surprised people are so willing to accept these claims without proof, especially here, where I imagine the number of people who could actually do the work this person claimed to is disproportionately high

I have never had counterfeit issues on amazon and always find these threads bewildering. I buy almost everything I can't get from my local grocery store from them. I can't tell whether I'm improbably lucky or if I'm part

Yeah as uncomfortable as it is to say, you have to put some blame on the 20yo with no income who decided to play with financial instruments beyond his knowledge.. There's a broader tension here with the _perils_ of democratization and

I also strongly believe that the cause is the former - centuries of institutionalized persecution, a vicious cycle of poverty, etc. Why not respond with that? I can understand it being frustrating but we can't just shut off discussion

not _directly_ related, but one interesting thing my coworker has been working on is visualizing ML models using graphs, which has made them much more interpretable for business stakeholders. Being able to break the model down into steps, f

but this is _not_ just a distribution problem like you seem to be implying. Yes, digital solves distribution, so we are post-scarcity in that sense, but someone also needs to put in the intellectual labor to write a book in the first place.

not only is this unrelated, the whole justification for the concentration camps to begin with was uyghur terrorist attacks. i cant defend the concentration camps, of course, but "peaceful" just seems disingenuous

eh. And there are many more well-educated middle class Chinese who generally believe in the ideas behind the CCP. Maybe not the implementation details - this policy, for example, is boneheaded and will disproportionately affect the middle c

5 and 6 are bizarre; not only do they read like action thrillers, they almost seem to contradict the whole message behind the Golden Path. The series should absolutely have ended with God Emperor (my personal favorite, followed by the origi

these viewpoints are just so incredibly callous. This naming convention is contributing to real persecution against real people. That's all the justification anyone needs to change. Who cares what the convention used to be?

I like to think I can stand the cold relatively well, but what always gets me is my ears. The rest of my body will be fine but my ears start hurting in minutes, which then translates into quite the headache.

im not sure "steel age" is a common term, but I agree with the idea. the (second) industrial revolution was spurred by availability of steel anyway, you can take it further. the information age we are in is arguably characterized

Great car ownership point. I love Costco and I grew up going there, but I don't own a car so going is infeasible. Instead I end up using a mix of local grocery stores and Amazon delivery. OTOH I'm certainly not noticing any widesp
