Experiments are used in the scientific method to invalidate hypothesss. I'd say that yes, a simulation is an experiment, since it can do that.

I mixed up two types of politics in the workplace in my other comment. What I generally understand as "politicization of the workplace" is more around employees talking about issues they care about unrelated to what the company is

Wouldn't your compensation imply that the employer is paying you for your time and expertise so that you further their business? If you disagree with what they're trying to do and management disagrees, then shouldn't you just

Agreed, fixing real estate crisis is taking money away from the main wealth storage of most people. Apart from a catastrophe I don't see the elected officials do anything about it.

If you have different DPI needs, xorg has a lot of difficulty with it. works on windows. Wayland doesn't work on nvidia and is missing some features too. Linux desktop sucks.

I can see all of those being done better by an AI in the future. Maintenance is already done a lot by machines right now, I don't see that changing.

Automatic type conversion is prone to errors. Either they acknowledge that and force strict comparison (or add a way to do that), or they ignore and thus their change has no real effect, since mistakes will still happen with the new scheme.

"foo" is type casted into an int and, since it's not an int even when casted, it gets casted to a falsey 0. (int)"9" === 9 (int)"a" === 0 I assume this will cause backward incompatibility? I could see peop

If a contractor always overcharge you it seems normal to stop business with him, how is this different?

I don't know that the US version has any. But there is a risk that algorithms get tuned to influence youth imo. I think all youth-oriented products have this problem, but China is a riskier actor in that regard. There are a few video w

How come? Clearly the app is used by the youth. Having gullible youth using the app of a country that's knows for its in-app propaganda is very clearly a national security risk.

China's state doesn't take the role of the family afaik. The state is pretty laissez-faire until something global comes up. Also I don't think the men to female ratio being higher is that significant in aggregated data. It wa

What do you mean by patriarchy? If you mean traditional gender roles, what about country that have strong gender roles, but a fairly low suicide gender ratio such as india and china?

The suicide rate ratio of genders is interesting. Most countries have a >2 ratio of males to females suicide rates, except countries slightly passed the developing country status. Some countries have 6-7, while similar have way less. Any

It's the context of the answer; you stated possibilities, but, when considering consequences of actions, possibilities don't matter.

The rise is expected imo. The US politics are highly polarized and mob movements are very common. Mix this with a highly connected society and that's what you get. The generational discrepency also suggests this, with older people not
