Yes, good point. The different services offered might have different implications.

I agree, I didn’t mean to give Twitter as a completely analogous example, there are definitely differences that arise from the different services offered

I think WordPress as a private company can refuse service to whomever they like. There’s a big difference between a company not selling you something versus the government censoring you. The complicat…

Don’t take the following too seriously, but studies might preselect for liars. You usually need to meet certain criteria to be eligible and participants may fudge their answers to participate. I’ve do…

If you use spotlight and type in a word, you can press command + L, to jump to the dictionary definition

I put in “Nova” first since that’s the best instance of this problem I know, only to learn that it’s an urban legend!

This isn’t a great example, it’s succeeded by “Angular”, v2 of AngularJS.

Your first point actually seems pretty unclear for something stated as fact. TikTok and Instagram are both social networks, sure, but they’re quite different

I don’t know how old you are but this is not the case at all among my age group, recent college grads. If you say you work at Google, to continue your example, people are definitely impressed and thin…

So is it enough to not think about it or not enough so that you must think about it to not spend unnecessarily

Hang in there. These are strange times and the most we can ask of ourselves is to get through them.

Genuinely curious, do we have sources for the words used in a specifically racial context?

That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen a computer do

We cannot be sure of any being’s sentience without direct experience. Absent that, we are left to our best guesses. This is true of most things. Our best guess is that plants do not experience sufferi…
