Did you or the responders read the article? This reads like an assumption that the article is about tech companies in the United States and their effects to combat election misinformation. It's not. The part about the United States s

It sounds quite spicy though, no? The thing I like about sriracha is I can use a lot of it. That sauce sounds like I'd only be able to use a couple of drops before the heat was too much to handle.

I'm just looking for some good stories, not something that describes a general framework for all wars.

Thank you. WWII-ish era definitely interests me.

I wish it were causal. I eat a ton of Sriracha.

I know nothing about this field, nor its criticisms. Can anyone point me to some good reading that describes the detailed strategy and nuances that led to wars being won or lost? Things like not planning for muddy terrain contributing to

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I started trying to skim it and couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. Granted, I didn’t give it a strong chance, but the title made it seem like something very different than what it is. I think.

This is a good comparison to bring up, because most people would not have any problem with the "Clinton had sex with aliens???" tabloids disappearing from the Walmart checkout aisles.

Since you and the OP are here, I have a random question: were the blizzards ever made with liquid plastic ingredients? It probably sounds insane, but someone from a plastics company spoke at my high school and said this was the case since i

Your first sentence is obviously ridiculous given the examples the poster gave. I don’t know what the second sentence even means.

Why would you use the market cap as a measure for large when we're discussing overvaluation? It seems like more fundamental measures (revenue, earnings, market share) would be more appropriate.

I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember the last time I read a full article without skimming, but this one hooked me. I watched a ton of Fresh Prince growing up. No clue how much it, or the rest of television, influenced me.

Perhaps people only read the title? I too found this really disjointed. The author says the whole thing is "extreme satire" in the header, but it doesn't read that way, so I found myself increasingly confused as I attempted

That's a great quote. I'll have to check that book out. Is it worth the read? I think about the psychology involved and our brains as part of the system far more often than I ever see it discussed.

This is a ridiculously defeatist attitude, and the quicker you can drop it the better off you'll be.

Perhaps we can find out what our personal scores are. That would help us figure out whether we support this or not.

Ha, I'm sure if this became widespread, you'd start seeing the opposite, where people only expect longform emails to come from humans.

I lost a lot of respect for krebs a while ago when he doxxed a minor. I haven't followed him much since, so I don't know how repeatedly he has offended, but this doesn't surprise me.

> Isn't the main point that they can think critically? Sadly, I'm coming to the conclusion that this is at best completely orthogonal to anything most people care about, and at worst, it's a liability.

I also call this the head nod effect. It's particularly a problem in technical discussions. I've come to the conclusion that 90% of the time 90% of people don't understand what 90% of what's being said. You essentiall
