Isn't this also just due to the right owning significantly more platforms and media outlets as well?
comment in response to
post
The problem is also that most if not pretty much all platforms are owned by the right. The left has no billionaires.

And more importantly, give meaningful names to variables and methods, and attempt to make methods small and modular.

Reminds me of the argument I see often in modded Minecraft: "I need to grind for OP automation because I don't have a lot of play time" (will stop playing once automation is finished )

100%. They've never been inclusive or tolerant. They were just faking it because it "sold well" to their target demographic.

And the vast majority of transport emissions (per product) is the local transport. You're helping the local economy by buying local, not the environment.

One of my biggest gripes is people focusing a lot on "buying local". But local meat is still a lot worse than Peruvian quinoa from an environmental perspective.

100%, close proximity smoking is literally causing bodily harm. It's crazy that it's legal to smoke inside with a kid at home and stuff like that too.

Pandemic, too many animals on too little space start creating viruses that not only kill the animals, but can also jump species (small chance) and might cause hours of nausea affect on the player

It's very sad and scary how the extreme right with strong support of both liberal and conservative media shifted the overtone window to "migrants bad".

Unbelievable (though not unexpected) how big tech bows to big fash.

Yes, I don't think that this is something that should be provided by third-party entities that have to rely on donations but run by the scientific community. Instead of paying millions to Springer etc, hosting things at universities on university machines and using Uni/Institutional knowhow.

Open-Source Communities handle these kind of things for a long time at very low operating costs. If you look for arch user repository mirrors you can see many hosted at universities as well etc. 2/2

Because the exact quantity doesn't matter all that much. We know it's several orders of magnitude less than what we're paying now. And if we involve universities in the system to help with hosting this could be decreased by another decent factor. 1/2

Millions vs trillions is still a massive difference though.

And before anyone complains, I'll add: "and outrageously so"

I thought that charging the people who are providing the content is how all of academic publishing worked.

Weed ideas:
- Police is after main char
- Gangs are after main char
- General Conspiracy against main char
Drunk ideas:
- Person thinks main char is attractive
- Main char is angry
- Main char thinks they are very attractive
Clear win for weed ideas here.

NGL, when I heard the 600$ figure I already knew this service was a scam. That's an insane amount of money to host a simple database/website.

Was just an outcome resulting from All input (information and experience) I've had so far + some biological factor how the input was processed + some quantum randomness making me feel like I did this out of a free will.

Video games are active, only active part of reading is flipping the pages.

Would be interesting to study the correlation between the inclusion of "highly cited" in their google scholar field with how much citation gaming someone does.

Same here in Austria. Got a Burrito this week. After already the spice disappointment last week, I went with the "very spicy habanero" sauce. Which was then like Tabasco level. =(

Oh nice, that's something I wanted to look into for parallel smart contract processing.

That is completely true. We've wanted to leave for Kofi a while ago, but unfortunately their API sucks just as badly as the Patreon one. So we'll probably use the github one soon that offers these things. But it's obviously a bit of a "niche dev problem".

You could try their discord, I was recently able to reach some people there, after they changed their API without any email announcement.

I always have the feeling that unit tests result in reinforcement bias (It does what I thought it does), compared to integration tests which from my experience help finding errors more easily.

What? You're trying to tell me that a business sector will try to change the status quo until it becomes the status quo and will then switch to defend the status quo?
