I agree that the vast majority are not walkable but it doesn't need to be that way. I live near an extremely walkable suburb.

Storefronts at the sidewalk instead of on the other end of sprawling parking lot. Pedestrian crossings in the middle of longer stretches of road (as opposed to only at intersections). Dedicated bike paths throughout the entire town. Schools centrally located on a single campus in the middle of town.

It goes to show what a town can do when the local government decides they want to be more than just a outpost for a larger city.

Elk is amazing. Even running it as my primary client on mobile. Really shows how good PWAs can be.

One of my favorite features is the built-in code highlighting.

Many of Ive's initial designs of products were fantastic and great examples of Dieter Ram's principles of design.

Unfortunately I think he drank a bit too much of his own kool-aid and "innovated" on the original designs in ways that were user hostile and didn't serve to complement the function of the products.

If your accident involves more than one vehicle, the other driver shouldn't need to live with your death on their conscience (as it would for most people, regardless of whether or not they were at fault).

A civil war doesn't need to be between two regions (like in the American Civil war). I think most people (including myself) envision a "Handmaid's Tale" style coup from by an extremest group / government faction with an ensuing rebellion.

I would like to think it could never happen. But I also wouldn't have ever expected to see the halls of Congress violently trespassed by a bunch of rednecks with confederate flags.

Just imagine if the Jan 6 insurrectionists we're organized and not completely inept at accomplishing their goal.

Given how horrible DALL-E 2 is at rendering text provided by the prompt, I doubt it is as simple as what is being suggested.

Regardless, OpenAI has acknowledged the bias found in past results and that techniques have been applied to help address it:

This a good time for a reminder that biases in training data will produce biased results. Just because the data might contain hundreds of thousand of white male business people doesn't mean we want/need that bias to be reflected in the output.

Yeah, as a parent of a young child, all those things are still extremely common (at least at all the playgrounds I've see constructed in the past 5 years). Many even have 10ft+ rope structures and 15ft tall slides.

Sure there are more "thought games" and the merry-go-rounds won't pin and drag a child across the ground.

I mostly take my child to metroparks in my area. I wouldn't be surprised if school playgrounds have been made safer due to less individual supervision and liability for the school.

I seriously doubt you have the resources available to effectively evaluate all the claims for yourself.

No one is an expert in all topics. We are literally not qualified to evaluate all claims.

E.g. Joe Schmoe is not qualified to personally evaluate the the safety/effectiveness of seatbelts/vaccines/pesticides. At some point they will need to trust someone else's evaluation.

People pushing an agenda can also choose to include all the indisputable facts that support their agenda and omit the ones that don't. Evaluating claims without the full picture doesn't give you the truth.

So I ask you, how did you "evaluate" the claims in 2000 Mules?

I'm really tired of needing to wade through these sort of comments. This is not a unique criticism.

If you don't don't get it, either try it out or move on.

These comments add no value to the conversation.

A large number of people seem to have only recently discovered this chauvinist pig.

His Twitter feed and YouTube channel are full of hot-takes, intended to shock and trigger people.

He knows exactly what he's doing. He's just another Alex Jones or Joe Rogan. Getting you to share his posts and videos to demonstrate your outrage is his goal and many are falling for it, hook, line, and, sinker.

If you take issue with what he is saying (and I hope you do), please choose to amplify the voices of the women he'd rather be silent. Don't amplify him.
