But perhaps the wildest example of this trend is Baby’s Day Out, the 1994 comedy in which Joe Mantegna tries to kidnap an infant, with near-fatal results.

That's because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

Automating anything blindly carries the risk of unending buckets of water or a universe of paperclips.

Nutty -- I was just chewing on that similarity myself.

The CAD program with one level of Undo, an unreliable Revert option, and active hostility toward incremental saves.

I don't know the first thing about CAD, but lmao.

Respectfully, Defector is about the furthest thing from a spam blog that you'll find on the internet, my dude/lady.

It was formed a few years back by writers fleeing the sinking ship that was Deadspin.

I'd encourage you to check out some of their other articles and judge for yourself.

Hi there! I'm you. My first computer was a TRS-80 in the early 80s, and my daily driver today is Debian (a flavor of Linux). I'm not an IT person, but I've had some skin in the game for a while.

You won't need to purchase a thing unless you have some weird/old hardware where drivers will be a challenge.

There are a million flavors ("distros") of Linux. The most straightforward ones to start with are probably Ubuntu and Mint.

Most Linux distros have a "live CD" version that you can "install" on a thumb drive. That allows you to take the entire OS for a test spin without changing anything on your "main" computer.

Great growth so far. How does this compare to Reddit?

In 2020 their year-over-year growth was around 50%, or roughly 4% per month. (source)

Serious question, what are we looking at and/or being mildly infuriated about here?
