What on earth are you guys talking about? I'm googling about "illuminists" and "illuminati" and I can't find anything about monopolies or permissive bookreading.

That's the opposite end of the spectrum though. OP was describing a culture where you're free to make short-term trial and error losses as part of a long term strategy. You're describing poor management.

It might be partly social rules but I think a lot is down to UI/UX and the underlying protocol. Email clients by and large look very different to chat clients. When you draft a new email you're given a bit white space that expands

Wow. So the hull was poorly engineered. They had no idea in advance because they didn't test it. They had no idea after the initial damage because their monitoring was flawed. Then it took ages to find them because they failed to notif

What do you mean by "before any of that"? In the middle ages - when we had taverns and inns rather than restaurants - establishments still required a licence to operate and had to comply with standards and laws. See e.g. https:&#

Also, in some cases the press did apologise, e.g. https://archive.ph/F3Ra1 . Fox news were notoriously the worst propagandisers in this case; I searched but could not find any apology from them.

Surely emotions and morale are worth considering as well. Even if someone is unproductive and stupid, but friendly and well-liked, then their death would impact everyone's productivity for some time.

Since the ruling there have been reports of cis men and women being challenged in the toilets - in some cases harrassed - because they don't "look" right. See e.g. https://transactual.org.uk/wp-content/up

If you're going to store your passport (or anything) in a zip-lock bag for a long period, maybe just sprinkle in some baking soda? Mould doesn't like dry, alkaline conditions.

I dunno, there's something about email that makes a lot of people write more thoughtful and comprehensive messages. Not everyone, obviously. But it feels more like writing a letter - you're not expecting a reply within minutes.

The way I see it, AI is a tool. Using that tool can speed up production but compromise quality and depth. Much like handcrafted furniture is higher quality than factory-produced. It's not unfair or biased to make people aware that a pi

Hi! If I remember rightly, you can run contraction hierarchies but stop short of the full contraction, and use the core vertices as "hubs"? Hope you don't mind but I took a little look at your posting history and saw this: h
