This seems like a massive problem. Instead of going out and getting a story, they let trendy topics on Twitter & Facebook dominate? Well that doesn’t seem like their job to me —- it seems lazy and self-serving. Not sure what else to exp

By saying "I'm not trying to cast doubt" they in fact acknowledge their statement casts doubt. Surely you can see how...?

Every name that signed that document ought to be criminally charged, though like other commenters, I find it unlikely. TANJ.

Are you required to give your age? Why not use their weight if we’re requiring information about passengers?

IME, daily standups exist primarily for management to take attendance. This is usually framed as "removing any immediate blockers to keep employees productive".

Agreed; human resources are the same as natural resources: fodder for exploitation.

I suspect you're right, and I already don't want this technology to exist, or its creation to be pursued. A brain-computer interface will, IMO, most likely be used to control brains, not computers.

Thanks; I definitely don’t and can’t claim to understand the “front end” at this point. Your comment was enlightening.

For-profit healthcare ought to be a crime against humanity. It certainly feels like it is.

I take your statement to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but if you're unfamiliar with Strauss-Howe generational theory[0], you'd think there would be another "good generation" right around the corner. [0] https://e

The consequences of people’s votes don’t matter when political affiliation is handed down within families similarly to religious affiliation. The number of people that say “I vote for X because my family votes for X; we’re X people” is simp

The US government has gotten around its prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishment” in two ways. First, it outsourced the cruelty to private businesses, who are not prohibited in the same way. Second, in instances where it cannot be outso

As someone searching for employment in the Midwest, I feel your pain. I saw a position yesterday that wanted 15+ years of experience and paid, I kid you not, $17/hr. Compensation in the Midwest is a joke. If my family weren’t here, I’d

You most certainly are not the only person. At this point, I presume governments are breaking every law on the books. Who is going to stop them?

You give me hope, and a bit of joy since I'm not alone.

I sit down at a desktop, and do what I must there. Edit: To be honest, I made this reply from my phone. I'm as addicted as anyone to these devices, and its why I've put so much effort into curtailing my usage. Edited from a deskto

Sure seems like its past time to put down the smartphones, close the social media accounts, and be done with as much of this garbage as possible. I’ve got myself down to < 20 minutes of screen time on my smartphone, daily. Now to see if

I'm reasonably certain I'm not a bot, and I'm 100% certain no one is paying me for my unpopular opinions. So: who aims to gain from my comment? Well, if Google were to be broken up, and some amount of privacy restored to all

My favorite example is the phrase “human resource”. If you reframe humans as resources, exploiting them is the next, natural step. Words matter. Corporate speak dehumanizes us all.

There is no scenario in which Google should be trusted. They’ve squandered that trust over the years. Frankly they should be broken up.

You can be clever in personal files, say ~/.bash_profile — for your user personally. But never in scripts used in production that must be maintained by a group. That rule served me well for many years. YMMV

This makes a strong case for determining the contact details of the Apple executives, and reporting them all as spam.

I feel similarly about SSRI/MAOI drugs. Doctors prescribe these as if humans understood brain chemistry. I’m sure we understand some things, but we have such an incomplete picture. It wasn’t too long ago doctors thought the shape of yo

Alas, thats a relic of a bygone era. More recently, our politicians simply “don’t recall”, or worse directly lie to us. For C-level folks, its simpler. Take no responsibility ever, unless forced to by the courts. Even then, taking actual re
