Everything old is new again. Reminds me of patching apache 2.2 to properly support tunneling ssh over https with mod_proxy_connect and proxytunnel

Going through the superpowers spec-plan-implement-review cycle took one of my test runs (local AI) from 40 minutes to 8 hours, and produced a lower-quality result. I want to use something like that skill, but I'm doubting the efficacy of this one.

> It requires the chargers to coordinate among themselves to artificially slow themselves down

This alone would be a deal breaker for me - get home from work and plug-in to get ready for a long drive later that evening or the next morning only to find that the charging was slow and I wasn't fully charged? No thanks.

> half of the US is living in abject poverty

Anyone who believes this has absolutely no concept of what abject poverty looks like.

> an actual war against China, as if that were a reasonable scenario.

Most modern military planning considers it a foregone conclusion. Whether that's accurate or not is arguable, but approaching discussions of military spending from a perspective grounded in current planning is certainly reasonable.

I'm really frustrated by inflation numbers because there doesn't seem to be a metric that makes sense.

CPI ignores the reality people feel (and swaps in cheaper items that aren't necessarily on par with the original to keep the number lower), gold isn't really a 1:1 with purchasing power...there must be some sort of useful composite metric that merges multiple data points over time like rental/house prices, CPI market basket, dollar vs hard assets like gold to come up with a more accurate number.

> so the Democrats are interested in addressing it

They're not any more interested in addressing it than the existing administration - it's just a talking point like everything else. Ammunition to get elected and then put away in a dark closet.

How are you going to know the appropriate pronoun on your first email to "[email protected]" or "[email protected]"? Are you going to send an email to ask their pronouns before you send the actual email?

> If I'm writing an email or a chat message, I will typically have to use a pronoun.

It's not that hard to just avoid it. I send emails to a lot of people I haven't spoken to and don't know their gender, so I write gender-neutral emails.

Same. The responses are consistently "but they only restrict bad speech"
