Don't worry, I don't tell my kids that. You made it up.

Not unlikely at all, if you're going to post it on social media

That's a stretch. Consider "Swift implementation" v. "iPhone home screen implementation"

Exactly! You can't just go around treating engineers like adults.

I think you're giving them too much credit. Happy that it didn't "unsuspend disbelief" for you, but it's too easy to make creative excuses for movie fridge logic.

Not that we'd want to start a flame war or anything.

That's a case for voice input, rather than natural language per se.

Estimate the cost of the PR nightmare. Estimate the risk of this complaint causing the PR nightmare. Estimate how many points HR can decrease this risk. Maybe HR is still the best ROI, but I think the equation could go either way.

From the employee perspective that makes sense. You articulate why they should be paid. But is that enough? I think you have to reason about the other side of the equation, where someone has to pay you. It rains. I have to walk to work I th

I'm in agreement, inasmuch as I hope management cares little for anything they believe doesn't touch the bottom line. Would you prefer if management cared more about that, instead of the bottom line?

Compared to the US, I think there might be a shortage of truly affluent individuals. Are there angel investors in Norway, that can give a new startup a chance?

Thanks for answering despite the blunt wording. I think it makes for a more honest discussion, but it riles some people up to the point of derailing debate. Curious: do you see these questions as anything more than questions about "wha

Okay that makes sense, let's see if I got it: - the means of production naturally belong to all humans collectively - resources should be allocated based on need - being born entitles you to be kept alive by the rest of your species

You're certain that it's out of spite/indifference, more than say economics?

It's not the trucker's fault they're traffic jammed. Does that mean it's their employer's fault?

Can you outline your thinking around why this is "plainly invalidated?"

Centrally is an understatement. There is legislation that binds non-union members at non-union workplaces to union agreements.

Who will decide what gets done? Maybe that's so trivial that it doesn't even matter?

I'm guessing you would've elaborated, but someone needed to use the computer?

Intelligence can be a real thing even if nobody knows how to teach it.

What makes it preposterous? You're thinking the real CIA would've at least sent Jason Bourne?

Is it easy to get to a good mental model of computing, without programming?

People assume you have Facebook. Still having my account keeps things smooth.

I did the same thing. Still have Messenger, but without push notifications. It works beautifully. The immediate FOMO fades quickly. Nothing of value is lost. Real friends and important info finds a way to get through.

Some of the same words are indeed found in there
