I think the most obvious answer to this is that understanding the world perfectly is impossible (for an individiual human in a finite lifespan), and so in reality we use a whole slew of hacks and simplifications. Things fall to the ground a

Perhaps those least likely to take the vaccine are most likely to claim fake qualifications?

by Traster 5y ago
The survey this report is based on asked if you would take the vaccine today. Your point about being forced is irrelevant to this question. What it’s finding is people with phds aren’t making that argument - they don’t want to take it the

At my old company it was a bit of a joke, you would repeatedly see shit managers become "architect"s. Management were too cowardly to get rid of bad managers, so they were forced to promote them to get them out of their role. So m

I'm not sure you're right, what they're saying is the low status individuals are cargo culting high status individuals.

by Traster 5y ago
The only criticism I would have of this article is that it misses the underlying issue. There was never a reason for high status individuals to be on clubhouse, the reason they were there has nothing to do with the pandemic - it was because

That would be a reasonable argument against accepting the extradition on the basis of those assurances, but not a reasonable argument against at least hearing the assurances - which is what the appeal will do.

A small emergency savings account isn't there to insulate you against a sovereign debt crisis. It's there to insulate you if you lose your job and need a few months to pay your mortgage while you find a new one.

I agree that we're never going to totally irradicate this, but the UK government has consistently opened up too much, too quickly and then responded to the wave of new cases too slowly. The goal of the lock downs wasn't just to pr

I think it's important to remember that this isn't a gamble. It's not like the UK government made some super smart carefully timed decision to relax restrictions. In March 2020 he locked down for 12 weeks, then in April he ex

Jigsaw identification literally isn't a charge in law, he was in conempt of court. It's not that jigsaw identification isn't a term that exists, it's that, as with all gish galloping you've taken some random item an

This is such a great article because it takes an existing genre (Lifestyle coach) and actually does what they're meant to be doing. There are all those people on social media who spend their entire time performatively having a good tim

They’re absolutely not claiming Murray did something exceptional- that has nothing to do with whether he broke the law. Also let’s drop this stuff about jigsaw identification- the judgement literally says some information was so unique as t

It’s illegal to publish information identifying the accusers it’s not illegal to figure out who the accusers were. There is no double standard. Again, reading from the judgement, the other journalists follow a code of conduct that even Murr

You don't think it's funny that he escaped legal liability because the court came to the conclusion that what he wrote was so mis-representative that it couldn't be considered an actual breach? I personally thinks that both f

by Traster 5y ago
I'd recommend people actually look at the ruling, becuase it goes straight against some of the talking points from Murray and his friends, and in some cases is pretty funny.[1] For example on page 17, the judge concludes that Murray di

The simple answer is that what Craig Murray was reporting about Assange was massively overblown conspiracies about every single element of the trial. The reason other reporters weren't covering to the same level of detail because &quot

This is covered by standard journalists all the time - Linus (from LTT) talks about this all the time. Of course manufacturers give samples to test, but that's table stakes, there is absolutely not an expectation of specific positive c

I don't think there is little incentive for anyone to curate a list of best bikes for under $500. There are plenty of incentives for journalism publications like MCN (motorcycle news) to do reviews of the products in the sectors they c

The astronauts were all chosen because they had a set of skills and experience that were actually relevant to the task of going to space. These guys were selected on the basis of their ability to sell books.

I can't actually beleive people in this thread are downplaying someone travelling to North Korea to explain to them how to evade economic sancations. This is literally confirming all the worst things people say about crypto-currencies.

I bet the post-mortem for this is going to be fun. How this wasn't covered by multiple unit tests, a code review and a roll out strategy is.... impressive.

I think shared equity is one way of solving that problem, but if you look at other social democracies, regulatory regimes that favour workers and collective action can have similar effects.

I don't think it's productive to talk about tax. Our economy should be designed in a way that workers capture a good proportion of their work. The problem at the moment is that when there are successful companies, a handful of inv
