Really? How have policies been made for the past hundred years without it then? In the United States, lobbyists have approached lawmakers with pre-written legislation and pitched it to them. I would rather have lawmakers asking LLMs to ex

Did you even read your own link? Yes, and I even directly quoted it for you. He agreed to the deal without any explicit guarantees. Absolutely false, as has been explained to you already. Stop with the disinformation. The US made vague

Yes because that’s what they agreed to in advance of the meeting False. No such agreement existed. https://www.barrons.com/news/ukraine-has-agreed-on-terms-of-... Zelenski indicated that he was willing to sign a dea

As for “no agreed benefit” - the benefit was continued US support in the short term until a peace is negotiated. False: Ukraine had asked for security guarantees from the US as part of any agreement. The source said the draft of the de

George W. Bush showed the world what "preemptive defense" leads to. "Speak softly and carry a big stick" seems to be a better plan for stability while keeping aggressors in check.

The agenda is to abandon US allies and let Russia expand however it wants, because that's what Putin wants. Putin wants to erase the Ukrainian cultural identity, which is what Russia has tried to do for centuries.

After Zelenskyy came to the White House with the intention of running the already-decided deal to the ground with some newly invented security guarantees not talked about previously, heavily expecting US to bend the knee to him is just out

I've been through several layoffs, on both sides of the coin. The one consistent factor I've seen is managerial incompetence. Management will fail to provide any leadership or guidance to employees, then blame them for not being

At my current job, where I’ve been for 14 of those 21 years, I feel simultaneously underappreciated and overpayed. This is a really, really good problem to have. In my opinion, you should look for fulfillment elsewhere in life.

The world is tired of it. No, the world seems pretty committed to backing Ukraine in its defense against an invader. Only Putin, his puppets, and their useful idiots who consume Putin's propaganda seem to be "tired of it".

I've had concepts click in my head literally years after studying them. I have no idea why. I assume I was exposed to tangentially related information at some point, then an old thought bubbles up and it suddenly makes sense.

I have no doubt that it can be cut down by 50% without adversely affecting anything long term. As long as you don't care about American soft power, or the many lives we save with our humanitarian programs, you may be right. If you

And like I said, it wasn't really a startup. They just liked to use that phrase in order to convince people to work free overtime.

I remember reading about SysAdmins who wrote mods for MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons, like a text-based MMO) to give them system status notifications in-game. For example, "a pigeon arrives with a note: Server 3 is down". Plenty of j

Not only are their jobs different, most of them have no understanding whatsoever of how the workers generate business value. The age of the technical founder is over.

Family members of mine at the VP/EVP level in “enterprise” type companies regularly work 12+ hours on weekdays and ~8 per day on weekends. What do they do in all those hours? My only experience with executives is the CEO at a &quot

Who says it isn't? If you want my opinion, it's the same habit creeping into the new language. Whether or not that's dehumanizing, I don't know, and I don't care. I'm fine with the term "illegals".

Stop acting like we are idiots for not wanting to engage with geopolitical power games as much as we have been. The time for that attitude was the early 2000s, when we started two wars that cost us 30 trillion dollars. We're curren

When the completely descriptive term "illegal immigrant" becomes somehow an immoral thing to call people who immigrate illegally, it was a bit absurd I think you're missing GP's point. It's "illegals" t

The strong reason for this attack was Russia's security concerns got ignored and stepped on by a military alliance (NATO). NATO is a defensive pact. Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants their port, arable land, and because he wa

Staying in the comfort zone means doing 5 times 1 year of experience. It’s safe, but you are taking a long term risk of becoming less relevant and end up reducing your options. This makes no sense to me. If you spend five years working o
