I've been noticing an increasing trend of people saying things like this, and I don't get it. Meditation has many forms and traditions, within and without Buddhism. Which ones are "safe" and which ones aren't? Is us

Interesting, this is not what I've heard, but my sources are obviously secondhand. I'll update my priors in that direction, although it makes whatever Google is doing make even less sense to me.

I don't think there needs to be a conspiracy. From what I've read about Google (I have never and will never work there), ICs are incentivized to build and ship new stuff, even if it isn't successful, so Google ends up buildin

So you don't have proof, just more ad hominem and appeals to authority.

Sure, but if there are n interviewers, I get to waste n minutes of the company's time for each minute of my own wasted. For some panel interviews I've been in, this can be a significant multiplier that makes it worth it even if sp

You are correct about the letter of the law. The Supreme Court disagreed in Citizens United v. FEC and ruled that the government cannot restrain corporations from making independent expenditures for political campaigns. It definitely applie

I'm talking about specific statements that claim things that end up being entirely false. His claims about Tesla full self-driving and taking Tesla private in 2018 are pie-in-face obvious lies Musk has told, but there are any other num

Probably because "just like he always does", he is probably lying. He lies quite a lot about his business intentions and reasoning. It's not surprising that people don't trust him and wonder what the real reason is, sinc

The person in the US can find another job. The person in jail doesn't have such luxuries. Also, when the woke people take over your government, there's no bright line rule that says, "You can't put people in jail for spe

Queueing up IS contributing something back - it's a multiplayer game, so every person playing is helping keep queue times low. It also gives Riot a MAU and DAU which they probably track internally to determine how successful a game is

Everyone keeps citing this year's budget, which was imposed on Austin by the state government after the police budget was cut by 1/3rd in 2020. Austin DID defund the police, but was forced to refund the police.

Okay, but still. It seems like a stretch that the guy is secretly evil but voluntarily gave up almost $1 billion to deceptively prove he's not actually a bad guy. You can claim to be a good guy and wait a few months to cash out - leavi
