Git, invented in 2005. Programmers on 2004:
It's actually reassuring to see that despite all warnings and doomsayers there will still be opportunities for programmers capable of solving problems using natural intelligence.

The OneBlade has a transformer in the wall plug part, the actual cable going to the handheld unit is only carrying low voltage.

Anyone who uses the term "Artificial Intelligence" is now an ENEMY of the United States
Nothing says "highly accepted" like having to threaten people into using that idiocy.

That the assumedly unique, mysterious and hopefully supernatural ability I've had since childhood is actually only extremely rare and is called ear rumbling, and basically consists of a voluntary flexing of the tensor tympani.

RFK Jr’s claim about Black people’s immune systems is ‘unscientific and terrifying’
"Samudzi is concerned that a Kennedy appointment could result in policies that halt research and dismantle demonstrably proven health interventions."
I assumed it is already well-known that this is exactly the goal of his nomination.

Takes more effort and results in a static snapshot without being able to track the evolution of the project. (disclaimer: I don't work with ai, but I'd bet this is the reason and also I don't intend to defend those scraping twatwaffles in any way, but to offer a possible explanation)

It's almost like there were nuances to almost everything instead of the world being neatly divisible into good and bad.

By realising that what we now call waste will be the fuel source of the future. And also understanding that the renewables require a lot more area, material and energy to build than nuclear: https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/the-iron-law-of-power-density-part

I'm sorry for your negative experiences, but please be mindful that not only your subjective world exists. I might have been extremely lucky, but all my previous rental places were maintained by nice folks.

Vandalism is always reverted on SO, even if done by the original author. No knowledge is lost. Suing OA for violating the CC-BY license might be possible, but I'd wager SO is not interested in suing them, and since they hold the rights, not much can be done by others.

While I mostly agree, let me point out that a random person is not going to get a CT. It's almost 100% rich, right-wing tech-bros or fElon fanboys, or narcissistic assholes. If anyone is blowing away that much money, they have either researched the market and have put a higher weight on looks, ideology or signalling loyalty than on any practical aspects - or they have done no research at all. Both cases deserve to be ridiculed.
