Honestly, I think this discussion won't go anywhere because you've taken this personally due to the time you've spent on getting your MBA. MBA also can't really be compared to Nursing, or really most other degrees. Nursi

A lot of folks don't realize that MBAification of companies does not have an immediate feedback loop. The entire point is that in the short term it does super well, with the costs being realized in the long term. Boeing's timeline

Yeah, pedantic attacks like this just end up trolling the conversation rather than helping it.

One of the reasons the current "Self Driving" cars kinda suck. Majority of the time you're just not doing anything, but still have to be 100% attentive.

This is why we have layers of security. This was one of the layers. It absolutely did not necessitate gathering up every single one at once.

No, it again wasn't. It was to __prevent genocide__, not to determine guilt of committing genocide. This is going to take years, and it's going to be ongoing into the future. It is not going to happen while an incident is happenin

No one was supporting Hamas. Again, read the initial message. (I'm just going to flag anyone who keeps actively misreading this at this point.)

When I was at Google, Google was systematically silencing Arabs and Palestinians. They had brought in a specific team to comb through memegen and silence any pro-Palestinian (literally pro the people, while anti Hamas) messaging. While I wa

ICJ was not asked to convict Israel of committing genocide. That was not in the initial ask. The ask was to force Israel to stop its military operation. The ICJ's provisional verdict was _actually pretty bad_ for Israel: "The afor

It is near impossible to have a poor country that isn't easy to bribe. EU and these companies know this too. Even if you say the responsibility is on these countries to ban them themselves, you know that's not going to happen due

Due to the difference in wealth, it is very easy to shift opinions in these types of situations. Providing a known-bad chemical that is just going to, at the end of the day, impact everyone in this world is just plain wrong.

It’s literally the problems of legacy systems! A junior engineer comes in, without really grasping the whole problem, and says rewrite it. That’s what this conservative argument is boiling down to. “This software is a critical piece of our

> Why should the EU fine 10% of Apple's global revenue when they're violating an EU-specific law? Shouldn't they just fine 10% of EU revenue? The precedent for global enforcement of rules has already been set by the US.

From what I’m reading, this is an unprecedented level of surveillance on students. We’re already in a mental health crisis for students. I do not think adding more surveillance is going to do good there. I may be wrong, but I hope the found
