this is not entirely true and i’ve seen the exact same comment regurgitated with the same exact numbers for the past two years. I am not in really in favor of section 174 but i’m tired of seeing misinfo. I have discussed this with a CPA multiple times and its simplified and blown out of proportion in a way that you can’t actually have a conversation about it

When you comment in bad faith you get unkind responses

The kawai vpc is pretty much that, right? You don’t need fast usbc for audio and it’s the best action on a midi controller

I think what people need to keep in mind is that AR is not just going to be a Moores Law type thing. AR has to not only improve with regards to size, but also find ways to deal with etendue while reducing that size, and dealing with thermal issues. It’s easy to assume AR just needs a few more years because everything else in tech has been like that, but the improvements in the space that are likely needed for people to feel comfortable publicly using AR might take a lot longer than what is usual.

Nicotine does stimulate the prefrontal cortex like adderall so self-medicating can play a role, but a lot of people with ADHD don’t get addicted to their medication. From what i’ve experienced, its the behavior that’s hard to quit. Not saying you’re wrong, just that I think the higher number of smokers is more due to the fact that quitting is harder because of the action of smoking, not because it acts similar to medication in some ways.

Smoking is twice as common in people with ADHD. ADHD specifically affects impulse control which means you’re much more likely to get addicted because bad habits are harder to stop doing.

initstate is an override of statefulwidget, its no different than any other frameworks lifecycle events and its a flutter thing, so its not really something you would confuse with a constructor or something. I can understand not knowing if you should create a normal constructor or a factory i guess, but getting confused about initstate is not a reason go is superior.

Its not plain and simple. As someone who has talked to people who actually do it, it’s much more common to be art-related and marking that someone exists than anything gang related. Maybe it used to be a certain way but it certainly isn’t strongly correlated now.

This is not true, the majority of tags are not gang related

How does this possibly correlate to people tagging? Minor non-destructive property crime on the paint of a building is not the same as violent crime, and also the LA crime rate has been shrinking for years. Every college has campus safety guidelines as well that tend to say things like that

As someone who knows a lot of people who tag, they add significantly more to the character of a city while being more of a supportive community than most groups of artists, I would rather have that in my city then some random “fake deep“ piece that gets a pass because it’s more marketable.

this is a dangerous comment, schizophrenia is not something that just gets better with diet

amd also was sued and settled for price fixing with nvidia in 2008

This is such a nothing argument. Yes, new artists are inspired by other artists and sometimes make art similar to others, but a huge part of learning and doing art is to find a unique style.

But that’s not even the important part of the argument. A lot of artists work for commission, and are hired for their style. If an AI can be trained without explicit permission from their images, they lose work because a user can just prompt “in the style of”.

There’s no real great solution, outside of law, because the possibility of doing that is already here. But I’ve seen this argument so much and it’s just low effort

If you’re talking about North American political leaders, they really can’t. LKY had a lot more power than anyone can have in most countries political systems. If you’re talking about political leaders in growing countries, a lot do take inspiration from him. Singapore had a lot of qualities to benefit from at the time that other countries don’t, though.
