Profoundly disagree. Perhaps in rhetorical or philosophical contexts it may be relevant. But concerning questions of what constitutes acceptable workplace conduct, it is way off the page (and in my view, completely out of line).

Right, and that was understood already. The point I'm making is that (apart from that information) they were drawing unnecessary attention to the coworkers' nationality.

Except there's a fatal flaw in the response, in that the $15 anchor was immediately implausible (in that it was way higher than the normally accepted price). In order for anchors work, they need to fall somewhere within the range of w

Very helpful to know. It shouldn't matter that the people doing this are Israeli, though. Either way, let's hear more reports from other Googlers, please.

Arab states declaring war on Israel is a part of history. Right, but certain other things happened in that time period which are hugely important also. Meanwhile, [the Palestinians] in Israel enjoy more rights than in [some] Arab countri

Not just to "Israel" as a customer -- but at least part of the project has been earmarked to the IDF specifically (per documents obtained in a recent Time magazine investigation). That's a huge distinction, especially given w

Apparently not a scam, but there's an amply supply of reports on Reddit about the shabby treatment of people who have had the misfortune of getting caught up in their opaque and time-consuming selection process (leaving candidates in l

Future models are world-changing, and we have every reason to believe models will continue to scale in this way. So how do you know this exactly? What the naysayers always miss is exponential growth. They don’t look towards the future.

I was referring to the "Best Books of 2023" section, which (for every sublink) produces the behavior I'm describing. So okay, fine - only part of the site is based on straight-up favorite counting. But then I did some topi

The corporate world doesn’t give a shit about finesse, abstractions, witty or beautiful code. Right, but that wasn't what the OP was talking about. In fact the issues they were concerned about were pretty much orthogonal to that. Y

There is no "aggregate" rating system of any kind or even a rating system. Yes there is. Pick a genre, and you get a list of books explicitly ranked (rated, same thing) by the number of people who reviewed it (in essence, by &q

Every book on our website is chosen by a reader who loved it. Yeah, we get that. It's the aggregate ranking of such picks (taken across a large set of reviewers somehow) that I was referring to. That is, an algorithm. Which is, a

Except the selections of what you get to look at are made by an algorithm , not people. Yes, an algorithm that mixes and matches ratings made by (a particular category of) people. But at the end of the day - an algorithm. So in this very
