I don’t think I’m saying anything remotely controversial so I think the correct answer here is “Ok, you’re right.” (To be honest I think this is the correct answer because I believe you to be arguing in good faith and our disagreement is su

I didn’t say do you accidentally engage in corporal punishment, I said if you believe in corporal punishment, implying a difference between a flaw and a belief not shared by all that may still damage a child. Sure you can change your belie

I think the key is the way everything is connected. Should you hit your kids? Probably not, but if you’re the type of person who believes in Corporal punishment you’re probably not the type of person who is self reflective about it. If yo

It seems like the research suggests that homeschooled students do better than public school taught students, but I wonder if there is a standard definition for homeschooled student? I'm imagining a parent with a small chalkboard and t

It seems this article's point is debunking a myth that parents have no impact on their children, and I'm sure that's not true, It's not a coincidence both my parents were in tech and I'm in tech. It doesn't se

I am 100% sure that it is definitely probably maybe a bot.

At least an older version of flockdb is open source. He's got somewhere to start.

Is there anything that can reasonably come out of this? I suspect that the only tangible thing would be a disagreement on the definition of “bot traffic”

If you come up with an algorithm to reliably and enduringly distinguish a spam account with a legit account you will be a billionaire. It's the 20 foot wall, 21 foot ladder problem.

This is a weird article. Trying to definitively describe what millions of people did over 100’s of years with a binary “yes they preferred beer because water was unsafe” or no they didn’t seems like it would take hundreds if not 1000s of p

I think Germany is using the $5 billion dollars to encourage intel to build there plant in Germany rather than somewhere else, but I think your ideas sound great too. can Germany grow an intel for $5 billion? It seems to me it’s like hiri

Companies pay governments to do business there? I mean this sounds great, I would love my grocery store to pay me to shop there. How do we make this happen? It seems to me sometimes like waiting for these kind of things to happen is cut

Serious question - How do you propose governments encourage companies to do what they want? Yes it’s a subsidy but it also seems like the government in this case is essentially buying a service. I guess Germany would hire people to build

Yeah but then there will be a new standard, I have to imagine waste is not the primary thing they are optimizing for here.

The research for pregnancy is also not great in general so it really leaves a wide scope of attack. For example, there are arguments that alcohol in moderation is not bad for the fetus. For alcohol to be bad you have to exceed the mothers

What does 5 rounds of interviews mean? With remote, I actually prefer that they break up my “in person” day into x separate days so 1 phone screen plus four interviews doesnt seem that bad to me, but I guess it depends on how they’re prese

I’ve also found wireless charging to be inconsistent at best, especially with a case. Half the time I come back and I didn’t place my phone in exactly the right place. Maybe it’s the quality of my chargers, but until I can buy a random ch

What does work together mean in this case, it’s not like we’re talking Ethernet where these devices are communicating to each other. Like I can’t use an android charger? Lightning to usb-c cables are pretty much standard. It seems like i

In some states miscarriage will be a crime if it believed the lifestyle choices of the mother caused the miscarriage. The biggest example is drug usage but it’s unclear what other lifestyle choices will be considered. https://ww

Is there a difference between Legit Bots, i.e. that post some kind of useful information similar to an rss feed, and illegit bots, i.e. that exist solely to upvote other peoples content or inflate follower counts?

If that's the case, then there is missing information that you should have done due diligence for?

I'm curious about the nuances of this, I haven't seen this argument made elsewhere yet, but it does seem to make sense that you would make that kind of exception. Even when you buy a house as-is, exceptions are generally going to

This would be a great point if Musk hadn't waved due diligence. He knew this was a risk before he made the offer and now he's just posturing.

Is he disputing the $1 billion dollar break-up fee? In the big scheme of things I just don't know that that element of it is that big a deal in comparison to the $15 or so billion dollars Twitter is not getting from the delta between

I fundamentally agree with you but I think a few things. 1. There's a small chance they fight because 10's of billions of dollars are at stake. 2. If they do fight I'm pretty sure they lose because I don't think a judg

Yeah, don’t go work for FAANG’s because that increased salary is probably just a ploy to increase profits.
