I don’t. If you’ve ever worked in customer service you realize majority of issues are user error where the user isn’t bright enough to see their obvious error. Combine that with the hate cult that follows musk around and such a database wou

Let’s be real, the poorest are only not suffering as it is because of all the marvels of the industrialization onward It’s somewhat ironic to say that we need to stop the systems which have helped so many poor people so that we don’t cause

The Earth has many systems which help maintain a balance. It’s happened many times in the past Perhaps whatever is happening now is too extreme for it to do that, but it seems unlikely. The ecosystems of the planet share many deep symbioses

It’s honestly difficult being on this site some days the way people are such consumers No, I really don’t want “ a better product ”. I don’t want to be “ sold ” anything. I made the choice long ago just to not invest in garbage media. It wa

They’re not struggling to keep the lights on. They’re making a calculated bet they can extract more profit this way.

This comment is full of unawareness Television WAS terrible. I have many older relatives who are basically zombies whenever one is on. It has crippled their ability to critically think, it indoctrinates them, and leads to numerous health co

Excellent perspective, not only do the corps have unrealistic standards of evidence, but when they’re questioned by political leaders they outright lie. ex fb claimed they didn’t design their software to hack the dopamine/serotonin sys

Ok I support anti corporation but then how do talented artists make money? I don’t get this mentality and how it’s always taken to the extreme. Surely there’s some value to at least the artisan to be compensated for his creation?

I’ve always been fascinated by personality, and spent a decent amount of time in and out of school studying it. One thing that gets me about the way this author talks is it’s condescending. As though he’s an enlightened observer staring dow

“Ageism is real in our space. Older people are not slow, out of touch, or overly grumpy (to counter some common cliches)” Ageism is real. Also as people age their mental faculties decline. Plenty of “old” people (read: not actually that old

Anyone who thinks they can still grade and catch this use in clever students should not be evaluating There’s zero way that you’ll be able to detect a price wise use. Maybe the student asks it to write a report and then resummarizes it in t

Do you have any logical reason to not trust him or is it simply “I have a feeling” I don’t know I can’t say. But scientists in academia and in national labs are salesmen for themselves and their research too, so I think you’re possibly givi

I don’t think deniers are being replaced, this is a very odd perspective There are still plenty of people who are and who are becoming “deniers”. It’s not really hard to imagine given how much hyperbole comes from the climate “enthusiasts”

Not only that, but the 28 hours they work are probably some of the worst. Ex you’re driving uber. You’re going to be “incentivized” (read: forced due to logistics) to work rush hour and bar hours. So you’re maybe working 5-7 and 10-12 on we

“He is not educated as a scientist though so I usually take most of his stuff with a grain of salt.” As someone who was educated as a scientist, you should reevaluate this opinion. There are plenty of brilliant professional scientists. Ther

“The numbers are meaningless without a ton more context.” Just keep thinking in this direction and apply it to any and all hoops you make employees jump through. It’s the same with coding challenges, quizzes, and any other evaluation you gi

I do have ADHD and op is spot on. The software industry is filled to the brim with midwits who think their idea is the only right idea even though its nothing special and they’re ignoring actual problems As op said - when’s the last tim

Thank you for being a voice of righteousness in a sea of simps. It’s hard to tell on this site, are people really this devoted to corps or are they shills? Even with what you said there are still so many people defending this behavior. The

I find it fascinating that so many people here jump to the assumption that the average person doesn’t get that giving a 28% chance of victory doesn’t mean they can’t win Clearly. Its not a difficult concept. But those same people are wholly

I love how the popular vote is only ever mentioned when it’s to defend the idea that all these analyses “were actually right” You’re not getting it. The analysis, the “28%” - those were wring. those were poor analyses Yea they came back aft

Yea, cherry picking is an excellent way to claim you’re right when reality doesn’t agree Go back and get an aggregate sense of everything he said. Look at 90%+ if the articles he wrote saying what I said compared to the one or two that y’al

You’re being downvoted by people who don’t have a good argument against you To them Silver could have said Trump had a 1% chance of winning, and they would still be saying “yOu dOnT uNdErStaNd stAtIstIcS!!1” Basically, a lot of people reall

by beerpls 3y ago
Now that’s a funny one With a straight face you’re going to say that in 2016 you saw a bunch of polls coming out showing trump winning? Absolutely not. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gave him a snowflakes chance. Everyone including Silver menti

I really lost any semblance of respect for Silver after the 2016 election Analysis after analysis about how Hillary was a sure thing. It was an absolute echo chamber and the election completely lifted the curtain for me
