Just need to ask yourself who costs the wealthy the most income if they stop playing ball. At one point it was the Middle East with oil supply cutoffs. Now it’s China with supply chain manipulation and market competition.

I think the community would welcome banning paywall links. Though this site isn't really for the community, it's for feeding into ycombinator. And making them more socially relevant to normal tech communities.

It’s not like you can log in anyways. At least without accepting multiple updates TOS, updated arbitration clauses, and similar. There’s legal power to be had in having old clauses that were found invalid in other court cases/new law

Major outlets get skipped for pay wall shenanigans. Known sources essentially aren’t worth clicking on, since you can’t read them anyways.

Iron Realms games are pay to win enough to make every publisher jealous. Though they are some of the most involved/integrated communities of players/developers/tool-makers in likely any game at the moment.

He’s also throwing some fun shade in other interviews towards physicists that are obsessing over theories designed to be unprovable (multiverse, string theory, and similar). But are then utterly against something like his theory, even if i

Essentially the people who graduated college at the start of the 2000 crash, were further victimized by the 2008 downturn. These are people that picked up habits of Great Depression victims in savings habits and lack of trust in safety ne

When it comes to anticheat that game companies would want to use, will end up being patched away. Most anticheat software is most just abuse of OS vulnerabilities to gather as much system information as possible. There's likely to be

Well they aren’t going to provide code or the dataset. Which is pretty bad since it’s pretty easy to dispute what their AI is judging. (Not scientifically, but the team really isn’t acting all that scientific by setting themselves up to b

It's not the union choosing to promote, it's the employer for IBEW. Also disallows noncompete clauses. So if your current employer says no, you can go to another. Which is how I've seen quite a few promotions. The latter o

It's more interesting that this is appearing on something as mainstream/everyday as Reuters. And honestly they're not wrong about there needing to be fundamental rights against neural editing, free will suppression, and simil

A Kickstarter style union where employees say "we aren't allowing this on the platform, and we will have this even though we normally would not allow it", would allow for an amazing level of evidence to pile up of biases. Th

Bots are the best thing to have happened to Twitter's bottom line. Essentially Twitter at a fundamental level operates by farming the users into nice sorted silos. Then waiting for something to enrage a silo enough for them to obsess
