I suggest going to the Harvard Project Implicit tests and taking a few. After that, study the design of the test. Because humans are the decision makers (not some objective code review acceptance program for example) all you would need to &

It is conducted like every other sort of corporate training around risk factors for the company, discussing principles and examples of violations and grey areas. Other examples are ethics e.g. "should I take a bribe?" and security

A more specific slack channel (and I assume mattermost channel) is a thread that you can add people to any time and they will immediately have history. Or put in the inverse, a Zulip thread that is too general is a channel with information

What is the advantage of threads over just more specific top level channels. e.g. in their example why not #annual-summit-name-tags etc. One immediate thing slack does wrong is it makes channels too hard to make and destroy and leave and jo

And the same in reverse is true, our comm channel has gone out several times due to slack being out of our control and going down. IMO this is a wash.

I'd say the opposite, but maybe not so much on the fear front. Superfund sites are everywhere, p2.5 is generated by every diesel on the road. A level of human generated poison/contamination is everywhere. Low levels of pesticides,

I'm shocked at how many defenders pop up here for a proprietary chip that cannot be audited. Sure, this hardware/firmware combo might be safe. It also might be terrible, but no one on this thread actually knows either way. It is a

I think the 'marketplace of ideas' at least insofar as embodied in various internet outlets is what is failing and causing people to think that some speech is bad and should go away, due to the bullshit asymmetry principle and suc

A side note: the picture in the first few pages of the pdf looks like the original authors intent, aka, not pointing to a particular part of the fake plane for each subsystem. The picture on the web was "upgraded" editorially to p

Not saying you're wrong, its anecdotal on both our parts. But I do! If you say to a kid "They built all of this by hand on pen and paper from ideas in their head! (amazed expression)" they'll parrot back to you the above

Another way to think about it is owning an electric as a primary vehicle (most trips are under 50 miles or whatever) and the gas car as as secondary, long range vehicle. This makes way more sense than hybrids for two car families. We own a

I don't have any yet downsides yet, but if interested I'd suggest browsing the leaf owner forum https://www.mynissanleaf.com/ which has a lot of leaf hacker information & a wishlist section. Essentially my tak

Can confirm! I got a 2015 for $9600, with 24k miles. It is fantastic and has more than _twice_ the trunk space of the volt which was a deal killer for the volt. We are a two car family and the other car is gas only for long range & occa

No, it comes at a severe cost. The upside is that it removes the negative externalities of legacy plants.

I think these are the same thing though. You want to ensure that you have a hardware way of turning your camera off _because_ you know that ultimately you have no control of the software that runs on your laptop. If you had good software as

This is silly to discuss who is 'worth it' as a target. The nets are cast wide and good malware will simply seek the vulnerable. Think of the hard drive encrypting ransomware. If they add illicit webcam pictures into the "PAY

I don't think this is true. Can you back this claim? I think they are not hardwired together, but merely both activated at the same time via firmware. Until hardware manufacturers provide a simple hardware sensor cutoff, blocking them

You've defined a rapid peaker plant, which no one is implying we should lose. The destruction of the market for this type of bad-actor legacy baseload is a market opportunity for those who can provide the services you're talking a

There are two things happening, both because of the negative externalities that traditional sources produce, but aren't factored in to prices. One is subsidies, the other is source prioritization both of which favor renewables. Plants

The parent gave a phonetic explanation that has nothing to do with writing but rather hearing and speaking about it. For a billion people they aren't one letter away from each other, they're ~ the same. That's the point.

You're suggesting that a house with solar panels pre-existing is a net burden on homeowners? I can't imagine that as a serious contention but I installed solar and every option had excellent warranty coverage that spanned owners,

This doesn't make sense. When you add an asset to one thing it doesn't mean that things without that asset go up in value. Are buyers like "oh you have a house with no solar pannels?! I want to pay more for that!"?

Yes. For new readers, suggestion for this article: start with the last sentence. Then skim the article re AI. Then respond. So we don't have to keep saying/hearing "Why not both?". The author's take is: both!
