  • Can't comment on NYC, but a huge chunk of cyclists in my area are genuinely reckless, Ebikes or not. I can understand that bikes are less dangerous than cars, but that doesn't mean bikes can't kill or injure anyone.

  • In the past 20 years, has anyone learned anything watching The Learning Channel (TLC)?

    Jump

  • It started out as The Learning Channel, now it's just TLC.

  • You're advocating for quantity over quality. You will easily find situations where students don't learn in small groups because the professor lecturing that group isn't a good professor.

  • It costs $8k without insurance or with a high-deductible plan. Marketed hospital prices are not the same as what patients pay. Yes, a lot will pay around the $8k, but a lot more will pay a few hundred dollars.

    I'm not saying the US has affordable health care, but if you're going to criticize something, you have to keep the nuance.

  • Anybody else annoyed by news headlines being predominantly clickbaity now?

    Jump

  • One newspaper is enough to get a shallow understanding of something, but it's not enough to get a more nuanced understanding. Even then, not every newspaper covers every story, so you'll need multiple even for a shallow understanding about XYZ.

  • Anybody else annoyed by news headlines being predominantly clickbaity now?

    Jump

  • In fairness, I haven't found a good paid news aggregator that has those paid sources. I sincerely doubt that most people can pay $10/month each to read NYT, The Economist, Bloomberg, WSJ, their local big newspaper, Wired, and whatever else might be useful.

  • What majors should I take (CS or Management)?

    Jump

  • I've read some takes that basically said the following:

    The market for devs will shrink, but the market for senior devs will grow greatly.

    Assuming that's true, you won't have to worry if you enjoy programming and are going to actively gain tons of skills in your free time.

    If you won't be that person, then I'm not sure if CS is good for you.

  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

    Jump

  • Resilio hasn't been issue-free for my use case, but it hasn't been destructive like Syncthing has. I thought the Syncthing stuff was just me, but I've seen similar accounts from some people online.

  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

    Jump

  • Hard disagree. I've had so many issues with Syncthing deleting files and refusing to connect over LAN that I've never had with Resilio Sync.

  • This is such an awful idea as it stops us from buying international packages from anywhere. The 'loophole' is already closed for China.

  • As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?

    Jump

  • I'd probably consult a lawyer.

    They can't (legally) deny you entry into the US, but they might make your life hell when re-entering. Bring a burner phone with you in case they take your phone. Don't keep anything even remotely political saved on there.
