Why would they? It just undermines peoples confidence in the institution, with no gain. That's the lens that these kinds of things are looked at through. Better to just quietly alter the messaging.

Because if the possibility turned out to be true, it would be extremely damaging at a social and political level. Not just on institutions, but on the psyche of people in general. I think everyone understands this at least on a subconscious

Yes, the article does a fantastic job of claiming their hypotheses as the only possibilities, while dishonestly ignoring others that would more severely undermine confidence in the state. I'm honestly surprised they're attributing

I can't give you a FAANG perspective, but I can relate to your feelings. Creativity and autonomy are extremely important...I would say some of the most important things in life. Money is important, but often in how it affords you time

Power is having people in key positions that can change an outcome when its needed. All of the security in the world doesn't do any good if the humans enforcing it are compromised.

Is it a weakness to only commit on majority consensus? I'm thinking of a very unstable global network, where partitions are happening everywhere. In that scenario, only one cluster can reach consensus (if you're lucky). If the par

50% of Americans can't read a book written at an 8th grade reading level[0]. It's one of the reasons politicians don't use jargon and fancy words. I think they'd probably laugh if you told them they should be talking abo

One person's "dumb writing down" is another person's "communicating effectively." Is your goal to (try to) teach people new words, or to communicate your points?

We know for sure one is true. The other is still TBD. Publications should be more forthcoming about that.

Related, in June 2022, the EPA changed its guidelines, which is directly triggering this news cycle about all water being unsafe to drink. In other words, the sky is not falling, we've just adjusted the definition of where the sky star

I dug around a little bit and couldn't find a source supporting either of our claims. I did find verified examples of crypto miners in cracked software[0]. I think the threat landscape for cracks has probably changed with the rise of c

And is now token-based. According to this[0], tokens are $3 a pop. A "basic study" simulation costs 3 tokens ($9) and an "advanced study" simulation costs 6 tokens ($18). Imagine how quickly you could rack up charges as

Would it? I understand your point, but the counterpoint is that the leaders are in a position to make big changes if something is broken. They could attempt to push some simple change and see glaring process and onboarding problems, which n

Don't leak whether or not the phone number belongs to an account. All failed login attempts should be some form of "Invalid login" regardless of whether or not it was an attempt against an actual account or not.

Is jury nullification the ultimate trump card? From what little I know about it, it seems that if enough people in a community knew about it, they could 100% control what crimes are punished in that community. On face value, that makes a so

This is an extremely smug and tone-deaf take on the deterioration of trust in public health institutions and messaging. They reference covid in their abstract, so it's fair game to discuss here: where was the scientific objective-truth

That's a good point. Sounds like the beginning of a death spiral caused by bad management decisions.

Well, if Ubisoft starts to see a sales hit from these shenanigans that is greater than the development costs for the migration, I think they'll be able to summon the willpower to accomplish the task. Even just half-assing it and asking

Say more about your situation. I have a lot of alone time, even though I live with my partner. I don't have coworkers, kids, family, or friends, so if I'm not with my partner, I'm alone.

Being swamped always made me feel like I should take longer to complete tasks, to protect myself from the stress of working too hard for too long. Then I realized how insane that is...why should I artificially make myself a less productive

I built a Pi server not too long ago, and had it host my personal knowledge wiki for things that I needed to remember. I was very proud of it. Eventually though, I realized that having a screen and a keyboard is critical for how I was using
