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.
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.
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
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.
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.
