What you US firstworlders and global 1-percenters seem to forget about your own history: your entire country was built by people who were so fanatical, Europe did not want them anymore so they left for the US to be crazy and zealous there.

And only the really gung-ho ride-or-die craziest ones made it to the west coast or far down south.
Your entire history is deeply religious. You are a deeply Christian nation, and for the most part this has served you extremely well.

Now you should ask yourself between basic western Christian values and Sharia, would you prefer sharia?

Closer to a timewise intersection of gen-X and Millenial, but yes.

You could ask e.g. the Sonos CEO how that is working out for him, release horrible software and losing customers.
Reality and results have the magical ability to balance and rectify what greed, or good intentions and regulations can not.

Let me preface this by saying in terms of policies, from a US perspective I would probably align with Bernie Sanders on many of the big topics, and from my own perspective your US allegedly-left really is not, Bernie being the closest thing you have. When given a choice, 8 or 9 out of ten times I would be in favor of strengthening worker rights and protections, as long as it does not enable lazy and bad people.

That being said, this Guardrails Alliance sounds unbelievably stupid. Like a club of candle makers opposing the invention of electric light and wanting that to be made into laws.

But I guess the people working for that alliance get to make bank for a while, they want to claw their pound of flesh before the gravy train is gone, hm?

..for all of that you need some pretty good understanding of fundamentals. Which vibecoding juniors wont have, and will have a hard time developing these skills and understanding.

You are witnessing the rise of the tech-shaman, my grey-bearded brother! The only ones who still understand what is actually going on and able to fix it on multiple levels.

Praise the Omnissiah and perform the holy rites of the power-cycle!!!

Remember, these are filthy greedy bean counters making these decisions. They are testing the waters and dropping dead weight, seeing how far they can go and how much they can nickel-and-dime you and how much they can demand in the job market they so heavily influence.

This could be a golden time for hiring talent by just NOT bullshitting people during interviews! Treat them with decency and do 2-3 rounds at absolute maximum, and you will be flooded with outstanding CVs.

And big tech will come crawling for talent sooner rather than later, when the bean-counters responsible for firing now have also been fired and the new managers find out they need some talent back.. because random-BS-generating LLMs have gone haywire.

Yea but have you considered how many filthy-greedy tech bro millionaires the LLM-bubble has produced??? Could the same bot-sitters have produced as many new gazillionaires, and an equal circular-investment bubble bordering on fraud??
I think not, so ha-HA!! Checkmate!

Back in reality, UK got neither of those things. They got violent, erosive illiterates who hate Western culture and values flooding their social systems AND their economy is tanking like a rock thrown off a cliff.

You forgot a crucial element: after at least twenty years passed, they then have to re-apply from scratch.

I doubt Europe would want the UK back with everything that is going on, with the current state of the UK and the mass enrichment and mass surveillance and all the violence and all the many other issues.

UK made their bed, let them sleep in it now, and be a glaring warning to the rest of Europe.
In a decade or two we can see what is left and if it is worth taking back.

FINALLY a more permanent b!chslap!!! The 90s are back, baby!

Their software is already bad enough, who in their right mind really actually buys their hardware??? Moral and ethics dilemma aside.

I had gotten handed some Surface device for an while and it was clunky and horrible and the entire concept was not thought through well. I am fine with either a tablet OR a nice thin laptop OR a desktop. Surface devices dont seem to be great in any of those regards.

What you are describing as a fault in the design is actually the intended use: prolong somewhat flowing traffic for as long as possible before a full congestion. I assume you would need a sufficiently long part of the highway to actually see an effect.

I catch myself fitting this study absolutely perfectly, but I am wondering if this is also somehow affected by being dominant left or right handed? Or your dominant eye?
