This has historically shown to not be the case. In the modern era, there's rarely any value in a raw idea, but how it affects those who observe it (mainly can it drive them to buy toys). It's been pretty consistently shown people

Statistican used to be kinda insane wizard figures in a lot of hospitals. Because thinking hard about statistics literally requires you to think really hard about unknowns and simplifying/modeling the entire world using equations. But

We're unfortunately probably beyond the point of any new copypastas being created. Most of those were created on the "old Internet", where things were pretty small, chaotic, and decentralized. Nowadays, all engagement is prim

That'd cost shareholders potential revenue. There's no chance of any action that isn't prying it from the hands of those in charge of the company's bottom line

That sounds so convoluted and would never actually be used by regular users as long as more intense options exist (see Mastodon). I'm not sure why it needs to be a right to waste time consuming information about random celebrates and p

It's just the better choose to wait it out, even if you get divorced, fired, etc. It's the more optimal financial play to treat housing as an asset, and because the US has proven historical to have a wildly fluctuating housing mar

The Amish kinda slap, they didn't invent addictive social media, put a game show host in charge of nuclear weapons, or have a bunch of corporations change their icons to rainbow icons while still being shitty. They literally realized 3

There are quite a number, but our primary mechanism for sharing ideas and information are incredibly pro-conglomerate (most large media organizations are the result of decades of mergers). Those in power heavily studied the anti-trust actio

If all of humanity does get wiped out by climate change, it will be kinda comforting to know that we were basically just smart apes the entire time. Like, we had decades of evidence we were going to all kill ourselves and did nothing, that

Damn, the top comment on the article is about how you need to lie in tech interviews. How far have we fallen if we don't even have enough dignity to walk away from garbage tier companies who can't even put any real effort into hir

Based on my read of the article, this just means ads will be surrounding the chat bots, not included within them, which I feel like we all expected given these are products from companies who make shit loads of money selling advertising

If people have genuine use cases (or even simply have a preferred remembered experience experience for how something complicated works like an elderly person) I see no reason why they "should" upgrade, and why instead we shouldn&#

It's really just amusing that we've spent millions of dollars of fossil fuel and man hours training a toy that's really no better than a petulant child with no better logic

Good luck to all the future PIP/layoff recipients. If you are one of the employees who just got their first subpar review, I hope you know that it was unavoidable and a business decision to do so, that has nothing to do with your actua

Yeah, but the train operator "union" is the only one concerned about these factors, and our current cultural beliefs is that union's are greedy, therefore there must not be any train derailments. It's why Fox, NBC, and C

I think the main thing is Uber has never presented a viable business plan. It's always been showing numbers based on subsidized rides, and is almost a house of cards. If they had started small, grew organically and had always maintai

I mean, not using bills isn't really a practical solution. Legally dissolving the Fed or making a committee with only the instruction to print money would be better.

Complaining about the abborant behaviors of individuals belies the actual problem. Even if the FED were all on their "best behavior" we'd still be in a very bad position from the weird mixing of business and government.

We have no evidence either way. And referring to someone who's weirdly in favor of a multi billion dollar corporate opposed to the rights of individuals at least an agent of that group seems appropriate verbage

I think it's almost unfathomable for us to imagine how far we are from a "traditional" homosapien life. I read a book called "Hunt, Gather, Parent" where they describe the life of multiple 'less developed'

I'm not replying in bad faith. It is very obvious that capitalism has always been with us and always will be. If you observe birds long enough, you'll start to see them exchange tokens with each other, but results like that rarely

Yeah, it's fairly obvious from the fossil records that all humans were using cash back in the tribal nomadic days hundreds of thousands of years ago. There literally has never been any other ways humans have organized other than wage l

It's actually pretty easy to break out of, historically two party democracies aren't very common. Just need a war or revolution. Now breaking it out of it without majorly messing up things for a lot of the populace, that's a

The thing is most facts will never be "checkable" because the world we exist in is simply too complicated to be fully enumerated. You basically require a simulated mind to even begin to grasp the nuances of fact vs perspective v

I feel deeply distributed by the modern Christian community's very un-Christ focus on "exclusion". The notion that the divine word does not support itself and we need the approval of "the tech community" is deeply o
