If the customers prefer the walled garden then what’s the big deal? There are a number of other phones people can buy.

In my experience so far with AI, it's primarily good for creating boilerplate pages and APIs and for helping with auto-complete suggestions.

I think eventually AI agents will really take off but not sure if anything works well there yet.

It probably depends if the audience is intelligent and open-minded, but I agree, it will always be biased towards their preconceptions.

Tesla has too much competition and their CEO is part-time. Boggles my mind that the stock is priced so high relative to their financial metrics.

It also reminds me how the most upvoted comments on Reddit often reflect the consensus opinion but not necessarily the truth.

There's not much you're missing. His videos try to appeal to the lowest common denominator and are relatively vapid. Sort of like the junk food of YouTube.

My point though is that if a person renders themselves unable to have offspring, especially before they have any, then from a purely biological perspective it's a form of illness. The same view would apply to all animals. If every member of a group acted the same way then the group would also die out. The functional impairment you mention includes the inability to attract a mate and reproduce. Hormones and sex reassignment surgery also severely hamper fertility.

Also trans people tend to have many other correlated mental issues and for example have high suicide attempt rates.

>accuse people of being mentally ill based on their sexuality or gender identity

But the question is, are trans people actually mentally ill objectively? It certainly doesn't help them reproduce (a form of survival) from a biological perspective, for example.

This Johns Hopkins professor thinks it's mental illness:

Yea it’s odd how so many people have become pro-censorship.

I've used it before, but Next.js with TypeScript is much superior in many different ways.

Well actually, if they had used Next.js deployed via Vercel or something similar, it would have been statically cached on a CDN and prevents issues like this. But because they want to use older technology that's more difficult to cache and proxy, this happens.

If they had used Next.js with a typical deployment this wouldn't happen since it uses a static CDN cache for all pages.

Why use a 3rd party add-on solution instead of using something better in the first place?

I don't know why anyone would want to code with a language that isn't statically type safe at compile time in this day and age.

Also the people who go to raves aren’t helping with this, as most of them aren’t family focused. They have to get outsiders to join their subculture.

Maybe the observable universe is already a model inside of some computer.

If you use HTTP you can have middlemen hijacking your content or inserting malicious things and nobody would know. There's all kinds of weird actors out there.

Imagine it being 2024 and you don't know how to make your website HTTPS.

Congress plus the President's signing authority have massive power and broad latitude to make decisions. I don't think TikTok stands a chance really. I wonder if there is a place I could bet on it.

The problem is it’s become an entire of subculture of people, almost cult like, who are not only accepting of euthanasia but are actively pro-suicide. I think a lot of people would still be alive if this community didn’t exist. Most of them seem to have mental issues rather than being terminally ill. Also young people are especially vulnerable to being brainwashed by these sorts of things.

This forum site for example actively encourages and supports people who want to commit suicide: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/

Many of their members have died after encouraging each other to take the next step. They used to be on Reddit but got banned there a few years ago.

Would you want your children or young adults spending time there?

Most infringement is probably caused by sites that scrape content and automatically repost it for SEO optimization. Cron jobs are the ultimate infringers.

If the U.S. is leading the world's economy with high standards of living, maybe it is only a bad implementation in some aspects but not all.

In the death row case, the capital punishment isn't murder if you use classic definitions. If you change the definitions then it's only murder if you equate all homicide to murder.

And yes, both the will of the people and tradition can justify capital punishment.

It's the least bad system.

It's a little different when a jury of your peers convicts you of a crime which was democratically passed by a legislature, versus a lone gunman who feels he is the judge, jury, and executioner.

This should be flagged: it’s hyperbolic, not actual news, isn’t very interesting, and doesn’t create good discussion.

Deadman’s switch crypto token launch?

Sure there may be some exceptions. That's why I said "generally".

If you have a zero revenue business you generally shouldn't write tests. Just add some health checks for backend services and use strongly typed code for everything.
