His policies were terrible. He broke off several key international treaties. He instituted the family separation policy. He broke down federal institutions that could have helped fight COVID. In what way was he better…
There have been significant changes in culture and (at least perceived) job stability in the past two years specifically. See the significant layoffs in early 2023 and the surprising and completely unnecessary layoffs…
Tesla's stock probably shouldn't be taken seriously.
I understand your perspective, but I'm going to disagree with what I think you mean, which is that /only/ parents should be responsible for their kids, and that nobody else should have to do anything at all for them. I…
I think some of the blame towards Texas is due to many of their politicians denying that climate change exists. Texas is a major oil producer, and is on the higher end of CO2 emissions per capita. They should probably…
I have observed the same thing w.r.t the people who always seem to lead "new city" projects. I think there's a lot of elite projection when a billionaire seeks funding from other billionaires. These guys ride in limos…
It's a defensive reaction to the fact the US has vague, crappy, outdated laws about everything. Litigation is needed absolutely everywhere because every situation falls through the cracks of the law, which obviously…
VAT has other benefits though that would fix a lot of weirdness that traditional sales tax has. Taxing the value added makes a lot more sense than taxing the "sale", IMO. It distributes the tax fairly among all…
I think the question is more why should an individual's salary be private? Personally, I think money is power, and I want to know about power disparities to better protect myself. But I understand there are factors to…
I think the idea is those roads and sewers have the same capacity downtown whether next to an apartment building or a surface-level parking lot. There will be the same number of lanes, street lamps, sidewalks, etc. I…
There's a necessity in society for some form of advertising. People and businesses want to communicate what products and services are available. If a random person wants the ability to start their own business, they're…
People get way too hung up on what current copyright law is and whether it supports or condemns LLMs trained on copyrighted material. IMO, who cares what the current law is? Existing laws were made for past technologies…
Capitalism doesn't have to be concerned with power for it to result in those with capital holding the most power. 'Rights' that are only available to those with capital aren't really rights at all.
In defense of your job, make sure you are constantly communicating how much uptime / how stable / reliable your services are. One reason why the people with lots of downtime are hailed as "heroes" is because they get…

I've seen that too. IMO, neither "direction" is what matters here. Both cases are failures to apply justice appropriately. It's tiring that efforts to reform always seem to be led by people who are either "tough" or…
I'd say the valuation is related to its services in that Apple's good reputation is based on consistent services. But it's certainly not proportional. Number goes up because everyone who sells demands to make a profit,…
Pushing cases into the future was always the stated goal of lockdowns. That was what "flatten the curve" meant. The idea was to accept some temporary consequences in order to prevent deaths until vaccines could be made.…
I am being serious. I have a very low tolerance for conspiracy theories touted as facts.
"Some sources have suggested that Murray's experiments were part of Project MKUltra" doesn't really seem like strong evidence.
The ultra rich have orders of magnitude more influence over politics, regulation, and private business than the average western citizen, so I would think that focusing on the ultra rich in one way or another should…
The actual title is "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights", so of course it isn't codified yet. If these principles go against current data practices, IMO that seems like all the more reason to push for this to happen.
This is assuming that layoffs affect the correct group of people, in which case the obvious question is why couldn't those people be informed earlier and been given a choice to find a different position or to improve…
> What. Employees can quit, which is synonymous to firing the boss. I disagree, quitting is not synonymous with firing the boss. When you leave, the company and your boss retain everything you built. You forfeit your…
It's hard to consider other means, such as busses, when low-occupancy vehicles are causing traffic on every road the bus would use. This problem does not solve itself.
