It’s two different cultures, one of which is more dominant, or was during the Biden years. As always, only the dominant culture matters culturally.

I think the responses would’ve been different if he had made a personal statement rather than a general statement.

It’s not a terrible theory. You could argue that other websites banning their containment communities caused a spillover effect into the wider internet as well.

People in HN have been complaining about university admin bloat for many years. In this thread, the problem is it’s political and people struggle with the cognitive dissonance about that stuff.

Yeah, after 2015 it became impossible to go to any of the boards if you weren’t a pol poster. They made it their mission to spread their vile shit everywhere.

Top researchers prefer federal funding, it’s fairly predictable..till now. It’s messy now so I might be wrong.

A university research lab is controlled by usually one professor or a very small number of professors. They can decide to move to another university and take the lab with them.

It’s current year. They might hobble along for a few years without federal funding but they need federal funding to keep their academic reputation and be elite institutions.

In the US at least, UBI would basically mean the rent and monthly mortgage prices increase by the same amount as the monthly UBI.

The proportions matter and I think much fewer people would be saying the result was not legitimate if it was through some sort of campaign and primary process than an insider decision made through whatever backroom deals they did.

Yes, local maxima. You cannot reward a political party when they skip the democratic process and appoint a candidate. If they repeat it again, hopefully they keep losing until they learn their lesson and we get a better set of people who ca

They could have had a mini primary leading to the Democrat convention in August and let the voters in the convention (electors?) decide from multiple candidates while taking polls into account, for example. Having a memory, I do remember pe

It would be rewarding bad behavior though. Since there would then be no incentive to stop, voting for Harris would increase the likelihood of the Democrats continuing to skip primaries or promote candidates from within while ignoring their

Do the post-hoc rationalizations matter? Kamala wasn’t elected in a primary and so the perception by many is that she was an illegitimate candidate. That perception translates directly to votes, the justifications for Kamala being the candi

They tried to appeal to the right by appealing to neocons. But neocons are mostly anti-Trump and going to vote Democrat anyway. It was a weird and very disorganized campaign.

You need to stop accusing me of made up things derived from your paranoid delusions lol. Democrats wanted the protesters in jail and they put them in jail be they didn’t like what the protesters said. It really was that simple, so stop maki

Hesai, a Chinese company, sells lidar for cars and they plan to sell at $200 later this year, their current one is around $400. You would need four for a car. I assume the ones for Waymo would be a bit more expensive.

And then people figure out that the supposed fact checkers are politically biased and so don’t believe their “facts” anymore. And then people who believe the supposed fact checkers say that people who don’t believe their “facts” are stupid

It's pretty funny because lidar used to be many thousands of dollars and now it's down to hundreds and they're still sticking to just regular cameras. Funny in the sense that Teslas are many times more dangerous than lidar en

Multiple definitions I guess. NATO countries are very much part of the US empire but pretty much all the countries that we have military bases in would be part of a looser definition of the US empire. We can control international relations

Interesting, so basically no growth since 2007 if you exclude computers, even with increased productivity. And the drop in employment is insane and it's no wonder that there is a huge political movement with fixing that as a pillar. N
