   This sounds like a false narrative designed to cover up the negative impact that the news of the password crackdown has caused

   This is amazing. Some types of industries should not operate under capitalism and research is probably one of those industries, at least for life-saving research.

   The problem with hierarchies like "regulators" is that there is never a bidirectional feedback loop. The people who are being regulated should also be able to negatively review poor regulators.

   Hoping the industry at large realizes it will be a much more difficult task than it seems to automate things completely. Sure, you can do 80% of it with AI automation, but how does the automation account for the new version of a programming

   I feel like lots of companies make this mistake of not valuing the customers over shareholders. This is a fatal mistake.

    Here's another thing to watch out for in startups. The one I was at was wonderful and then about 6 months in to my tenure, they hired a CIO without letting any of the employees interview this person. The CIO was a complete PoS, you cou

    People need to realize that every good thing the government steals is done through a war of attrition.

    Correct. Which is why I posed it in the form of a question.

    Can't be "cozy" on your own? Maybe the article explained it wrong? My god, please tone down your self-righteousness.

    Thanks for providing an example, that's what I was wondering about. I don't need to speak Dutch to make a valid argument, based on the synonymous examples already observed, that is a genetic fallacy. Yes, 95% number was contrived

    Okay, sounds like you're making a completely subjective assessment, based on your own preferences. Totally fine, but does not mean I'm wrong. One thing that would really help would be if there were a definitive case where it did

    Yeah it’s a different word but the meaning seems very close if it can be substituted in 95%+ of contexts. Curious to hear an example where it doesn’t fit.

    I’m so glad someone else was as shocked about this as I was. $80/hr is insanely high pay for content writing.

    I think you're conflating the reasoning of the ban to be against Asians, when in fact it's purely against China. Japanese car manufacturers have done absolutely nothing wrong.

    Tencent also has a very large stake in Reddit, I wonder if there's any plan to investigate influence operations there.

    I would love to explore Reddit's influence on this phenomenon. The timelines seem to sync somewhat and it seems like a perfect vehicle for adversarial nation states to use to influence public opinion.

    I think the uncanny valley sensation would go away if they tweaked the material settings in Unreal Engine. Like her lips don't look shiny enough to me and maybe there's some light bounce issues overall. But it's super close
