I filed a formal complaint Brian O was breaching fiduciary duty in the 10-K and was subsequently fired unceremoniously for my “performance” by two directors on a call the next morning. Amazon tried to hire me back 6 months later, from multi

Right wing populists do those things too; their disagreement is about how to administer those programs. That’s part of what facilitated the political rotation where left and right populists formed the Unity Party (Trump, Kennedy, Gabbard, e

ATMs and banks (cash advances) supported cards and cards with chips, but not NFC. My physical cards were lost together — which admittedly was dumb, but losing your wallet while still having your passport and phone/Apple Wallet shouldn’

My point is that you can’t define “-3” as “0-3” to make it work: you’re assuming exactly what’s being debated (via sleight of hand) when you insert the terms with brackets in the way you do rather than the way I do. When you try to swap in

I didn’t say that in what you quoted. > Society views the 1:[fascistic impulses] of those in control 2:[stifling innovation and growth] as damage I say that people who run our societies are fascists — and their impulses for control [1] t

But what about (0-3)^2? You said that “-3” = “0-3”. So we have “-3^2” is “(0-3)^2” is 9. Agreeing with -3^2 = 9. You’re performing a sleight of hand when you define “-3” to be “0-3”, but move the parenthesis to get your second equation. You

Mostly to make polynomials easy. But if we’re doing math mostly on computers, we should adopt rules that make writing on computers easy — not pedantically insist typing code follow the rules of handwriting polynomials.

I just checked and Adobe Illustrator does the same. I think it’s interesting that actually, they didnt change the rotation definition (from X+ toward Y+), but because it’s a visible change from their inversion of the plane, people believe

What do you mean? The internet has successfully resisted multiple government-sponsored PSYOPs and allowed the formation of a revolution to fix society from its current trend towards fascism, unifying the liberation movement across continent

How do those things help? I had both a credit card and a phone; you can’t get cash with NFC. I was stuck using credit card services and cut off from most of the economy of the primarily cash-based society I was visiting. To the extent merch

In much the same way the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it, financial networks consider lost opportunity due to regulation as damage and route around it. People will assume I mean buying drugs, but actually, I me

What happens if you include image memes? ie, the dominant mode of chatter in male circles. I’m not sure how you’d quantify generic “meme rate of change” though, across such disparate mediums.

I don’t think you need the seemingly. Good sales people simply get to know and have relationships with a lot of people. Eg, a salesman from LPKF happily traded emails with me after a decade of not speaking and only meeting a few times about

We’re already seeing that split, between “developer” and “engineer”. We have been for years. But that’s normal, eg, we have different standards for a shed (yourself), house (carpenter and architect), and skyscraper (bonded firms and certifi

There’s also some weird technicalities: Eg, if you shard a key into three pieces and each person carries one through security, did anyone actually transport the money through?

You can encode your bitcoin in wallets of predetermined size, spreading your risk. But you’re reinventing money with extra steps.

I always like analogies, eg: Skimping on feed because the penned milk cattle have to take it. I would actually appreciate if our systems were coherently sociopathic rather than chaotic due to individual personality faults. At least then, co

We had a daily standup at my first job in apartment maintenance, too. Just five minutes of the whole team there at the start of the day to sync up; but it turned up lots of practical problems, like who would be in the shop to receive a plan

My experience aligns with your advice: Most police officers will bully you within the extent of their authority and try to deceive you into complying beyond their authority, but will not physically break the law. With those police, being po

K-shaped “recovery” is socially dangerous for that reason: - you have net positive statistics, so the government doesn’t intervene - you have a class that controls the levers of power growing substantial wealth in “services” and other extra

I don’t think it’s a “warp drive”. It’s a “warp stasis” bubble or field: you’ve effectively suspended (or considerably slowed) the people inside to preserve them for the future — stasis. I think you’re running into objections because while
