@hthieblot I think many people replying to this don't understand the web != Internet. The concept of a "web app" didn't really become a thing until the noughties, but you could argue maybe Hotmail was the first web app.
@GaryMarcus I wish you would stick to a coherent argument. Either it's not effective and we don't have to worry about labor replacement, or it's effective and then we worry about labor replacement
@Noahpinion@stoneagenathan Even if you don't believe biodiversity is generally a good thing - there are many other downsides to invasive species. Your little bunnies were causing massive desertification in Oz until their numbers were brought under control
@_Dave__White_ "humans still build businesses, lead countries, fight wars" - none of those things happen within the culture. Think you are confused with contact
@Pontyprop@CThomas663@thepaulwilliams Yes - 8 was lock in Australia when I was growing up. Was very confused when I found they called 2nd row locks in England
@medinism@SameerPatel I don't want to contradict your broader point - but you are wrong about Salesforce vs Act! And Goldmine. Act and goldmine did not develop cloud solutions until way late - like mid to late 2000s
@JohnHar95851657@JaneotN yes very unfortunate - but I don't think the judge had much option. The victim did not want to re-testify if it went to retrial. Begs the question why the jury was hung - and was the prosecution competent?
@richardvadon@alvinfoo@edwardstrngr65 Kerman to quetta would have been brutal. Probably more so today. I did meet a guy who did this trip on a motorcycle in the 60s
@SawyerMerritt I see very little discussion of the fact that waymo in SF is currently usually significantly more expensive than Uber. Despite all the negativity you hear people are voting with their wallets. They prefer driverless taxis
@mflambert@garysparole@omgmrtea@RepThomasMassie You have some kind of point in that US debt is so extreme that there must be some explanation why we get away with it. But if that is the case why don't we just double or triple our current spending? What's stopping us?
