I'm glad to see this framing. Reading the provisions identified in the article, you could easily react by saying "well, that's normal." Of course a parking app would ask for your vehicle's make/model and for

Keep in mind the article is about dealing with evasion. You seem to be assuming that "I don't know" is being seen as evasive, but it's really being assumed because that's what the article is about. Also, deposit

I'm curious what you think a better question would be, given that in the example, the witness could in fact have said from the outset "I didn't measure, but at least 5 feet, say the distance between you and me, and closer t

It doesn't matter why you're doing it. Whether you're deliberately evasive or not, you're not stating facts that answer the question. The purpose of a deposition is to develop a record about the facts the witness can s

In general, in this setting, yes. The English (and thereby American) legal traditions assume a right "to every man's evidence" and depositions are taken under oath. An actual perjury charge is extremely unlikely, but the judg

I'm not sure what your comment has to do with the article, which is about depositions in a civil suit.

Self-reporting seems to be fairly accurate for narcissism: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Learned something! Thanks for sharing. By the way, "flew" is the past tense of "fly." But many Muslims likely fled to Northern Africa (the past tense of "flee").

You say "empty", but each of the listed uses links to a project as evidence, and the claim is followed up with specific evidence about small binaries, fast compile times, native performance, multiplatform targeting, etc. Given all

It isn't one or the other! This guy could have committed fraud and been effectively abetted by a regulatory body that lacks the resources, incentives, or power to actually regulate.

Ironic that you identify (but don't evaluate) a possible flaw in mixing up correlation and causation, then turn around and refuse to even read something because of a bias that you simply assume.

The rule does apply. Also, it was a senior prank, which by definition involves breaking the rules.

The commenter meant that SSC was the subject of (i.e. an example of) the New York Times's predatory reporting.

The post mentions that guanine crystals are the same density as tetrachloroethylene liquid, so the crystals never settle to the bottom.

Of course they have an option! They can follow the law, not fire their workers for making their own choices about (non)representation, and just not get the tax credit. Saying that Tesla would be forced to do anything here is absurd. I&#x2

They can invite workers to unionize and facilitate that with education, obviously. They could even share some of that $15,000 tax credit directly with workers! Or maybe I'm wrong, and Tesla is just going to have to reap what it sowed i

But that's not what anyone was saying. You're making up an easier position to defend. What about the claim that was actually made in the article? > target misleading messages based on material stolen in the Russian hack of De

Not at all convinced. It takes a lot of work to organize a workplace, and a lot of people are skeptical of unions—for some good reasons, and some bad ones. I don't see anyone interpreting things as "forcing workers to unionize&quo

by GavinMcG 5y ago
That's fair! But you know your workplace and you know what a union could look like. The union I was in paid a little bit to a national parent union, and got a lot more than we paid for when it came to legal representation in a contract

by GavinMcG 5y ago
Most employees aren't even aware of what a union is or does. When something isn't part of your experience, you don't even have a preference one way or another. Your comment is evidence: it sets up a false dichotomy. The whole

Not illegally firing them for trying to unionize would have put them on the right track. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/25/business/musk-labor-board...

No one is excluded. Like all tax deductions/credits, this one incentivizes a goal decided on by the legislature. One major purpose of government is realigning incentives. If this makes it cheap enough, Tesla will likely use union labor

The "popular myth" is sourced to both independent security firms and multiple U.S. intelligence agencies, and isn't a partisan issue: https://www.wired.com/2017/03/marco-rubio-says-hack-attempts...

And it does. It just doesn't mean that one company can suddenly afford to be an insurer of tens of thousands of drivers.

Bringing up privilege is important because someone who is aware of it can cut off this sort of mistake before they make them. We indeed agree that user research is good. So I'd imagine we agree that it's good to think "I shou

We're not talking about cancer. We're talking about things that involve human psychology and behavior. Privilege is why they didn't do "better user research": the person making the proposal doesn't even consi
