This article is trying to make an excellent point (emphasized in the second half of the write-up), but the claim that "DID probably doesn't event exist" is untrue, and but I'm sure the author only meant as click-bait. DI

The highlight to me in this article is how pandemic loneliness + crypto frenzy has made this type of victim a lot more common today. You can't do anything about crypto over the short-term, but I hope the loneliness aspect of this gets

This is just a case of false equivalency. Smoking and car-usage are completely different phenomena and the one should not be used make judgements about the other. You're going to have to do more than that to convince me & others wh

Personally, I'm too confused to be even cynical about it. I don't know anything about Van Jones other than what I see on TV, but that by itself cannot explain why Bezos felt he deserved the "award".

Copilot, as far as I know, also does not seem to factor in the greater context of the application/code you're in when auto-completing these tasks. To me, this is a huge part of modern-day development. It's not only about prod

All I'm saying is that the charge of "antisemitism" is too heavy and the author's post didn't sound that way to me, but since I'm not Jewish, I'm not going to press this point this further at the risk of s

I read the blog post and while the author's tone was a little bit harsh, I really doubt it can be called anti-semitic. I guess that's why they re-assigned him and he wasn't fired. You probably don't want a "head of

Does anyone really believe that these giant companies actually care about the so-called 'woke' values being foisted upon them? Once companies realize that getting political is no longer a virtue (and by 'virtuous' we mea

Great read, and a close call! Like other people mentioned, the fact that Sale's predictions were even remotely close to what we're experiencing today should be hair-raising. What I took from Sale's argument was that "Tec

I read your other comment under the submission, and suddenly this makes more sense. It's possible there's something these companies know/aware of that we don't, or that the government is secretly involved in it somehow.
