We arn't friends - at best everyone here are strangers attending a conference where there are 4-5 competing views and barely concealed contempt. That said, you f'ing matter and you deserve to be friends with people. You can do it

Most "sales promotions" in the 90's were little more than fraud. Most of us remember the period where almost everything in computer stores were "free after rebate." "Emachine 1997 model FREE AFTER REBATE"

Noone is out to get you. The world is not trying to "FUD" their way to your own demise. Its just... noone wants to hear people hawking their pedo pesos constantly and how "WEB3 (powered by pedo pesos) will help us all!"

Thats not exactly how pendulums swing. Think about how far we have swung in one direction. Its going the same distance in the other. May god help us.

I think your skepticism here is good and smart. I had the same. Anyone who relies only on self-reported issues has the ability to have general axienty increases cause 'covid associated' behaviors. That said, neurological covers

That makes it easier, at least, in the US. P2P platforms and those who violate copyright are routinely shut down (or attempt to be shut down) in the US. If co-pilot sits in that same space, it seems the books been written already... we kno

I disagree with your statement about ai being an independent behavior. Suppose we add a button to a visual studio plugin called 'Copy me a function' and when you click it, it 100% grabs some random code from github and plops it as

I don't think your attitude is necessarily a wrong one, I think you are misunderstanding Amazon. The place is a literal cult. In every meeting, no matter how short, you hear people argue not points but leadership principles. "We

Good. Germany was facing a cold winter, without energy for heating, and the potential for rolling blackouts. With this change, it does not eliminate the threat but makes it less likely. Who in their right mind would decom any type of energ

To those who espouse the idea that comments should be filtered for the greater good, I say 'You first.' There was a time period when the left was for free speech and the right was wanting to constrain it. Maybe its just a giant p

Or, alternatively, if this is actually legal. Congress holds the powers of the purse and this is an executive order by a president a few weeks away from midterm elections. This is going to be litigated.

What is your stance on "canceling" mortgage and credit card debt? Like college debt, it was taken on willingly and its hard to argue that consumers having more money to spend won't drive economic growth.

The government isnt providing assistance. This is transferring debt people willingly took on to get a college degree, to people who did not go to college. Look, I am not trying to be rude and I am trying to be gentle when I ask this: Where

You must have assumed I was against it - I am not sure why. I am just pointing out that there is no forgiveness, the education expenses incurred by college graduates is now being paid by blue collar workers, and its the most regressive tax

There is no such thing as forgiveness for loans - its always paid by someone. This is, in essence, transferring the debt from people who graduated college to people who - on average - did not go to college. The most regressive invisible ta

You are publicly bragging about using sexism as part of your hiring criteria. You are adding points to women, or inversely taking away points from men, by pure nature of them being men or women. You are then hiring based on that. You unde

I think your statement is the issue. If you have two equally qualified candidates - one anglo saxan male from boston, and one african american female from georgia - at many places, one is going to be consistently chosen. I agree - that is a

What is up with the 'custom coffee brands' that seem to be pushed nonstop the last 6 months? It seems like every youtuber that I watch now has their own coffee brand that they ask you to buy. Heck - a vtuber rabbit was pushing th

A human falling is a lot of energy. Energy has to go somewhere. Either the foam will compress, or it won't compress and the energy will 'dissipate' in the human body. In this case, we had foam that appeared non-compressable

That "foam pit" looks crazy to me. Sharp angled firm blocks that do not appear to have much give (see the video linked from @rurban). This feels like a case where having this 'foam pit' may be more dangerous than not ha

I think you are arguing against something I didn't state - or maybe you replied to the wrong comment. My statement, backed by papers, is that puberty blockers given to older children and younger teens has a negative impact on fertilit

Regarding puberty blockers, I think the impact is a bit stronger than you have been made aware of. From Nature - affects fertility in both boys and girls treated in early adolescence: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4
