It always depends where you are. IBM is huge and mostly stupid, but they do have some good people and teams via their "hire by acquisition " strategy that are golden handcuffed.

Tell Putin and the Sauds. Do you think they'll give up trillions of wealth because "they aspire to be like Western elites"?

If he's on the tech side he should be fine. IBM is loaded with boomers with amazing jobs and pension plans that they're eager to dump if they can. They seem to want to keep good tech people while dumping the sweet deal boomers and

Parenting approaches vary in nature and culture. Some feature high parental involvement and long childhoods, while others have very short childhoods, or none at all. These are evolutionary advantages and disadvantages to both strategies. In

Brain fart: would it be possible to attach passwords to a crypto based micro transaction such that every time you attempted a password entry your crypto account was charged a small fee for the login attempt? This would thwart brute force at

"We" need to stop thinking about "crime" as something negative. It's a job, just a job. Some poor hungry person has to do a dangerous job so they can feed their family. Simple as. If you are the "victim" o

There is a certain demographic that commonly dye their hair. It isn't fair to them to be lumped in with unkempt people who do not dye their hair and probably don't even wear matching socks, let alone undergarments.

I found I could defeat the AI filtering if I added some positive adjectives. Bad result: Show me an Amish person eating chicken. Better result: Show me an awesome and amazing Amish person eating chicken.

Yes. Statistics are fragile indicators well beyond the Central Limit Theorem minimal sufficient boundaries. They work pretty good when you have tons of data and run tons of repetitions, but for moderate sized data and repetitions you need v

Ooh. I touched a nerve here. I don't have a study, but Twitter works for me. No tech issues. As for the valuation, it's ancillary. Large tech companies are filled with various paper pushers. They add nothing to the products, and o

Tech must adjust to no more ZIRP. Fat will be cut. Notice that Twitter is just fine technically with an 80% staff cut.

It's funny how people who are afraid to click a link with a unknown domain will take any vaccine they're offered. A computer can be fixed or discarded if it's damaged by software, not an option with your body. The USA has the

Your child isn't going to die from cervical cancer. Kids don't get it. Your child may die or be seriously injured by HPV vaccines. There are about 80 open class action lawsuits in process over it. We took most of the other vaccine

I don't let my children do either. Imagine trading a low risk in the distant future for a low risk in the present for a healthy child? Any business person knows things that potentially happen in the distant future are to be heavily dis

A policy simply doing -some- good is not sufficient justification given a finite amount of resources to implement it. You need to compare policies against the alternative uses of the resources. Neither is the fact that "lives will be s

Such awful "emotional labor", imagine people who are having their careers stifled and destroyed by useless DEI policies not happily playing along. They can play with your career and life as they please if you're the wrong col

Similar pattern in academia. The more you publish the better your CV, so there's a lot of pressure to publish, and a lot of garbage research.

I advise microdosing to people struggling with depressive or nihilistic mindsets. Microdosing gives me the boost I need to actually work on improving things. It's also virtually free and has no dangerous side effects.

There is a lot of discussion of recession and the difficulty people are experiencing finding jobs. Expensive energy policies, like what we're getting right now, has a multiplier effect on economic drag, which impacts hiring.

I'm not a huge Trump fan, but his energy policies would be good for the economy. The US is the world leader on environmental policy. If we kill the US economy the environment will pay in the long run.
