> [Leveling] conflates career development and salary negotiation. It encourages a mindset of saying, “what must I do to make L10” when you want to say, “I want a $10K raise.” It's not obvious to me why this is a bad thing. I agree t

I guess it depends how you define "plainly". Musk is right at the forefront of spreading exaggerated or misleading claims. Condoms to Gaza, Power's 30M, tens of millions of dead people receiving social security. He's not

Europa Clipper is 6.1T whilst Huygens was 5.6T: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heaviest_spacecraft . Also worth mentioning that Jupiter is much further away on average.

Tradition does dictate that the PM is an MP, and tradition in UK parliament is pretty binding. However, an MP does not even need to be a British citizen: an Irish or a Commonwealth citizen can become an MP and go on to command the confidenc

Just last year NASA launched the largest ever interplanetary space-craft, and hopefully the first craft to approach and conduct scientific studies on Europa. SpaceX is almost entirely focused on getting humans into space - which is great -

The UK's recent prime minister Boris Johnson was born in the US two British parents who happened to be studying in Manhatten at the time. They all moved back here a few months later. The idea that he could be some sort of US sleeper ag

That's admirably reflective. I was just wondering why Gates came to your mind rather than e.g. Bezos. It might be that you've recently read about some scandal that Gates hushed up. Or perhaps Gates is an easier target because he&#

Spray painting Teslas is not "violence against civilians". Even setting fire to them in a showroom is debatable if it's at night when no one's about.

There's a lot of subjective judgement going on in this post, but putting that aside: how does all this not apply equally well to most other wealthy billionaires such as Bezos, Ellison, Ballmer etc... ? I'm curious why you're

The content of this article is in stark contrast to the information I'm seeing from other posters as well as relatively non-partisan sources such as the BBC and Wikipedia. I've done some preliminary fact-checking to try and gauge

Thanks for the link. Have you come across Dennett's multiple drafts model of consciousness, and if so how would you say this compares with that? Scanning the intro section of your link suggests that perhaps Calvin is modelling at a low

For now the EU has only frozen the bulk of Russian assets. The cases where assets or money has been seized are in cases such as sanctions violations. EU countries are unlikely to seize anything unless they have a solid legal justification

It might help to compare it with going to the gym or for a run. In some sense this produces an immediate negative reaction: our muscles get sore and stiff, and we get out of breath. But we still do it perhaps because we feel better afterwar

That scene wasn't too bad as a Brit. I find that I struggle with Boomhauer from King of the Hill ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_PG-rYyHk ) although that's partly because of how much slur there is.
