I think in Japan the culture is almost 100% Guessing. I read this anecdote online about a US business dealing with Japanese partners (clients?). There's an item they'd like to discuss, in their regular meeting they bring it up, an

I ask AI how to solve programming problems (e.g. how to check hung database sessions), and I realize the next time I needed it, I never memorized the command and have to look back in the logs...

I wonder if there needs to be an "NDA for feedback"... or at least a "non-disparagement agreement". Something along the lines of "here's the contract, we give you feedback, you don't make it public [is som

Yeah, I'm a North-Up cult member too, after seeing a behind the scenes video of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear suggesting it, claiming "never get lost again".

An obvious comparison is probably the habitual usage of GPS navigation. Some people blindly follow them and some seemingly don't even remember routes they routinely take.

Execution of laws is left to the executive branch. The constitution says power of the executive is vested in one person. Currently that man is someone who's been convicted of breaking several laws, indicted for others, and has instruct

Xi Jinping is probably gleeful, if he can manipulate that moron he'd have USA under his control. Putin already needs his support for Ukraine, add USA and he'd gain the title of the most powerful person on the planet. But consideri

The way Trump thinks the world works, why the hell not? He thinks the government of Norway is the one who decides who gets the Nobel Peace Prize... He thinks he ended 8 wars (ok this might be him talking out of his ass, as usual, but do we

One hopes, if it gets that far, somebody in the military will finally defy orders, and although the US has its first coup d'etat, the rule of law can return. I still remember some redditor saying what happened in Nazi Germany couldn&#x

There's probably still plenty of value in the name, who knows if the audience who are impressed if you say "I've got a Porsche" vs "I got a Zeekr/BYD/Xiaomi" is growing or shrinking, if it shrinks fas

I wonder how much one can analyze with timings and sizes. If a news article on a known hostname has 5 Xitter embeds and 4 Instagram ones, the Creep in the Middle can count how many bytes are transferred in the HTTPS requests to Xitter/

I think the feeling of helplessness is reasonable.. Maybe they see how much more they have to sacrifice a lot more to fight this tyranny of stupidity. Only when the population has lost a lot more will they get mad enough to say "well w

Luckily since USA is close to N. Korea your statement holds true. Glad to be not American. Curiously enough if you do a survey of who of Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump would be more likely to throw a world-threatening tantrum.. I don't t

It's like saying sanctions will make N. Koreans or Russians rebel against their governments, and then wondering why none of them has done so, "are they cowards?". As if rebelling is so simple and not a life-changing thing...

I've been talking to a friend that maybe his way to world domination is to give everyone with a brain an aneurysm. Also, it's pathetic how his envy of a particular younger, charismatic, well-loved Black man is so apparent. Obama h

How to fix the human/society instead? Technology has enabled a lot of evil: the society that had guns came and colonized the society without, and made them slaves (here's the opening to argue that Genghis Khan managed to enslave
