In my experience, only the minority of professors reply to such emails. Perhaps you’ve had better luck than I.

That means you’re not down with OOP.

The article itself proves you wrong on this one, my friend. The situation is less simple and more subtle than you’re claiming.

Of course ego is a factor. That’s true for every organization in the world. But there are many other highly relevant factors in play here.

The filibuster was the Democrats’ excuse. They used that excuse many times, and it was never legitimate.

If minority Republicans can use it to block everything, then minority Democrats can too … except that’s not how it played out … and that’s how we know that the corporate Dems were just pandering to big pharma et al.

Ah, something better that you … checks notes … didn’t bother to describe.

I can think of an improvement: national health care. Is that what you mean? … Certainly Trump doesn’t want that, but what about you?

Because honesty and integrity matter for society. We’re trying to create a better world, not replace the Republicans with Democrats who behave just as badly but have a different name.

That’s a straw man here. The ACA didn’t require individuals to buy insurance. They’re getting it because they value it, not because their money was already taken.

No. You showed one possible edge case, not a general rule.

Not sure how you can apply that principle here. If people don’t want insurance at all, we get it, but this is all about people who could not get insurance before and now are paying for this 100% optional thing.

Of course they could be in favor of NHS or an equivalent. That’s certainly possible. But I think you were not going that direction with your logic.

Certainly some are. How many is an entertaining question.

Many developers get paid, of course.

So he didn’t inherit the house, not quite.

Define “qualified”. Seriously try.

Human shaped targets with non-white skin color.

The alternatives are around now, and we know that many YouTube content creators are exploring other revenue streams, so it’ll be interesting to see how exodus works. Clearly YouTube is going to continue to get worse and some people are going to leave. What’s next? I’m excited.

It’s always interesting to watch companies implode. Apparently Reddit is blocking non-Google search engines from indexing them, and Twitter wants you to be logged in to view people’s profiles. Those types of moves guarantee that the platform won’t be relevant a decade from now and possibly sooner than that.

I wonder how many governments and companies will take this as a lesson on why brittle systems suck. My guess is most of them won’t… It’s popular to rely on very large third party services, which makes this type of incident inevitable.

Not quite. There are 30+ kids in each class. No technique is perfect, and you need to look at the whole situation to make that kind of determination.

If I scare a kid by asking them to speak, for example, and they drop the class, that’s not a teaching issue unless [insert lengthy backstory here].

I think that depends how you write your web scraper. Of course the web scraper is going to load the page, just like your web browser does, which by all accounts is not an issue. What happens after the page is loaded depends on how the software is written.

He spoke carelessly, but he didn’t exactly say what the author said he said. You can in fact do many things with it. Copyright doesn’t care what you do if you aren’t copying. That’s the definition of the word.
