In my experience from a poor Latin America country, rich people rob those far away, poor people rob those close. If there is no obvious diversification in the path forward, then the resources of wealth are few and easily identified. Ex: oi

Like how whenever they want to introduce gambling, they always tie it to school funding, as if magically, it’s the only way to pay for schools

I disagree. I despise pampering in a country where everyone makes a pittance and slaving over some rich American is a more lucrative career than most others. I come from such a country. It’s possible to have fun very easily, even a very r

It is 100% irrelevant that a doctor “experience” a disease. They should have training / exposure to it though. I constantly hear non-medical people talk about how “only female doctors understand because they’re women”. What crap. The

This is bad. The Mere-Exposure Effect can increase the number of victims as AI CSAM can act as a gateway drug so to speak. This is the justification for keeping the ban on legally culled elephants. Yes, a percentage of elephants are legall

You can’t even guarantee the safety of your family where you live 100%. Why the fear of guns specifically? Have you ever fired one? Best way to get over the fear is just get some training. I view guns as just a slingshot 2.0. Take a cl

Have you ever worked at a university?

These don’t even remotely compare. In academia, timelines are long, failure is extremely high, total team involvement on a project is small, motivation is different, as is team selection criteria. Just look at a large project for academia t

This shows you don’t know what extreme poverty is and how horrible it is. What-about-ism is an elitist way to pretend to care yet do nothing. Imagine it was your country and your project which eliminated extreme poverty. No doubt you would

You think most hoppers are walking away from life changing money? You think hoppers aren’t calculating it’s in their interest to hop?

This is not true. An officer from the US was sent to protect the Yellowstone herd at some point. IIRC he had previously been assigned to fight Indians and had a track record for “effectiveness” aka modern day war crimes. Apparently this

There are all for the most part special cases. Most people aren’t homeless, in prison, illegal immigrants, etc. This is just what-about-ism. Clearly what the person was talking about was how PEOPLE tend to treat others, in vast numbers, so

Wonder why other companies didn’t do the same. I recall the snobbery of the other companies who thought you should go to them hat in hand for the pleasure of giving them gobs of money.

It’s not because friendships are largely made from shared suffering. In a time of further independence, over choice, and tech to hold onto previous friends, making friends who actually will physically meet up with you frequently is definite

As if he personally ran this without people who knew a few things? Go look at the success rate of university research. This sounds like someone who hasn’t been part of research.

Life as a single man in his 20’s is very different from a single man in his 60’s. Not sure why you thought you had to solve all these other people’s problems, but it seems to be a strong reason why you divorced - unrealistic expectations on

These two things are orthogonal. You can not be pro DEI and still find competent people. Just by the numbers, it’s possible. To be “most unqualified” you can select from DEI or not, as any group will have horribly qualified people. There a

They should. The practice of bankrupting people if you can’t get a conviction is a disgrace. I know a few people this has happened to. Well off family, two doctor parents. Police get their panties up in a bunch over trying to look hard c

So you live in Germany? I would say it’s important to for the government to fund memorials of atrocities if the government was responsible for them, even if it’s an entirely new government.

Anyone who doesn’t have their head up their ass would realize this. Better to not tell them and just boycott them. Those companies who don’t push the boundaries on how bad they can treat their (potential) customers deserve to be rewarded.

Why is ice cream not deserving but coffee is? Coffee isn’t carried out to the table. For that matter, why are bartenders tipped? They can turn around a drink in seconds. That being said, I also tip bartenders

Is $10 really expensive? For most people, no. Can you think of $10/m you spend on something less important than search? A couple coffees, a sandwich, HBO, Netflix, a drink, using two gallons of gas recreationally, etc

LLM’s are notoriously bad at math. My company tried it and the results were laughable. A calculator eliminates the arithmetic part, thus doing “all” of “2+2”. Half the point if a word problem is learning how to set up the arithmetic. “Con
