I see the way US cities are designed, with sprawling suburbs and lack of shared spaces as a key contributor. Where I'm at the parks are filled with people throughout the day. The density of the city also means people tend to know their neighbors and watch out for each other much more that I've seen in the burbs.

This is quote nice.

One of the things I've always liked about imgur is the ability to paste images from the clipboard as well as drag and drop onto the page.

And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home. I suppose this is different, since I'd wager it'll end up being used primarily by for-profit projects.

Software developer turned high school CS teacher turned developer. I've been with a small Taipei startup working on a Node Express backend (TypeScript, Postgres with Kysely) for the last year and am looking for a change. Something at the intersection of tech and education would be desirable, but not required.

The idea that not having kids is a selfish act is ridiculous and needs to end.

I like this simple solution, but it makes it difficult to see all your clothes and which article you want.

The reality of the Catholic Church and its history is far and away divorced from the teachings of Jesus. Like the OP, I was also raised in a devout Catholic household, and while, yes, there is plenty of talk of love, there is, and traditionally has been plenty of fear-mongering.

You need to constantly be on the look out for Satan and his temptations. There's a laundry list of things you shouldn't do or think about. If you do, you should feel guilty and repent. God is always watching, so be good.

Every individual church is different, and your mileage will vary, but I found them to be similar to office spaces in the level of bickering and gossip as their best, and deeply dysfunctional institutions at worse.

I would also disagree that Christianity was the first major religion of purely love when Buddhism had been around for centuries and had the practice of forsaking one's own enlightenment in order to save all being from suffering.

I think everything you said just pointed out how bad it really is in the field. You either have an acronym, which people assume you know, or nonsense words.

Boring descriptive names are better, but don't look as good when marketing the product (I'd assume).

This is not true. While the content may initially be auto-generated, the Google KG is worked on extensively by real people. There are regional teams which work to verify and source the information that is out there. My sister works on the traditional Chinese team (mostly out of Taiwan or Taiwanese ABCs). These teams, as far as I know, are WFH contract workers.
