consideration and energy?

Perhaps a stack-based language like Uiua would be well-suited.

Might be a case of ginned up accusations of “poor management” to cover for political animus.

Going from 7% to 4% is shaving 43% off your mortgage rate—which of course would make a difference. But it’s not even the same order of magnitude as what we’re talking about here.
