The interesting thing is, it is hard to tell which side you are talking about here. I've heard exactly the same thing from both the left and the right.

This. I've had conversations with PhD folks who are genuinely afraid Trump getting elected will mean their naturalized citizenships will be reversed and they'll be deported. I've had conversations with gay Americans who asked

Yes, I had the chance to meet him once because he invested in our company and paid a visit. He walked around the office and met folks, was warm and approachable even more so than our own executive team. Massively underrated guy.

As long as he's not leveraged, he will likely be fine. Intel will recover in time. May not be the best option, but it's not like he purchased calls expiring next week.

That isn't really true though. People are different and there is nothing wrong in acknowledging that. You can't say Von Neumann is fungible with Donald Trump.

The real scandal is that it is 2024 and people still don't understand how redaction works.

Most of these domains show power law like earnings. 13% making $100K or more is actually fairly healthy and way more than I expected. Also, given that many of these influencers are international, the dollar goes a lot more in many countries

I've seen a bunch of these from men but I've never seen such a diagram from a woman's perspective. Would be so interesting to see how different it is for them.

It absolutely can be, and can even go higher. Recently the Reserve Bank of India updated rules around what is considered security, many banks interpreted them to mean copy and paste into /any/ field is not allowed. Yes, you have t

For airlines and many other things you also have to consider the case that people might switch to even worse alternatives if the cost is too high. If airlines have to raise the prices too high for added safety features, people will switch t

Lying assumes that the AI knows the truth but is choosing not to tell it to you. It is possible that in situations where it is RLFHed to do so involving inconvenient truths this is the case, but otherwise it is just going off the statistics

Personally, given how much people have shared the ad, I would say it was a successful ad. I pretty much try to avoid all ads, and rarely remember any, but this one came in my twitter feed at least 50 times if not more and all of these were

This isn't generally true, I am in the Boston area and only the Main branch is anything like this, all the tens of other libraries are safe places where a kid would be fine for hours.

A feline can make a precise jump between two points and be utterly unable to explain how it computed the force signals to send to its legs to make the jump. It probably doesn't even know force or muscles. Formal training isn't eve

In one of the success stories of startups the founder's explicit message was 'Let some fires burn'. The fires were people complaining to customer support. The point was you can move faster if you don't bother about resol
