Every video that has been broadcast has been edited I'm not sure what your point is.

Why would working in tech shield someone from our healthcare system? “Most bankruptcies occurred in middle-class citizens with health insurance” https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-93430900525-7/fulltext If you h

There is a virus lab in Wuhan because a lot of coronaviruses originate in that region. Its existence/location is not evidence of a lab leak. If anything, the lab leak “theory” has received too much media attention when the primary evid

Work from home is good for people who have to work in-person, because it lessens the spread. Also, just because I have a job that has some level of risk does not mean I would expect others to have a similar level of risk. Especially if it c

I actually think we’ll get break even fusion energy before mass adoption of robotaxis in a variety of locales.

AR/VR is in a hype superposition, large companies have made large investments yet the tech is arguably in the "trough of disillusionment". Few people think it will break into mainstream use anytime soon. So far, 99% of sales

Because their prophet was murdered by the state. It seems weird that a religion would be pro-execution when their founding was, in part, "innocent man was executed". I'm sure believers have jumped through the hoops required t

That’s a great little keyboard, it reminds me of early smartphone keyboards in a good way. I wonder if Apple decided against a controller in order to allow third party solutions to flourish . They can take their time and see what people gra

From using various VR systems, a hololens, and reading reviews of the vision pro I really feel like hand gestures are a bad way to interact with AR systems. They might work in a pinch (heh) but some sort of small controller that can act as

Are they? I don't know any factory workers but I have friends outside of tech and they can all relate to "arbitrary rules from management that make my job harder are frustrating".

Even if colleges are more censorious these days (which I’m skeptical of), I struggle to think of any institution in American life more open minded than colleges. Mainstream media acts as a hive mind. Businesses do not host speakers critical

Heavily armed psychos have been charging into schools to slaughter innocents regularly, for decades now, and those in power have done nothing to stop it. But the kids must be anxious because of phones.

This data does not indicate a “shift”, since it’s a point in time and we’d need historical data to claim there’s a shift. If the argument is about a “generational shift” then you’d need data going back decades at least.

If their analysis is inconsistent and arbitrary then it’s worse than useless, it’s harmful. It’s not hard to do better. The legal analysis of “I’m just doing what I want based on vibes” would be better, because at least it would be honest!

303 Creative was not prosecuted under Colorado's law. They were not even asked to create a wedding website for a gay couple: https://newrepublic.com/article/173987/mysterious-case-fake-... In fact, there is n

Standing is just an excuse to punt. Lack of standing did not stop them in 303 Creative v Elenis, nor did it stop them in Biden v Nebraska.

My anecdotal experience regarding pay has been the opposite, at least here in Seattle. The employers who require people to come in a few days a week are all big corps who pay quite well. I wonder if the relative pay depends on the cost of l

How does the "compensation for atmospheric turbulence" work? It honestly sounds impossible, like those tv shows where the detective "enhances" a blurry photo.

They tax people, especially high earners, at a higher rate than Americans. It’s not complicated. The US is the wealthiest country in the history of the planet. We could afford to fund social security if we wanted to but some people are oppo

I suspect for many of the employees this was an intentional way of leaving. Personally I could never work for a company that profits from war like Lockheed or Raytheon. Few people think of Google in that light, so bringing attention to it o

Is there any deeper reporting on this? There seems like a big disconnect between Google's claims: "defaced our property, physically impeded the work of other Googlers... and made co-workers feel threatened" and the claims of

I agree, but the solution is to consume a variety of news sources rather than expecting some perfect formula from one.

Probably. Every news organization gets stories wrong. That’s why reputable news sites issue corrections: https://www.npr.org/corrections/

A news organization that chased “diversity of opinion” would not be a good news organization. Some opinions are not worth entertaining. If NPR were broadcasting the rantings of flat earthers, Sasquatch hunters, and anti-vax weirdos, it may

Do those charts actually show a shift in content, or is it merely a shift in terminology?

I’m curious to hear about your media diet because that has not been the case for me.
