Can you argue the reverse, i.e. why we should get hung up on social constructs, without reference to other social constructs?
How do you define "genuine demand" for a process that can scale pretty much infinitely, albeit with diminishing returns? Since the RAM contracts are sized based on future projections, chances are good they are buying more than they'll actually need.

And they're already cornering the market! If memory prices hadn't quadrupled, I bet you'd see lots more commercial activity working on local models. OpenAI is actively preventing this entire market segment from growing, AND they're hurting tons of tech-dependent markets at the same time. It's no coincidence that this allows them to ask for higher prices.

How about you set up factories to cover the demand for your hobby, and stop draining the economy when people are already struggling?
I'd argue that in this case two wrongs literally do make a right, because AFAIK game theory proves tit-for-tat to be the most effective strategy in a two-player prisoner's dilemma (which this boils down to). Since the few instances able to prevent such voter repression had already proven their defection to the side trying to repress voters, Newsom's approach seems to objectively be the best one to defend democracy.

If this comes to pass, it will destroy one of my favorite aspects of gaming: talking about shared experiences. If my gaming experience is randomly generated and yours is too, there's almost nothing we share.

As long as you stick close to first-party defaults, you can circumvent almost all of that. I've had far less trouble with build steps in SPAs that follow this philosophy, than with most native environments. It only becomes an issue if you need to layer tons of individual dependencies for things to work.

I also stay away from dynamic prerendering and/or hydrating. If an SPA can't be hosted statically, it should have a very good reason.

IMO building around Vue has really paid off over the last decade. They fixed the frequent Webpack config issues with Vite, they fixed the frequent Jest issues with Vitest, they improved build times a lot with Rolldown and oxc, they fixed all the annoying linter/formatter config stuff with oxfmt & oxlint, and Vue itself prevents tons of issues that plague React projects.

After reading GPs comment, I almost started thinking about systemic issues of our current economic structures. Good thing you are here to remind us that any problems under capitalism must be accepted without a critical thought, because COMMUNISM!
At no point did they imply that Michigan currently requires voter ID. Arainach gave you an example of disparity in ease of voting.

As a separate point, they preemptively mention that a similar disparity exists re/ getting an ID, which is what you're trying to add as a requirement. It's a straightforward argument.

So where do you get "that Michigan makes it difficult to get an ID for voter suppression purposes"?

It would be interesting to see how that number changes if we excluded governments overthrown by the US.
I've been trying to understand the logic of this comment for the last five minutes, but genuinely the only explanation I can come up with is that it's satire.
Just wanted to say that these questions would indeed be great to have answered, or at least discussed. It's weird how cultish some people get.
I'm confused - the last sentence of your quote seems to explicitly state that mRNA vaccines are not gene therapies.

I also don't understand your larger objection. Your quote seems to say that the only difference compared to a regular vaccine is that the antigens are produced inside the patient's body, but the vaccination mechanism is literally the exact same. So why would you object to calling it a vaccine?

I'd just like to note: this article has 107 comments, of which you've posted 29, all in support of Bolsonaro and using the same rhetorical tactics as Trump supporters keep using.
Let's assume I'm talking about the same market as the person I responded to.
> And unlike a lot of things, media doesn't expire. I still regularly find albums, movies, and books from decades ago I enjoy today.

Media doesn't expire, but with increasing distance to the cultural context it was created in, enjoying any work in all its nuances becomes harder. Take for example Arrested Development - one of the funniest TV shows of this century, but unless you bring sufficient knowledge on the Bush Jr. administration, you'll miss the funniest layers of many jokes and stories.

And it gets all the more interesting to look back at how the Zeitgeist changed over time, as tropes evolve and tastes keep changing.

Project Hail Mary! I loved it, will definitely be a yearly rewatch for me.
I genuinely cannot understand how anyone with basic knowledge of economics could believe that government intervention is responsible for all unoccupied apartments in a market.
Re:ThinkRail from JetBrains on Saturday October 24, 2026 @09:40AM (#50221131)
Yeah, seems that way - at least the editor space has a lot more competition than GPUs, so we don't have to put up with it.

In the end, I'd love to see Jetbrains pull themselves together and return to their former glory. But I don't know if I'll ever give them another chance since their pricing structure heavily punishes unsubscribing. Since the bugs pushed me over that ledge, it'd seem that they should offer lower prices, not higher ones!

I couldn't agree more with your comment, especially the first paragraph. It feels like there's always someone ready to play the devil's advocate for corporations, so subsequent discussions happen mostly under unrealistic assumptions which happen to align with the companies' goals.
Re:ThinkRail from JetBrains on Saturday October 24, 2026 @08:26AM (#50220607)
I don't mind the new look, I also enjoyed the previous UI refresh. But I don't think UI changes are a good use of JetBrain's resources while the core functionality is frequently broken.

One example: In August 2024, new Vue projects stopped working correctly with Webstorm - not terrible on it's own, stuff can happen. The issue was reported on August 19th[0]. Someone posted a workaround, and on August 29th, they announced that a future version will fix the issue.

That future version was released on October 23rd[1]. In the intervening two months there was no indication in Webstorm that the LSP crashing was a known issue with a workaround. Users just had to search for the issue, stumble upon the thread, and manually update the component. They couldn't release this tiny version bump for two months, or at least add a link to the issue thread.

This would be fine if Webstorm were free, but it's pretty freaking expensive, and I didn't get any money back for the product being defective for 1/6th of the year.

Re:ThinkRail from JetBrains on Saturday October 24, 2026 @08:05AM (#50220485)
Oh, I've never really tried that one. It probably goes much further than the DB integrations in Webstorm etc., right? Do you have any favorite features that could be interesting to look at?
Re:ThinkRail from JetBrains on Saturday October 24, 2026 @07:41AM (#50220336)
> But, they still have a solid IDE

Which one exactly? I used to love Webstorm and Rider, but there were so many workflow-breaking bugs in each new release of Webstorm that I switched to VS Code. I still use Rider, but I've stopped my All Products subscription, because new releases usually decreased the amount of well-working features (and new features often didn't work at all).

Around 2022 I'd have agreed 100%, but these days not so much.

Why do you feel the need to lie about something like this?

57% of Germans approve looking into a ban. That's the majority, simple as that. https://volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/umfrage-mehrheit-afd-ver...

Are you aware that data centers function globally? You don't need to have a data center next to you.
Parties that favor limited immigration have no issues in Germany, for example the leading government party favors that. This is not what's pushing the majority of Germans to favor looking into a ban of the AfD.

Haven't we had this same discussion before?

Re:Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest on Friday October 23, 2026 @09:21AM (#50208583)
Only a tiny minority of AWS employees work on/in/around the data centers. Quick research shows an average of ~0.2-0.3 employees per MW for large DCs, so at best it's gonna be a couple hundred jobs.
It predicts that first the CDU will form a coalition with the AfD. If we ban the AfD beforehand, this can't happen.
We're not talking about arrests, but about banning the party (and successor parties, which is a specific and well-defined legal concept). Since this prevents them from using their established structures and connections, new rightwing parties would have a chance to establish themselves without immediately being taken over by the extreme right again.
In that case you're blatantly lying, because in 4 out of the 6 states you mentioned, proceedings have been initiated by the parties you implied.
