In a world where global warming poses an existential threat to humanity, any actions that devalue public perception of experts and scientists are dangerous. We are in big trouble, and if we don't collectively recognize that, put aside

Allow them to put their family first and maintain a healthy work life balance and they will put up with a lot. Anything you can do on top of that as far as pay (not necessarily top tier but not insulting) and autonomy/ability to contri

Yes, I think it's still a stretch. Something along the lines of the guns don't kill people, people kill people argument. I'm not saying that Amazon wasn't at fault here, but if you just read the headline and looked at th

It's a bit of a stretch to me that the picture up top is trying to pin the heartfelt death of a father on Amazon when all Amazon did was sell a pill press... I'm not saying Amazon should be selling these things, but that choice ma

Overall I like it, great interface. I would like to be able to explore the map without changing the station I'm actively listening to.

This article is basically just saying we don't know enough to be certain how long immunity will last. It's packaging zero new information under a clickbaity title.

"By adhering to strict hygiene measures, it can be expected that the virus concentration in a person infected can be reduced to such an extent that the severity of the disease is reduced, while at the same time immunity is developed. T

How are they so late on this? I thought Bezos was going to be all over figuring out how to keep people working safely, that's going to be a huge factor in the success or failure of businesses going forward.

Seems like people took "greatest country in the world" a little more seriously than was intended...

If we can't do better here most everything else is meaningless. This is not a proper response to this crisis for the greatest country in the world.

Stay home, explain the severity of the situation to people who are not taking it seriously to ensure that they stay home as well.

It's a shame there isn't a way to try the keyboard in person due to all the retail shutdowns.

Do not fear large companies. They are inefficient and not necessarily well guided in their decision making processes.

"It is much easier for me to avoid art though." Pretty much sums it up doesn't it.

For this to be meaningful in any way I'd love to see some statistics as to how many people Google employs (broken down by gender/cultural background/etc.) and then see their complaint rate. I'd then like to see it compar

This is not a well written or useful article. First it says debt as a percentage of GDP used to be higher so it should have been scarier. Then it says current interest rates are low but doesn't give anywhere near the weight to that sta

Yeah, I want to live in a world where people are afraid to speak what they truly believe even if it's controversial. They should be so afraid of losing everything they just keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Nothing bad ever

I hope you're also avoiding any sort of medical treatment pioneered by people with questionable histories. Or any medical treatment derived from research pioneered by people with questionable histories. That would be problematic.

Did you read the original email Stallman sent? Please enlighten me as to how he in any way insinuates child sex trafficking is good.

Can you explain the general path in layman's terms in a few sentences? As far as I can tell AI is really good at analyzing large datasets and recognizing patterns. It can then implement processes based on what it's learned from th

I'm imagining the equivalent of our archaeologists finding their way into one of those data centers and figuring out what to do with a hard drive. I wonder what a datacenter would look like 10,000 years from now if no one did anything

I think there are plenty of unecrypted copies of Wikipedia floating around. Good point though.

Why? There's sooooooo much electronic equipment in the world right now. Huge datacenters, landfills filled to the brim with electronics. I think it's a stretch to assume that would all just evaporate. You could load the entirety o

"Once you are cesspool member your beliefs cannot be altered." Why? This is the crux of the problem. I don't believe that anyone who could be so easily swayed in one direction can't be swayed back. What am I missing here

I think you're missing my point but maybe you can clarify. Do you think it's possible for a site like 8chan to radicalize someone or do you just see it as a site for people who are inherently degenerate to congregate? If it's

One other thing I think is critical: "Talking to these people over the course of hundreds of years hasn't helped" I think you have to concede that over the past couple hundred years race relations have improved significantly.
