If you were going to try to exonerate these activities, I would compare it with the widespread practice of grad students conducting amateur brain surgery on monkeys at most major American Universities (where do you think all these people at

This honestly feels like a good step. I see a lot of comments here lamenting potential regulatory overreach and while that is definitely a risk there are also a lot of people calling for regulations on AI and LLMs. There are credible risks

Pressuring employees to party is putting it lightly. This sounds like I vert sexual harassment followed up by retaliation. An employee received unwanted physical touches, and a proposition for physical intimacy and was fired less than 3 mon

Sorry but I have to take a strong disagreement with the claim that anyone has just as much of a right to live in America. Maybe in some highly abstracted form you could say that is America is just job opportunity but for those of us who wer

Yes but it was set in ~1990 and never adjusted for inflation. It is still about $60,000 a year which was a lot of money 30 years ago. The program was intended to enable companies to hire people with unique skills that are unavailable anywhe

Ron Fricke is person who made Koyaanisqatsi the beautiful visual journey that it is. I would recommend watching any of his other works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Fricke (FWIW, Powaqqatsi is also pretty good, bu

You are giving very charitable interpretation to someone who was clearly withholding the full security deposit for two months past the due in flagrant violation of the law and common sense. He didn't even fully comply with the law when

Stealing deposits is such a scumbag crime. Typically stealing $3000 from someone is considered a serious felony but for landlords it is common practice. For anyone reading this, I would highly recommend your ex-landlord them to small claim

The cost of not making at attempt is regret which can be expensive. The objections to “follow your dream” that people have mentioned are real. The basic “follow your dreams” advice should be tempered with realism and a sense of when to shif

This is great. Something that always upset me is seeing people spend huge amounts of money building IoT products when an old phone would be better and cheaper. The waste is especially galling when it is done by a company that makes its mone

There is more to life than a paycheck. Historically professors made unimpressive salaries but enough to live at a quality middle class level. When you consider the prestige, respect and job security that was afforded to professors it makes

It can save time but not always. An overzealous pm can really burn a lot of people’s time by over scheduling. The extra cost of setting up a meeting discourages pointless checkins and recurring meetings. I personally like being able to quic

These objections all seem to be objections to the community having the ability to make autonomous decisions that you don’t personally agree with. Democratic organizations are messy but the opposite has its own downsides.

There is a common refrain that anyone who wants to be in elected office should not be elected. There is a profound truth that people who want power should be kept in check. Having a bunch of people who really want to teach be shackled with

This is useful advice but, the frustration is warranted if a user needs to modify a sub-sub-sub menu to undo a default that is not even grammatically correct.

This strikes me as a rather callous lack of empathy. Personally, I find the mosquito whine of drones to be really annoying - especially when I am trying to enjoy the peace and serenity of a natural environment. There is nothing more obnoxio

Applying the heuristics of physical interaction to online interaction is usually fraught with issues. But if we are taking the physical analogy, as a model for online interaction then I would point out that people have a range of options be

12,000 Googler’s fired this year and somehow the Googler with the lowest skills/bills ratio remains. At least he took full responsibility for his failures as a leader while handing out pink slips.

You're trying to frame this about college degree vs none. I'm sure that's a valid point and a college degree has value, but that's not relevant if we are talking about a degree in CS vs a degree in EE/Math/Phys

It's a modified IQ test filtered through the transfer function of having a CS degree. A big part of the shade that this practice gets is from people with backgrounds that are CS adjacent who are highly intelligent, can do math at a uni

The Espionage Act has been on the books for a century now and it was definitely used to punish dissidents. In some sense nothing new. But don’t be naive. There are plenty of countries waging various forms of attack against America at all ti
