This sounds right until you realise how much market share Windows captured, held and now even solidifies from the Ballmer era.

I don't agree with you, and I believe the Ballmer era did wonders for Windows and was a turbulent period. The new era of MS now is quite stable because of this.

"cut a deal" is an idiom.

"cuts ____ deals" is not and more closely resembles the removal of deals related to ____.

No, a program that copies files is quite different to a human that writes those files data down and recalls them.

It'll be okay. We "destroyed" photography by uploading to places like Instagram and Facebook but photography as a whole is still alive. It turns out even though there is lots of stealing, the world still spins and people still seek out original creators.

You actually don't have to rebuild anything in Factorio. That's your personal decision.

Working on tourist visas is illegal... ?

What's the difference between buying an iPhone and taking one from the Apple store? You get an iPhone at the end of both.

The same time the rest of the world did, around the period of WW2. You being in an isolated bubble is irrelevant.

What a weird reply.

Huh?

Did you not read the context of the comments you're replying to or something?

People using the tool isn't the same as those people being replaced by the tool. Why would anyone think those are the same?

And you are very wrong.

Our world?

You created something from scratch that used several boilerplate components with general use cases.

The amount of times professional devs do this is probably almost nil on the scale of the world.

> starting a fullstack project from scratch, and i'm stupefied by the result.

Really? That's possibly the easiest task you could have asked it to do.

Yeah. The only way this revolution doesn't happen is if humans are cheaper, easier to manage or source. And I'm pretty sure AI is already beating a human in all those categories doing the same job.

Our jobs aren't replaced yet because they can't be.

If you think the revolution starts with 8 billion people you're just plain wrong.

It starts with the first world and is very perceivable.

How did we perceive cars replacing horses? Well for one they were replaced in the first world... now imagine how fast a piece of software can change reality.

It's not there yet, and you can't perceive it because so.

I know, I think this was always a joke, especially with the yellow liquid.

Yeah, but there are more atoms than grains of sand. We can still be grains of sand in someone's universe.

Also known as anti-tracking insurance.

>in that being this small we can know so much!

We only know what we think we know. We could just be grains of sand in someone else's world for all we know.

Had a white van with huge antennas parked out front for a few days when they were refusing to believe that a large share house of young people didn't watch TV. This was in 2015. We didn't own a TV nor watch.

The van soon left after a few days but left a full bottle of yellow liquid. Makes a fun story, but yeah they threaten you a bunch and it's quite sad.

That quote means nothing about the future.

That's what I thought too, but how can there be such significant shadows? Wouldn't the shadows of any wavelength they are sending be near nothing?

In the blog there's a video of what looks like cars moving around, but the lighting is constantly changing. How does that work?

It looks like a timelapse but then there are cars doing normal car things.

It also isn't part of urban sprawl.

This isn't about singing. This is about foreigners talking on the phone while driving. It's uncanny but nearly every foreigner I've seen doing gig work has their phone to their ear talking in their home tongue.

Nothing wrong with that unless they're driving.

1. It's distracting, truly distracting. 2. It's a possible means of working while at work.

It's actually good that Amazon didn't just record the convos and reprimand people based on an AI oversight of whether it breaks the above rules.

No, MySpace was popular because you could change the entire page's html and css.

It was a virtual hosting platform where you can insert scripts.

You really did miss out unfortunately, it was great.

Yes, it is. They are measuring the milk in isolation, which in this instance means to pour (and measure with your eyes) as it fills the empty container before the tea. Whereas you can't really measure how much the volume is changing (eyeballing) in isolation.

Think of it as the difference between measuring a liquid in a container and eyeballing a liquid in another liquid.

Yeah it's gone under the radar pretty much, but going from an early 80s car in the 2010s to a new car, it was like I was driving blind for half the time but reversing cameras are great (too bad they also cause problems where we can't really see everything).

Driving in older cars is way easier apart from power steering. The rest are luxuries like air con, entertainment. Even cabin space in older cars was vastly larger than new cars and the exteriors of new cars are vastly larger now than before.. thanks (but no thanks) to safety measures.

Measure is not being used as a literal verb. It's being used as an approximate measure. The same way we measure how much time we spend doing a task without a clock.

Agreed, but locale sub-reddits are usually the fastest sustained growth forums on there and the power of the mods is exceptionally realistic.

I'm unsure why you think me pointing out that there exists censorship here is a cause for me to leave the site?

I didn't take it personally. Censorship exists and dang perpetrates it. Nothing wrong with learning that.

>Continuing on your "censorship" opinion is likely to earn you more downvotes and flags from other users

Why would I care if people get upset at me understanding something? It's not an opinion. It's a fact. You asked. Why would I not answer objectively?

I'm more than happy for you to remain in the dark on this matter if that's what you prefer.

Dang personally censors and endorses censorship on this forum.

If a thread gets too many replies it is censored. If dang finds your comment personally offensive but it's not against the rules, it will be removed.

It's a fine line between moderation and censorship unfortunately.
