It’s not “right wing” or pro-Trump at all, but this NYT explanation is hilarious. It’s just a joke reference to the simulation theory, and refers to someone who has their opinions “assigned” to them, left or right, and doesn’t imply disagre

And almost none of them are employed prior, so it makes sense he has not worked with them, and makes it suspicious that 3 working people went to hospital.

This was the most depressing realization of the past year for me. Otherwise smart people too. Including a large percentage of this site. They got nearly every story wrong, and only some are just starting to realize it.

That’s hilarious. I had to self-sensor a lot for wrongthink as well. I still do on some topics. These people don’t listen, they do a quick pattern match of your keywords and dismiss if it sounds tangentially related to a non-left narrative,

This is incorrect. You’re behind on this one.

Doesn’t matter if it’s on a US exchange. If you’re a US person, and you move bitcoin from one wallet to another without cashing anything out, this is potentially a reportable event now. And if you fail to do so, the public ledger has crypto

There is a mountain of research on that, and they do.

Awful article with false and slanderous allegations. The study would be interesting, but this blogger’s agenda overshadowing it is not. Can’t believe they are still pushing lies about James Damore. Skip this nonsense and read the actual stu

I think this is what you say when the heat is on you too badly. They’re trying to shed the target on their back.

Weird to see this downvoted, it’s completely accurate and pretty basic economics. Security is a cost center, product development is a revenue multiplier. Investing in the latter as much as you can get away with is the most rational way to a

That’s a pretty silly way to look at it. There are a lot of reasons, but the most obvious is that you just moved people around, you didn’t get any new ones. It’s zero sum in the short term, because there are many many years of latency to co

This is basically accurate but with an added problem. When devs do their job, the product is software. When security does their job, the product is “not getting hacked”, so if you act busy enough, it’s easy to appear as though you’re doing

The issue is less about people unwilling to take those wages, and more about a lack of people whose breath can even fog a security mirror so to speak. I work in security and have been involved with hiring at several “brand name” companies i

If you actually were a potential Tesla buyer before this, you'd certainly be in the minority if this is what changed your mind. Most people see the transparency as a good thing, especially people with concerns about whether their own c

Country of origin is not a race. You can’t just call everything racism because the numbers are different.

The headline is pretty much a lie here.

Sure. That doesn’t change the fact that many are now being paid to not work.

I know, I expected the ideological downvotes ;) Hearing the same from a restaurant owner friend, and have seen another friend free-riding for the last year. He’s been taking cheap vacations and going on hikes and road trips. Anecdotal, sure

Where did you read that it was fixed or acknowledged as a bug? It definitely was not fixed.

I’m talking about the riots and antifa/anarchist attacks, not the protests. And it doesn’t matter that there are places that are not being attacked and vandalized. This is of little consolation to the business that are suffering from r

You’re an example of the boiling frog if you think it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to light the mayor’s condo lobby on fire and riot over 100 days in a row. This has nothing to do with propaganda.

I can assure you that nobody in this conversation got their information from right wing news.

A lot of progressives seem to share this delusion and I find it puzzling. I have no idea who started this meme that there are “right talking points” going around about Portland. If such a thing exists, I have no idea what it is or where it

It has changed a lot with antifa having free reign for the last year. Lots of businesses boarded up and leaving. Even the Apple store was just set on fire again .

An unfortunate myth that is easily disproven after a quick glance at the data. Yet, it persists.
