It is a matter of law. Only humans count as persons and citizens. Any robot that makes a decision defers accountability to its human owner.

Beauty: Is the software as aesthetically pleasing as possible?

Imo this point should be changed to reviewability. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I think we should start by making exams that mirror work day performance: Presenting ideas, summarizing, reviewing a proposal and commenting etc. This is of course more expensive, but keeping exams inexpensive is one of the major problems in the age of AI.

Just to note: I was taught 3 different writing systems and my ability to write on a whiteboard is rubbish

They focused on the wrong product imo. File sync as in syncing the files you are actively working on and temporary files like clipboard etc. is powerful. Syncing folders and doing backups is difficult and expensive. I am still looking for a good product that makes it easy to do all that.

I agree. As the amount of cheap content grows, I think we will come to like condensed to the point articles like this one.

I once worked in a government agency where 4 employees used a app that on ran on IE6. So the rest of the 2000 strong organization had to use chrome by remote desktop into a server.

1) AutoCodeBranch does not present similar problems, so you can't compare the Upper Bound metric across languages. Actually the Elixir tests are transmuted from other languages.

2) The Tesla section is interesting. I'm not saying that you are wrong, just that their methods have not produced the promised results yet

Also for males it is natural birth control. Can be a plus depending on your situation

I know many will disagree and that is ok. Imo we need global id based on nation states national id. I know that the US doesn't have that, but the rest of the developed world do. I don't want id on porn sites because I don't think that is necessary, but I want bot-free social media, 13+ sharing forums like reddit and I want competitive games where if you are banned you need your brothers id to try cheating again.
