You can prepay domains for pretty far into the future (like 10 years at least.)

They'd probably present it differently from human answers.

If people really want to be careless they can get AI generated code from copilot or chatgpt on their own already, I don't think this would be worse than that.

Heh. After a couple years of normal conservatives being told their only place to go to voice complaints is 4chan you shouldn't be surprised that some of us took your advice and learned from the people there.

There used to be places for them but they were replaced with immigrants, women, automation and outsourcing.

/g/ is full of intelligent people who could easily do what I do every day at work and are still unemployed.

It's not a lack of skills. Getting a job (especially your first) is a lot of work. In some ways IMO it's more work than what you would be payed to do. Once you get payed what do you do with the money? You spend it to participate in society.

Except most of our social institutions are gone anyway. Marriage (the larger motivator) is practically symbolic at this point. All that's left are the hard economic ideas, so they can spend it to live in their own place and not deal with their mom. Even those aren't doing so well, look at home ownership or even renting. Is it worth it? Some say yes and get jobs, plenty say no.

We've restructured society so there's no place for these men even if they did find jobs, then on top of that we've brought in millions more men to ensure if that any niche that developed would be immediately filled. This is what people really mean when they complain about low wages or high inflation and it's not something that can be fixed by fiddling with the money supply.

I've been journaling for 11 years and I'm not going to stop any time soon despite the lack of a "like button" or analytics.

The way you get free of view counts is by not worrying about them.

The bar exam answer key can pass the bar exam, that doesn't mean that it would be a good lawyer.

Meh. If this were an issue people would have been doing it with IRC/Email 10-20 years ago.

Apple's graphical shell is called Finder unless they renamed it for some reason.

I've taught many people to program and can safely say python is an awful first language even for sighted users. Invisible characters being part of the syntax is awful.

Scheme IMO is the best for both sighted and blind people. There's very minimal syntax and I'd imagine a good editor with s-expression motions would make things much easier if you can't see.

One of my coworkers is blind and he's one of the best in the company.

DNS is a public database. Encrypting it is a bit silly anyway IMO. Certainly between the recursive and authoritative resolvers.

"Coding Adventure" is one I'd really like to emulate, I think he hits the sweet spot well.

If people can't choose who they socialize with they'd rather just not socialize.

Most of what you're seeing in the US is the result of one group pushing another group on a third group and the third group deciding that it's just not worth bothering.

Where I live they use large automatic arm that just puts the bin back down where it was before.
