Yeah except that logic doesn't apply to the UK and France

Can't comment on NYC, but a huge chunk of cyclists in my area are genuinely reckless, Ebikes or not. I can understand that bikes are less dangerous than cars, but that doesn't mean bikes can't kill or injure anyone.

It started out as The Learning Channel, now it's just TLC.

Maybe we wouldn't need external libraries to do basic things if JavaScript had a standard library

It's always weird when we actually get good legislation passed because of this.

Even if it benefits big players more, copyright still benefits small artists

People still cheat in smaller classroom settings.

You're advocating for quantity over quality. You will easily find situations where students don't learn in small groups because the professor lecturing that group isn't a good professor.

It costs $8k without insurance or with a high-deductible plan. Marketed hospital prices are not the same as what patients pay. Yes, a lot will pay around the $8k, but a lot more will pay a few hundred dollars.

I'm not saying the US has affordable health care, but if you're going to criticize something, you have to keep the nuance.

One newspaper is enough to get a shallow understanding of something, but it's not enough to get a more nuanced understanding. Even then, not every newspaper covers every story, so you'll need multiple even for a shallow understanding about XYZ.

In fairness, I haven't found a good paid news aggregator that has those paid sources. I sincerely doubt that most people can pay $10/month each to read NYT, The Economist, Bloomberg, WSJ, their local big newspaper, Wired, and whatever else might be useful.

I've read some takes that basically said the following:

The market for devs will shrink, but the market for senior devs will grow greatly.

Assuming that's true, you won't have to worry if you enjoy programming and are going to actively gain tons of skills in your free time.

If you won't be that person, then I'm not sure if CS is good for you.

Resilio hasn't been issue-free for my use case, but it hasn't been destructive like Syncthing has. I thought the Syncthing stuff was just me, but I've seen similar accounts from some people online.

Hard disagree. I've had so many issues with Syncthing deleting files and refusing to connect over LAN that I've never had with Resilio Sync.

This is such an awful idea as it stops us from buying international packages from anywhere. The 'loophole' is already closed for China.

I'd probably consult a lawyer.

They can't (legally) deny you entry into the US, but they might make your life hell when re-entering. Bring a burner phone with you in case they take your phone. Don't keep anything even remotely political saved on there.

Expect them.

You'd be surprised at how many allistic people can't detect satire

He means separate companies with few or no ties with each other.

Is ICE run by the Canadian government?
