Technically yes, maybe Edgar could do all of that - but how would it be expected as a part of a technical project? That's like saying to the inventor of a car that his project should include instituting word peace and finding the meani

I'm not sure why they discussed Israel at all - except for bullshit accusation in racism which seems to come automatically nowdays. Israeli intelligence failure had zero to do with any technology and everything to do with political and

Being forced as whistle-blower and being suicidal are again very different things. Especially when he was in the middle of proving he's right. And right in the middle of the fight, between the testimonies, after he spent so much effort

That's one twisted sense of humor. Maybe I am underestimating Edgar.

You say it like "anxiety" and "stress" are synonymous to suicidal. I am a pretty anxious person, and sometimes have a lot of stress at work, and experienced burnout in the past too. That doesn't mean I am about to s

It's not used to be. It used to be optimistic. But then I guess the creators thought that "real literature" should be more "complex" and started to put more fear and desolation in. After all, as we know, all happy f

(Spoilers) It takes Edgar 54 days to build a swarm taking metallic elements from all sources, including living organisms. But then when instructed not to harm living organisms, it still takes Edgar 54 days to do the same. Extracting metals

For Tripadvisor, I see that my negative reviews from years ago (not that many - I am pretty easy to please, but occasionally a hotel or restaurant falls below even my low standards) are up and visible. It could be the owners just don't

I don't think it's possible for them to think they are unbiased. They are probably thinking they are very smart by trying to sit on two chairs at once - declare they are "remote friendly" and force people on-site at the

Genius idea, so the people who want to work hard and get ahead would leave, and people that don't care about anything but paycheck and can't find anything better will stay and bide the time, doing the absolute minimum not to get f

I don't think it's the mass media. I mean, the media - especially social networks - play a role, but ultimately it's people who make it the hellscape it sometimes is. It's not some feature of technology or business or &q

Virtually all journalists work for the same system POTUS is headlining, why would he kill his own henchmen? Those rare cases where some don't are handled much better by censorship and deplatforming. Why kill someone if you can make it

Do you think any other company wouldn't fire an employee who made a scene at a PR event? I suspect, though, that in most companies the employees already know what would happen, and would not do things like that - first, because they do

What would you expect to achieve asking a question like that? If you try to use an LLM as your moral guide in figuring out whether women deserve human rights, you just may be too dumb to be allowed to connect to the internet (though I'

Nobody owes you or anybody to validate your beliefs. Employee, however, owes the company certain standards of behavior. If you violate them, you get fired, and can continue holding your beliefs outside of employment.

Depending on the words, yes. Obviously, they disagree on what is the best way for the company to behave. In this case, the management of the company, by definition, has the priority, and if the differences are large enough, ending the emplo

CC companies like you to try and resolve it with the merchant first, if possible. Obviously if it's overt fraud (e.g. charge without your consent) then it's not the case, but if the merchant can prove you authorized the transactio

And that's why it's pejorative. Because people with whom it is associated are doing things like this. If they were known for feeding orphans and supporting the ailing, then the term wouldn't be used in pejorative sense. Since
