Don’t pardoned people by definition need to have been convicted of a crime whether real or in some select instances otherwise? Can you pardon someone not convicted of a (federal) crime?

Ultimately it's the board of directors' call. Sometimes they are oblivious to how much HR undermines the company by bringing in unnecessary distractions and making poor hiring decisions. Like much else, it's subject to mome

I’ve heard from interviews of former gov emps that their understanding is there was months long surveillance and planning.

This would be great. I would also like to see non profits close shop once their goals are reached or fail rather than transform into a new thing just so the top people who make up the organization can continue to have a paycheck.

This was also National Geographic’s modus operandi. They kickstarted exploration. Much of it would have happened eventually but it’d nice to have historical glimpses of what used to be.

Leading a nation is not a business. In order to have a successful and self sustaining population we need to develop our own human capital. You want to take shortcuts —those are fine when you’re playing catch up, not when you’re in the lea

The majority of Americans want to preserve jobs for Americans. It’s a minority of people who would agree with your position. It’s like voter IDs. Even a majority of Democrats would agree with requiring IDs at polling stations. Only a mi

If they can teach/lead us, then we can bring them in. If we have to teach them then we don’t need them and instead can cultivate our own talent. I’m not against brining in talent that can teach us where we don’t have local talent. We

Nixon was also wrong. The people who pushed this design over the finish line were the likes of GHW and Clinton, to the protest of the likes of Bernie back then.

I mean what is the point of a government of its people if not to serve those who elected it? It seems bizarre that one would elect a government to benefit others whose governments could give a rats ass about us.

I think there is a difference between bringing in key proven talent at the apex that’s already proven itself and talent that needs to be developed. Both the US and USSR picked up proven talent from the Nazis, they weren’t siphoning up green

If not developing domestic scientists but instead importing and developing foreign scientists is the way, why isn’t China doing it?

In geopolitics you are forced to make deals with the devil. We armed and supplied the USSR to defeat Germany in WWII. In the 90s we gave an out of work China a wold franchise so we could make a few extra bucks with cheap labor and one bil

Should then the powers that are developing AGI enter an analogue to the SALT treaties but this time governing AGI do things don’t go off the rails?

Those anecdotes don’t mean anything. If I were China and wanted plausible deniability I would work on CNY and take off on foreign holidays. Of course that leaves Beijing time as a weird oversight though it’s always Beijing time anywhere i

The problem was more than remuneration. It was burnout and mental health issues. They may have been moderated by income but we don’t know. Also today as I understand it much of OSS is done in-house by major companies (red hat, Ubuntu, ibm

I didn't read the text but if you’re referring to the quoted text, it’s not clear from the text that the implication was they were building batteries in _Fremont_ and then wanted to expand or that they were building them elsewhere and

NYC had a similar budgetary/fiscal issue too and they thought they'd manage it by assessing more taxes on companies and people. The result was corporate as well as individual flight. It's tough to slim down on spending. Be

Some airports are more notorious than others. Some suffer very little losses from theft rings, others suffer more. Ex-employees/employees abusing their access and knowledge to steal: https://abc7ny.com/post/david-

Also you need to keep organized crime out of airports. Some percentage of lost luggage is actually stolen luggage. Misrouting is also another large percentage. In the US unclaimed lost luggage ends up in some gigantic warehouse in Alabam

It reminds me of the “portal” era of Netscape, Excite and Yahoo. Very information dense. Among others’, Google’s minimalism took over.

That claim makes no sense in today's world. For over a decade, the likes of Youtube, Netflix and short form video make the majority of throughput. Why in the world would anyone want to monitor known catalogs of content? Most of whic

Browsers today view and can do limited editing for PDFs. No need for a dedicated reader. One does need a dedicated authoring tool if you need to create PDFs from scratch. Most OSes support print to PDF as well if you only need conversion

That’s pretty wild. It absolutely makes sense that if you can, you would try to minimize rider (and driver) risk. I also agree I can’t see this ever being shown to a rider or driver. (that would expose them to other risk) That said, this

I really would like to know what that means in actuality. It sounds scandalous here but what does it mean on the ground? Obviously diff interpretations and practice mean widely diverging truths on the ground with diverging responsibilities.

Money and sycophancy also corrupt behavior. Another measure of character, is the response to being broke. In any case Bill Cosby on TV was a good role model -in life, out of the public eye, he was a bad dude who drugged and SA'd victi

People have personae. They can have good and bad sides. On the evening news parents or neighbors will often say “he seemed like a nice kid; I never saw him do anything bad.” About some kid (or older adult) now being involved in some crime
