That's fine though, and it's exactly how we would want it to be aka it's for the students but if someone is ernest they can just 'participate' in some thing. That's a positive outcome I can't fathom gettin

My bad choice of words, I meant to say that saving money is not wrong or immoral and that a lot of the arguments here are based on that as opposed to the materiality of having done something wrong by the SEC.

Thanks for bringing up the plumber, because it's something we think of as 'transactional' but in reality it is not. Plumbing is artisinal, Carpentry, even more so. There are no two situations the same, and it'd be easy t

"Sorry but that's not an argument. You're saying it's wrong without saying why." No - it's not my job to disprove totally made up fantasy. The delusional author and his naive followers are the group perpetuatin

It was not quite journalism because they didn’t really adhere to standards though they did dig into issues msm is too lazy or narrow to cover and so I think they had a legit voice.

Oh yes you are 4 times better than everyone else but treated just the same. Are you sure about that? Maybe some introspection needed? Also - the issue is not that some people are exploitative - that can happen. It’s the rest of it. The pers

It’s their choice if they want to save their money. There’s no whistle to blow.

Replying to my own comment, while this doesn't show distance, it does show behaviour: "Maternal grandmothers were significantly more inclined than paternal grandfathers and grandmothers to maintain frequent face-to-face contact, a

Mother is more likely to be a biological parent, yes, but that's not going to be it. The kid certainly won't know. It's 'Mother Tongue' nor 'Father Tongue'. Women raise the children, they're more like

It's interesting to say 'a lot of eyeballs will do something' in a world where nobody believed it. I think this thread overstates the reality of the very, very crude metaphor that illustrates 'why open source can work&#x

Hey man, we all do this, it's normal. I don't know what to say to improve so much but definitely don't fret. Maybe try to think a bit bigger picture, and as some authors like to do: just grind. I've read that some author

Anyone who actually believes this should for the good of everyone else, leave their careers now. I mean, it's fun to read about completely arbitrarily made up characters at 'Dunder Mifflin' used as the basis some kind of deep

'Nothing good' happens by 'self-oriented individuals doing the least', in fact I would go further and say 'almost nothing' happens at all. If you've ever been on a 'decent team' you'll see t

I have many lifelong friends who are effectively 'kin' aka almost extended family and I don't drop friends because sometimes they might grind a bit, or as we age we see some things (very) differently. Frankly, some of them ar

Colleagues are not 'friends', they are still good for your mental health. Often better than friends since they are forced to behave.

It's the biggest cognitive dissonance of the generation. I'm empathetic to rising costs etc. but this remote work thing ... means instantly competing with an audience 10x bigger, many of whom are in remote place with a fraction of

Yes, definitely, for professionals anyone needing to ask the question might consider some introspection.

My TT feed is funny animals and animal rescue, I've never seen a dark thing and I think TT is very small-c conservative and doesn't want that stuff. They are not trying to be 'free speech' just 'fun'. Aside fro

It's geopolitical, and the 'content' stuff is just populism. Insta is hosted in the US controlled by Western firms, not privy to the CCP and that's it.

What is "perception, metacognition, curiosity" Seriously. How does a bag of random particles have those things? It cannot, by our own definition. Hence the metaphysical problem of 'consciousness' as it relates to our var

"LLM is fundamentally information processing technology. Not the path to AGI, not an emerging sentience." I don't agree with this premise. 'This Time Is Different' because the LLMs have enabled AI to cross a materia

Don't ban it, just force the sale of US/European or non-Chinese division to an outside party and that's that. There's actually not that much economic downside. Having TT merged with Bytedance is not a big economic bonus.

It'd be extremely naive to assume that they didn't have a back door, didn't have the ability to 'direct' TikTok to do as they required for pretty much anything, and didn't use it to further whatever their agen

That data data does not support your argument aka "Tucker is not niche because his audience has more political balance" than we'd otherwise expect . Except - Cable News audiences are small, and 25-54 Cable News audience is a

I don't have an 'agenda' I'm responding to the people who think that because someone doesn't like Musk, that they must have 'an agenda'.

Not mainstream, but not fringe; he's popular on Cable but not popular overall, especially in a world where people under 50 don't even watch cable news. If you combine with the lack of integrity and the personal toxicity, he locks

I think it's delusional to suggest that Tucker represents mainstream public opinion more than other entities. In fact, I suggest a lot of Tucker fans believe that, and that's partly what's wrong with them. That said, Tucker d

Yes, and the 'most watched cable show' just isn't that big. Radio personalities in 1950 used to get 50 million listeners nightly. In the 1970's almost everyone watched 'Walter Cronkite' And as 'old timey&#

Twitter is a failure because of Musk. It’s ‘you’ who want to make it into something other than that. The ‘new features’ are basically irrelevant and much of it has been chaos or failure. The fact is there’s not much in terms of basic featur
