ChatGPT also believes the moon is made out of green cheese. (Less snarky: It hallucinates an answer. It can't do math. Do not rely on ChatGPT for math. Or facts.)

You might want to acquire reading skills. I am talking about business communications in a regulated sector.

This depends on your area, and your ISP. If, say, you use AT&T and you need Internet for your job (WFH?), redundant Internet is crucial. It's not exactly "minutes" they are out. (Their outages states are often "meh,

If you are working in banking, you know you are supposed to archive comms. If you then knowingly don't archive, you are deliberately sidestepping existing regulations. That's a much stronger issue than "if you've got

Yes, they are. Well beyond banks - it's a SOX compliance question for any publicly traded company.

Not retaining written comms is evading regulations - "retain written comms" is one, and using Signal/WhatsApp is evading it. Nobody working in banking is unaware of the written comms rules. Nobody using Signal or WhatsApp i

Yes. Has been for a while. Before that, listservs. (OK, they're still with us) Science is a team sport, and so it is grounded in communication. The faster, the better.

The problem here might be LastPass, not password managers.

Or... you could just use a password manager. With a few high-value keywords (your email - it's universal password access for most of us!) kept out of it. If you've need additional security (or the feeling thereof), keep it on an I

"It makes it seem as though there was just the Good side that had all the answers all along" That, right there, is where so many people went wrong and what was blatantly exploited by grifters up and down the chain. The side of sci

You're referring to politics. The science was pretty clear the entire time.

Emotionally, it was horrible. Societally, it was depressing to see that we'll never be able to tackle any true large problems, we can't even agree on wearing a piece of paper to protect fellow humans. But scientifically? Yeah, I&#

I'm sure you're trying to say something, but until you spell it out, we're left to guess. If what you'd like to say is that you think credit risk and ESG aren't related, well, Fitch disagrees. And rightfully so. Lac

"I was disappointed, everyone seemed normal" In a total plot twist, you can make a lot of money without constantly obsessing about it. You can even be "a bit Epicurean hedonist", enjoy your money, and still make more. (A

A company that is on track to reach even remotely close to FANG status has already taken on significant investments. From, by necessity, many investors in the Bay Area. That means the board wouldn't put requirements on investors, and t

I am so sorry your university fleeced you without giving you a decent education in your chosen field.

This may be a hard pill to swallow, but science isn't a "more is better" game. It ultimately requires being embedded in a culture that, to quote Popper, "seeks truths that are difficult and interesting". From that v

That argument is, of course, nonsense. First, private and public censorship are fundamentally different due to power balances. The government is enjoined from censorship except in very carefully defined circumstances. Private entities are a

Sigh. A lot of the arguments here amount to "there is no heuristic that's 100% correct, so heuristics are useless". That's not how that works. TA ultimately is supposed to give you insight into how the overall market is

Same feeling. "Dark Sun" feels very much like the grinding of an axe. But yes, "Making Of" is an absolute classic. Not just if you care about the field, but if you care about good science writing at all.

It is, however, added friction, and that's 90% of the security game. Every additional layer helps. (And a corp email account adds a paper trail, at the very least)

There'd be much to say about your points, but... you're missing the entire point of the article and rhapsodize on the title instead. Because the article isn't, at all, using the word "theatre" in a derogatory sense.

Sure, but that's still usually limited runway compared to getting funding. Yes, there are cases of spouses supporting a decade of work to get something off the ground. Yes, some people make enough to afford dumping it all into a startu
