Yeah! There's nothing quite like watching fake people on fake weather broadcasts presenting weather just for me. One day we'll wonder why we ever used humans for anything.

Are you suggesting what Trump and Biden did are the same thing?

I work in academia. There is no way anything is so organized and directed as that. That would require laughable levels of efficiency and planning across multiple organizational layers. Do you know how long it takes to make literally any dec

judging potential is an easy thing to do. anyone who works with a trainee for a month can be a fantastic judge of their potential. the problem is, as you allude to, a lack of funding and of jobs

It is challenging and expensive to get a driver's license in Germany, and the repercussions for screwing up are high. Also driving isn't as necessary--the excellent public transit means there are alternate means of traveling, so n

Small mom and pop toy stores have replaced the big box toy stores of yesteryear, quite successfully I would say (at least in our area)

No way. I have no problem paying. I don't even mind the price. When I signed up last time I chose the monthly option because thats what I was used to for nearly every subscription. I didn't do the math to notice it matched the pri

It is a misunderstanding because Adobe deliberately obfuscates that fact when you purchase such a plan

That argument works both ways. You can also source your own water if you don't want municipal water.

>Paying money to make the problem go away instead of learning how to fix it yourself means that, at scale, you lose the ability to fix it yourself. This is very insightful and, in my mind, a good preview of what is happening with AI righ

I understand your question, and it is hard to describe. Our brains are pattern generators, and it "feels good" to resonate with patterns we've already experienced. Neural circuits create patterns by strengthening connections

You know what's so interesting? If I had known he was going to threaten tariffs, I might have considered shorting a lot of stocks. And well, if I knew he was going to then quickly walk them back the next day, I probably would have boug

Do you work at the CDC? Can you share your sources for this? We (the general public) know absolutely nothing about why these pages were removed. All we can say definitively is that they are gone. And spit out baseless speculation too of cou

For those wondering why this exists: many of the pages that were formerly listed on the CDC website have been disappearing, likely in response to recent executive orders, though this has not been made explicit. As an example, I checked the

Knowing the word exists is a different thing than using it in daily speech. I, and I'm sure most people, would be very surprised to hear there are populations of the USA where "gaol" is used regularly.

You're still not making sense. Who is "they" here, USAID? What does your second sentence even mean? How "news organizations [are funded]"? I'm seriously unclear what you are trying to say.

He is going to cost way more in damage dealt than he will save. The goal is not to save money and only fools would think that it is.

I don't understand how your comment is relevant. It feels like word salad and does not appear to logically follow the PC. What is "truth to power"? Did those ex-intelligence officers survive the Musk purge? How does this all

Many journals use a separate summary statement which describes the findings and significance in more ordinary terms (eLife is a good example). An abstract has a specific purpose and it is not quite meant for a public audience. It can also v

Yeah, more instances of having to pay for things twice sounds amazing. But why stop at twice? Maybe we could pay for things three times, even.

Honestly, I will never pay for a weather service. If I have to keep an umbrella in my bag, so be it. If it means an unexpected snow day, oh well. Other services that depend upon weather will pass those fees down to me anyway, no reason to p

If you get used to it for some cases, it becomes harder to remember in instances that do not autosave! Just my opinion though.

There are audits, and lying can result in fines. But yes, as with most regulations businesses are expected to follow them but they can not follow them at the risk of repercussions.

IMO, that is encouraging a very bad habit.

This is representative of the dichotomy we face within society, in that we rarely associate with people who have different opinions than us, even when we think that we do regularly. It is the paradox of our social circles that overlap but n

I'm not sure I follow you. It sounds like you expect to receive from every instance, and in turn expect all to receive from yours? I don't see the appeal; it sounds like it would devolve into white noise
