I think it makes sense, a lot of celebrities that I know, I only happen to know them because someone else talked about them, not because they have some kind of talent that I was looking for.

I have seen you doing this for years (here and on reddit) and I have to say it's amazing and thank you. You're always very calm and communicate quite clearly even with aggressive people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect tha

You're not thinking widely enough. The following is not the real story, just an hypothetical example: You're Codake, a company that sells chemical photography materials. Some person invents digital photography, you find out and bu

They acted just like actual malicious actors by not letting anyone know or asking for consent on their experiment. Try robbing a bank and then claiming you were just testing their security and it was just for research, see how well that wor

Then why was the motel owner confident that the $100 bill would come back to him so he wouldn't be caught stealing from the tourist? Clearly he knew this was happening.

That one is much simpler though, it's just a closed loop of people owing each other. The interesting part is that it seems the motel owner was aware that the loop existed and would end up back with him, otherwise he would've been

That would give me a bad impression as a candidate. It's like you're aware of the issue (sales doesn't give two shits about the capacity of the engineering team) but you want someone that is good at wasting a lot of time effi

So you want to ban it without even knowing how much impact it has? My guess is not much, as usual.
