It's totally accurate bc humans are a simple ape that should be living in bands of 50 to 150, but then we had several technological revolutions. Someday well be more like star trek vulcans, I'm sure.

We literally don't but the alternative is dying out here in this planet which is guaranteed to suffer some catastrophe eventually.

I have headache from long covid, and it is astounding to me doctors aren't even trying novel treatments when they KNOW it's not a normal headache. I'd be willing to sign whatever waiver if they can come up with an antibodies

At this point I'm pretty sure anyone shilling for these megacorps are paid trolls.

They knew of the emergent coronavirus threat from the same gain of function chimeras research they accuse started all this. Just google coronavirus and filter from before 2017.

I truly really hope I will be done with tech by my early 40s (made enough to do something else less lucrative maybe). I don't think management will ever become so enlightened as to see humans fir their real capabilities. So, HN, please

> It's always been a fact in the US that you have to perform the advanced role for at least a year before your title and compensation reflects it. Yes, but only if you don't manage to find the other job that will bump you in pa

To me this is clearly worker exploitation and I wish everyone realized that.

Not an expert, but going back to basics you only license things you own. So if they will retain the IP you don't license anything.

Retention budget is a tiny tiny fraction of overall payroll. They would rather you up and leave after 1 year to 18 months. I wonder what will we do when it stops being a job seekers market though.

In the beginning I really thought the Trump white house would claim a biological warfare attack just so conservative americans would follow the health guidelines instead of the fuck you I won't do what you tell me posturing.

If you are willingly spreading it, it absolutely matters who you gave it to. That's blood on your hands.

I get it if it's a vegan argument or something, but come on, we harvest pigs on an industrial scale. We can use their organs however we want because we are the apex predator, that's just life.

On the other hand, in academia you are nuch more likely to find the moral relativistic nihilists that wouldn't care a past white collar crime conviction.

3 is false, your accusation doesn't need to be real at all yo damage your opponent. China was thee first to say it was the americans using biological warfare and accused them of deploying the virus during some kind of international com

And don't think you absolutely can't reverse entropy. You need to apply eork to the system, but ig you think about it the process of life itself is kinda doing that from an ever more entropic environment.

Given enough time and resources the engineers will problem solve the quality issues. It's just under capitalism there's no incentive, this has been pretty clear to me since I first entered the industry.

It is well documented they straight up covered up covid deaths in republican states.

Is it really ao hard so believe non skilled jobs have it this hard? Retail sucks, most service jobs suck and exploit workers. They found class consciousness through anger.

This seems a normal, even successful career to me. You were just burned out and maybe had a mesiah complex. I never had these kind of problems because from the beginning I always had a very mentally checked out a la office space perspective

As much as I hate anti vaxxers, global vaccination is simply not possible in any ammount of time that would have stopped the pandemic. It will be a routine vaccine worldwide only after the virus went endemic anyway.

You need to start seeing yourself as a survivor of all this even if you're not over it yet. I was bummed the fuck out when I got covid but the truth is made it out ok and circa 50 million people didn't, that's a memento mori

All societies are heavily gerontocratic, democracies or not. Of course for any crisis this always happens, see climate change, 2008, etc.

I don't have any hard numbers as I don't think we measure children suicide very closely here in Argentina, but we had one of the longest lockdowns with remote learning and it seems to be children did ok. I posit existential dread

Glad to see this, tying up voting rights with citizenship is a weird hang up, specially in local elections. I'm sating this from a south american country that gets a lot of immigrants, the only people not ok with this here are race nat

This line of thinking goes, it's like feeding crack to an addict to keep them enslaved. A huge portion of the historical debt was acquired during the dictatorship that killed 30k people, directly installed by the western intelligence s
