The answer is contractors and consultants. State agencies routinely work with third parties that need to be able to share files. Obviously this isn’t universal but it isn’t uncommon.

It escalates tensions for no readily identifiable reason. Like we’re not looking to pick a fight with China or Russia right now, and saying “hey y’all we captured a Chinese drone” sounds like a great way to push public opinion over a precip

Where did it mention that they were unable to get imagery of the drones or recover one? If the thesis is that this may be a foreign incursion, I very much doubt that they’d broadcast that they’d captured one.

Anyone who’s old enough to have a 20 year military career is at least a millennial.

Furthermore, most people panicking about dnd and raves have exactly zero experience with either. Almost everyone has experience with social media and a lot of the criticism of it comes from things people directly observe from their own pers

Low-code is just good libraries and good frameworks. My hot take is that anything “low code” beyond that is just an aggressively user-hostile config interface.

Cardio in the mornings. I used to work out mainly at night, and I still lift in the afternoons, but going on a jog or bike ride right after getting up is amazing. No matter how shitty it is outside or how much I do not want to drag myself o

There are a lot of things in life that would be trivial if everyone was really good at what they did, had the most perfectly pure of intentions, and were omnisciently aware. Unfortunately that’s not the world we live in, and even farther fr

Try teaching or tutoring for a while, either something academic or not. You get the chance to talk to groups, it’s going to be a topic you know well and are comfortable with, and you’ll get lots of chances to refine your techniques.

I think the author kind of has it backward. Most people I know (specifically younger people that I work with) that struggle with perfectionism are afraid to fail enough to master something. They end up king of the bunny slope because they d

The point of the Stasi wasn’t to find/prosecute dissent, it was to create an environment that prevented it from occurring, spreading, or gaining traction. The Stasi existed to sow the fields of popular politics with salt through creati

I have experienced clinical depression and physical activity was absolutely 100% a critical part of both recovery and maintaining mental health. Most (but not all) people that I know who have experienced clinical depression have had similar

I’ve always loved technical analysis discourse because it’s the starkest example of how to actually make money in financial markets, and that’s to actively cultivate information asymmetry among other market participants. If technical anal

Seconding this. You can have all the meetings you want, but at the end of the day the core competency of bank management is managing money and not managing IT, and banks suck at managing IT when it isn’t directly in the critical path of cas

It is effectively not possible to be a mod of a subreddit without third party apps. I don’t think people fully understand just how awful the native mod suite is for Reddit, and this is what the blackout is really about: the fact that Reddit

At least with chess (and plenty of other games) it’s a structured way of participating in cooperative competition/competitive cooperation. Your peers are your adversaries when you’re actually playing, but they’re also the people helpin

The origin 100% does matter. It demonstrates that some kinds of virus research pose an existential threat to humanity if not handled properly. That seems relevant, especially when simultaneously Covid demonstrated that such research is also

I live in Atlanta and Korean isn’t quite taco-level ubiquity but it’s darn close. Everyone I know under the age of 40 does an h-mart run somewhat regularly and kbbq is a goto group dinner spot.

I know for my part, I go out a lot over holidays because I’m back in my home town at the same time as a bunch of other people I don’t see that much and it’s a good opportunity to catch up. I suspect that this is pretty common, especially fo

This is silly. No religious person today who has even a passing understanding of church history thinks that indulgences weren’t a scam. You’re aware that the Reformation has happened since then, right? As to Keynesian economics, the author

This is so utterly wrong it hurts. The internet is real life the same way that evening news is real life. It’s a self-referential funhouse mirror that’s useful exactly for understanding what people who post on the internet think, and “peopl

All of this talk about IBM being incompetent is completely undeserved. They are probably the best in the business at selling nonsense to gullible executives.

I set up a webcam to take selfies every few minutes last year because someone made the same comment to me. Turns out I look like I’m fully prepared to kill when I’m focused intently on something. Which is weird, because I’m rarely actually
