I don’t know the game, but definitely an Atari.

Depends on what the machine is for.
Nobody is “begrudgingly” accepting scientific results. But you want to tell that story, right? You’re looking for an “us vs. them” situation, but that’s not how science works.
Also, I think some of your facts are not actually facts.
Finally, a question itself is not “anti-science”. How could it be? However, if you’re using a question as a smokescreen to confuse readers or viewers to push your selfish political agenda, that would be shady politics, and it would have nothing to do with science at all.
I’m as reliable as you pay me to be. Give me a 3-year contract with guaranteed raises and see what happens.
They already are, depending what you’re looking for. A lot of the answers that I’ve found to take questions in the last few years are on obscure developer support forums.
Your take on the debt ceiling is at odds with history. When Democrats and Republicans pass bills that require spending, they are forcing the increase of the debt ceiling. This happened under Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, everyone. If Washington politicians were serious about limiting the debt, they would have not passed all of these bills.
If you think that politicians should care about national debt, then you need to be calling on them to reduce spending in ordinary legislation, not on debt ceiling legislation.
That being said, I don’t know where you’re going to find the savings. What does the federal government spend a lot of its money on? Social security medicare, medicaid, and the military. Which of those do you want to cut?
This is classic Biden. It’s classic center-right Democrat speak. The Republicans predictably do something bad decades after they started trying to accomplish it, and centrist Washington Democrats sit around doing nothing. I can’t say they betrayed my expectations because this is exactly what they have been doing for the last 20 years.
Discrimination will always be with us. The important point is not that it’s happening now but how we as a society handle it.
Twitter’s rate limiting has been reported as perhaps being a failure to pay bills or otherwise properly manage their servers, and not some specific policy change. So that particular example might not be what you were focusing on or what you meant to focus on. Obviously Twitter made many other decisions, and the recent big one is cutting off access to tweets for people who are not logged in.
As for Reddit, the price of the API is not the point. Rather, the price is so high that nobody’s going to use the API, and that’s the point. But they want to pretend that it’s still possible to be used. And we know this is true because if the API really has such high value, then presumably some of the popular clients out there would have been worth it for Reddit to purchase, and the purchase price would presumably have some correlation to API usage.
On a more general level, though, I think what you’re talking about is the process known as “enshittification”. It’s possible for social media companies to avoid this end result, but it requires great care especially in the early stages.
Oh the mistake is all on Elon. He decided to fire a lot of his core staff and he’s paying the price now. Also, you are in a great position to laugh at the engineers. They’re making the kind of mistakes as professionals that you and I might make as amateurs, and that is comedic.
Elon doesn’t understand how to use robots.txt.
I don’t think it’s reasonable to say that because only 10% of drivers are reckless, we don’t get to regulate the other 90% along with them. Of course if we had some magical wand that would tell us who the reckless drivers are, then we could only target the dangerous folks, but often that’s impossible.
Often the best we can do is take a look at the data and see what kind of policies would not be horribly burdensome for the general public and yet would save a lot of lives, and then we institute those.
The other part of the problem with the 10% bad drivers argument is that bad drivers change from hour to hour, and from day to day. After all, the majority of people believe that they’re good drivers, right?
That may be a good idea, but the situation here was caused by corruption within the Canadian government, not by Google doing shady things.
In other words, the Canadian government tried to impose a link tax, and they’ve just discovered that both Google and Facebook don’t think Canadian media is worth anything.
The best solution is to stop reading Canadian media. Those companies knew exactly what was going to happen, enough of them supported it, and they deserve to lose their readers.
Maybe it’s not so mysterious. Maybe hotels in Russia should have bars over all of their windows to avoid such incidents in the future.
I hosted websites on my own hardware for 20 years and it worked out well Recently I’ve been using a VPS, and that has many benefits and drawbacks. Is it worth paying for the VPS? Maybe. That all depends on your situation.
