Here's what Meta's blenderbot replied with: "The Tokyo tower is taller than the eiffel tower. Interesting facts like that interest me. Do you know about it?"

What's your over/under? 3x? 4x? The messages themselves only go until March 2020 so while there might be "juicy" stuff there, it won't be specific 1/6/2021 planning.

You should read the article -- it's really interesting!

I have always wished Netflix, maybe just for my favorite downloadable titles, allowed for an audio-only option so as not to drain my battery or when I'm out for a walk.

I'm reminded of this quote from the movie Contact: "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ2nhHNtpmk

I prefer approaches that incentivize positive climate behavior, like taking the bus or bikes. Make it more convenient to charge electric vehicles in cities. Etc.

My guess is that the Court picks a date in between what each party has requested. I do think it'll be closer to Twitter's proposed date than Musk's. That said, I read both filings and thought Musk made a good argument that be

One of the questions is, "If Elon doesn't buy Twitter, what will the share price be?" If you think embarrassing info is likely, then you could answer with a lower price there. You can also factor whatever odds of him doing we

I'd love to see a study on this topic. My priors lead me to believe gains are far more distributed and far more come out ahead, but I haven't actually researched the degree.

No, it's a union; you can find them listed on the DOL website as a union if you look them up. It's not uncommon for different workers to be represented by different unions in a single workplace. UNITE HERE, among others, represent

You can be anti-union, that's fine. It's even legit to be pro-union but to say that for you personally, you're such an amazing performer that employers are fighting over you and so maybe the union is good for most but not you

It's related to 100% of the quotes I was responding to, however.

The full quote: > Although McLeod enjoys his job, he knows it’s one that’s frowned upon by many. “A lot of people see that a homeless person got arrested for stealing a candy bar. They’re hungry, right?” he says. “A lot of people are lik

I was thinking more that people here might be interested in rigging something up for their families just to tinker with the idea. Maybe to encourage habits for kids. But really just for the fun of making it.

How do you handle opt-ins? Also, related, I couldn't get the "terms" page to load on Mac.

The options are in fact that either these financial burdens are paid either by the families of incarcerated people, or the taxpayer. I vote for the taxpayer. We have this system of putting people in prison for our own safety -- the least we

I agree, but there's another way to think about this: every prison is for profit. Private companies are everywhere. There are jails where it's $25 to make a 15-minute phone call (extreme case but widespread problem). Commissary sp

"Find" is being used here as a noun, not a verb.

Maybe it just struck a nerve because I've been watching the Jan 6 hearings with videos of the violent mobs attacking police in my home city, a few blocks from where I used to live. In contrast, people who do this union work are heroes

It's an absurd example. If you were walking by my apartment building and I called the cops on you, would it be appropriate for me to say "well if you were the KKK, and I mistakenly thought I owned the sidewalk, I'd be right t

Not to speak for the person you responded to, but in context they were saying that union organizers are also employees. Unions do hire organizers, too, no doubt. But it's the organizing committee (made up of employees) that generally d

From the third sentence of the article: "the officers eventually determined that Litrell wasn’t on Amazon’s property and left." He was on public property. Are you arguing that Amazon doesn't know where their property line is?

So you agree with their human interface guidelines, then? "You can help everyone feel welcome in your app by avoiding unnecessary references to specific genders. [...] Most apps don’t need to know a person’s gender, but if your app req

Obviously. I'm just explaining the concern. There's no allegation from the person fired that taking the leave is why they were fired. But the mere PERCEPTION can have a chilling effect. And I have worked with many people who worry

by elicash 4y ago
The concern is that there could be a chilling effect resulting in people not taking this leave. If people expect to be fired for using this benefit, they won’t use it.

Part of why partisan gerrymandering has become such a problem is that the tech makes it easier to gerrymander. But mostly, political party matters much more than ever before. The electorate is more ideological and the candidates for office

I think your point of view is a valid one, but I saw my role with my comment on just correcting facts. They hadn't realized that Twitter had in fact used the word "consensus." I was not offering a view either way. In that spi
