I don't get the Hugging Face endgame. I've worked with their sales teams, and they seem like they are just constantly throwing things at the wall. With the overinflated fundraising they did, I don't know how they're goin

This isn't entirely true. 7-11 bought and maintained the Stripes brand, but they still operate 7-11 branded stores in Texas.

My wife and I looked a lot into adopting, and this is a really common thing. You have adoptees who didn't have a great life and they are, justifiably, upset. But the problem is that you aren't hearing from the ones who are happy o

> Our Costco has a few colorful members of staff, which I personally find makes my visits there more pleasant. Is this a poor choice of words, or one of those "I've gone so far left, I'm now also racist" things?

That's where we differ. Of course, you're not obligated to speak French, but to go and expect people to communicate you in your language, not theirs, is highly entitled.

I've heard it described as Digital Canada, which I think is just the perfect description.

What's the point of reading a book, then? The joy of reading fiction is to try to understand the humanity in the scene. I don't need the author to force feed me all of these details. I want to wrestle with the answers, to try to g

Ironically, your comment would be illustrative of Dunning Kruger, if it really showed what you're claiming. The Dunning Kruger study never said that stupid people believed they were smarter than smart people, or that they outperformed

This can't really be the most interesting thing to comment on this story. But since we're here, I have a hard time seeing this as being confusing. Who is pushing "lives" off cliffs?

There's no need to imply a shadowy conspiracy to hide the "truth". You can look at, for example, The Dead Sea Scrolls and compare them to the Masoretic texts: https://news.nd.edu/news/dead-sea-scrolls-yie

It's "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." Which is a stupid argument, since there is "any tech" that c

I doubt the NFL is worrying too much. Reddit activism rarely (never?) moves the needle. If anything, it will push more people to X to get NFL news.

The person you're replying to wasn't making a general point, but was specifically replying to someone who said their income was in the top percentiles. So probably not someone just getting by.

I don't get what you're getting at here. But, yes, I feel safer with a cyclist going slow on a shared sidewalk rather than going at full speed. For some reason, cyclists like to close their eyes when their fellow cyclists run stop

Yes, this is most likely the reason. Which means that the author didn't "care" enough to think through what the reason might have been or didn't "care" enough for the pedestrians.

Trump is actually very, very whatever will get Trump elected or whatever was last whispered in his ear. Trying to find a coherent philosophy from Donald Trump is impossible.

I hate when people make me defend Trump. The "you won't have to vote again" was clearly him saying that he didn't care if the people vote again, because it won't benefit him. He didn't say that he'd be ple

Huh? I never said that, clearly. What I said is that journalists use it extensively, it has an influence much beyond the numbers, as the journalists then push the topics and POVs from Twitter into their writing.

The parent comment is almost an advertisement for waiting to give kids a smartphone until they're older. If one truly can't imagine doing any of these without post-2010 technology, then it would be good giving kids a little bit mo

X being an echo chamber for journalists means it's relevant whether you consume it directly or not. The conversations that the journalists are having on X today are the spin that pops up in disparate outlets tomorrow.

Yeah that's weird. Like, maybe they should have gotten someone else to do the story if the reporter couldn't have done a full job of it?

I once saw an ad for a 350 person company who was hiring a "founding mobile engineer." I can't help but see it as a way to glob on to the "prestige" of being a founder without any of the benefits or equity upside.
