Most of them are older than 80 anyways.

You’re presuming a state of mind, just as the other people you’re arguing against are. We don’t know if they regret it or not and never will.

On par with those talks. At least those ones can be productive, unlike all the greenwashing they’re usually doing.

They’ve already built bunkers for themselves.

Startup culture isn’t the most efficient. For example, back when Twitter still existed their iOS team had more than 100 people. I was an iOS developer back then, and I could easily have made a similar product alone (just the client, not the server). I don’t think that Tweetbot had more than one developer, and they produced much higher quality than that Twitter team.

Also remember that (former) Google employees who published a video about their work day, where they spent about 30mins for actual work and the rest was R&R.

That’s why I always share individual windows, never the whole screen. My desktop is nobody’s business.

Part of that money was paid by X itself (as debt), devaluing it in that process.

If Americans wouldn’t be so allergic to public transport, it’d be way easier to move away from the whole concept of personal vehicles (except bikes and scooters of course).

Uh, they’re his subjects, he can do as he pleases. They should be thankful that they were allowed to handle his belongings while they were alive.

Palestine at least has the excuse that they haven’t voted for a long time, Israel doesn’t.

That means the big, televised sports too.

I never said otherwise.

If you want any given game to be fair every single team should have a certain distribution among height/weight classes if not among genders as well.

That works for a team sport, but what about sport for a single person, like kickboxing/grappling/tennis/etc?

Why is it dehumanizing to have a separate division? Is it dehumanizing for women to have a separate division?

You can do sports for fun, but not the one with the money behind it. The one without the money behind it is not the one you can see in broadcasts, it happens elsewhere. Because broadcasts cost money, and so those are interlinked.

So, the whole topic is only about the one with the money behind it, aka the one not done for fun.

Even on estrogen, the power level is nowhere near equal to born women. I personally think that the only fair solution is to have separate trans divisions, but there's the question whether there are enough contenders for that. Even women often have problems, I know a kickboxing slender woman who constantly complains about not being able to find competitors and always having to compete at a severe disadvantage.

The problem is that there’s too much money on the line. If certain performance enhancing drugs (like testosterone) are allowed, every athlete will be required to take them if they want to compete at the highest level. Athletes are known to favor short-term gains over long-term health consequences, and they’re pressured by their environment to do so as well.

The police all over the world shoot people all the time and then bring them to the hospital to get fixed. There’s nothing suspicious about it.

Being 5% faster than the previous generation isn’t a great selling point, so they’re grasping for straws.

Yes, but unlike code, you can iterate from a vague description to become more precise over time. Code has to be highly precise from the start.

Where is Rupert Murdoch? He should be very high up there.

How long until these M.2 SSDs get their own SATA power connector?

The problem with FreeCAD is that the UI is abysmal. There is tons of duplicate functionality in different benches, but if you start in one you might discover that it doesn’t have what you need and have to start over in another.
