They weren't used... and what context? Nobody was (legally) accusing Google of monopoly until recently, and this training has been in place forever. This is standard practice at most any big co, as far as I'm aware

But then you still have the original problem: it's illegal to say the words, but it's also illegal to tell people not to say the words? You already know that there's explicit precedent that these words are considered indicati

Yeah, that's cool and all, but a) a logical fallacy is a particular pattern of invalid argument, not just an argument that is invalid. So just on like a semantic level, an individual argument can't be a fallacy, though it can

That's not what a logical fallacy is

Anecdata: currently living in NYC in a very similar situation to GP (possibly the same neighborhood based on their description?), and I have easily 10x more such serendipitous encounters than in any of the 4 other places I've lived (fr

An important distinction, I think, is that good and evil are tangible and unambiguous as forces in the world, but there is still plenty of room for complexity in the struggle of good and evil within an individual. Is Smeagol truly evil?

I'm about as strident an advocate for better walkability in America as you'll find, but this is still a silly post. The OP is not about the question of why one would build pedestrian bridges in general, but why this particular o

I (vehemently) agree with the article's points. But can we stop referring to this class of delusional oligarchs as "Silicon Valley" or "the tech world," etc? Rank and file engineers, even most of the exceptional and

Yeah, as one of many investors in a Small Not-Tech company.

What a headline -- Big tech is not even mentioned in the article. It's literally an article about waste management startups. Neither big nor "tech" (at least as the press uses it)?

Maybe it's changed in the last couple years, but have you tried to buy a desktop PC case anymore? Last time I did, it was a struggle to even find one that isn't plastered with decorative LEDs, let alone 13 status indicators for

"Consumer experience" seems like such a strange way to frame this research, when it's just about the general flattening of pleasurable activities over time as they're repeated.

Can someone smarter than me explain whether this has implications in distributed consensus?

Why do articles like this never confront the paradox at play here: these sorts of jobs are notoriously awful and dehumanizing. Their existence is often looked at as a failure of our system, even in the very same publications that are now pu

That has a lot more to do with the requirements laid out by their management than their communication skills. They stick to the script because they take performance hits if they don't, not because they don't know how to talk to a

The only bridges approaching that length over water are causeways. The harbor is too deep for that, and again a causeway would not permit shipping traffic. It would also be a massive eyesore
