I'm curious if the other workaround will just be to have Junior Software Engineer I ($60K-$65K), JSE II ($65-70), etc. and post them all via the power of automation and just down qualify candidates from JSE VIII to JSE II because of th

You say "you" don't want to introduce laws to force you to believe what you believe. Are you fighting against the people you voted for passing those laws? Are you willing to vote the other side given evidence that the current

You're right, but it is multiple things. These giant foods do lose flavor concentration. Additionally, a lot of these things are not allowed to ripen naturally. They are picked early and put in storage with nitrogen gas to suspend ripe

AI isn't a stand-alone panacea for this. We've done lost of studies with other radiologists. Taking the union of two "bad" radiologists outperforms a single "good" radiologist. Humans aren't machines, we h

Well said. I design board games as a hobby and we go to playtesting events where random strangers try to play your unfinished game. As you said, it quickly becomes clear what works and what doesn't. It exposes you to people who play yo

Maybe, but that should be their right. We need fixes but as long as you can buy a Senator for 4 or 6 years for $100K, we have no chance. Things get a lot harder if that same voting power for 1 vote costs $5M. The problem is that the people

That's unfair. People are exhausted. The world is too complex. We have almost no control of anything. People just want to eat, sleep and spend time with their family. They don't have hours a day to get up to speed on the most comp

To be fair, I know nothing about Christianity outside of the US. Just speaking of those I've interacted with. I'm not sure it is only Evangelicals. Catholics won't even let other Christians take communion. You may say that is

No, I grew up going to church three times a week. I believe in God but not religion for the reasons mentioned. All my family is religious. They post the most hateful judgmental things on FB. My one cousin is gay and her direct family won&#x

That is the narrative of the religious but most don't go to learn about what they are doing wrong. They go to find out what other people are doing wrong so they can feel superior and rail against the sin of others. Religion has alway

While true, they wouldn't be so generous if they were making it on the backend via search. They don't care that much what store the user uses as long as they search on Google. Do they offer any "user freedom" there?

Good advice. Find out what they would pay money to not have to do. Find out what they would pay money to be able to do.

They should move all this to the midwest where we grow crops. The Ogallala Aquifer will last forever!!! /s Oh wait, we are depleting that at the rate of 18 Colorado Rivers per year . We are such a greedy species. We need some major ch

Right but freedom is never free. It is free if users think it is free. Companies use lots of chemicals that are unhealthy in/on/around all our food (even "organic") but growing all your own food is untenable, unless we r

I think that is a little unfair. The tech companies still do some stuff that provides value to people and usually for free. Additionally, grandma isn't going to be rooting phones and installing toolchains and managing their own hardwar

If Apple popped up a list on install of search engines to pick from, 99% of people would pick Google anyway. Google is mostly afraid they will buy a startup and have their own or make the same deal with M$. At $15B of pure bottom line, it i

So is climate change real? Depending on the administration, you will get a different answer. My point is that if you start making it illegal to tell a lie, you may find yourself having to break the law or "tell the truth". In my o

Who gets to decide what is a lie? Which is the lie: "Biden won" or "Trump won"? Depends on who is in charge, depends on who gets to decide what "proof" is, depends on who controls the "news" (there is

It is far more widespread than an interaction with a Google employee. The phenomenon is everywhere. It was distilled perfectly by Upton Sinclair quite a while ago: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depen

Serious question: Couldn't they ban ISPs from connecting to known networks? A public blockchain must remain public and they can largely prevent that. They could (not saying they will) ban VPN connections to other countries.

Agreed 100%. There will be special exit/on ramps built along highways and the trucks will largely just stay in their lane even if slower. It would cut the number of truckers needed by probably 50+%.

Yeah and there are some many other choices at this point. I think a perfect startup would be a streaming manager. It creates unique passwords and handles the billing through virtual cards. You pick 6 streaming services and the system just r

Do people still use Pinterest? I used to hear/see females in my family talking about it but not anymore. It seems like all Pinterest does today is destroy google image search.

It is such a travesty what we've done in the middle east. We kept toppling people we thought we're bad and are surprised that the puppet doesn't have support. Maybe the stability that was there was hard one. Maybe everyone in

It wouldn't be state based. The federal government would pass a law that you can't charge more than Medicare +20%. This fixes some major rent-seeking costs in the current system. It gets rid of the need for brokers (which typicall

This won't help at all. The narrative will indeed move from unapproved to rushed. This is just like a run of the mill FB post: ain't nobody convincing nobody of nothing! The FDA screwed up and should have just announced it was ful

We're about to find out one way or the other in the US. Hospitals are full, ERs are full, ICUs are full and it is likely going to stay that way all fall/winter. This has two consequences: 1) There are no beds and/or staff for

Reference based pricing is a simple, easy to pass (it can be framed as price caps) rule that would cut healthcare spending by 25%. However, part of the reason we spend so much is that we demand so much. We have urgent cares on every block.

As long as the Fed keeps interests at 0% and prints money, assets will keep inflating.

Right, exercise is good for your heart and bones but bad for weight loss if that is your goal . Also, weight loss is about stress and emotions. I've seen lots of people have desert at lunch because "I'll work out later"
